Valentine’s Day has returned and love is in the air! We hope you stocked up on chocolates and those little candy hearts because you’re going to want to carbo-load to take down the infestation of hellbugs in Trove that kicked off on February 14th!

There’s even a very rare chance of picking up a Dormant Block Dragon Egg to hatch into the legendary dragon, Ludini, the Patron of Playfulness!

Hey all,

We're bringing the PC version of Trove offline at 9 PM PST (5 AM GMT) to roll out a hotfix to resolve a few issues.

Thanks very much!

Updates

• Fixed uncommon server crash that could happen when moving Cornerstones.
  
• Faeorocious Facsimile now explodes when the decoy gets in range of an enemy.
  
• The Bountiful Emblem now works again.
  
• Gem effects equipped for one class will no longer remain equipped when switching classes.

Happy Valentine's Day!

In honor of this season of love, we've put together some rewards for our loyal Trove players.

There are a couple different paths to receive these rewards:

• If you have 50 Mastery (or more) and have played at all between 12/11 and 2/6.
  
• Have played between those same dates and ever spent any money in Trove.

The rewards you receive:

• 20 Gem Booster Boxes
  
• 10 Empowered Gem Boxes

If you fall into both groups you can receive the rewards twice. We're in progress of granting these rewards now. Most players have already received them but some may need to wait just a bit longer for the rewards to arrive. Please be patient.

Thanks again for all your support!

We <3 you!
