The Equatorial Sundial is a Rare trinket in ARC Raiders that exists for two reasons. It sells for a tidy sum, and it feeds one specific workshop project. Outside of that, it has no crafting use, so the only real decision is whether to pocket it or leave it behind.
Quick answer: Grab the Equatorial Sundial whenever it appears in a loot container, sell it for around 3,000, and keep three of them if you are working on the Converging Paths project.
Equatorial Sundial stats and value
This is a collectible trinket, so its main job is to pad your extraction earnings. It takes up little weight and sells for a high flat value, which makes it one of the easier high-return pickups to justify carrying.
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Category | Trinket |
| Rarity | Rare |
| Weight | 0.5 KG |
| Sell value | 3,000 |
| Recycling | Cannot be recycled |
| Salvaging | Cannot be salvaged |
| Added in | Patch 1.33.0 |
On the player marketplace, recent trades have hovered around 66 Seeds for a single unit, with a low volume of completed sales. If you would rather not deal with the marketplace, the straight sell value of 3,000 is the reliable number to plan around.
Where to find the Equatorial Sundial
The Equatorial Sundial comes from scavenging. It shows up in general loot containers rather than a fixed spawn, so there is no single guaranteed location to camp. The practical approach is to check every lootable container on your route and grab the sundial on sight.
Because it is not tied to one loot pool, a focused money run works best. Sweep loot-dense areas with plenty of containers, fill your bag with high-value items, and extract before the risk outweighs the payout. If your inventory starts to fill up, prioritize the items that pay the most per slot.
Converging Paths project requirements
The one place the sundial is more than spending money is the Converging Paths project. Stage 3 calls for three Equatorial Sundials alongside several other materials. If you intend to complete it, set aside three copies instead of selling them all.
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| ARC Performance Steel | 7 |
| Equatorial Sundial | 3 |
| Metal Brackets | 5 |
| Sextant | 4 |
This requirement sits at Stage 3 of the Converging Paths project. Once you turn in all four materials, the project advances to its next phase, which confirms that the sundials were accepted.
Should you keep or sell the Equatorial Sundial?
If you are not chasing Converging Paths, sell it. The sundial cannot be broken down for parts, so there is no benefit to hoarding extras beyond their cash value. Hold a stack of three only while the project is active, then offload the rest for the 3,000 each they are worth.
For a Rare trinket, the math is simple. Light weight, strong payout, and a single project use make the Equatorial Sundial an easy grab on any loot-focused run.
