Can the glowing hourglass still appear in greed mode?
I've been trying to get it for a while now but it just won't show up. I don't know if the chaos item I picked up earlier messed things up.

I just cheesed it earlier today, so I can confirm that yes, it does appear in Greed Mode.

Thanks for confirming it I guess it's just very rare

It can appear and without Chaos. It's just very rare I think, but I've found that 3 times today in the shop.

The only way to find it is break the game -> infinite money and buy every item before you find it. Or d6 and alot of rerolls - try to find 3-4 items in the shop to reroll at the same time.

I'm currently using the habit + blank card + 2 of diamonds card for infinite money. I've been grinding for about half an hour now but still haven't found the glowing hourglass

I have it http://scr.hu/30mq/gaz2p
But i took chaos also so maybe only with chaos it is possible.

Thanks for all the help confirming this guys I have picked up chaos and I will continue farming until I get it.

I hate you. :tcry:

I did two breaking runs, one with and one without Chaos. Both resulted in Breakfasting the game without ever finding the Glowing Hourglass. I'd recommend not taking Chaos since it picks items from random pools, thus making the Glowing Hourglass less likely to appear.

But it makes me think that it's probably a special item. And since you get to see a lot of special items from breaking, it's very unlikely to get it to show up late in the run.

Same here. I breakfasted myself to death (figuratively) 3 times today and got no Glowing Hourglass.

YES! I did it! I finally managed to get the Glowing Hourglass! So it's definitely still there, hurry up before it gets removed! :P

It was a much cleaner breaking run this time, I didn't use the D20 (I don't really like it, rooms quickly become a mess) but the Blank Card + 2 of Diamonds / Perthro. It seems to appear towards the end, though, so maybe it is a special item.

Also, I got really lucky with the jamming. I was able to insert 10 coins every time; and since I already had donated about 600 coins the normal way, I only had to loop about 30 times so it was really quick!

if u have breakfasted urself for over a few hours and about to give up on the run, try picking up the D6 if its lying around somewhere and rolling it for that last try if there are like at least 30 +
items on the floor..

thats what happened to me, was about to give up after like 1-2 hours of breakfasting.. then just said f it and wanted to quit the game and retry, decided to just use the D6 for the last try and tada, glowing hourglass got rerolled there with a ton of brekfasts from those items

I had blank card + starter deck + 2 of diamonds and the d6+d20 card thingy. It didn't show up. At all. @@

I tried looking for glowing hourglass for 2 more hours today rerolling and breaking the game with d20 AND blank card + perthro, breakfasting myself into breakfast purgatory. Didn't find it. I'll keep trying though if it really is still in there
