Players must first equip the [[Royal Hourglass|Hourglass]] using the Tool Wheel. Using the [[Controls|secondary action button]], wave the [[Royal Hourglass|Hourglass]] in the air to sense for hidden treasures. A directional arc of color with sand visual effects will point towards the closest hidden treasure in the Biome, Realm, or region{{cleanup|Need to ensure it is clear that "region" means e.g. "Oasis" vs. "Glittering Dunes", not sure language is currently standardized}} (if on [[Eternity Isle]]). The directional arc will additionally indicate necessary elevation change, if relevant. The visual effects last for only a short period of time each time they are activated{{cleanup|estimate seconds}}. As the Player gets closer to the hidden treasure, the color of the arc will change from white, to blue, to gold/orange. {{cleanup|Details on actually extracting the treasure}}<!--use the indicator to determine if treasure is nearby, indicated by color and direction of the visual effects when waving the wand.--> If no more resources are available in an area<!--biome/realm/region-->, the following message will display: "There is no more treasure in this area. Look elsewhere."<!-- A FTUE --> An overlay detailing more information about Timebending displays during <!--the Story quest [[The Sands in the Hourglass]]-->relevant Story quests as the player progresses. This information can be viewed again from the [[Game Guide#Timebending|Game Guide]] after it has been viewed for the first time. | |||
