01 / EVENT NOTES

What changes during Treasure Hours?

The November 7 US Eastern sessions boosted Pirate Shop Access odds by 1.5× and 2× respectively, as reported by coverage of Fortnite Status. Epic’s event notice lists the start times. The second session started on November 8 in UTC.

The Weekly Gold Outfit had its own boosts of 7.5× and 10× in those sessions. Use the published multiplier for the reward and session you’re checking. Reposted Fortnite Status boost table

Captain’s Day brings a new boss and loot changes. For the November 8 update and ShuffleGamer’s video, see the Week 2 field notes.

Is this the Fortnite Power Hour?

Players sometimes use “Power Hour” when looking for these sessions. Epic calls the Treasure Hunters event Treasure Hours. Look for a dated announcement to confirm the times and the boost for this specific reward.

02 / BOOST COMPARISON

How much does a boost help?

Here is the modeled chance of finding at least one Pirate Shop Token at the same pace of 100 eligible chest openings. Boosts apply to the per-chest rate. Compare sessions using the number of chests you can actually reach during the window.

ScenarioPer chestAfter 100 openings
Normal match1 in 137,5000.0727%
1.5× · Nov 7 ET≈ 1 in 91,6670.10903%
2× · Nov 7 ET1 in 68,7500.14535%

In the November example, 50 openings at 2× give almost the same chance as 100 normal openings. Use the odds calculator for your own chest count.

03 / READ THE EVENT CLOCK

Why Saturday can mean Sunday locally

The confirmed November 7 event ran from 2–4 PM and 9–11 PM US Eastern. Those windows converted to 7–9 PM Saturday and 2–4 AM Sunday in London, and 3–5 AM and 10 AM–noon Sunday in Shanghai. Use the time-zone switch above for other locations.

For the next hunt, confirm the date, start and end times, and the Pirate Shop multiplier in the in-game announcement or on Fortnite Status. Then choose a chest route that fits the session and start tracking when the published window opens.
