====<big>Wetness</big>==== The overall level of water saturation affects a character's clothing and possessions. Characters get wet when they are exposed to rain or when entering a body of water. As a character's level of wetness rises, a status indicator in the HUD appears to warn you of your character and your items being wet. After leaving the body of water or getting out of the rain, the character's level of wetness will decrease gradually until they are completely dry. A character's level of wetness has no direct effect on their health, instead, it affects [[clothing]] by drastically reducing its heat insulation value as well as [[equipment]] by making saturated items heavier (thus reducing maximum [[stamina]]). If a character has gotten wet, there are a few options for getting dry again. * '''Run around for a while.''' If you keep moving, especially at a quick pace, you will "air dry" over time. *'''Wring out your clothes.''' If you open the inventory screen and drag wet clothing to your hands you will have the option to wring them out (twist them to get the water out). Each spin of the action timer equates to a reduction in one level of wetness (Drenched -> Soaked -> Wet -> Damp), dramatically speeding up the drying process. Wringing does not progress past damp. *'''Sit next to a [[fireplace]].''' This is by far the most effective method. Placing wet clothes near a fire will also dry them.
