Trove News

Luxion of the Golden Hoard is a gorgeous dragon who returns to the Hub twice a month to trade goods for Dragon Coins. You'll find Luxion near the Dragon Crucible from March 29 until April 1. He’ll vanish at 4AM PDT (11AM UTC) on April 1 (not a prank), so don't wait!

Just a few of the items Luxion is offering up on this next visit are:

• Blizzard Behe-moth mount
  
• Polar Caterkiller mount
  
• Bitten Kitten mount
  

While you’re checking out Luxion this weekend, be queue up for Bomber Royale Season 2 if you’re playing on PC!

Hey everybody,

We’re bringing Trove for PC offline today, March 28 at 8 AM PT (3 PM UTC) for a Bomber Royale Season 2 hotfix. Patch notes found below.

Downtime will last approximately 1 hour.

Additional Updates

• Players who are from different regions and invite each other to duo Bomber Royale should now join the same match.
  

We’re proud to announce that Bomber Royale Season 2 is live for the PC right now! Grab a friend and jump into Bomber Royale to blast your way to victory with all-new duo queue. If you're more of the lone wolf type of Trovian, you can absolutely still play solo.

Playing Bomber Royale now earns Season 2 coins which can be used to collect all-new loot. Earn stellar auras, the Warpainted Javelina mount, a Legendary Tome, and a Golden Dragon Egg to unlock Kyrothon, the War Head!

Bomber Royale styles can make you look like the bomb before the match even begins! Check out the Style tab in the Trove Store for the Bomber Royale Style pack.
