Troves Go Live October 22: Collect, Bank, and Progress

The wait is almost over: Troves go live in Upland this Thursday, October 22! Get ready to explore, start your collection, and turn your discoveries into lasting achievements with Trove Banking and the new Progression System.

There will be new finds to compare, collections to build, and goals to chase together. If a friend has been looking for a reason to return, or you know someone ready for their first Upland adventure, bring them along. This is a launch you can discover together.

Phase One

Your first challenge? See what you can find among 189 unique Troves available to collect in phase one. Explore Upland, compare notes with your neighbors, and start filling your inventory. This first batch is just part of the full collection waiting to unfold.

New Troves, crafting recipes, and more banking tiers will arrive at regular intervals over the coming weeks, bringing fresh discoveries and new uses for what you collect. There are no crafting recipes at launch, so Thursday is your chance to get out, explore, and get to know your first Troves.

Each phase gives you time to build your collection and learn the mechanics before the next batch arrives. You can get familiar with what you have found, choose your next goal, and be ready when new recipes open up more possibilities.

Troves will launch in beta and remain there through the rollout, giving us room to make balancing adjustments as you play. Beta progression rewards are subject to change and differ from those planned for the full new-player onboarding experience coming later this year.

All Troves from Genesis Week will be removed, except Genome Troves, which will remain in your inventory.

Bank Your Collection and Build Your Progress

Some finds are worth keeping forever. Trove Banking lets you permanently add Troves to your collection and show off your achievements in the Trove Vault. Bronze and Silver banking tiers will be available at launch, with higher tiers opening in the coming phases.

The choice is yours: bank Troves toward a collection goal, or hold onto them for recipes and other uses as those arrive. Choose carefully, because banked Troves cannot be withdrawn or used elsewhere.

Your Vault shows how far you have taken each banked Trove, while your Progression level tracks your broader journey through Upland. Together, they give you something to work toward beyond your next discovery: a collection you are proud of and milestones that show how far you have come.

Ready for a little friendly competition? Troves competitions are coming during the rollout, too. Stay tuned for the challenges and rewards!

The Bigger Troves Economy Ahead

Collecting manually is where this adventure starts. Further ahead, the challenge grows: how will you gather the quantities needed for bigger banking goals and more ambitious recipes? That is where automation comes in.

Farming is planned as one way to collect Troves in much larger quantities, while automation involving Uppies on your properties and future farming systems will help make large-scale collecting practical. Bulk recipes will offer ways to turn those stockpiles into other Troves, giving you more choices about what to use and what to bank.

That bigger economy is a longer-term goal, not part of Thursday’s launch. For now, it starts with you heading out and discovering what is there.

Troves After Dark Commemorative Sale

A launch like this deserves a few new collecting companions. Meet Troves After Dark 2026: six limited Block Explorers celebrating the arrival of Troves during Harvest!

Each $20 bundle includes 20,000 UPX and one Block Explorer, with 70 mints per design. Registration opens Tuesday, October 20, the sale begins Wednesday, October 21, and closes Sunday, October 25.

Choose from Rattlebag, Patchwick, Gribbin, Jinx, Flit, and Spindle. These six characters make up the complete Troves After Dark 2026 series, with no additional designs to be added.

Each Explorer comes with a special 150 stamina, just like Little Frights. This is the last commemorative sale with that boost at this price and mint tier. Future releases at the same tier will have their normal stamina; Little Frights and Troves After Dark will keep their special 150 stamina.

Price: $20 per bundle
Includes: 20,000 UPX + your selected Troves After Dark Block Explorer
Supply: 70 mints per design
Stamina: 150

These bundles are a way to celebrate, not a requirement to join in. You do not need to buy one to collect Troves, bank your finds, or begin progressing.

The Hunt Starts Thursday

What will your first Trove be? Which discovery will you bank, and which will you save for what comes next? You can start finding out this Thursday.

Bring your friends, share your finds, and help each other discover what is out there. We cannot wait to see the collections you build. See you in Upland!
