Winter in Aeternum means ice caves, snowfall, new villages, and winter tokens for players to collect during the event. Here’s a bit more on what each of the event’s elements will bring, according to the official event update.

• Winter tokens: “The player takes on the cause of the Winter Wanderer to collect Winter Tokens from repeatable events across the island, and is able to turn them in to a Holiday Shop containing rare and cosmetic items. The Winter Wanderer’s positive aspect grows in power with each Token collected and turned in.”
• Holiday villages: “The Winter Wanderer has set up four villages to facilitate the joy and cheer of Winter Convergence. Visit these villages in Everfall, Monarch’s Bluffs, Weaver’s Fen, and Brightwood to meet the Winter Wanderer and carry out his holiday quests!”
• Ice caves: “Ice Caves are appearing all over Aeternum because of the Winter Warrior’s desire for a Forever Winter. They are snowy and icy caves that the yeti use their powers to freeze up and make snow fall. The rest of Aeternum will look like these Ice Caves if the onslaught of the Warrior is not stopped!”

In addition to these, beautiful Tree’s of Light and Gleamite crystals will be popping up around much of Aeternum, giving players all-new quests to complete and lost presents to track down.

The update comes with a set of patch notes that changes many of the technical aspects of the game as well. For more on those, New World devs have posted a complete list of the December update patch notes to the game’s official site.
