New World: Patch Notes from 7.12. – the Winter Convergence 2022 and beyond!
Winter Convergence has begun in New World, the Amazon MMORPG’s Christmas celebration. Accordingly, you may set out again for the winter villages of Everfall, Pride Rock, Webermoor, and Lightwood to complete festive quests for the Winter Wanderer. In return, you’ll receive Winter Tokens, which you can use to unlock exclusive Winter Convergence rewards – special skins, emotes, housing decorations, and more! A new world boss has also been added this year, designed for 20+ players. The so-called Winter Warrior can be found in the Deep Canyon, Lightwood, Edenshire, Equal Measure and in the Brimstone Sands. Defeat him for more special rewards.
The Winter Convergence update will be accompanied by many more adjustments, bug fixes, feature updates, and even new mutant expeditions. We have the full patch notes for you below!
New World: Winter Convergence Patch 2022 Highlights
SPOTLIGHT
NEW MUTANT EXPEDITIONS – STARSTONE CENTRAL MOUNTAINS/AMRHEIN MASH-UP
This new version of Starstone Barrow includes a special look. Players will relive parts of the Amrhein Expedition and meet both the intrepid Simon Gray and Foreman Nakashima. Face the expedition to learn more.
CRAFTING AND REFINING STATION RANK CHANGES
We’re making two big changes to improve trading skill upgrades:

- Rank 3 = 20% discount.
- Rank 4 = 30% discount.
- Rank 5 = 45% discount.
- Certain plans are no longer locked behind ranks:
- crafting stations
- Most procedural weapon and armor schematics.
- Arcanum Archives – Potions for stats (health, mana, regeneration, and focus) and elemental plans.
- Kitchen – Health and mana food
- finishing stations
- Rank 3 unlocks – plan level is less than or equal to 100 and not legendary.
- Rank 4 unlocks – plan level is 150 and not legendary.
- Rank 5 unlocks – plan level is 200 or legendary at any plan level.
- Stonemasonry – Each Gemcutter is no longer locked, merging gems remains locked behind appropriate ranks.

JOIN COMPANIES WITHOUT A FACTION
Players no longer need to belong to a faction to join a company, but companies still need to declare a faction. Members who do not belong to any faction cannot become a governor or participate in wars.
COUNTER OF ACTIVE LOBBIES IN GROUP SEARCH
Players can now see how many lobbies are active for each expedition, both in the map tooltip and on the expedition access screen.
MITIGATION POSTBOX COMPANIES
We will be introducing the following changes to make letterbox companies less effective when owning multiple territories:
- Daily War Limit
- Players have a limit of 1 defensive war and 1 offensive war per world (resets daily at 5:00 AM server time). These limits apply to both types even if you have two different characters in the same world.
- War Player List Restrictions
- Participating companies can only recruit a limited number of mercenaries.
- Assault Companies: Up to 25 mercenaries.
- Defense Companies: Up to 10 mercenaries.
- The remaining seats are reserved for company members.
- Participating companies can only recruit a limited number of mercenaries.
- Company change cooldowns
- When a player leaves a company, a 72-hour cooldown begins for participating in a defensive war and gaining influence for any company eligible for a declaration of war. The cooldown begins as soon as a player leaves the company. Any influence earned continues to count towards the player’s faction.
- Server broadcast cooldown
- We have increased the cooldown for all server broadcasts from 3 days to 30 days.
NEW HEART RUNE: BALL BOMB
Use the new Bile Bomb Heart Rune to spew projectiles. On impact, she creates a diseased cloud that infects targets with sustained damage over time and reduced healing. On direct hits, the cloud also sticks to enemies and infects their allies if they get too close. This makes the Bile Bomb particularly effective in group fights and when taking down enemies who are trying to heal. Complete the new Mutated Starstone Barrows Expedition for a chance at your very own Gall Bomb Heart Rune!
