A Mystic Hourglass is a special item given to subscribers who maintain a 3-month consecutive subscription.
Mysterious Time Travelers
The Mystic Hourglass summons the Mysterious Time Travelers who will allow the player to select a Mystery Item set from previous months, pets and mounts from previous events, or an exclusive future Mystery Item, such as the Steampunk Standard Set which will be widely available in the year 3015.
The Mystic Hourglass is found in the Special Items section of the player's Inventory page.
A Mystic Hourglass is awarded when a player has a subscription for 3 consecutive months. This can be accomplished through either recurring or block subscriptions. 3-month consecutive subscriptions also increase the player's gold gem cap.
Please note that the subscription months MUST be consecutive. If you cancel your subscription, the month count drops back to zero.
| Subscription Type | Mystic Hourglasses | Gold Gem Cap | When Received |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-month recurring | 1 | +5 | after 3 consecutive months |
| 3-month block, gift or recurring | 1 | +5 | immediately after purchase |
| 6-month block, gift or recurring | 2 | +10 | immediately after purchase |
| 12-month block, gift or recurring | 4 | +20 | immediately after purchase |
