Enchanted Sundial (demo)

The Enchanted Sundial skipping a day. Note the clouds and sun speeding across the top of the screen.

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 usable again until 7 in-game days (2 hours and 48 minutes in real time) have passed normally. however if a naturally spawning Blood Moon or Solar Eclipse occurs It will instantly become charged. On the PC version PC version, Console version Console version, Mobile version Mobile version, and tModLoader version 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 Old Chinese version and tModLoader 1 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 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.

Notes[]

  • Although game will allow to place multiple Enchanted Sundials they will not work if more than one is present at world.
  • 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.
  • The 7-day cooldown will be instantly reset if a Blood Moon or Solar Eclipse occurs naturally, allowing the player to skip these events.
  • When the Enchanted Sundial is available for use, the dial at the top of its sprite and the circle in the middle will both glow a bright yellow.
  • The Enchanted Sundial is a mechanism that can be activated when connected to wire.
  • The Enchanted Sundial's cooldown timer is separate from the Enchanted Moondial's cooldown timer, so using one does not affect the other.

Tips[]

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.
