Terrarian
This guide is meant for anyone out there playing on console who is attempting to get any Solar Eclipse event drop currently in console without too much hassle- be it banners, Broken Hero Swords, etc. This could possibly be a glitch and considered cheating, but, you don't have to do it if you feel it is dishonorable.
All you will need is:
-gear for the event
-autosave unchecked
-a gold watch
-patience.
The method is simple: you equip a gold watch, save the game at 4:29 AM, and exit without saving until a Solar Eclipse occurs. The reason this works is because days in Terraria do not start until 4:30, and as soon as morning begins is when it is determined whether or not that day will have an Eclipse. If you saved at 4:30, however, it would be day, and Terraria would have already decided whether or not you get an Eclipse. Remember, repeat this step over and over until you get an Eclipse.
Once the eclipse begins, you simply play through the event as per usual until you are satisfied. Another tip is to save as soon as the eclipse actually begins, and, if you don't get what you want, exit without saving, and try again. After you have obtained what you want, feel free to stop doing this.
