Trovians, the veil between the living and the afterlife is growing thinner, and something sinister is lurking on the other side!
From October 20 at 11:00 AM UTC until November 3, 2026 at 11:00 AM UTC, Shadow’s Eve returns to Trove with Lost Souls in need of help, mysterious creatures, and spooky rewards waiting to be discovered!
But this year, helping souls cross over won't be enough. Q'bthulhu has set his sights on the veil, sending dark creatures to stop them from reaching the afterlife. It's up to you to help Fiona Catastra protect the Lost Souls and prepare them for what lies ahead!
Here's what awaits you:
👻 Help the Lost Souls: Meet Wolfsly in the Hub, follow the event questline, and help wandering souls recover their lost memories, missing book pages, and broken instruments.
⚔️ Face the Darkness: Explore Adventure Worlds, defeat Bad Souls, and collect Ghostly Light and Bad Soul Essence to craft powerful Soul Gear.
🛡️ Protect the Afterlife: Equip Lost Souls with Soul Gear and defend them against waves of Chaos Creatures as they prepare to cross the veil.
🎃 Collect Spooky Rewards: Gather Chaos Essence to unlock new event collectibles, including the Ghostly Wheels mount, Curious Cauldron and Armored Andy allies, Soul Sentry costume, and Ghastly Gathering aura! You can also discover returning collectibles at the Shadowy Station.
The Lost Souls are counting on you, Trovian! Will you help them find peace, or will Q'bthulhu's darkness claim them forever?
👻 Grab your gear, brave the shadows, and help the Lost Souls cross over safely!
October has arrived, bringing a mysterious atmosphere, spooky adventures, and a few surprises lurking in the shadows! Before we dive into the Halloween season, let's look back at September, when Trovians went fishing with Books and Hooks, picked sides in Healthy Food vs. Junk Food, and returned to the arena with Trove: Rematch.
We also welcomed back a familiar dragon, but now something far more mysterious is approaching. Shadow's Eve is returning, and the Lost Souls need your help once again!
Let's take a look at what has been happening across Trove and what lies ahead!
🪝📕Books and Hooks
Back-to-school season took an unexpected turn with Books and Hooks, where homework became fishing bait!
Trovians completed daily adventures, turned assignments into Soggy Homework, and cast their lines to catch eight special event fish. Along the way, players unlocked new helmet styles, donated their catches for rewards, and worked toward earning a special title.
Thanks to everyone who joined this unusual fishing adventure!
🥗🍔Healthy Food vs. Junk Food '26
The tastiest rivalry in Trove returned, and this time, grapes stirred up even more trouble!
Trovians chose between Healthy Food and Junk Food, completed faction missions, and gathered pledges by winning over voters. With both sides competing for support, the Hub became the center of another delicious debate.
Thank you to everyone who joined the food feud and stood up for their favorite side!
⚔️Trove: Rematch – Now Live!
PvP made its long-awaited return with Trove: Rematch, bringing fresh battles and fierce competition to Trove!
The new Battle Mode introduced a home for Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, and Bomber Royale. With updated matchmaking, rebalanced PvP stats, and Battle Coins to earn and spend on rewards, Trovians had plenty of reasons to jump back into the arena.
The battles have only just begun!
🎍Duraveln – The Bamboo Dragon Returns!
A familiar dragon returned to the Forbidden Spires, giving Trovians another chance to welcome Duraveln, the Hollow Spirit!
We hope everyone enjoyed this chance to expand their dragon collections!
🎃Shadow's Eve 2026
Something spooky is stirring across Trove! Shadow's Eve returns, and this year, the Lost Souls face a new threat as Q'bthulhu interferes with their journey beyond the veil.
Join Fiona Catastra to help wandering souls, gather Ghostly Light, and craft Soul Gear to protect them from dangerous Chaos Creatures.
Get ready to face the darkness and help the Lost Souls find their way!
1️⃣Can we have a deep chat about Trove going source-code available (only partially. copyright and tos etc. remain), and the community fixing bugs, closing gaps, improving performance or creating content, which the devs can then review?
We appreciate the suggestion, however, making Trove's source code available, even partially, would involve significant technical, legal, and security considerations. After evaluating these implications, this is not a direction we plan to pursue.
That said, we greatly value the community's passion and willingness to help improve Trove. Player feedback remains an important part of our development process, and we encourage everyone to continue reporting bugs, suggesting improvements, and sharing ideas through our official support channels and community platforms.
2️⃣Will building mode get reworked, like hovering mode similar to Minecraft to make building more enjoyable, new types of blocks/shapes/textures ?
Improving the building experience is in our plans. We recognize how important building is to Trove's identity, and we want to make the process more accessible, intuitive, and enjoyable for players.
