Winter Convergence Festival is a winter seasonal event in New World. This year’s event will begin on December 12 and run until January 9, 2024.

You will complete seasonal quests provided by Winter Wanderer during Winter Convergence Event, collecting Winter Tokens from Aeternum’s repeatable events. You can then use these tokens to purchase some rare items and cosmetics in Holiday Shop.

Winter Villages

To get started, you need to head to one of Winter Villages set up in Everfall, Monarch’s Bluff, Weaver’s Fen, or Brightwood. There are also shops outside each village where you can exchange gifts for tokens.

Winter Warrior

Winter Warrior is an Open World Raid boss associated with Winter Convergence Event. Boss is suitable for groups of 20+ players. You can find them in places like Great Cleave, Brightwood, Edengove, Ebonscale Reach, and Brimstone Sands.

Defeating Winter Warrior will provide you with Warrior’s Hailspikes, which you can redeem for 10 Winter Tokens. Kill the first 3 Winter Warriors each day and you will also receive 15 Dark Matter.

Once you reach Winter Warrior spawn point, there will be four Ice pillars that you need to activate with your Azoth Staff. You need four people to complete each pillar at the same time to get started. Doing so will release Winter Warrior and the battle will begin!

During combat, several additional mobs will spawn along with “Avalanche” clumps. Players need to clear these two targets throughout the battle as they will increase Winter Warrior’s DPS. Here are the rest of Winter Warrior mechanics:

• Slam: Winter Warrior slams forward and deals massive AOE damage.
• Charge: Winter Warrior will move throughout the area, damaging and knocking players down.
• Avalanche: Winter Warrior throws a chunk of snow at the player, forming an Avalance clump.
• Igniting Roar: This will ignite Avalanche balls around him into Arcane Bombs.

Ice Caves

With the launch of Winter Convergence Event, the developers also launched POIs called Ice Caves. These caves emerged because Winter Warrior longed for eternal winter.

After the event is over, these caves will remain as scars on the landscape. They are also the source of wintry magic. Even if the warrior is eventually defeated by the player, they will not melt. There are 8 Ice Caves locations, namely:

• Northeastern Cutlass Keys
• Southern Monarch’s Bluff
• Eastern Windward
• Southern Everfall
• Southern Ebonscale Reach
• North Edengrove
• South Edengrove
• North Shattered Mountain

Winter Convergence Event

There are 4 new activities to take part in during Winter Convergence Event. Each of these events will reward players with Winter Tokens and Event Reputation.

New Questline

These are new quests for the holiday event, and you can pick them up in Winter Villages.

Convergence Spirit

This is a special Town Project to upgrade Tree of Light in each settlement for higher New World Coins earnings.

Lost Present Recovery

We can find Lost Presents throughout Aeternum, and we can redeem them for Winter Tokens at Winter Villages Holiday Hut. There are also some Floating Presents that can only be taken down with ranged weapons. So make sure you carry a ranged weapon with you.

Gleamite Showers

Gleamite Showers are a random event that only occurs at night throughout Aeternum. A crack will appear in the sky and Gleamite will fall to the ground. Then you will have to mine Gleamite. You can then exchange Gleamite for Winter Tokens at Winter Villages Holiday Hut.

Once you start the questline after visiting Winter Villages, it will guide you through a series of holiday quests. These holiday missions reward players with XP, Territory Standing, Azoth, Coin, and Event Reputation.

Pristine Gleamite

As the 2023 event gets underway, one of the new items added to the event store is Pristine Gleamite. This is a new crafting material that can be used to craft 700 pieces of equipment. However, these items grant 3 perks when locked.

They locked all weapons except Life Staff to Keen, Attunement, and Luck. Life Staff comes with Blessed, Attunement, and Luck.

The armor also has a gear score of 700, but it also has 3 perks locked. You can make light, medium or heavy variants. They all come with Health, Enchanted Ward, Luck, and Magnify.

That’s it for our New World Winter Convergence Festival guide. You will collect many glorious rewards and equipment through this event. So don’t hesitate and join us now!
