Events During This Season
Nothing is live on the island right now, but two items are on the near-term calendar. Mastery Mondays is a recurring event, with its next run from July 6 to July 7, 2026, offering better odds at Legendary and Mythic Sprites, double Sprite Dust from extractions, and extra Portable Extractors from Daily Quests; interest in this run is already over 15,000. Separately, Epic has confirmed a new Holofoil Sprite variant arriving on July 9, 2026, which improves the odds of finding rare variants like Gold, Gummy, and Galaxy Sprites; anticipation for that one is nearing 38,000.
