The most recent loot boost ended March 31st. It'll presumably make a return though in the future.
No, you're wrong. That was the challenge rewards bonus weekend, not treasure boost: https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/ddo-bonus-days.26935/

It would sure be nice to have a loot boost weekend when the new expansion comes out..

I've been advocating this for 5 years. They really need to make them week long bonuses that rotate on Wednesdays after reboot. Some people are forced to work weekends, or have to work 60 hours and eats into their play time on either Saturday or Sunday. Unfortunately, it would benefit the players too much for them.
@Teh_Troll you better unlike Cordovan's post!

The bonus was in the anniversary celebration from February until the end of March.
Get Limited Time Bonuses, gifts and more as we celebrate 20 years!
Need to know what you can get, where to go, and how much time you have? This DDO 20th Anniversary article is for you!
Aye, as Kyrr said. If you comb through the announcements, the last treasure hunter weekend was back in December.
Edit: In case it needs iterating, a primary reason for wanting a treasure hunter weekend is the increased odds for mythic/reaper. I personally attained over 200 reaper frags from the +15% boost back in December. It'd be nice to see treasure hunter weekend return. It has indeed been a while, here's the most recent ones:
December 18–21, 2025: +15 Treasure Hunter Boost
October 30-November 2, 2025: +5 Treasure Hunter Boost
August 7–10, 2025: +5 Treasure Hunter Boost
July 10–13, 2025: +10 Treasure Hunter Boost
May 22–26, 2025: +5 Treasure Hunter Boost
March 27-30, 2025: +5 Treasure Hunter Boost
January 23-26, 2025: +10 Treasure Hunter Boost

A djinni discovery loot boost and a treasure hunter boost are two different things. We are talking about the Treasure Hunter Boost weekend. We have not seen one since December 18th through the 21st. A loot bonus/boost is referring to Treasure Hunter Boost weekend as the only "loot discovery bonus" appears through the Djinni.The bonus was in the anniversary celebration from February until the end of March.

The anniversary was +10% Djinni boost to find named items - that's a very special one, it's not a weekend bonus and I'm not expecting that one.The bonus was in the anniversary celebration from February until the end of March.

What many people are after is the this bonus: https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/ddo-bonus-days.24826/
The one when reaper/mythic bonuses drop more often, contrary to some comments. It's over half a year since last time we got it.

The 10% increase in drop rate from the anniversary was really nice and appreciated, but it is not the same as the treasure boost weekends which is one of the community's favorite weekend bonuses. +15 to all rolls would be nice

Despite it's description suggesting otherwise the treasure hunter boost is explicitly not supposed to increase the chance of reaper/mystic bonuses according to statements from the developers. I will note those statements are either in live streams, or on the old forum and no longer accessible.
I will also note the petition for transparent loot mechanics is the most popular suggestion in it's respective forum.

The only time I see you post on the forums ever is in regards to Treasure Hunter boost. I'm not sure why but every single post from you happens to revolve around that weekend. There's a reason people want it, and that's because it works. The developers themselves said it doesn't affect mythic/reaper gear but they themselves don't know how this game functions.
I could probably say that you're hiding behind an alternate account because any time the discussion of treasure boost appears, you appear and poke your head out from the shadows so you're most definitely viewing the forums often but that information is private.
Whether it's "supposed" to or not, it does increase the rates of mythic and reaper.

I feel strongly that monetized systems should not have opaque mechanics. I stopped regularly playing in part because I dislike the lack of transparency SSG has.
That remains an unproven assertion. SSG says it doesn't, and dataminers who have looked at it have said it doesn't, until there is conclusive data or a statement from the devolopers I'm going to dispute the claim.
This is my main account, the account it is tied to is over a decade old. I check the forum to see what the weekly bonuses are because I want to test the claim.

With all due respect Cordovan, we are not talking about the Djinni from the 20th Anniversary event and the 'Djinni Discovery Boost' (+10% Festive Bonus the chances of getting Named Loot). We are talking about 'DDO Bonus Days Treasure Hunter Boost' (treasure dice rolls are increased by x making it more likely that you will get maximum effects on loot. i.e. Mythic and Reaper bonuses). One gives better chance to get named loot, the other gives a better chance for the named loot to come with a bonus on it.
You know that...we know that...you know that we know that...and we know that you know that. Playing funny little games with the fact that we have not had a 'DDO Bonus Days Treasure Hunter Boost' since December 18th and playing coy about it - does not endear yourself to those of us who very much look forward to this bonus happening. Does it not make sense for SSG to keep these bonuses as a regular occurrence for profits? I can't speak for others, but I can tell you for sure this is EXACTLY when I spend ALL my Astral Shards. Here's a little breakdown of the 'DDO Bonus Days Treasure Hunter Boost' occurrence rate over the last 6 years and why people are so puzzled why we have yet to enjoy one in 2026.
2025: By May 22nd we had 3 (+5 x2/+10). Total of 7 for 2025.
2024: By May 30th we had 2 (+10 x2). Total of 6 for 2024.
2023: By June 22nd we had 3 (+10 x3). Total of 6 for 2023.
2022: By June 9th we had 2 (+10 x2). Total of 4 for 2022.
2021: By May 20th we had 3 (+10 x2/+5). Total of 4 for 2021.
2020: By May 14th we had 1 (+5). Total of 3 for 2020.
So, you can see by the tracking here that to not even have ONE bonus yet by this late in the yearly cycle - is unheard of. So, I'm not sure what SSG is playing at, and I won't speculate as to why this shift in philosophy has occurred. For me personally, I took a break after the 20th Anniversary event specifically to save my 'Djinni Discovery Boost' so that I could couple it with the 'Treasure Hunter Boost'. Every week I check and still no bonus. So disappointing, but I guess I will be on break from DDO longer than anticipated - FWIW.

Listen, you have the right to spread whatever propaganda you want and i'm going to continue receiving triple the boosts (either mythic or reaper) during those weekends.
You can claim that's your main account but if that's your only "this game shouldn't have opaque mechanics" then you have not met Standing Stone Games. A lot of everything is opaque or vague. I also don't believe that is your main account, but whatever at this point right..?

I've taken breaks, and the lack of transparency around the loot was less of a problem before they introduced shard rerolls, then mythic bonuses, then reaper bonuses, then curses, then rare items.
If you think I'm someone's alt go ahead and say who you think I am. It'll make for a good laugh.
