What gets boosted
Epic's official wording is that treasure odds are boosted and every match starts with free gear. The specific numbers below come from coverage citing Epic's announcement for the Nov 7 sessions, and later sessions may differ:
| Reward | Nov 7 boost | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Free start items (Shock Rocket + Self-Revive Device) | Every match | Official |
| Weekly gold outfit | ×7.5, then ×10 | Reported |
| Pirate Shop Token | ×1.5, then ×2 | Reported |
| Fortune Sprites | Appear more often | Reported |
| Weekly vehicle & decal | ×10 | Single source |
A boost only helps the chests you open during the window. In the chest counter, switch the boost on when a session starts and off when it ends. Only those chests use the boosted rate in your odds.
Token "power hours" (rumoured)
On Nov 4, a well-known leaker reported that dedicated Pirate Shop power hours are coming later in the season, and community coverage cites a roughly 400% token boost. Epic hasn't confirmed or scheduled them Unconfirmed. A single report of an all-day session on Nov 19 is also unverified. If one is announced, it'll be the best window of the season to hunt the token, and we'll add it here.
The weekly rhythm of Treasure Hunters
- Captain's Days (Nov 1, 7, 12, 14 and 21) bring a new crew, boss, weapons and Sprites Official. The gold outfit slot rotates with the Captains.
- Mastery Monday (every Monday from 9 AM ET): 2× Sprite XP and Sprite Dust, plus more Sprite Chests and Wanted Posters across the island Official. That means more chests to open.
- Treasure Hours on announced Saturdays, as above.
How to make the most of a Treasure Hours session
- Convert the time in advance. Sessions are announced in Eastern Time and only last two hours.
- Spend it on chest density. Land where you can loot quickly and keep opening. Don't spend the window on long rotations.
- Squad up. The Pirate Shop Token is reported to drop for the whole party, so a full squad multiplies your boosted rolls.
- Play short matches. Most chests are opened early. More matches means more chests per hour.
- Log the boosted chests. Turn on the boost in the chest counter so your odds stay honest.
