#FROST MOON TERRARIA GUIDE FULL#

There are also two event-exclusive styles that only appear during Frost and Pumpkin Moon, respectively. When a world is generated, one random standard moon style is assigned to it.

There are nine / three different standard styles of the moon.

A Pumpkin Moon or Frost Moon can be summoned by the player on any night. The current moon phase can be determined using the Sextant, an informational accessory which can be obtained from the Angler NPC as a fishing quest reward, or any of its upgrades.Ī Blood Moon can occur during any moon phase except for a new moon. This is important because most phase-dependent content and effects are not limited to nighttime. Therefore, a moon phase also encompasses the day preceding the night of that moon phase.

Another four nights later, after three waxing phases, the cycle ends with the return of the full moon.Įach moon phase starts at dawn (4:30 AM) and lasts until the next dawn.

The cycle begins with the full moon upon world creation, where the entire circular moon is visible, and four nights later, after three waning phases, reaches the new moon, where no moon is visible. It takes eight in-game nights for the moon to move through all of its phases. The phase of the moon affects many things, some being the shop inventory of certain NPCs, certain enemy spawn rates, and the player's Fishing Power. The current phase is indicated by the amount of the moon that is visible during the night. The moon in Terraria moves through a cycle of eight different phases, with the next phase in the cycle appearing each night. For the general cycle of time in Terraria, see Day and night cycle.
