The Sands of Time is a non-consumable event summoning item that is used to start or end a Sandstorm while in the Desert. It is dropped by Scarabeus at a 1/4 (25%) chance.

Tips

This is a very good item to have early on, where sandstorms in deserts are a prominent problem for exploration.
- It is also good during Hardmode, when players would want to farm for Forbidden Fragments and other sandstorm-related items.

1.4.3:
- Resprited.
- Renamed from "Sandglobe" to "Sands of Time".
- Now uses mana.
