What is the Moon Phase Instrument in Terraria?

In the Terraria game, the moon phase instrument is a sextant. The way to obtain it is that after the player completes the fishing task of the fisherman NPC, there will be a certain probability that it will be rewarded to the player.

In addition, if the player already has a Moon Phase Instrument in his inventory or any portable storage, the Fisherman will not be sent to the player as a reward. However, if the player has a Fisherman's Pocket in his inventory If the treasure book, weather radio and moon phase instrument are made into a fish finder, personal digital assistant or mobile phone, then the fisherman will give the player the moon phase instrument repeatedly.

Moon phase mechanism

The moon in Terraria has eight different moon phases as a cycle, and the corresponding moon phase will appear every night. The visible part of the moon each night represents the current moon phase, which will affect the goods sold by certain NPCs and the spawn rate of certain monsters. The first night of every newly generated world must be a full moon.

The moon in the game only needs eight nights in the game to complete one cycle. The different moon phases include the full moon, when the entire moon is visible, and the new moon, four nights later when the entire moon is not visible. In four nights, the full moon will appear again.

According to the time operation in Terraria, the length of the night is nine minutes in real time, from 7:30 pm to 4:30 am in game time.

With the exception of the new moon, the blood moon can occur during any lunar phase; the pumpkin moon and frost moon can be summoned by the player at any night.
