Weather and Temperature
Rain falls in five of the six regions and leaves a character Soaked, then Wet, both of which cut stamina. The Kindlewastes has no weather. The Albaneve Summits add cold, which Frost Resistance from 144 sources counters, and the Harsh Weather Occurrences setting adjusts how often harsh weather comes.

Rain by region
6Each region rolls its own weather, and the rain chance per weather change is the share of rolls that bring rain rather than a dry spell. The Albaneve Summits are the wettest at 50% with dry spells of only 4 to 8 min, Revelwood has the longest rain at 4 to 10 min, and the Kindlewastes sit at 0%.
| Region | Rain chance per weather change | Rain lasts | Dry spells last |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springlands | 23.1% | 2 to 6 min | 10 to 15 min |
| Revelwood | 33.3% | 4 to 10 min | 7 to 15 min |
| Nomad Highlands | 20% | 2 to 4 min | 7 to 15 min |
| Kindlewastes | 0% | none | none |
| Albaneve Summits | 50% | 2 to 6 min | 4 to 8 min |
| Veilwater Basin | 23.1% | 2 to 6 min | 7 to 15 min |
Soaked and Wet
2Soaked lasts 30.1 s and cuts Stamina, Stamina Regeneration, Ice Resistance and Shock Resistance by 30%, though it also raises Fire Resistance by 30%. Wet follows for 15 min with only the stamina penalties, and its description tells the player to dry off by the fire.
| Status | Lasts | Effects | Followed by | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soaked | 30.1 s | -30% Stamina, -30% Stamina Regeneration, +30% Fire Resistance, -30% Ice Resistance, -30% Shock Resistance | Wet | You are soaking wet for a short duration. |
| Wet | 15 min | -30% Stamina, -30% Stamina Regeneration | none | Your clothes are wet. Dry yourself by the fire. |
Frost Resistance sources
144Armor accounts for 106 of the 144 sources, mostly at 2, with 21 pieces reaching 4. Of the 23 heat sources the Balefire Brazier is the strongest at 5, Ginger Tea leads the food at 3, and torches give 1.
Wet Duration Reduction
93Wet Duration Reduction comes only from rings and armor: the Ring of Thundersnow takes 2 min off, the three Ultimate rings 1 min each, and the best 17 armor pieces 3 min.
Cold
The cold covers 15.4 km² of the Albaneve Summits, and the Frost Resistance Duration world setting scales how long a character survives in it, from 200% on Relaxed down to 75% on Survival.
