Greetings, Trovians!
September is here, bringing new adventures, returning rivalries, and a fresh way to battle across Trove. We’re starting the month with Books and Hooks, where back-to-school season takes an unexpected turn with homework, fishing, and plenty of new catches.
Last month, Trovians faced the Four Pillars during the Elysian Initiation, while Allies continued their adventures with Tiny Quests.
Now, it’s time to cast your lines, choose a side, and prepare for a Rematch!
Let’s take a look at what has been happening across Trove and what lies ahead!
⚔️Elysian Initiation
Trovians answered the call of the Knights of Elysia and took on the Four Pillars during the Elysian Initiation.
Players faced trials of strength, endurance, balance, and wisdom before completing the Trial of Mastery, crafting Elysian Emblems, and earning rewards along the way.
Thank you to every Trovian who took on the challenge and proved themselves worthy of the Order!
🚌🐸Tiny Quests Are Live
In August, Allies started to go out on adventures of their own with Tiny Quests!
Build your Tiny Team, send Allies on expeditions, and match them with the right items to unlock synergy bonuses and earn experience and rewards.
Best of all, your Allies keep adventuring while you’re offline, so there may always be something waiting when you return!
📚🎣Books and Hooks
Class is back in session, but this homework belongs underwater!
Turn your assignments into Soggy Homework and use them as bait to catch 8 new event fish across Trove. Complete daily adventures to collect new helmet styles, donate your catches for rewards, and catch every event fish to earn a special title.
Grab your fishing pole and get hooked on Books and Hooks!
🥗⚔️🍩Healthy Food vs. Junk Food ’26
Trove’s tastiest rivalry returns, and this year, grapes are at the center of the debate!
Choose Healthy Food or Junk Food, complete faction missions, and win over voters to gather pledges for your side. Turn in your pledges for rewards and help lead your faction to victory.
Choose your banner and help settle the great grape debate!
😡⚔️😠Trove: Rematch!
Get ready to return to the arena with Trove – Rematch, our new PvP update is coming soon!
🚨TROVE-PC Notice
The security measures and enforcement activity described below apply specifically to the PC version of Trove.
🛡️Protecting the Game and Its Economy
Like many live-service games, Trove is targeted by bad actors attempting to gain an unfair or financial advantage. Protecting the integrity of the game and its economy is an ongoing effort.
Since introducing additional protections through XIGNCODE on PC, we have improved our ability to identify suspicious activity and remove illegitimate items from circulation.
During the past month, we have removed more than 50 million illegitimate items and taken action against several hundred accounts and clubs involved in their creation and storage.
We cannot share specific details about our detection or enforcement methods, as doing so could make it easier to circumvent them. However, these measures are having an impact, and we will continue to adapt our approach as new threats emerge.
Introducing additional security measures was not a decision we took lightly, but it was necessary to protect Trove’s stability, fairness, and long-term health. We are also seeing encouraging signs that the Marketplace is recovering as illegitimate items are identified and removed from circulation.
Reports from the Community
Thank you to everyone who has submitted reports. Player reports provide valuable information and help support our investigations. While we cannot provide details about individual outcomes, reports are taken seriously and reviewed by our team.
❌Third-Party Sellers and Account Trading
Purchasing currency, items, or accounts from unauthorized third-party sellers violates our Terms of Service and puts your account and personal information at risk. We regularly receive reports of purchased accounts being reclaimed by their original owners or sellers.
Staying Safe on Trading Offers
Please be cautious of unusual offers or prices when trading with other players. Illegitimate or duplicated items may enter circulation before being detected, and we continue working to identify and remove them, so avoid offers that seem too good to be true.
Questions About Enforcement Actions
If you believe your account was actioned by mistake, please contact SUPPORT. For privacy and security reasons, we cannot discuss individual cases publicly, including Discord or social media, but appeals submitted through Customer Support are reviewed.
Thank you for helping us keep Trove fair, stable, and enjoyable for everyone.
1️⃣When are club fixtures on switch being fixed and switch getting updates?
Nintendo Switch Updates and Fixes are coming within the end of Year.
We know our Switch players have been waiting for improvements and new content, and we appreciate your patience. Our plan is to fix and update the Switch version of Trove within the end of this year, bringing it up to date and aligning it with the content and updates available on our other platforms.
2️⃣Why does the feature allowing enemies with to much dark to be entirely undamagable exist?
Tenebrous is a Delve modifier that serves an important role by adding Darkness to enemies, which helps regulate progression through deeper Delves.
Removing Tenebrous would allow players to push significantly deeper into Delves than they currently can, and there are a number of design and technical considerations tied to that. Before any change like this could be considered, we would need to ensure that Delve progression, difficulty scaling and rewards remain in a healthy state.
For now, Tenebrous has to stay…
3️⃣We want Shadow Tower brought back! It’s an amazing game mode. Lots of my allies are looking forward to its return! It could be reworked with brand‑new outfits and pets
Shadow Towers were iconic and had a vibe that many of us still miss. Unfortunately, they came with some major technical issues we just couldn’t overcome. The way the system was originally built doesn’t work with the current version of Trove.
That said, we’re exploring ways to bring back that kind of fun, whether it’s through group content, raid-like challenges, or layered difficulty systems.
We’d love to hear from you: what parts of Shadow Tower did you enjoy the most? Feel free to share your thoughts in the forum thread and let us know what made the experience memorable for you.
