The 2x Diamonds Weekend in 99 Nights in the Forest is a special event that doubles the amount of diamonds you earn from most in‑game sources. It is a limited‑time event that only lasts for a few days, so players can earn twice as much during this period compared to normal gameplay. Diamonds are used to get in‑game items, upgrades, and rewards, so this event gives everyone a chance to progress faster.
When does 2x Diamonds Weekend event happen?
The event runs from Saturday, March 14 at 6:00 AM to Saturday, March 21 at 8:10 AM (EST). This gives players about one full week to take advantage of the 2x bonus. During this time, almost every source of diamonds gives double the amount, which makes it a good opportunity to focus on farming and completing tasks that reward diamonds.
How are the diamonds doubled?
During the 2x Diamonds Weekend:
- Chests in the world give twice the normal number of diamonds when opened.
- Night‑completion rewards (such as finishing a difficult night or surviving until a certain day) are doubled.
- Event drops and special rewards from limited‑time activities also give double diamonds.
However, badges and some purchase‑based rewards still give the normal amount and are not multiplied. This means that badges tied to milestones, roles, or achievements will not give extra diamonds even though the event is active.
What counts as a normal source of diamonds?
Outside of badges, the main sources of diamonds in 99 Nights in the Forest include:
- Chests and loot crates found in different areas of the map.
- Night survival rewards for reaching certain nights or completing challenges.
- Event‑specific rewards introduced during updates or special parties.
- Quests and daily tasks that reward diamonds when completed.
Because all of these are doubled during the weekend, it becomes very useful to focus on activities that involve chests, events, and quests.
How to farm diamonds efficiently during the event
To get the most out of the 2x Diamonds Weekend, players should focus on repeated activities that give diamonds:
- Clear the Stronghold or castle area multiple times, as each run gives chests and rewards that are doubled.
- Complete night‑based challenges as many times as possible, since the final reward for each night is multiplied.
- Open all available chests in every area you can safely reach, especially in high‑risk zones where rewards are normally higher.
- Finish daily quests and event tasks, because the diamond rewards from these are also doubled.
By planning a clear route and repeating these activities, players can collect a large amount of diamonds in a short time.
Why are badges not doubled?
The developers have chosen to exclude badges from the 2x bonus to keep the event fair and balanced. Badges are tied to:
- Survival milestones (for example, reaching a certain night or surviving a specific event).
- Role‑based achievements (like completing certain jobs or roles in a run).
- Class‑specific goals (such as using a particular class in a certain way).
Because badges are already linked to long‑term progress, they do not change during the 2x Diamonds Weekend. Players will still receive the normal amount of diamonds from badge rewards, while everything else is doubled.
What else changes during the event?
Along with the 2x diamond bonus, the developers have added bug fixes to make the game run more smoothly. These fixes may include:
- Improvements to how chests and rewards are counted.
- Fixes for event triggers that give diamonds at the end of nights or challenges.
- Small stability changes that help prevent crashes or glitches during busy runs.
These changes are meant to make the weekend feel more stable and less frustrating, especially when many players are farming at the same time.
How to plan your farming runs
To make the most of the 2x Diamonds Weekend, it helps to plan your sessions around the event window:
- Play during your main gaming hours so you can complete multiple runs without rushing.
- Focus on high‑reward areas such as the Stronghold, castle, and special structures where chests are common.
- Team up with friends if possible, because more players can help open more chests and complete events faster.
- Keep track of your diamond count before and after the event to see how much extra you earned.
By following a simple plan like this, players can increase their diamond income without spending extra time than usual.
Important reminders
- The 2x bonus only lasts until the event ends on Saturday, March 21 at 8:10 AM (EST). After that, all diamond rewards return to their normal amounts.
- Badges and some shop‑linked rewards are not doubled, so do not expect every source of diamonds to change.
- If any bugs or problems appear, the developers may release small fixes during the event, so it helps to check official channels for updates.
By understanding how the 2x Diamonds Weekend works and where to focus your time, players can earn more diamonds and prepare better for future updates and events in 99 Nights in the Forest.
