Chainers Trial of Legends: Personal Tournament through Sep 28, 12:00 UTC
51.games opened Trial of Legends, a Personal Tournament for Chainers farmers, running September 24 through September 28, 2026, 12:00 UTC. The event layers guaranteed progression payouts (seeds, Aqualamps, CFB, Season XP) on top of normal farming, while top-10 room leaderboards add Light Tree Seeds, pool plots, and higher-tier pyrowing rewards before the same cutoff that ends Root of Light.
Background
Chainers is a free-to-start farm-and-mini-game hub from 51.games on browser or mobile. Shop and season loops spend CFB in-account; CHU is the broader ecosystem token on Polygon, Immutable, and the Chainers sidechain.
September 24 also kicked off Season 5: Grow Your Own Tree with Light Tree Seeds, Root of Light, and pass promos. Trial of Legends is a parallel competitive track on the same farm board, not a replacement season. Official docs call the system Personal Tournaments: extra activity for extra rewards while your plots keep running.
What happened
Trial of Legends window (Discord)
According to the official Chainers Discord (opens in new tab):
- Trial of Legends is live as a new tournament through September 28, 2026, 12:00 UTC (same end time as Root of Light in the Season 5 post).
- Tournament Progression pays limited-edition seeds and Aqualamps as you advance.
- Leaderboard grinders can chase Fire Bird-line rewards (see docs naming below), Fiery Barberry Seeds, Light Tree Seeds, and pool plots, with top ranks called out for exclusive Light Tree Seeds in the marketing copy.
- Matchmaking uses four tiers, up to 50 players per room, with opponents near your level (docs spell out per-tier room sizes).
The Discord post points to the full ladder on the Chainers tournament docs (opens in new tab).
How Personal Tournaments work (docs)
The tournament documentation (opens in new tab) does not repeat the Trial of Legends name, but it defines the mechanics behind the link:
- Join and get placed in a tiered room with level-matched farmers.
| Tier | Max players per room |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 50 |
| Tier 2 | 40 |
| Tier 3 | 30 |
| Tier 4 | 10 |
- Complete repeatable farming tasks to earn tournament points. Higher-value tasks score more, and you can repeat tasks throughout the window.
- Earn on two tracks:
- Progression rewards at XP milestones (rank does not matter).
- Leaderboard rewards for the top 10 in each room, scaling by final rank and tier.
- Payout timing: most rewards auto-deliver after the event; top-10 leaderboard prizes must be claimed manually in-client.
Progression highlights (15 levels on docs): early rows include common fire bird food and CFB; mid ladder adds common fiery barberry seeds and common light tree seeds; later milestones add common aqualamp and uncommon light tree seeds, with Season XP and fertilizer stacks between.
Leaderboard highlights: Tier 1 rank 1 bundles rare pyrowing, epic aqualamp, epic light tree seeds, and epic engineered pool plot (lower ranks and other tiers list smaller pyrowing tiers, pool plot variants, protoflower seeds, and fertilizer stacks). Treat Discord’s Fire Bird shorthand as the docs’ fire bird food / pyrowing reward family unless the in-game UI shows a different label.
Who it affects
Farmers grinding Season 5
If you are already planting Light Tree Seeds for Root of Light, Trial of Legends is a way to stack Season XP, CFB, and extra seed tiers without pausing normal harvest cycles. Progression is built for players who will not finish top 10; leaderboard prizes are for heavy repeat-task grinders in your room.
Plan logins before September 28, 12:00 UTC, when Trial of Legends ends and Root of Light’s progression week closes (Season 5 article).

What to watch next
- September 28, 2026, 12:00 UTC: Trial of Legends and Root of Light end (Discord; Season 5 article); confirm top-10 tournament claims in-client
- Whether the studio renames or reruns Trial of Legends on future Personal Tournament weeks (tournament docs (opens in new tab))
- Follow-up live-ops on Chainers on X (opens in new tab) and the Chainers Discord (opens in new tab)
Bottom line: If you are farming Light Tree content this week, queue Trial of Legends tasks for milestone seeds and Aqualamps, and only chase the leaderboard if you can sustain repeat high-value jobs before September 28, 12:00 UTC. After the window, claim any top-10 prizes manually; everything else should land automatically per docs.
