Hi everyone. We wanted to hop in and answer more of your questions, especially related to any additional changes we will be making to the Writhing Wall event and learnings for future new in-game events.

• We hear you that that the 12-player monster credit list cap is frustrating during events like this, where there is a higher than usual concentration of players going after event quest mobs. For future events, we are investigating if this is something we can raise.
• In regard to the event quest item drops, while we did push a hotfix last week to make Vitrified Souls more easily available by adding them to Dark Anchors, we are making some adjustments to the other event quest item drop rates for Phases 2 and 3, so your time spent doing the event quests feels better. This hotfix is going out this afternoon (Oct. 21.)
  • We have also identified a technical bug resulting in some inconsistencies with quest item drops from monsters. While we are working on a fix, it will require more time and testing to fix than we can accomplish during this event.
• We've also heard from you that the event rewards in Phase 1 don't feel as rewarding as you would like. We are increasing the drop rates for the Writhing Wall Furnishings in a hotfix this afternoon (Oct. 21). The change will be immediate once the hotfix is live. As a reminder, Wormwrithe weapon outfit Style pages and Caltrops, Bone Skill Style fragments become available as drops in Phase 2 as well.
  • In regard to the feedback about the blue reward coffers, we are unable to make changes to the contents or drop rates of items within them, but we will keep all your feedback in mind as we design rewards for future events. For a little added context, while drop rates are something we can generally adjust via hotfixes, there are a limited number of hotfixes we can push between incremental patches and updates, and each in-game adjustment counts towards that limit.
• Related to rewards feedback, we are also making some beneficial adjustments to Writhing Fortress boss rewards and drop rates in Phase 3 based on your Phase 1 and PTS feedback. Specifically, the Writhing Fortress bosses will award the equivalent of a Glorious Writhing Reward Coffer (gold.) Please note that players may still obtain only one Stirk Fellowship motif page per day from any source.
• Your feedback on the general fun factor of this event and the daily quests and event quest item drops is also heard loud and clear, and is valuable as we plan out future events.

Lastly, we've seen some questions about what activities you can expect to see during Phases 1, 2, and 3, and if all event phases will be the same as Phase 1. Here's a breakdown:

Phase 1: Supply & Defense

• Daily Quests: Vitrified Souls, Supplies, Siege Camp Defense, and Crafting (6)
• Skirmishes at the Siege Camps
• Delves and Public Dungeons across Tamriel are taken over by the Worm Cult forces
• The latest installment of the Seasons of the Worm Cult story becomes available in Solstice

**Spoilers ahead! Don’t read beyond this point if you want to be surprised about Phases 2 and 3.**

Phase 2: The Assault Begins

• Daily Quests: Vitrified Souls, Supplies, Siege Camp Defense, and Crafting (12 – 6 new ones added that include Alchemy, Provisioning, and Enchanting)
• Siege Camp attacks will be more frequent and deadly as the forces from the Writhing Wall launch multiple attacks at once.
• Continue battling the Worm Cult forces in Delves and Public Dungeons across Tamriel

*The Daedra Ghishzor, a powerful Maldrith, appears as a world boss on Solstice when the servers are patched up with Update 48 content.

Phase 3: Fall of the Writhing Wall

• Daily Quests: Vitrified Souls, Supplies, Siege Camp Defense, and Crafting (6 – the new ones added in Phase 2)
• Siege Camp attacks continue with the same frequency and force as in Phase 2
• Continue battling the Worm Cult forces in Delves and Public Dungeons across Tamriel
• The Writhing Fortress opens for players

*After Phase 3 concludes, the Eastern Solstice zone opens and the final installment of the Seasons of the Worm Cult story is available.
