Season 1: Crimson Frost

Winter has reached the northern pass, and the Rimeveil Regent has sealed it in ice. Season 1: Crimson Frost runs from 11 Nov 2026 to 8 Feb 2027: four story events back to back, hunting modes that are open every day, and a full competitive season for clans, crews and Shadow War.

All times are WIB (UTC+7). The game server clock runs on UTC+8, one hour ahead.

Story events

Siege of the Rimeveil Citadel

Ashen Requiem

From 25 Nov to 22 Dec 2026. The cracked bell of the Ashen Bell monastery is ringing again. Silence it.

Night of Hollow Masks

Open every day, all season

These open at midnight on Wednesday 11 November, game server time (23:00 WIB on Tuesday 10 November), and stay open all season.

• Rimebound Hunt: A different beast stalks the frozen lake every day of the week. Hunt it for Rime Bones and Frostheart Cores; the Friday and Sunday apex beasts also carry Eternal Ember Cores.
• Wyrmbind Expedition: The first wardens bound five wyrms under the northern glaciers with seven sigils each. The bindings are failing. Gather the sigils, open each circle, bind the wyrm again before it wakes fully, and take its hatchling as proof.
• Wyrm Shrine: Offer Wyrm Marks at the shrine of the first wardens for hatchlings, sigil caches and the Wyrmfang Rage kinjutsu.
• Warden's Writ Exchange: The Lodge pays its hunters in writs, stamped with the warden's seal. Trade them for coin, experience and training.
• Frost Lantern Draw: Lantern tokens are hung at the Lodge shrine each evening; whoever draws one by first light keeps what is written on it.
• Frostbound Hunting Grounds: Track the frost beasts of the hunting grounds for materials, gold and Warden's Writs.
• Frostwatch Hunting Lodge: Five zones of bosses to hunt, and a forge that turns their materials into Season 1 gear.
• Crimson Frost Expedition: Twelve special missions in three acts in the Mission Room, each act ending with a boss.

Competitive seasons

Clan, crew and Shadow War rankings are frozen when the season closes, and the season rewards arrive in your in-game mailbox. The Siege of the Seven Holds runs in two phases: take a hold in Phase 1, which ends Fri 25 Dec 2026, 22:59, then keep it until the season closes.

The Crimson Frost packages in the store are on sale until 31 January 2027, 23:59 WIB. Every event, boss and reward is also on the Crimson Frost season page.
