Tick-tock returns after a long absence as part of a special gimmick dungeon themed around shrines dedicated to dawn and dusk, with players of any {{Vocation}} being granted access to the spell to complete the puzzles therein.  

By nature of being an MMORPG, {{X}} must have all players experiencing the flow of time at the same rate, and thus Tick-tock is limited in use. The distinction of the dungeon on a programming level is that it is loaded separately from the rest of the game world and users once the player(s) elect to complete the quest related to it, allowing for time manipulation as the area necessitates.

Tick-tock is an enemy exclusive spell that appears in the {{3DS}} version of {{XI}}. It is cast by a pallet swap of the [[Prestidigitator (Dragon Quest XI)|Prestidigitator]] found in [[Trodain]] Castle, and has no effect in battle other than wasting the monster's turn.
