What, a brand new event?

ZOS_Kevin

We like to change things up every now and then @MyNameIsElias! We'll have more info on Zeal of Zenithar closer to the in-game event date with an article.

Thank you for the heads’ up @ZOS_Kevin !

Let the wild speculation commence!

Zenithar is work and trade and coin no?

It is unlikely to be an extra xp event this one thinks. If it involves daily quests this one would bet on Blackwood - like a Blackwood anniversary event.

Could be some sort of incentive to trade event - like extra gold when you sell something?

Need a nap just thinking about it!

Once again... no dates for the upcoming event (Zenithar). Do you even know? Are you waiting for the week before to see if your servers are going to be stable? What is the problem with letting people know an advance?

The event hasn't even been on the PTS yet, so we have zero knowledge of it. Maybe it's enabled in the first weeks of High Isle testing.

My first thought was double drops from resource nodes.

It’s also listed for June, so about two months away minimum.

A Zenithar event? Trade be!

BenevolentBowd

Who or what is Zenithar?

It would be cool to have a Zenithar event around trade and crafting, but I reckon it will be a straightforward Gates of Oblivion retrospective event. We had similar events for Dark Heart of Skyrim and Season of the Dragon.

Not that I'm complaining about an excuse to spend more time in Leyawiin and Fargrave!

@ZOS_Kevin I think having more than 3 days notice of an event would be great. I would like to think you're internally working towards a specific week(s) for each of these months, why can't that just be communicated? A whole month is a wide open window, so I'm not sure the value of communicating an event that could begin any time day of a month.

I can understand the lack of info on date in June, it will be new expansion so lots of things can change. I have faith we will know at least a week before, though the sooner the better. I think it will be usual Blackwood/Deadland double things event, but it's ok for me.
Will know pretty soon, when new PTS testing hits.

What I really need to know is - will there be a "ticket event" between the above two? I guess not but would like some confirmation. Since I'll be AFK for 2 weeks in may it would be perfect

"This event [Anniversary] provides the first opportunity for you to acquire the fragments for the Aurielic Quasigriff mount!
Collect all three fragments (with the final one available during a later Q2 event), and you can morph your Soulfire Dragon Illusion pet into this fearsome new mount."

So definitely looks like only 2 ticket events in Q2.

Just wanted to follow up on this. We are working on a specific week and hope to provide a date with everyone having time to account for the event. We do understand that the few days announce before Anniversary Jubilee is not ideal. We wanted to be able to communicate the date without clashing or confusing others with the other event dates. It is something we will look at fixing in the future.

Also, please keep in mind that we are launching High Isle on PC/MAC/Stadia/Xbox/PlayStation throughout the month of June. So there are still several factors at play before we can confirm a date. We are sharing the month now to keep everyone in the loop that there are events coming and to help bridge that gap while we work to confirm accurate dates for all.

Again to help with the communication and by player request, we are providing what we know now and will confirm dates later on when we know they are concrete, rather than leave everyone in the dark. We will continue to work to get information out sooner if we can. We hope this helps to clarify this.

The in-game events highlighted in the graphic are the only planned events for this quarter.

JHartEllis

Trade be!

Makes me wonder if High Isle has some major trading system changes.

So there is nothing going on in May? That's a long time between events beginning of April and possibly late June.

We’ll probably have PTS if nothing else.

That kinda leaves console players out though. Nothing really for us to do in May. No new content and no event

Jaimeh

I wonder if 'zeal of zenithar' will be a blackwood chapter anniversary-related event, or something completely new, involed around crafting/trading?

A nice rest between events tbh! I play primarily on console but do have a PC account too. I will avoid PTS for the chapter as I don't like learning the game/story early. I'm already expecting to do the new trial as a blind run with guildies

Awesome insight, Kevin. Thanks for clarifying!

what about may.. we need may day week event .. or something to do with flowers for tickets i neeed more tickets everyone does lol.. lets add one event each month it be cool .. isn't there a vampire event next or.. something ,, what evets are permeant

festegios

With features in high isle update such as being able to buy antiquities furniture (after meeting the required amount collected) and the reduced prices during zeal of zenith.

Will console players miss out on this price reduction assuming the event falls before the console release? With the price of some of the furnishings (which I’m not complaining about), it hardly seems fair for pc users to have them cheaper than console users.

I know no dates have yet been announced. But just my take.

Rogue_WolfESO

Maybe a new pvp event?

bridgetrose

Someone mentioned to me they thought housing bought with gold is on discount during Zenithar. Does this happen every year or just some times?

This is a brand new event so there is no precedent.

abakzn

Is there an event left in May?

Maythor

Nope, next one is the Zenithar event and they said it would be in June. The Anniversary event in April had 2 of the three item pieces for the mount upgrade system this quarter, so we are only waiting on the third piece.

abakzn

What is the mount upgrade system?
