Black Desert timers · SEA

Black Desert runs its own clock. One complete in-game day takes 4 real hours, so the sun rises and sets several times over an evening's play.

Night runs from 22:00 to 7:00 on the in-game clock. It matters mechanically: some monsters change behaviour, some vendors only appear after dark, and a few quests are night-only.

The clock does not tick evenly. Those nine in-game hours of darkness take only 40 real minutes — the remaining 200 minutes of every cycle are daylight. So night comes round every four hours and is gone quickly; the countdown above is the one to watch.

The countdowns above are computed from an absolute UTC instant and corrected for your device's clock, so they stay right regardless of what timezone you are in or whether your machine's time is accurate.
