On Saturday, November 14, Fortnite runs Treasure Hours: Cursed, two sessions where Cursed Sprites are boosted across the Treasure Hunters island. Carrying one raises your chance of finding rare Sprite variants, but there is a catch: while the curse is active, water damages you.

Treasure Hours: Cursed start times

  • First session: 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 7 PM UTC.
  • Second session: 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET, which is 2 AM UTC on Sunday, November 15.

In the Philippines that is 3 AM and 10 AM on Sunday (PHT); in India, 12:30 AM and 7:30 AM on Sunday (IST).

What Cursed Sprites do

  • The upside: better odds of rare Sprite variants while you carry one.
  • The curse: water hurts you. Since v43.10 a visual effect shows when the curse is active, so you know when to stay dry.
  • Cursed Kelper: added in v43.10 after weeks missing, it also boosts rare variant odds.

What else is in the loot pool

During Treasure Hours, Lil Uzi Vert’s Lil’ SMG returns. The boss of the week is still Buggy at Buggy’s Beachhead, and on Sunday Hatsune Miku and Teto arrive at Friendship Villa with three new Sprites.

How to make the most of it

  • Land away from the coast and rivers if you carry a Cursed Sprite.
  • Keep heals ready in case you end up in the water.
  • Open every chest you pass: since v43.10 some carry Exotic weapons.
