The Biomes/Weather/Time system is comprised of a pack of unique events that visually apply to the map and affect the chance of obtaining exclusive auras for that biome. The system operates similarly to the rolling system used by players to acquire auras, but instead, it is rolled every second. For instance, if the Starfall biome has a 1 in 7,500 chance of appearing, then every second, the system will "roll" to determine if the Starfall biome should appear or not.

Currently, there are 6 biomes as of Era 7 (Normal, Hell, Starfall, Corruption, Null and Glitched) and 3 weathers (Windy, Snowy, and Rainy) in the game. Time is not included due to it being its own separate system.

When a biome or weather spawns, players will be alerted in the chat, notifying them about which biome has spawned.

Breakthrough
Most auras (excluding Glitch & Oppression due to them being glitched biome exclusives) can also be obtained outside of their natural biome through a system known as breakthrough. Each biome has a respective multiplier, which increases the rarity of biome auras if their native biome is present. For example, rolling an Abyssal Hunter with Rainy active would have its rarity at 1/100,000,000, while its rarity in any other biome is increased to 1/400,000,000. The biome multipliers are 3x for Windy, 3x for Snowy, 4x for Rainy, 5x for Corruption, 6x for Hell, 10x for Starfall, 1000x for Null, and none for Glitch (as it reunites every multiplier from every event). In Era 7, the definition of "breakthrough" was changed so that breakthroughs are now getting auras at a lower chance inside a specific biome.

Trivia

 * Some Daily Quests require encountering a certain biome/weather to complete, such as the Null biome.
 * These can only be completed if the player witnesses the map change to the biome specified, so joining a server with the biome won't count.
 * Discovering the Glitch biome for the first time will grant the player a badge, and an achievement worth 10,101 coins as well as unlocking the "Something went wrong" Leaderboard Title in the player list.
 * A common misconception is that the Null biome is 1/13,333 per biome change. However, the correct chance is actually 1/13,333 per second.
 * There are myths regarding specific weathers bringing extra luck, which is completely false.
 * Null has a glitch where it can sometimes turn yellow for a few seconds, then turn back to normal. When this happens, the community refers to it as "pee biome".
 * When in Hell, the Volcanic Device flames are light purple.
 * Starfall is the only biome that has two 1/100M+ auras, with it having Starscourge : Radiant and Gargantua as native auras.
 * The first ever Glitch biome recorded can be found here.
