    My guess is that it looks like it will be from 19 Oct to 1 Nov as that would cover a 2 week period & include Halloween (not that that festival should mean anything in Tamriel but hey, real life) but that something extra is planned for Friday 13th.

    (Mwahahahah. Or some such nonsense. )

    This is my guess also. On Friday the 13th they usually have a discounted pack filled with goodies on the crown store. One year the flame horse was super cheap if remember right.

    My understanding is that the rewards are pretty much the samw, but the two masks are slightly different. Very slightly. They look really really similar to those from last year.

    Well, they are similar, but I LOVE the pumpkin mask from last year, despise this year's version.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Its really strange that theyve said nothing about the event thus far. We're already moving into the second week of the month which is where it started last year.

    Im wondering if theyre just really busy with the release of CWC and havent had time to release the details. They should of dropped the info over a week ago to give players enough time to absorb and spread the information around. That way people could maybe plan for their time grinding for the goodies.

    Why would something in the crates be given through the event? Seems highly unlikely. Probably going to be masks and motifs and perhaps some recipes given as rewards. They've never given mounts as rewards for quests, events or otherwise. That's how they make their money.

    If you are on PC, don't forget to install the 'Plunder Skull Timer'-addon (see the esoui website).

    If this year is the same as last year, there will be a 3 minutes cooldown before you get another Plunder Skull.

    Last year I was in a zerg (I believe I was in Forgotten Crypts in Deshaan). And they all complained that they did not get Plunder Skulls for all the bosses there. I tried to tell them that they moved too fast between bosses... but being a zerg they where mindless :)
    So if you kill a boss and get a Plunder Skull, see that there is at least 3 minutes before you kill the next boss if you want another Skull.

    I never realized there was a cooldown... I ran the Dolmen Train in Auridon and got one every single time, they must have just been perfectly fitting in that cooldown time.

    ...not to mention that the "poo balls" or more accurately, mud balls, were introduced during new life, rather than witches festival...

    This.
    What's the big secret? Everyone here on the forum knows it's coming already, but most people who play ESO aren't on the forums. They need to make an official announcement already with the dates of the event.
