Why Timers Spiked in October

The same Google Trends report that showed “delta executor” also highlighted “timer” with a 4,100% increase.[^trends] Players are juggling Pain raids, RIP event rotations, and Sea Event voyages—all of which refresh on different clocks. Keeping those timers synced is now a competitive advantage for both grinding fragments and closing trades when demand peaks.

Core Raid Schedule Cheat Sheet

Use the following baseline timers when planning squads. Each raid lasts approximately 20 minutes including queue time; start queuing 3–4 minutes ahead of schedule to avoid missing the window.[^raidwiki]

Raid Unlock Time Recommended Timer Fragments Notes
Phoenix Every 1 hour 60-minute repeating alarm 250–300 Great for awakening materials
Pain Every 45 minutes (event period) 45-minute recurring 350–400 Fury-meter practice; charges Dragon demand
Gravity Every 1 hour 30 minutes 90-minute alarm 500+ Highest fragment payout but longer clear time
Rumble Every 1 hour 60-minute 250–300 Backup when Pain queue overflows

RIP Event Windows

The official RIP announcement confirmed a 15-minute cadence during the September update cycle.[^riptweet] To cover the entire loop:

  1. Set a repeating 15-minute alarm labeled “RIP Token.”
  2. Start raid prep at the 10-minute mark so everyone enters the portal on time.
  3. Log fragments earned in a spreadsheet or our trading calculator notes field; the data helps you decide when to sell Dragon/Kitsune fruits while hype is hottest.

Timer Toolbox

  • Mobile alarms: Both iOS and Android support custom labels and repeating alarms; use “Phoenix Ready,” “Pain Ready,” etc.
  • Discord bots: Rhythm-like bots (Timer Bot, Apollo) accept /timer 15m commands and notify your guild.
  • Spreadsheet tracker: Create columns for Raid, Start, End, Fragments, Drops, Notes. Pair with conditional formatting to flag missed rotations.
  • Web tools: Keep an eye on community timer dashboards when organizing larger events; they display global raid resets in real time.

Trade Integration

  • Export calculator results immediately after successful raids. Adding “Pain Raid 07:45 UTC” to your trade notes signals that you have fresh fragments/context.
  • List high-demand fruits (Dragon, Kitsune, Lightning) within five minutes of an event spawn. Buyers often overpay while adrenaline is high.
  • When buying, wait until 10 minutes after the timer resets; sellers are more willing to drop prices once they realize demand cooled.

Safety & Etiquette

  • Avoid AFK script temptations—Roblox policy still bans executors even if you only automate timers.
  • Rotate private servers with your alliance; defuse drama by publishing a shared schedule and sticking to it.
  • Respect queue order. If you miss your slot, join the next cycle instead of forcing your way in.
  • Screenshot server announcements and timer logs so you can arbitrate disputes fairly.

Timers are no longer optional—they are the backbone of efficient fragment farming and smart trading. Set them, share them with your crew, and keep an eye on official channels for last-minute adjustments.
