Enchanted Sundial



The Enchanted Sundial is a Hardmode furniture item that can be placed. Pressing the button on it will advance time to sunrise (4:30AM) the following day. It has a 7-day cooldown period, so once used, it will not be usable again until 7 in-game days (2 hours and 48 minutes in real time) have passed normally. It will instantly become charged however if a naturally spawning Blood Moon or Solar Eclipse occurs. On the, the Enchanted Sundial is obtained from fished Pearlwood ( chance), Mythril, ( chance), and Titanium Crates ( chance), while on the , it is obtained from Wooden ( chance), Iron ( chance), and Golden Crates ( chance) during Hardmode.

The Enchanted Sundial does not turn the time to the next day immediately. It instead "fast-forwards" time, causing it to pass 60 times faster than usual (1 hour of in-game time, which would usually take 1 minute of real-life time, takes only 1 second while the Enchanted Sundial is active). Sleeping in a Bed won't make time pass faster while the Enchanted Sundial is active. The sundial glows to indicate when it's ready to be used.
