Guild Wars 2

Is there any way to see how long it is going to be until dusk/dawn?

Standing in one spot waiting for an event is not fun if it takes long.

full cycle is 2 hours. Daytime is 70 minutes, night is 40 minutes, twilight time is 5 minutes (two times). So the cycle repeats every two hours.

If you are trying to do secrets in the swamp event in Queensdale (the shadow behemoth), there where rumours it triggers at dusk, but due to the fact that people have waited for over 6 hours, I think this is a myth that is busted. The trigger for that event is currently unknown.

The trigger is an NPC on a certain timer that when you do her kill event after the timer has run its course, it’ll activate.

@EndlessDreamer that is also a myth that has been tested and declared to be not the case. Several sources on the wiki has agreed on the talk page and one descriped it the best:
‘You can speak to her at any moment, and all it does is cause a Veteran Fleshreaver to appear. I don’t think there’s a connection. Someone probably just happened to talk to her when the event restarted.’ ( the npc this person mentioned is Taryn, who is prolly the person you are referring to).

I have consulted many sources, and tried myself for bout 9 hours to find out what the trigger is (timed, dusk, talk to npc, etc) but no success. If you have good proof (like adifferent npc you need to tal kto, and you have done it 5-10 times and evrytime it resulted in the event chain) pls let me know.

Speculating on the triggers for the swamp event are missing the topic of the thread.

Maybe the event in question is in a graveyard. Maybe it’s something else. Whatever the specific event may be, the question remains. Can you determine where in the day/night cycle you are?

As far as I know, the answer is no. We know it’s a short period, as pointed out already, but whether it’s just a few minutes before dawn or a few minutes after sunset, it’s impossible to tell unless you were there for the transition and noticed it.

Thank you. Yes, it was the graveyard and it took considerable more than an hour. but got it done.

I do wish there was a Tyrian time in game though.
