No Pure-Snow Indrik pet?

VaranisArano

Everyone, be aware that the the 12 Event Ticket Limit is still in place. Go to the Impresario as often as you need to avoid losing tickets.

2 Tickets: 1st New Life Quest
3 Tickets: first boss slain from the following categories - World bosses, Delve bosses, Final dungeon bosses, Final trial bosses. Final arena bosses. Dragon hunt, Dolmen, and Abyssal Geyser bosses

(Personal recommendation: if you had any trouble with getting your event tickets from Dragons, pick a different boss to kill first. If you do lose tickets due to crashing, etc. the in-game Ask For Help option was helpful in reaching Support to get my tickets refunded.)

ALL previous Indriik Berries are available from the Impresario!

Thank you ZOS!

@Dar @Dar there is. It's stated towards the bottom of the artical along with everything else obtainable from the impresario. Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to tag you twice.

Yes! That was a very nice surprise. Not that it will benefit me at all, but I'm very happy that players will have the opportunity to pick up berries they missed or perhaps even get a full set with all the tickets we'll be getting. By my calculations, it's a possible total of 75 tickets!

I only need the final berry, pet, and 4th feather for my 5th nascent. So....I wish there was more available for purchase. Yes, I can pick up Skaal pages, and perhaps I'll do that if I end up needing a page or two, as I'll probably get tired of the event after a few days. So, after I get what I need, I can just stick to either the event or just do regular stuff to get the three tickets from bosses. I can even miss some days, though I don't think I will since I'm not traveling over the holidays.

ETA: I guess I can pick up some additional feathers once I've evolved my 5th nascent. I'm not really planning to chase future evolutions, like the ghost indrik, but if there does happen to be a future one I'm interested in, I'd already have a nascent ready to evolve, with feathers for yet another one. Then, I'd only have to worry about the berries. Hmm...

I have some suggestions, though, for future years:

1. Like the Imperial City Anniversary Event, have some Imperial furnishings for sale. Because the Enchanted Snow Globe home has an Imperial lighthouse, it would be nice to be able to pick up some Imperial furnishings with event tickets. I'd wish for this for this year, since I'd definitely have tickets to spare for this.

2. Please add a quest for Imperials! It's about time, and since achievements and new things have been added to other events, I don't think this would be too difficult if one new achievement got added for an Imperial quest.

Really like the idea of the Charity writs! Getting an ingame skin AND a new costume is very nice, not many opportunities for skins outside of trials.

And the 5 tickets plus all the previous Indrik berries is a real treat! Looking forward to this event.

Having lost all my collectibles in the switch to PC, I'm very happy to see the old berries brought back. It's a nice gesture of goodwill towards newer players too. Now I just have to hope in a future event they'll be willing to bring back the other pets as well.

article lists New Frost-Light Indrik pet. my brain auto-completed to pure snow as well, but it seems to be a different pet, I think its the one that was datamined a while back.

here is to hoping that "including" means that impressario will have more stuff then article lists.

. Please note that the Indrik Berries you can collect each quarter will ONLY be available during that quarter. Previous Indrik Berries will not return once the next quarter has begun, meaning this is your only chance to acquire this specific evolution.

Back tracking from zos. Lol

Are you complaining that ZOS is giving everyone a final opportunity to pick up missed berries for the holidays?

Or complaining that the Indriks are a marketing stunt and this is a really generous marketing stunt that happens to backtrack over some of the limiting promises of the original marketing stunt, in favor of new players i.e. if you didn't grind Q1 etc., you'll never get that indrik?

I can't complain about backtracking on the side of generosity.

saf227_ESO

Does "Dragon hunt, Dolmen, and Abyssal Geyser bosses" count as a single category?

Alot of us have worked hard to aquire Indriks within the timeframe promised. Now it's a free for all. It's no wonder no one trusts anyone if they change the rules as they like. It's a nice gesture for those who missed out but a bit of a backhanded ogesture to the rest of us imo

speak for yourself. I think its great and yes, i worked hard on those indriks during their original quarters. they still cost the same amount of tickets. and whatever tickets you are spending on older indriks, you are not spending on new stuff.

They had the potential of rewarding crown store items too last year, lots of pets, mounts, even houses got awarded last year. Looks like this is just a ticket grind and nothing else

*Ahem* Um, excuse me, uh...where are the Opal boss weapon styles? Are they not going to be made available as well?

ZOS stated on Twitter that the Opal pages would stay attached to the Undaunted Event when they posted the latest Update. I wish they'd have included it in the forum Update as well.

Sooo...we have to wait another whole year for them because of something that we had no control over?
I'd say the event is going to come back, but they're combining it with this one. So now I'm a bit skeptical.

Keep your eye on the Update on the Undaunted Event thread, since the current plan is Mid-January assuming *fingers crossed* they really can work out the bugs in the Activity Finder.

Oh, thanks! Somehow, I missed that thread. Now to cross my own fingers!...erm, claws. XP

Tsar_Gekkou

So the previous indrik pets aren't gonna come back for those who missed them? I'm glad I got all mine previously, but since they're bringing back the berries, I thought they'd bring back the pets too for the people who missed them.

I think you're thinking the Undaunted Festival. New Life has always been Skinchanger, style mat for Skinchanger, Holiday Recipes, the juggling/mudball Mementos (runeboxes and individual), Holiday Costume Runeboxes and random light furnishings (added after first year).

I know what you mean, but the Indrik has been anyway so massively devalued (like down to 0) when they started to sell tickets in crownshop. Before that it had quite a bit of value, as it showed you really had to put some efforts into the game to get it, but since you can just buy it completely from the crown shop, its pretty much worthless in this way and just a gimmik any more. So i dont mind at all, its now a free for all. I'm even quite happy with it, as i used all the tickets of the last event for writs to get "witch" title on as much chars as possible.

If I don't care about berries and already have the full Skinchanger motif book are there any other notable rewards, besides the charity writ rewards?

I thought this was the event where you could get every motif by doing daily crafting writs, or is that another one?

You are thinking of the Anniversary Event in April.
