Step-by-Step
Plan around the expected schedule: the next Treasure Hour is slated for Saturday, November 7, 2026, with a first session from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET and a second from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET.[search-7d6c06dbe504]
Log in during one of the two sessions, since the event follows the same weekend time routine used for Power Hours in Override.[search-7d6c06dbe504]
Spend the session opening Treasure Chests, which the source says should be enough to roll the RNG in your favor for boosted rewards.[search-7d6c06dbe504]
Watch for boosted drops of Sprites and weapons, and possibly the Pirate Shop Token, though Epic has not confirmed exactly what will be buffed.[search-7d6c06dbe504]
Keep attending across the season, since Treasure Hunters runs until December 5, 2026, leaving several weekends for Treasure Hours.[search-7d6c06dbe504]
Common Mistakes
- Don't assume the Pirate Shop Token drop rate is guaranteed to be buffed; the source only speculates it will be, as the devs have not shared details. [search-7d6c06dbe504]
- Don't treat the session times as final; the source labels them tentative, based on the Override pattern. [search-7d6c06dbe504]
