Sun Exposure

Sun Exposure is a debuff inflicted during Daytime when the player is exposed to direct sunlight for too long. It has no icon, but is indicated by a ray of sunlight and a gradual brightening of the screen and finally the player going up in flames when damage starts to be taken.

Effects

• Exposure level ticks up while in sunlight and ticks down while shaded (does not reset immediately in shade) at the same rate
• Causes rapid damage over time once the maximum exposure level is reached and will cause death within seconds

• Areas in a base fully enclosed by Stone Walls and Flooring will create a room and automatically be covered with a roof.
• During travel the only countermeasure is Sun Resistance to make it easier to get from one shady area to another.

Dynamic Clouds

Some V Blood Carriers have dynamic clouds above their fighting area making it easier to fight them during daytime:

• Grayson the Armourer
• Finn the Fisherman
• Quincey the Bandit King
• Sir Erwin the Gallant Cavalier
• Terah the Geomancer
• Gaius the Cursed Champion
• Octavian the Militia Captain
• Angram the Purifier
• Mairwyn the Elementalist
• Stavros the Carver
• Talzur the Winged Horror
• Megara the Serpent Queen

Sun Resistance

The Sun Resistance rating increases the amount of time that can be spent in sunlight before damage is dealt.

Exposure time

The base exposure time before a player starts burning is 5 seconds.

The exposure time is increased by 1.5x the amount of Sun Resistance (in percent). The exact multiplier currently applied can be viewed by hovering over Sun Resistance in the resistances section of the Character menu.

Exposure damage

After a player starts burning from being exposed to sunlight for too long, they will start to take exposure damage.

The amount of damage a player takes is 20% of maximum health per second. That means it will always take 5 seconds (at full health) or less to die from exposure damage. The only way to avoid exposure damage is to avoid burning all together, which can only be delayed by increasing Sun Resistance.

Trivia

• A Server Setting called "DisconnectedSunImmunityTime" exists, which controls how long a disconnected player is immune to Sun Exposure. By default this is set to 5 minutes.
