The Moon Charm is a Hardmode Accessory that, when equipped during night time, turns the player into a werewolf, and applies the Werewolf buff. The item is a rare drop from the Werewolf enemy. The resulting werewolf looks slightly different in color than the enemy. Players with this item equipped during a full moon can still be attacked by other Werewolves.

Werewolf form.

The buff provides these bonuses:

• +2% Melee critical hit chance
• +5.1% Melee damage
• +5.1% Melee speed
• +5% Movement speed
• +3 Defense
• Slightly increased jump height and jump speed
• +0.5 HP regeneration per second (Like the Band of Regeneration)

Tips

• The Moon Charm is a reasonably good accessory for melee fighters. Non-melee characters shouldn't bother with it, though Mages and Rangers interested in the effects of the Neptune's Shell might consider using a Moon Shell instead (which combines the effects of the Moon Charm with the Merfolk transformation) if they want the aesthetics that come from the charm while gaining some level of usefulness from it.

• The Moon Charm is very useful when fighting bosses as most bosses can only be summoned during the night. This means that you gain all the benefits of the accessory throughout the entire fight.

Notes

• The Merfolk buff (granted by Neptune's Shell) overrides the Werewolf buff, replacing the graphics and cancelling the bonuses granted by the Moon Charm during nighttime.
• Dyes on armor will also affect the color of the werewolf until unequipped.
• Night begins at 7:30 p.m. and ends at 4:30 a.m.
• Armor will be hidden while the Werewolf buff is active, but will still grant its effects. Accessories will remain visible. Dyes also affect the werewolf's fur color.
• The Moon Charm cannot be equipped in the vanity slot to gain the appearance of a werewolf at night. The appearance comes from the "Werewolf" buff, not the accessory.
