99 nights in the forest update party99 Nights in the Forest’s Admin Abuse events drop more loot in 30 minutes than some can grind in a week. Miss the window, and you’re stuck farming materials the hard way while others walk around with 40💎 diamonds they got for free.

Read on to learn about the next scheduled 99 Nights in the Forest update time and the worldwide time zones.

What is the Update Party in 99 Nights in the Forest?

Admin Abuse is what the community calls the official Update Party events in 99 Nights in the Forest. If you are familiar with Admin Abuse in other Roblox games, Update Party has the same concept. 

The developers literally spawn free items for everyone, breaking standard gameplay rules to shower you with diamonds, blueprints, and rare crafting materials. The “abuse” nickname stuck because admins playfully use their powers to drop loot that would usually take long grinding sessions to collect.

Think of it as the devs throwing a pre-update celebration to thank you for playing. Instead of making you work for rewards, they just hand them out before rolling out major content updates. Log in, grab what you can, and walk away with the best loot.

FAQ

  • What's the difference between Admin Abuse and Update Party?

    They're the same event with different names. Update Party is the official term developers use in announcements, while Admin Abuse is what the community calls it.

    Both refer to the pre-update celebration, where admins spawn free items for 30 minutes.

  • How long do Admin Abuse events last?

    Admin Abuse events run for approximately 30 minutes from the announced start time. The first 10-15 minutes see the heaviest spawns, with drop rates slowing down as the event winds down.

    Developers occasionally extend popular events by 5-10 minutes.

  • Do I need to be online exactly at the start time?

    Not exactly at the second it starts, but close. The first 10-15 minutes see the best drops, and servers fill up fast.

    Logging in 5 minutes late means you'll catch the tail end, but you might miss legendary spawns that go in the opening rush.

    Aim for 10-20 minutes early to secure your spot.

  • When is the next 99 Nights in the Forest update?

    Update Party occurs every Saturday at 1:00 PM EST.

  • Can I join Update Party late and still get rewards?

    Yes, though your haul will be smaller than that of players who arrived on time. Items continue spawning throughout the 30-minute window, just at lower rates after the initial rush.

  • Are Update Party rewards permanent or temporary?

    All items collected during Admin Abuse events stay in your inventory permanently. They're not temporary buffs or time-limited bonuses that expire after a few days.

    Once you pick up a legendary blueprint or stack of diamonds, they're yours to use, trade, or save indefinitely.
