Upgrading the Royal Hourglass

The first order of business is upgrading your Royal Hourglass to Level 1, if it’s not already there.

Only a Royal Hourglass at Level 1 or above will be able to detect the parts needed to make the Ancient Gardener.

Upgrading the level of your Royal Hourglass is done at any Timebending Table. “All” it takes to get it to Level 1 is 5000 Mist.

Quest Task: Upgrade your Hourglass to level 1 to be able to find and craft more treasures.

Pro Tip: For information on how to acquire Mist, check out our guide Gathering Mist – Eternity Isle Currency.
