This timetable is accurate for both AM and PM times, PST.

  • In-game daylight spans from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and in-game night spans from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, each of which lasts 18 real minutes.
  • At 6:00 AM, Transformations which may be used once per in-game day will reset their timer. Using a transformation skill shortly before this time will result in it being used for the previous day, and allow you to use a transformation skill again right after it finishes.
  • At 12:00 AM, the colors of equipment sold in stores and the limited items sold by the Trade Assistant Imps will change.
    • If you have already opened the store window before 12:00 AM, you must close and reopen it.

Ticks

A view of the current and next weather conditions in the area.
An example of the alarm window.
Alarm(s) setup window.

Every five real minutes after logging in or change channels within the game, a tick occurs. At a tick, several effects occur that are listed below.

Clock

  • The in-game clock determines the Erinn time.
  • Enabling User 24-Hour Clock will change the clock time to display from 12 hour A.M./P.M. to all 24 hours.
  • Clocks can be displayed or hidden from view by clicking the Hide arrow at the bottom right of the UI and selecting "Clock" or pressing "O" (default key) on the keyboard.
  • On the left side of the clock displays the in-game weather. Clicking the button reveals a drop-down list for the next three weather forecasts and the at what time they will occur.

Alarm

  • The player can set an alarm that makes a loud beeping noise when the time reaches a certain threshold.
  • Alarms are displayed under the player's clock.
  • Only a maximum of 5 alarms can be set.
  • To set up an alarm, click the the "Add Alarm" button under the clock.
    • Alarms can be set to Erinn Time or Real Life (PST) Time.
      • Real World Time appears as blue.
      • Erinn Time appears beige.
    • Alarms can be named.

Trivia

  • All NPCs were born on Alban Eiler (Monday) when played as in Role-Playing Quests.
  • Lugh shares his name with the season Lughnasadh (Thursday). In the Irish Mythology, Lugh created that season to commemorate his foster-mother.
  • Mathematically, the world of Erinn must have 280 "days" in one year. One Earth year is equivalent to 52 Erinn years, plus one season on normal years, two seasons on leap years. Four Earth weeks short of two normal years is equivalent to one Erinn century.
  • Previously, items would lose durability each in-game tick. This was removed as a part of the Reflections Update.
