- Hammerstrike HallLatest
Hammerstrike Hall world event
- Hammerstrike Hall, a recurring world event, starts November 10: an auction and collection game running about 30 minutes per round, with the first event at 10:00 UTC (5:00 AM EST) and then every 3 hours; from November 11 the first event of the day is 01:00 UTC.
- Bid to complete item sets; collection score converts to XP and Hammerstrikes. The event needs milestone 2 Merchant and the completed tutorial (live since November 2, in the Hammerstrike Lobby off Market Passage), with separate leaderboards per game plus a global leaderboard.
- The same update rebalances Shipwreck: NPCs are added when a game has fewer than 30 players — the final planned Shipwreck balance change — and personal bests and leaderboards reset. The Halloween 2026 event ended November 2.
For buyersHammerstrike Hall pays XP and Hammerstrikes for completed sets, so the auction game is the new farming beat; the Shipwreck leaderboard reset means old bests no longer stand.

For buyersThe value rebalance is the buyer note: shark jaws, suckers, ectoplasm and mushroom spores are worth less after this patch, so stock banked at pre-patch values repriced on October 13 — and the lifebuoy and spear caps limit how fast Shipwreck stock can be farmed going forward.
