Slowing Time?

[dbrunk]

I saw this idea brought up in this thread, I'm new to these forums and thought it was a good idea to share.

What about equipping the pocket watch that is currently dropped from digging graves into the middle (armor/backpack/amulet) slot and that will slow down in game time periodically. Instead of the day ticking away at 1 interval while the pocket watch is equipped the day ticks away at (.5) half the speed for the duration of the pocket watch.

I envision the pocket watch having a percentage durability similar to the torch, so it cant be over used but rather be used in those dire times that your almost back to camp and need just a few more seconds to get a fire going...etc. I've found myself in a few predicaments that a few extra seconds would have been life saving.

I also think it could be craft-able, its recipe found in the "magic" category (as it slows time/extends a day) and it would be made of something like gold x4 (because of its rarity), gnome x1 (because their magical), beefalo wool x2 (because of their slow movements).

That is probably a horrible combination lol, but i tried. So let me hear what you guys think about the idea or what items you would use to craft it. I don't even know if something like this is feasible, but its just an idea.
