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 ⚷ Open / Activate 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. It 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).

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.

The Enchanted Moondial is its night counterpart, allowing the player to advance time to dusk (7:30 PM) of the current or following day.

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.
• 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.
  • This effect gives off light, but it does not count as a light source for housing.
• 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

• 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
  • Skipping a boss for one night after its announcement, such as the mechanical bosses
  • Entering another moon phase
• Alternative methods to accelerate time are sleeping in a Bed and the Power Menu in Journey Mode.

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.
