## Key points

- A rare Fortnite token is estimated to drop in one in 700,000 chests.
- Players tried selling farming tools, help and accounts with shop access.
- Epic says account sales and exploits risk bans.

## Summary

Fortnite’s One Piece crossover has sent players searching for a rare Pirate Shop Token, which grants free access to most items in the shop for two weeks. The hunt has prompted some players to sell automated farming tools and paid help, while others have listed accounts with access for thousands of dollars, despite Epic’s rules against account trading and exploiting.

There is no official drop rate, but players estimate the token appears in about one in every 700,000 chests. Methods to speed up the search include destroying chests in locked vaults with grenades or cannonballs; two eBay listings asking $9,000 and $10,000 had no bids and have since been removed. Epic says buying accounts or using fake tools is a scam, and warns that rule-breaking can lead to account bans; the season ends on 4 December.
