How the schedule works
The Jul 15, 2026 patch added an in-game event schedule (from the Trial Quests screen) showing upcoming team events for the next two weeks — use it to plan T3 trials, since the wiki-recorded rule is that a trial’s event requirement only progresses while that event is running. Horde Invasion is the clock you can set a watch by: 3-hour cycles; your best of 3 rounds per window counts and placement rewards pay once per day. Goldrush phases last a week each (enrollment 1 day, then league play, then the Duneside tournament — Deepsea Dive since Aug 12 has 3 tournament rounds); daily kill and league rankings settle at 00:00 UTC.
Which events to prioritise
- Horde Invasion — free, frequent, and the Horde-only skill tree makes your Tatari stronger there. See the Horde tier list.
- Island Goldrush — the largest reward pool and the only free Glitter Fruit source; also the Rock T3 trial.
- Whichever rotating event your current T3 trial needs — Fishing/Marathon for Water and Fire, Treasure Hunt or Cozy Farm for Lightning, pinballs for Grass.
- Card albums when running — the Star Shop converts duplicates into Deluxe/Rainbow packs plus capsules and candy.
Where event currency comes from
All of it drops from specific Pinball Machine slots (fishing rods, skateboards, fertilizer, coins, pickaxes, Energy Drinks) at 1–15 per hit at x1 and scales with the multiplier — so event weeks are when you spend banked pinballs at high multiplier. Details per slot in the Pinball guide.
