Daytime

Daytime plays a very important role in V Rising and is a core concept of the game world.

Time and therefore Daytime is constantly moving forwards on a V Rising server, which creates Day and Night cycles and therefore alternating playstyles during these times.

During night time, players can move on the map freely and even get a Buff once in a while during Blood Moon.

During day time on the other hand, players have to be careful about where they go, as being in direct sunlight for too long creates Sun Exposure, which after a short period of time, starts to inflict high damage to the player and kills them very fast, if they don't find cover quickly.

Day and Night cycle
The cycle of day and night is visible to all players through a clock next to the mini-map and shows when day and night hours start. In-game daytime lasts from 6 AM to 9 PM, and nighttime from 9 PM to 6 AM of the next day. Every 18 days a Blood Moon event will occur during nighttime. On default (medium length and medium day / night balance) server settings, nights last for 11 minutes, 15 seconds and days last for 6 minutes, 45 seconds. The extra-polated values for short, long and very long day lengths with medium day / night balance, can be extracted from the following table (unverified ).
