Ground

A diseased basin of fumes where a collapsed ancient node leaks corrupting energy through glacial cracks. The ice here is black-veined and the mist causes rapid cellular decay in unprotected travelers. Blight-adapted fauna roam in clusters.

Settlements

Name Type Population Controlling faction
Blightmist Settlement Faction Outpost 1500 F08 Frosthold Vigil
Black Vein Fields primary N/A F08 Frosthold Vigil
Blight Hollow secondary N/A F08 Frosthold Vigil

Settlement pages: Black Vein Fields, Blight Hollow, Blightmist Settlement. Settlement rows on the faction civilization table for this biome also have pages: Blightrim Watch. All settlements: Settlements.

Factions present

Faction Where recorded
F08 Frosthold Vigil Home faction of this biome. Controlling faction on every recorded settlement row.
F11 Verdant Deep Covenant All seven NPC rows.

NPCs here from other factions: F11 Verdant Deep Covenant (7 NPC rows). An NPC can belong to any faction and live or work in a settlement controlled by another faction.

The faction named as starting control in the header holds the biome at the start. Control can change during play, and quests follow whoever controls the biome at the time.

Signature, primary, secondary, and minerals

These rows are recorded on the B016 resource table and were not in the gatherable list above.

ID Name Type Rarity
SIG-016 Void Mist Resin SIGNATURE Rare–Legendary
PRI-016 Blight Crystal PRIMARY Uncommon–Rare
SEC-016 Corrupted Ice Core SECONDARY Common–Uncommon
MIN-COM-BLI Blightite Common Mineral Common
MIN-COM-VOI Void Stone Common Mineral Common

MIN-RARE-BLI Blight Glass Rare Mineral Rare

Harvest

The harvestable index records counts for biome 016 only: flora 4, ore 3, trees 3, total 10. That index does not name the rows, so those counts are not assigned to names here.

Named flora recorded for Blightmist Crater:

ID Name Harvestable
FLORA-ICEW-016 Icewort Yes
FLORA-GLAC-016 Glacialbloom Yes
FLORA-ICE -016 Ice Crystal Moss No
FLORA-BLIG-016 Blight Lichen No
FLORA-GLAC-016 Glacial Spore No
FLORA-FROS-016 Frost Crystal Plant No
FLORA-CAVE-016 Cave Liverwort No
FLORA-ICE -016 Ice Algae Yes

Three named flora rows are marked harvestable. That does not match the harvestable index count of 4. Duplicate flora ids are left as separate recorded rows. Both figures are left as recorded. The ecological-role cell says PROTECTED SPECIES on Ice Crystal Moss, Blight Lichen, Glacial Spore, Frost Crystal Plant, and Cave Liverwort.

Not recorded: a named tree list, and a named ore list that matches the index counts of 3 and 3.

Deep zone

Field Value
Deep zone Deep Blightmist — Crater Core
Layout Glacial Crevasse Descent
Max players 6
Lockout hours 72
Boss name Gloomclaw — Deep Form
Ground note The Crater Core has never been accessible to surface explorers. The Deep Zone system reveals what the biome contains at its most dangerous depth.

Boss

Field Value
Boss Gloomclaw, Ancient of Biome 016
Difficulty T3_Heroic
Recommended party 4
Damage type Physical
Arena {'location': 'Black Vein Fields', 'description': "The boss encounter takes place in the heart of Blightmist Crater's most extreme terrain feature. The arena is shaped by polar glacial conditions — no neutral ground exists. In 0.68g, player jump arcs extend 47% further than Earth-equivalent, and boss knockback sends players 35% further than expected.", 'arena_size_m': 108, 'special_terrain': 'Blight-corrupted glacier crater', 'hazard_active': 'Blight Corruption'}
Ground blurb The Arctic Prowler the Ancient is the apex expression of Blightmist Crater's ecosystem — a creature that has been shaped by polar glacial conditions across centuries of adaptation in 0.68g. It is not simply dangerous. It is what Blightmist Crater would be if the biome could choose to fight.

Weather

The atmosphere row records weather patterns Blight Mist, Corruption Rain, and Void. Those three names are not rows in the weather table. Six weather rows are recorded for this biome.

ID Name Code Recorded effect
WX-016-STORM Storm STORM Severe visibility reduction. Player movement restricted. Pack predators shelter. Ambush predators peak activity.
WX-016-ASH Ashfall ASH Reduces visibility. Ash-adapted creatures +15% aggro. Node guardian activity increases. Void Mist Resin harvest modified.
WX-016-SNOW Cold Event SNOW Winter only. Fauna density minimum. Node guardians reduced patrol. Resource yield -20% all types.
WX-016-ANY Any Weather ANY Weather-independent spawn — present in all conditions.
WX-016-RAIN Rain/Mist RAIN Rare moisture event. Suppresses primary hazard temporarily. Most comfortable traversal conditions.
WX-016-CLEAR Clear Sky CLEAR Maximum K3V amber light. Visibility maximum. Best navigation conditions. Standard resource yields.

Spawn entries recorded on those rows: Storm 9, Ashfall 13, Cold Event 14, Any Weather 10, Rain/Mist 13, Clear Sky 11. Night-multiplier entries above 2.0 recorded on those rows: Storm 1, Ashfall 2, Cold Event 3, Any Weather 1, Rain/Mist 3, Clear Sky 1.

Mobs

Seven named mobs are recorded. One further row records 63 additional spawn-table entries that are not named. Those 63 are not listed as species here. That summary row records 10 corrupted variants and 0 event overrides. Its weather distribution cells are all zero. Gloomclaw has archetype Node Guardian but the node-guardian cell reads False. Both are left as recorded.

ID Name Archetype HP Creature ID Node guardian
MOB-016-01 Gloomfen Large Herbivore 105 CR01051 False
MOB-016-02 Darkdelta Swift Scout 56 CR01052 False

The node-network file records a guardian name string on each of these eight nodes. Those strings are not rows in the named mob list above. The biome file, used in this table, records no guardian on the two positive nodes and a guardian present on the six negative nodes. Both records are left as recorded.

World events

Three world events are recorded. Where the duration cell and the notes cell disagree, both figures are left as recorded. The biome-pack names and the world-event master names disagree. Both name sets are left as recorded.
