Every day and every week
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Every day, 00:00 UTC (7 PM ET, 4 PM PT) | The Item Shop resets. See today's shop for what's new and what leaves within 48 hours |
| Saturdays | Fortune Treasure Hours. Next: November 7, two windows (below). Starting items are confirmed; GameRant reports a higher Fortune Sprite rate. A Shop Token boost is not confirmed |
Because the shop resets at 7 PM ET, a drop listed for "November 7" usually appears on the evening of November 6 in the Americas.

Holding a Shop Token? Your 14 days only cover what the shop sells while the token is active. A$AP Rocky is listed until December 6, so activating at or after the November 7, 7 PM ET reset, when Zoro, Sanji and Chopper are due, still covers every dated drop above through November 14. See when to activate.

- Fortnite Status on Fortune Treasure Hours, Fortnite Status on X. Posted November 4, 2026. Cited for the move to Saturdays, the November 7 clocks, Shock Rocket, Self-Revive, and Captain's Day on November 8 at 9 AM ET. It does not mention the Fortune Sprite rate or a Shop Token boost.
- Fortnite Fortune Treasure Hours Start Times, GameRant, November 5, 2026. Cited for the region times and the higher Fortune Sprite rate. Its token-rate headline is not followed.

November 7, 2026: Zoro, Sanji and the Chopper Sidekick were not in the Item Shop at the November 6, 7 PM ET reset. Epic dated them for November 7 without a time; Vice lists 7 PM ET on November 7, the next reset (00:00 UTC on November 8). Moved them to that time and updated the token note.
November 6, 2026: Fortune Treasure Hours are confirmed for Saturday, November 7, in two windows, with starting items, and no confirmed Shop Token boost. The higher Fortune Sprite rate is GameRant's report, not part of the Status post. Added Captain's Day on November 8 at 9 AM ET. Later the same day: A$AP Rocky's November 5 drop has passed, so the token note now points at the next drop.
