Important Note

⚠️ The update party at the start of the event will only last 30 minutes, so make sure to log in early. After that, the double gem bonus will remain active for the rest of the week.


What’s Coming in the Update

1. New Playable Classes

The developers have teased new classes being added to the game. Each class in 99 Nights in the Forest has unique stats and abilities, so expect new playstyles or special perks that will shake up the meta.

While the names haven’t been confirmed yet, leaks suggest at least one tank-type and one support-oriented class could debut during this update.

2. 2x Gem Weekend

For the entire duration of the event, players will earn double the usual gems.

Whether you’re farming enemies, completing quests, or opening chests, your gem count will skyrocket. It’s the best time to grind resources or save up for future crafting and upgrades.

3. Update Party Bonuses

The 30-minute update party will kick off the event. Players who join during that window can expect mini-events like:

  • Random gem rain across the spawn area

  • Temporary XP multipliers

  • A chance to meet admins or developers in-game

Since the update party is short, you’ll want to join as soon as the event goes live to grab these quick boosts.

4. Balance Fixes & Improvements

Alongside new content, this update is expected to introduce minor fixes for lag, server syncing, and potential balance adjustments to crafting and weather events — especially after the Ghoul Garden Halloween update.

Tips to Prepare Before the Update

  • Log in 15 minutes early on October 11 to avoid server rush.

  • Empty your inventory to collect as many gems as possible during the 2x bonus period.

  • Upgrade your class and clear quests early to take advantage of new class unlocks once they go live.

  • Play during the update party — even if it’s just for 30 minutes, the rewards are worth it.


Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Event

This event isn’t just another minor patch, it’s one of the most lucrative gem farming opportunities of the year. With 2x Gems and brand-new classes, it’s the perfect combination of content and progression.

Even if you’re a casual player, logging in during the event will give you a major resource boost that will help you through future updates, including the next planned expansion later this year.


Final Thoughts

The 2x Gem Weekend + New Classes Event in 99 Nights in the Forest is shaping up to be one of the best updates since the Ghoul Garden Halloween event. Between the gem bonuses, the short but rewarding update party, and the new class additions, this week is a must-play for anyone looking to level up faster and explore new builds.

So mark your calendars, October 11 to October 18 and get ready to farm double the gems while trying out the newest classes in the forest.
