I'm trying to compile just something to keep these all straight in my head. Additions, corrections and clarifications welcome.

My point of reference: Pacific Time
Play on: West Coast Server, Sanctuary
Coordinated Universal Time is 7 hours ahead of Pacific Time


Clocks
 - PW's day/night cycle - located with mini-map menu bar
- Local Time - in the OS taskbar
- Server Time - visible in event calender (and boutique auction??)
- UTC - Coordinated Universal - outside sources (i.e google time utc to pst)
- Forum time ??? -not displayed save on timestamps and 'last visited'

Schedule
EXCLUDES quests you must pick up, i.e Crazy Stones, bh, lucids, etc.
EXCLUDES event quests listed in Event Calender, like Celestial Tigers
EXCLUDES non-returning, or seasonal events. (i.e. Anniversary)


Server Midnight:
- Reset Earning Time
- Daily login (Sign-In)
- Daily Roll Call activateable
- Cube of Fate Reset
- Nuema Boss List Reset
- FRIDAY 2400 - Nuema Count Resets

Server Noon:
- Realm of Reflection, duration resets

UTC Midnight, 5:00pm 1700 pst
- Meridian resets
- Hyper Stones reset

UTC 600, 11:00pm 2300 pst
- Tuesdays only - Maintenence/Update starts


Need to look up:
-Nuema when list regenerates and when on Sunday the count resets
-Rare spawn world bosses, their times. May not include this.




Random In-Game Events

- Wraith Attacks ??? Not sure these still happen
- Drake in Primal World ??? I think it's random, never done it.



Again additions, suggestions, corrections and clarifications welcome.

    Hypers reset at the same time as meridian.

    Neuma list resets at midnight server time (I'm pretty sure? I don't do it until mid day).

    Neuma count resets on Friday night/Saturday morning, that midnight server time.

    World bosses spawn immediately after maint, and have a respawn time on the order of days after they are killed (this time depends on the boss).

    Most dailies restart at midnight server time; this includes pv, crazy stone, bh, primals, FSP, etc. Some quests state that you should make sure to wait 24 hours (like cube) before trying again, but it's just to make sure you wait until after midnight. -Note: Technically things like lucid reset at midnight, but they're only available to be picked up during a certain time of day.

    PW's internal day night cycle doesn't seem to do anything (or at least nothing too important?).


    If any of these are incorrect, someone please let me know b:victory

    Heya Kossy! I thought I'd noticed the Nuema week reset Sunday/Monday - so it is Friday/Saturday? How miserable tht the PW week starts with a break then 5 days of work, bleh.


    @DeadSlice
    Thank You so very much! I'll get those edited in if you don't mind to the main post when I've time to sit down and format it.

    And I've seen one instance where the ingame day-night cycle was relevant. The Event that wasn't supposed to run back in Feb/March - the Magpie/Bridge of Birds event, the basic title/badge quest could only be done when it was dark out.

    The ingame thing isn't particularly useful. But I wanted a thurough reference for things not in the event Calendar.
