What is the Disney Dreamlight Valley Royal Hourglass for?

Finding treasures lost in time

THE royal hourglass Now in your possession, you can use it in different ways. Its primary functionality is to find treasures lost in time. To do this, you need to press the action button (X, or other) to reveal a arc-shaped wavewhich will tell you the direction in which the lost item is located.

It will not only show you the path to follow on the horizontal plane, but also on the vertical plane, since it will tilt up or down depending on the position of the treasure. In addition, its color will allow you to determine the proximity of the object : the arc of a circle is blue when you are far away, YELLOW when you get closer, and orange when you are close.

Once the location of the treasure is found, you will need to press the action button repeatedly, and as quickly as possible, to pull the object through time. Note that in addition to being able to find treasures on the Island of Eternityyou can also look for some in your valley and even in the Realms of the Castle of Dreams !

Exploring Time Rifts

Once you have completed the quest Sand in the hourglass of Jafaryou will have access to temporal rifts. They appear as shiny spheres in the different biomes, and you must use your royal hourglass on them to open them. A circular area will then appear, inside which you can search for treasures continually during a limited time.

Depending on your speed, you can find up to 6 treasures in the same fault. Note, however, that if you leave the radius of the fault while the timer is still active, it will disappear completely. We therefore advise you to remove any objects that could be in your way. before opening a rift. And don't forget to tour the different biomes in your valley, because temporal rifts can appear there too!

Eliminate swirling sands

Like your valley, the Island of Eternity is littered with path-blocking elements that will need to be removed using your tools. Among them, we find in particular the swirling sandswhich you can withdraw thanks to your royal hourglass.

It exists 2 variations of swirling sands : young and old. You can get rid of the first ones from the start, but the larger ones will require a Hourglass Potion for Great Whirling Sandswhich you can craft at a Time Bending Table as part of the quest Village project: Timeless tools of Merlin.

Improve your hourglass in Disney Dreamlight Valley

In addition to potions, it is possible to improve your royal hourglass directly to a time curve table. Initially, your hourglass will be at level 0which will certainly allow you to eliminate the small swirling sands and find level 0 treasuresbut you will quickly realize that you are missing out on many time bending resources. Your hourglass has 4 levelseach unlocking pieces and time bending recipes additional.

To improve your royal hourglassyou will only need Hazethe equivalent of Dreamlight on the Island of Eternity :

• Level 1 : it's necessary 5000 Mist to reach this level.
• Level 2 : it's necessary 10,000 Mist to reach this level.
• Level 3: it's necessary 15,000 Mist to reach this level.
• Level 4: it's necessary 20,000 Mist to reach this level.

You can get Haze by removing path-blocking elements such as fragments of destiny and the swirling sandslooking for treasuresby carrying out Mist Missions, and by completing quests related to the DLC. You will need a lot of Haze to progress on the Island of Eternityso don't skimp on using your royal hourglass !

Transmutation in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Since the launch of Act II of the DLC, it is now possible to raise the royal hourglass to the level 4but also to benefit from a new functionality at the time curve table. it's about the Transmutationwhich allows you to to recycle time bending coins, gifts, and fragments by choosing the option Dismantle to obtain dust of different colors. It is this dust coupled with haze which will allow you to transmute the resources you are missing.

For example, if you have a lot of piano legs when you have already made a tavern pianoand you need pieces of tapestry to make the Highland family tapestryyou can dismantle your piano legs to recover the golden dust. You can then transmute it into pieces of tapestryprovided there is enough mist.

You can transmute almost every time bending item in the game this way provided you have found some at least one copywith the exception of sparkles which can only be obtained by searching in the Kingdoms.
