How it works

Ghast Harness enchants a ghast harness. Right-click with it to spend a charge and call a glowing Happy Ghast wearing that harness's colour. A Happy Ghast answers the harness (3, 60s). The vanilla harness stays in your hand.

The summoned ghast stays for a minute, then fades. The summoned Happy Ghast fades as the harness's clock runs out. While it is aloft, using the harness again brings it back to you without spending a charge. The Happy Ghast wheels back to you.

Good to know

• A summoned Happy Ghast cannot take a Drydock berth.
• A Tier 2 or higher Dispel dismisses it.
• Server owners can change how long it stays with duration-ticks.
