What and when is the Diamond Dragon Event in Build an Island?

Diamond Dragon is a developer-triggered event in Build an Island. Unlike the Lightning Storm, Celestial, and World Tree events, which begin at specific times, this dev event happens randomly in servers. As of this writing, it has occurred only five times, making it the rarest out of all events.

During the event, random resources on your island get a crystal-like color. Mining or chopping these resources gives you a small chance of getting Lost Diamonds. Their number is indicated by a diamond symbol in your inventory.

Since Lost Diamonds are exclusive to the developer event, it is the current rarest resource in this Roblox game. Here's how you can improve your chances of participating in the Diamond Dragon Event:

• Play regularly: You have a better chance of participating in the event if you play the Roblox game every day.
• Join the game's Discord: Whenever Diamond Dragon begins, it creates a buzz in the game's Discord. Consider joining the server to be informed about the event by fellow players.
• Play after updates: The first few Diamond Dragon events occurred minutes after the Buildings update in Build an Island. Thus, the developer may trigger more of them after an update.

The exact chances of getting Lost Diamonds from the event-affected resources haven't been disclosed. That said, their drop rate cannot be increased with Resource or Galaxy Potions.
