Online:Events

This page lists all limited-time events which have taken place in The Elder Scrolls Online. Events can be special occasions that only occur once, or can be recurring every year. Recurring events include:

• Anniversary Jubilee
• New Life Festival
• Jester's Festival
• Whitestrake's Mayhem
• Witches Festival
• Undaunted Celebration
• DLC anniversary celebrations: held around the anniversary of the release of one or more Zone DLCs, such as the Imperial City Celebration, Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration and Orsinium Celebration. These typically involve additional rewards for playing DLC content, including double drops from certain quests, bosses and resource nodes.
• New DLC celebrations: held some time after the release of a new chapter or DLC, such as Summerfall for the Summerset chapter, Dragon Rise for the Elsweyr chapter, and Dawn of the Dragonguard involving the Elsweyr chapter along with the Scalebreaker and Dragonhold DLCs. These sometimes give additional rewards for playing DLC content, often with added rewards based off the number of players participating in the event that are distributed to all participants once the event has concluded.

The Crown Store usually has special offers coinciding with these events, such as discounts on relevant DLCs and cosmetics, and can include the temporary return of limited availability items such as DLC Collector's Editions, Player Houses and Crown Crates. Sometimes the Crown Store also has additional sales corresponding to various real-world cultural events not otherwise celebrated in-game, such as Valentine's Day ("Heart's Day"), St Patrick's Day, Friday the 13th ("Fatal Fredas/Serpent 13"), a combined dye sale for Canada Day, US Independence Day & Bastille Day, and the annual Black Friday ("Black Fredas") sale.

Since late 2018, most game events have also provided Event Tickets to participants, used to purchase special items from the Impresario.

Four of the recurring events also have their own Achievements, some of which unlock special furnishings for purchase.

Future Events (Hidden for Spoilers) 

Zeal of Zenithar

June 2022

Zeal of Zenithar is a festival honoring the Tamrielic god of commerce, labor, and cooperation. During this time, the cost of navigating Tamriel by Wayshrine is reduced by 75%, repair costs for equipment are reduced by 50%, and global vendor prices for AP, Tel Var, and gold dealing merchants are reduced by 10%. This includes all such vendors, including the Golden Vendor, Achievement Furnishing, and Luxury Furnishing merchants. Furthermore, crafting Inspiration gained during Zeal of Zenithar is increased by 100%.

To participate in this event, you may acquire the introductory quest by visiting the Events/Quest Starters section of the Crown Store or by traveling to the festival grounds outside of Belkarth in Craglorn. Either location will give you the opportunity to take the quest, called "An Offering He Can't Refuse". Once you complete this quest, you can acquire the follow-up daily quest "Honest Toil". Complete any one of the goals for this daily quest to acquire Event Tickets and a gold-quality reward coffer, Zenithar's Sublime Parcel.

Throughout the event you have a chance to receive purple-quality reward coffers, Zenithar's Delightful Parcel, through the following activities:

• Completing a daily crafting writ (limited to one per account per day)
• Completing a Master Writ (no daily limit)
• Completing rounds of group arenas such as Dragonstar Arena or Blackrose Prison while grouped with someone who is a member of at least one of your player guilds
• Defeating a group boss or world event in the overworld while grouped with someone who is a member of at least one of your player guilds
• Participating in legerdemain activities such as pickpocketing, opening safeboxes, or opening thives' troves (Profiting off the hard work of others? Zenithar wouldn't approve!)

Reward boxes of any quality have a chance to drop the following rewards:

• Outfit style pages for the High Rock Spellsword style (only from the gold-quality coffer)
• Durable crafting materials, provisioning ingredients, alchemy reagents, or enchanting runestones.
• Motif style items
• Crafting quality improvement items (tannins, etc.) or research boosters
• Equipment repair kits, AvA repair kits, or group repair kits
• Furnishing and provisioning recipes
• Imperial City vault keys, treasure maps, survey reports, or a currency pouch (the latter of which has a very small chance to be a jackpot amount!)
• Companion gear

Event Tickets

During Zeal of Zenithar, you can earn three Event Tickets once a day per account for completing the daily quest, "Honest Toil". These can be traded for special items at the Event Merchant, The Impresario.

Daedric War Celebration

Daedric War Celebration 2022

January 20, 2022 — Tuesday, February 1

Return to Vvardenfell, the Clockwork City, and Summerset Isle in the Daedric War Celebration! This new event takes you back to the lands beset by conflict fomented by the Daedric Triad of Clavicus Vile, Mephala, and Nocturnal. You may participate in daily quests in any of the three zones, including delve and world boss dailies, Blackfeather Court dailies, Slag Town dailies, Ashlander dailies, and the Geyser daily quest in Summerset.

The Daedric War Celebration in-game event begins next Thursday, January 20 at 3PM GMT, and runs until Tuesday, February 1 at 3PM GMT. To participate, you need access to the Morrowind Chapter/DLC, Clockwork City DLC, or Summerset Chapter/DLC, available right now via ESO Plus™ membership or available for purchase from the in-game Crown Store. Once you have access, you can get started by picking up the introductory quest “Guidance for Guides,” available free from the in-game Crown Store or from the event NPC Calonir, found near any Impresario tent.

• The first daily quest you complete in either Vvardenfell or Clockwork City grants you 1 Event Ticket, and the first daily quest completed in Summerset grants you 1 additional Event Ticket. Thus, you can earn up to 2 tickets per day by completing dailies in both sets of zones.
• The first daily of any sort you complete will also award you a box of Glorious Daedric War Spoils, containing a chance for valuable treasures. Subsequent dailies, along with ambient activities in the listed zones, will instead award a purple-quality box of Daedric War Spoils with smaller chances for the shiny stuff.
  • All of these boxes have a chance to drop motif chapters for the three zones, outfit style pages, crafting materials, or zone set items. Even rarer drops might be found, such as the Slag Town Diver Skin, Verminous Fabricant runebox, Thetys Ramarys's Bait Kit, the new Gloam Gryphon Fledgling pet, or the new Evergloam Champion weapon style pages.
• Doctrine Ordinator armor style pages will be available as potential drops from Vvardenfell and Clockwork City public dungeon bosses, world bosses, and some quest bosses during this event. They will also be possible drops from Asylum Sanctorum and Halls of Fabrication bosses!
• If that's not enough, resource nodes in these zones will have a greater yield.
  • Daily quests have their usual reward boxes doubled.
  • World and delve bosses, along with Geysers, have extra loot.
  • Bosses in Asylum Sanctorum, Cloudrest, and the Halls of Fabrication drop extra loot.
• The Impresario will offer fragments for the new base morphing collectible item for 2022, the Soulfire Dragon Illusion pet.
  • These three fragments are available for 5 tickets each and may be combined to complete the pet.
  • The first fragment for the first morph, the Scales of Akatosh skin, is also available for 10 tickets.
