The Enchanted Sundial is a Hardmode furniture item that can be placed. Pressing the ⚷ Interact button on it will advance time to sunrise (4:30 AM) the following day. It has a 7-day cooldown period, so once used, it will not be useable again until 7 in-game days (2 hours and 48 minutes in real time) have passed normally. On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, the Enchanted Sundial is obtained from fished Pearlwood (0.5*1/200 (0.5%) chance), Mythril, (1.67*1/60 (1.67%) chance), and Titanium Crates (5*1/20 (5%) chance), while on the Old Chinese version and tModLoader 1.3-Legacy version, it is obtained from Wooden (0.5*1/200 (0.5%) chance), Iron (1.67*1/60 (1.67%) chance), and Golden Crates (5*1/20 (5%) 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 more quickly than usual.
Notes
- Its 7-day cooldown is shared between all Enchanted Sundials in the current world, so a second Sundial cannot be used to circumvent it.
- The chances of invasions and other events are calculated as if the time actually passed.
- In multiplayer, the Sundial will only count a cooldown day passing if there are players online when the in-game day changes.
Tips
- The Enchanted Sundial has a few noteworthy uses:
- Increasing the speed of the Tax Collector collection
- Skipping the cooldown for Angler quests
- Skipping a Blood Moon or Solar Eclipse
- Entering another Moon Phase
- On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, it is also possible to speed up time by sleeping in a Bed and in Journey mode there is an option to speed up time as well.
Trivia
- The Enchanted Sundial shares its color palette and architectural theme with much of the Skyware furniture set, though there is no direct correlation between the two.
