# Game clock

A day/night widget. The game clock, also known as the server cycle, is the fundamental unit of time used in RuneScape: Dragonwilds, where one minute outside of the client is equal to 1 hour in-game. All actions that require server processing are governed by this value. Purely client-side actions, such as opening the pause screen whilst on a solo world and in the character creation screen, are processed separately and thus are unaffected by the game's internal clock. Each day/night cycle in the game, without pausing, lasts 24 minutes: roughly 19 minutes of day and 5 minutes of night.
