The Blood of Dawnwalker Time, build, and spec sheets

Fill these in before you spend a shrine segment or buy a GPU you do not need.

These pages are worksheets, not essays. The Blood of Dawnwalker is a single-player RPG with a 30-day family clock, three skill trees that refuse to share a sun, and a PC spec sheet that changed between April and August 2026. If you treat Vale Sangora like a checklist, the hourglass will eat the coronation. If you treat the skill screen like a museum, you will own a night power at noon.

Use this hub as a switchboard:

  • Time planner — Day 1–30 columns, day versus night segments, shrine tax, errand caps, coronation buffer.
  • Build planner — Four day slots and four night slots, three trees, three starter bars, the “do not buy claws at breakfast” warning.
  • System requirements — Final August 2026 targets with DLSS / FSR / XeSS Balanced, the retracted April native 4K sheet, and the console 60 FPS note.

The Builds Hub ranks what is worth a node. These tools decide when you buy it and whether your machine will hold 60.

Exploration is free. Walking Svartrau does not move the clock. Quests, shrine ranks, and other hourglass actions spend eight day segments and eight night segments per calendar day. That is 240 day units and 240 night units across the month — plenty until you treat every side job as mandatory.

How the three sheets talk to each other

A worked example, not a lore dump:

  1. On the time planner, reserve days 28–30 as a coronation buffer. Do not spend more than two segments on errands before day 10. Cap shrine leveling at one segment per calendar day in that first week.
  2. On the build planner, lock a witch-duelist day bar (Burning Blood, Ravenous Flock, Acrid Dust) and a claw night bar (Voracious Bite, Shadowstep, Piercing Shriek). You start with three equipped abilities; the fourth slot is a later column, not a day-two entitlement.
  3. Only then open Witchcraft, Swordmastery, and Vampirism to see which manuals you actually need to hunt.
  4. If the machine stutters in Laslea, use the spec sheet. Minimum 1080p30 Low is a GTX 1060 / RX 580 class card with upscalers on Balanced, 16 GB RAM, 6 GB VRAM, 60 GB SSD, Windows 10, DirectX 12. Do not quote the April native-no-upscaler 4K row that asked for an RTX 5090 — that sheet was revised.

What these tools are not

They are not a live companion app. They are not a spoiler map of every Laslea chore. They are not a promise that the 3 September 2026 build will keep every preview number. They will not play the game for you, and they will not add a second player — this is a single-player valley.

If you still need systems before you fill a cell, read getting started, the time system, combat, controls, day and night, feeding, how to play, and the map. Editions, dates, and critic notes live under release, editions, and review. Official storefronts sit on links.

Print the time table. Pencil the bar. Then spend the segment. That is the whole hub.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Do I need all three tools before I start?

No. Fill the time planner first if the hourglass scares you. Fill the build planner first if the shrine scares you. Open system requirements only if you are on PC or checking the console 60 FPS note.

Are these in-game utilities?

No. They are wiki worksheets: tables, checklists, and example budgets you copy into a notebook. The game already shows hourglass costs before you commit.

Why is there no damage calculator?

Launch-week numbers are preview kits, not a 500-hour meta. Rank abilities on the Builds Hub with caveats instead of pretending we have patch-accurate formulas.

Can I max every tree if I plan hard enough?

No. Nodes cost manuals (for hexes and steel), XP, and a time segment. Thirty days will not fund three complete trees. The planners exist to choose, not to complete.

Where do console players go?

Time and build planners are platform-agnostic. The spec page covers PC plus the day-one 60 FPS patch for PS5 and Series X (Series S is excluded).
