Every Monday, Fortnite fires up Mastery Monday: 24 hours where getting Sprites is far easier. If you collect Sprites or farm Dust, this is your day. Here is what bonuses it brings, when it starts and how to make the most of it — plus the real drop rates of every Sprite. (We remind you every Sunday.)

What is Mastery Monday?
It is the Runners season weekly event built around Sprites. It kicks off every Monday at 9:00 AM ET and runs for exactly 24 hours. The first one was on June 8, 2026, and it has repeated every week since. The idea is simple: for that day, collecting, leveling and completing your Sprite collection takes half the grind.
The 3 event bonuses
Double Legendary and Mythic spawn rates
All Legendary and Mythic Sprites have double the chance to drop from a chest during the 24-hour event. Prime time to hunt the Zero Point.
Double XP from your equipped Sprite
Your equipped Sprite earns double XP. Pair it with a Gold Sprite (which already gives XP per kill) to rocket your Battle Pass.
Double Sprite Dust on extraction
Every successful extraction grants double Sprite Dust, so you summon and level up your Sprites in half the time.
Sprite drop rates (and which rise on Monday)
These are the base odds for each Sprite to drop from a chest. The Mastery Monday bonus only doubles Legendary and Mythic Sprites (Rare and Epic stay the same), so Monday is above all the day to chase the rarest ones:
Base 13.92% · Monday: same (the bonus is Legendary/Mythic only).

How to make the most of Mastery Monday
Land with a plan: prioritize Sprite Chests, since that is where the Legendary and Mythic Sprites worth double today come from. Equip a Gold Sprite to add its XP-per-kill to the event double XP. And do not forget to extract everything you catch: each extraction pays out double Dust. It is the best day of the week to go for the Zero Point or finish your collection.
