Eorzea Time (ET) is the measure of in-game time provided to the player via a clock found in the "Server Info" HUD element.[1] The table below shows the conversion from Eorzea time units to real-life time units.

Eorzea Time Units Eorzea Time Sub-Units Real Time Value
1 minute 60 seconds 2 11/12 seconds
1 bell 60 minutes 2 minutes, 55 seconds
1 sun 24 bells 70 minutes
1 week 8 suns 9 hours and 20 minutes
1 moon 4 weeks 37 hours and 20 minutes
1 year[2] 12 moons 18 days and 16 hours

Eorzea Time affects the spawning of Unspoiled Nodes, and in A Realm Reborn-only affects the Sightseeing Log.[1] Timers created from the Gathering Log will automatically set themselves to one bell (hour) before the node spawns, or as described in the table, approximately 3 minutes real time. Eorzea Time can also affect the music and the lighting of the world.
