The Enchanted Sundial skipping a day. Note the clouds and sun speeding across the top of the screen. (Click to play animation)

The Enchanted Sundial is a Hardmode furniture item that can be placed and right-clicked to advance time to 4:30 a.m. (sunrise) 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, 48 minutes in real time) have passed normally. The Enchanted Sundial is obtained from fished Wooden (0.5%, or 1 in 200, chance), Iron (1.67%, or 1 in 60, chance), or Golden (5%, or 1 in 20, chance) Crates in a Hardmode world.

The Enchanted Sundial does not turn the time to the next day immediately. It instead "fast-forwards" time, much more quickly than usual.

Notes[edit | edit source]

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.
Using the Enchanted Sundial to accelerate time will affect the Tax Collector, giving a rapid boost in collected money.
The Enchanted Sundial can be used to skip the cooldown for Angler quests or to skip a Blood Moon or Solar Eclipse.
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.
