The White Flame of Fate is obtained by dying to a lightning strike. Lightning can kill Skeletons and any Animals. Therefore, a crew must be very careful of sailing through a storm with these on-board. Additionally, lightning will blow up any Gunpowder Barrels it comes in contact with. Lightning can strike through the hull of a ship, meaning that a player swimming under a ship or standing inside a ship can still be hit. A player is also much more likely to be struck when holding a Cutlass. Lightning can be found inside a storm, striking down from the sky dealing around 20 damage to any player hit, or 70 damage if a Cutlass is equipped. The shorelines of islands, and the vicinity of Shipwrecks and Seaposts in storms have calmer waters and do not cause damage to a ship's hull, making islands within storms ideal for fishing up Stormfish. Strong waves also deal damage to any Rowboats in the water. Sailing in Heavy Storms can be dangerous as the strong waves will cause holes in the hull of the ship. Stormfish can only be caught in a Heavy Storm, the ringing bell as an indicator for this can be helpful.

Rainwater will start filling the Ship at a faster rate at this point. Due to the spin of the wheel, an un-anchored ship in a Storm will spin around. The Wheel of the ship will start pulling towards one side or another, requiring someone to keep it steady while sailing. The ship's bell will start ringing uncontrollably in the wind, and any Compass will start spinning around wildly.

The Heavy Storm inside is where the weather is the most intense, indicated by a pitch black cloud above the player. The storm cloud will also darken the surroundings. The Light Storm at its outer edges is indicated by light rain that will slowly start filling up your ship with rainwater. Its movement follows a set, looping path around the map, taking approximately 250 in-game days (4 days, 4 hours real time) to complete a cycle and is synchronised across all servers.Ī storm's weather intensity varies from a Light Storm at its edges, to a Heavy Storm at its centre. It does not travel or spawn within The Devil's Roar. The Storm always moves on a path independent from the direction of the Wind, and travels only within The Wilds, The Ancient Isles and The Shores of Plenty.
