Farm Gavel Trophies at the Farmyard in Storage Hunters: Open World with your Luck capped around 70 to 71, then test nearby Luck caps since trophy spawns seem to cluster at certain values.
Gavel Trophies are the items you place in your shop to push better Mutations onto your auction finds, and the quickest way to stockpile them is to grind Farmyard auctions with a capped Luck stat rather than a maxed one. The numbers below come from player testing instead of official drop tables, so treat them as a reliable repeat-farm route rather than a fixed spawn chart.
The fastest Gavel Trophy farm
Head to the Farmyard, cap your Luck at around 70 to 71 in Settings, and run the auctions there on a loop. At that Luck value the area fills with gavels far more consistently than the other zones, and players have found the Farmyard produces more trophies than every other auction spot combined.
Use this when your specific goal is Gavel Trophies for mutation boosts, not general loot. It’s the best method surfaced so far, though the exact Luck sweet spot can shift by account, so keep 70 to 71 as your baseline and adjust from there.
What Gavel Trophies actually do
A Gavel Trophy isn’t just a $50 sell item. You place it in your shop to raise the chance of specific Mutations appearing on items during auctions, and each trophy can roll different modifiers — for example +67% Silver or +123% Gold. Those modifiers are the whole point: better rolls mean more valuable mutated items like Void or Secret, so dumping every trophy for its base value throws away your best profit tool.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Value | $50 base sell price |
| Location | All areas; densest at the Farmyard |
| Shop use | Placed before auctions to raise mutation chances |
| Modifier role | Rolls mutation modifiers such as +67% Silver, +123% Gold |
| Achievement | “Place a Gavel Trophy” grants 5 Gems once |
Because the modifiers stack across multiple placed trophies, a shop full of good rolls compounds your odds of high-multiplier mutations — the exact reason it’s worth farming trophies in bulk rather than selling them off.
How to farm Gavel Trophies quickly at the Farmyard
This route caps your Luck and loops the Farmyard so gavels spawn in bulk instead of trickling in at random.
Head to the Farmyard
Travel to the Farmyard auction area, which spawns more gavels than the other zones.
Cap your Luck in Settings
Open Settings and limit your Luck to around 70 instead of leaving it maxed.
Sweep for gavel spawns
At 70 to 71 Luck the area floods with gavels, including silver ones, so comb it thoroughly.
Repeat the route
Keep re-running the Farmyard; expect more trophies here per 5 to 15 minutes than at Back Alley, Junkyard, or Shipyard.
Adjust Luck if spawns weaken
If gavels thin out, switch to your max Luck or a nearby cap until you find what works for your account.

Luck caps worth testing
The value to start with is 70 to 71 — that’s the one shown to reliably pack the Farmyard with gavels. Beyond that, players have flagged other Luck caps that seem to produce noticeably more trophies, but these are community experiments rather than confirmed spawn breakpoints, so treat them as caps to try, not guarantees.
| Luck cap | Use |
|---|---|
| 70–71 | Main recommendation; reliably heavy gavel spawns |
| 60–70 | Solid alternative baseline |
| 71–80 | Still strong trophy frequency |
| 100, 125, 151 | Optional hot spots to experiment with |
| 220, 230, 235, 240 | Higher optional caps some players report as trophy-heavy |
Test one cap for a few runs, note how many gavels you pull, then compare. Since spawns carry some randomness, the goal is finding the value that performs best on your account rather than chasing a single “correct” number.
Cap your Luck at 70 to 71 at the Farmyard before running auctions — the concentrated gavel spawns disappear if you leave Luck maxed.
After you collect Gavel Trophies
Place your trophies in the shop before you start an auction so their mutation boost is actually active — a trophy sitting in storage does nothing. Their effect stacks, so fill every trophy slot your shop capacity allows to compound the odds of good mutations.
When you’re deciding which trophies to keep, weigh the modifier rolls instead of the base value. A quick way to score one is to multiply each modifier percentage by that mutation’s value multiplier and add them up — for instance +67% Silver and +123% Gold scores (67 × 2) + (123 × 4) = 626. Prioritize the trophies that push your highest-value mutations and shelve the weak rolls.
Time Capsule mutations and fast Gems
Once you hit around $100,000 net worth, you unlock the Time Capsule behind the Shopping Mall, which adds a time mutation to an item for 100 Gems. The catch is that you can only use it once on the relevant item, so save it for a trophy or item worth the one-time investment.
To bankroll Gems quickly, lean on anything that raises your tip chance — items or builds that boost it are the strongest lever. Then grab a batch of items, cheap or expensive both work, and place them throughout your shop to farm tips at volume.
Mistakes that slow your trophy farm
The biggest one is leaving Luck at maximum and never testing caps — the dense gavel spawns seem to depend on hitting specific values. Just as wasteful is farming random areas like Junkyard or Back Alley when you specifically want trophies; those zones are better for other item types.
Don’t assume Gavel Trophies raise your Luck stat — they only affect mutation chances. Avoid selling useful trophies for their $50 value when a good modifier roll is worth far more in your shop, and don’t count on a guaranteed infinite farm — spawns still carry randomness, so this is a strong repeat route, not a promise of endless trophies. Finally, watch your shop’s trophy capacity, since a trophy you can’t place gives you no benefit at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Gavel Trophies increase Luck?
No. They don’t touch your Luck stat — they only raise the chance of specific mutations appearing on items when placed in your shop.
Where is the best place to farm Gavel Trophies?
The Farmyard. It spawns gavels far more heavily than the other auction zones, and players report it out-produces the rest combined.
What Luck should I use for Gavel Trophy farming?
Cap it around 70 to 71 to start. That value reliably floods the Farmyard with gavels; other caps like 60–80 or higher hot spots are worth testing per account.
Can Gavel Trophies spawn outside Farmyard?
Yes — the item’s location is listed as all areas, so they can appear anywhere. The Farmyard is simply where they cluster most densely.
Should I sell Gavel Trophies or place them in my shop?
Place them. Selling nets only the $50 base value, while placing them before auctions boosts your mutation odds and pays off far more over time.

Is the infinite Gavel Trophy farm guaranteed?
No. The Farmyard route consistently produces more trophies than other spots, but spawns still involve randomness, so treat it as a reliable repeat farm rather than a guaranteed endless supply.
