Cell Phone

See also: Guide:Crafting a Cell Phone.

The Cell Phone is an informational item. Just like the Ankh Shield, this also has a very long crafting tree which is explained here for your support. Unlike the PDA, it is not an accessory. When held in the inventory, this item displays fishing info, weather, moon phase, elevation, distance east/west, time, nearest valuable ore, player speed, current DPS, number of monsters killed, rarest nearby enemy name, and nearby enemies. It can also teleport the player home, similar to a Magic Mirror.

While the inventory is open, all information is collapsed into small icons that appear on the right side of the screen, above the player's equipment slots. Clicking those small icons toggles them on or off, allowing players to filter the information that the Cell Phone displays.

In Multiplayer, information from the Cell Phone will be shared with other nearby players.



Trivia

 * The Cell Phone's nature as a single catch-all device parallels the multifunctionality of real modern smartphones, which have largely rendered once-common appliances like watches, compasses, timers, radios, and standalone GPS units obsolete.
 * The ability to use a cell-phone to return to your spawn point, could possibly be a reference to the phrase "Phone Home", from the movie E.T.
