Talk:Solar Eclipse/@comment-24051432-20131014192306

For those of you, who wants to initiate a Solar Eclipse or a Blood Moon:

1) Turn Autosave off in options

2) Enter your world again and wait until 4:00 AM, then save and quit.

3) Enter that world again, wait until its 4:30 AM. If Solar Eclipse didn't happen - close the game using Task Manager or any other way, without using save & exit option.

4) Run Terraria and enter your world again (without saving it should start from 4:00 AM again.)

Repeat this until eclipse starts.

Method works 100% - I checked and registered here just to offer it, because I tired of waiting for an eclipse myself. This works also with blood moon (you just have to save & exit from 7:00 Pm instead of 4:00 AM)

Note*: Since eclipse has a very low probability of happening even using this method can take some time, but its still WAY faster than just waiting for it.
