AURORA BOREALIS
Green bands over Heartopia during Winter Frost — brief, cosmetic, and the way into the Aurora Banquet.
Overview
The aurora is a rare Winter Frost weather event. The clouds take on a purple tint first, then the green bands appear. It has no shop or rewards of its own — it is cosmetic — but it is the prerequisite for the Aurora Banquet, a time-limited social event.
If You Only Have 10 Minutes
- Only look for it during the Winter Frost season — it does not appear outside it.
- Open Watch → Forecast and look for the aurora icon.
- Be in position before 18:00 server time: that is when it starts, and it lasts only a few minutes.
- Watch the clouds for a purple tint — the green bands follow it.
Key Activities
Check the Forecast
The aurora icon in Watch → Forecast is the only reliable warning you will get.
Find an Open Sky
A wide, unobstructed view helps. Lakeside spots around Hot Spring Mountain are the usual recommendation.
Join the Aurora Banquet
The aurora itself gives nothing, but it gates the Banquet, which carries some of the season's rarest rewards.
