Lantern Night



The Lantern Night is a peaceful event that generally occurs the night after a boss or invasion has been defeated for the first time.

During the event, many lanterns can be seen floating up into the sky in the background. During a Lantern Night, the player will have a flat +0.3 increase to their luck stat, and the Party Girl will sell the Release Lantern. Additionally, many items will be worth more when sold to NPCs, with some items capable of being sold for more than double their normal price.

If a boss is summoned during the event, it will stop, and will not continue even after the boss despawns.

In addition, Enchanted Nightcrawlers may spawn naturally if it is also a Meteor Shower. These can be caught for easy bait.
