New Worldis celebrating its first winter holidays with a special event called theWinter Convergence Festival, which runs from December 16th to January 11th. In addition to the event, the game also introduced Winter Tokens, a special currency that allows a player to exchange them for time-sensitive, unique rewards, and the best way to earn a bunch of tokens is through knowing how and where to obtain Gleamite.
Everything You Need To Know About Gleamite
By doing the Winter Convergence Festival questline inNew World, players will eventually be tasked by the Winter Wanderer in the Winter Village to mine a fallen Gleamite crystal. Though the Winter Wanderer will mark a Gleamite Shard location on their map for the sake of convenient quest completion, it’s far from an optimal way to gather this new material.

When night falls on Aeternum, gleamite meteors may show up on the skies above, and they’re an omen for the new Gleamite Showers dynamic event. Occurring solely after nightfall and ending with the break of dawn, Gleamite Showers litter a random area in Aeternum with Gleamite Chunks, a newresource node inNew Worldthrough which players obtain Gleamite.
The showers can disperse Gleamite Chunks in several locations at once, and the locations have no discernible or predictable pattern to them. The event, which spawns at night, is impossible to miss with its dazzling display of color and the Gleamite can be found in the direction of where the meteor exploded into smaller chunks. Once players find their way to one of theselocations inNew World, they can recognize Gleamite Chunks as these tall, multi-colored crystals poking out of the ground.
After mining their fill of gleamite crystals, players can exchange them at the nearest Winter Village inside the Holiday Hut by turning in 10 Gleamite for a single Winter Token, which can later be redeemed for exclusive Winter Convergence Festival rewards.
Even though there has been astring of negativity impactingNew Worldof late, most players have been obsessed with the beauty of Gleamite Showers, recordiing several videos or taking numerous photos of their impact, and sharing them with the community on social media. The event’s simplicity and tangible rewards have also been met with equal praise, with players stating that they would love to see similar events in the future.
For those who call Aeternum their home, keeping their eyes to the sky at night will no doubt bring them a lot of joy this winter.
