Lantern Night



A Lantern Night is an event that generally occurs the evening after a boss or invasion is defeated for the first time.

During the event, Lanterns can be seen floating up into the sky from 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 able to be 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. These can be caught for easy bait.
