Time

Day/Night/Season Cycle
FFO uses a day/night cycle. The time and date can be checked by using the buttons on the bottom right of the HUD. Game time is 6x real world time. Moon phases at night time cycle as well as the season, allowing for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Although the seasonal change is mostly aesthetic, the time impacts combat significantly.

Monsters become more difficult at night time, and different monsters will spawn at night time as well. However, with these more difficult monsters come better rewards.

If you are traveling at night time, you can use a torch to illuminate the area around you. This is especially recommended around new moons, when the outdoors are excessively dark.
