New World Winter Event 2022
The Winter Convergence event is back. The Winter Warrior and his legion of Frigid Folk are on a relentless mission to spread a Forever Winter across the land.
Icy winds and glimmering Gleamites fill the air once again as Winter Convergence returns to Aeternum. Visit Winter villages in Everfall, Monarch's Bluffs, Weaver's Fen and Brightwood to meet the Der Winterwanderer and carry out his holiday quests. Players can also collect Winter Tokens to earn new, limited-time rewards including festive skins, emotes, housing items and more.
Winter Wanderer Location
Der Winterwanderer is the NPC that offers the new seasonal quests. Below are the spawn locations.
Winter Warrior Location
[creature_yeti_2022] has 18 possible spawn locations.
Winter Warrior Drops
You will get 1-5 [item_wc_winterwarrior_horn] for finishing the encounter. Each horn can be converted to 10x Wintermarke.
Winter Village Location
There are currently only 4 Winter Village locations on the map. The Brimstone Village mentioned in the patch notes doesn't seem to exist.
Gleamite Shower Locations
Gleamite Showers only happen at night, and they happen pretty much anywhere around the map. They spawn around players, so you generally don't have to "hunt" them.
The showers spawn a bunch of [gatherable_winterconvgleamitechunk], which drop [item_wcgleamite].
You should always keep some event food in your inventory for the Gleamite Showers, as they double up the amount of Gleamite you can mine. Here's a list of all the food:
You can buy the event food from the Winter Village for 2x Wintermarke. You also receive some food for completing the Verlorene Geschenke quest.