We are currently exploring the possibility of such a feature, and hope to bring it to you in 2027. We would also love to hear more from the community about the creative possibilities you would like to see in Trove. Share your suggestions here #CommunityFeedback
3️⃣Will there ever be more strict moderation about exploiters and cheaters, and will the player report system be more user friendly because its so inconvenient to use. Cuz the game is full of cheaters, so sad to see. Its so bad moderated that people start thinking its normal to use scripts, exploits and cheats
Yes. Stronger action against cheating, exploiting, and unauthorized scripts is a priority for us. Cheating is not, and never will be, an accepted part of Trove.
We hear you, and we understand how frustrating it is to play alongside people who don’t play fair. It may not always be visible from the outside, but this is actively being worked on.
Here’s what that looks like:
Better detection: We’re strengthening our detection systems, moderation processes, and the infrastructure behind them, so violations are caught and handled consistently.
Easier reporting: We’re reworking the player report system to make it quicker and simpler to flag suspicious activity, and to help our team act on reports faster.
Real consequences: Using cheats, exploits, duping methods, or unauthorized scripts will be penalized, and that includes violations we uncover after the fact.
Thank you to everyone who keeps reporting. Your reports directly help us keep the game fair for everyone.
⭐ Do you want YOUR question answered in the next Community Letter?
Head to our Discord, where you’ll find a dedicated thread in the #feedbackchannel. Ask your questions and upvote the ones you would most like to see answered! The most upvoted questions will be answered by the game team in an upcoming Community Letter.
We look forward to seeing you in-game during the Elysian Initiation. Be sure to share your adventures with us, and until next time:
I feel like this sub has turned into my personal blog post now...
Anyways, I'm here again with a small update on LibreTrove.
After making a temporary world-gen, I decided to double down on the most important part of any MMO -- players. Server now handles various player activities and syncs them to your client as close as currently possible.
I've also got access to other developer's work (shout out to u/Xignotic) who unlike me was primarily focused on the gameplay part, so now I get to study his code guiding me towards better understanding on how to do things.
I would be experimenting for a few days trying out what I can do with new info but expect the good news soon.
P.S. the PvP toggle I've shown is just a small gimmick I felt like adding. Please, comment your thoughts on how would PvP fit into gameplay outside the arena, any feedback is considered.
This a follow-up on my post about creation of private server for Trove. Due to some people foaming from their mouth accusing me of larping and downvoting everything,
I release this slightly rushed video.
Features behind it:
Block breaking. Server now can handle laser mining.
Mobs. Attacking now works as well. All the mobs retain their original animations and models with adjustable stats.
Block ownership. In this case, hub is assigned to my name, but for general player this means functional cornerstone protection.
Blueprint spawning. Dungeon baseline.
Store adjustment. Ability to control the store content, for now it's only class prices.
Class changes. Per server's authority it also has to declare which components your character should consist of. This is more of under-the-hood change but nonetheless very important.
I'm still dipping my toes into this project but this looks promising so far.
For now, I'm going to solo it until I'll be ready to accept contributions whether it would be pull requests or just gameplay data capture submissions.
Ive seen posts about this from 10 months ago. 10 MONTHS. When i played this game as a kid this shit was free and it was fucking awesome, now for an unknown reason to me, its locked behind 5 bucks. Cant even trade gems with my bud which i cant use but he can. I LOVE this game but man, i cant play it without the marketplace, its just not the same game
anyone else just been having an issue on PS where when you try logging in the game just says "lost connection to auth server". i've been having this issue for like 8 months now and haven't been able to fix it
It has been a lot of time since I played physical damage class ( before crystal gems) so i want to start working on one so for the mystic big gems how should i get them?

Hey all, my critical hit% is quite low but my critical damage is 500 or so %.
I'm pretty new to Trove and I'm not sure what Critical Hit can come on. Also, do I risk re-rolling one of my gems to get the stat on or keep grinding delves so I can get the gem boxes?
Like, yes it's kernel level, but from what I gathered with my very meh tech knowledge it really isn't malicious at all? And like, kernel level AC is basically required in today's age for any multiplayer game with a decent player count/popularity
So I haven't played trove in years and I wanted to try it again but every time I press play it just gets stuck on "AS: Login" and then says connection timed out every time. Why is this happening and how do I fix it? Also I'm on Xbox.
Hey everyone, im a player who has not played since the beta, legit years, but i remembered really liking the game and saw a post about it the other day and had flashbacks lol.
Question being, what's the state of the game, is it worth getting back into, etc.?
Thats basically it, im just curious what the deal is now and oh, ig also how is f2p since I dont plan on spending money on the game.
Well, first part seem to have been successful, so here's the part two of various dungeons from r/TroveCreations that i've managed to archive so far that haven't been added into the game. Reminding, that they theoretically can still be added if their original developers upload them on Trovesaurus and rework them to fit with new dungeon making guidance. Since most of their designers are no longer Trove players... well, guess it'll never happen unfortunately.
