Assumes the dailies is all dailies including Cyrodil town quest and prologue dailies.
And remember to pick up the crafting dailies on all alts the 6th but do not hand them in, do that the 7 after the even starts, then do the crafting dailies for the 7th. You can also store up other dailies for this.

This one and her family of 17 more crafters will be so very needing of cake!

Looking forward to the event! And agreed, the cake looks amazing!

I know many of us appreciate ZOS finally putting all the old outfit style pages into the grab bags. It does mean that it will be harder for new players to obtain everything, though I imagine there will still be a lot for sale from those who had the storage capacity to store extra copies to sell later (though I expect prices to be outrageous and potentially out of reach for new players).

I do have a question about the new outfit style. While I appreciate that they don't want there to be a glut of these by the end of the event, it's unclear as to whether the spider pot pet fragments only drop after you've obtained a copy of the new style page for the day, or if you can potentially get several before getting a style page, after which all you can get for the rest of that day (as far as new event items go) is more of the pet fragments. It would seem to me, then that there will be a glut of the pet fragments before the end of the event.

Yay! It's great to see my favorite game getting better and better. At least for me it is.

At the risk of looking a bit ungrateful... Can we please also receive a little tiny bit of free ESO Plus as well? ^^
Pretty please, it's been so many months since last time!

Happy birthday to everyone who works so hard on this fantastic game.

I started playing eso in 2016 because I became ill and bedbound.
The game instantly captured me the stories the graphics everything you can do and on top of that I met the nicest people.
This game literally saved my life because I became very depressed. I was 29 when I became bedbound and I can only on good days get up or force myself in a wheelchair.

I love the stories and have done them several times and still can't get enough. Every new chapter is a treat and I am like a child waiting for christmas when it comes out.

Up to the many years to come hopefully the dreams of the players and gamemakers will come true.
Keep going guys

@ZOS_Kevin

Can you please clarify the news item that states that 'Bag of Jubilee Yesteryear' may contain 'Worm Cult Motif pages'?

Are the worm cult motif pages now only available for tickets from the impressario or are the impressario 'bag of jubilee yesteryear' worm cult motif drops in addition to the usual drops from event boxes as described for the 'Worm cult style master' achievement, which declares those pages as 'occassionally found in anniversary Jubilee boxes'?

As you may be aware, Hollowjack motif pages were removed in previous witches festival drops and placed exclusively in impressario grab bags without considering the implications for the asscociated event achievement.

While the worm cult motif collection achievement itself is not tied to any specific event, it is listed under Crafting-->General achievements and this event is the ONLY time/place this motif can be collected.

To be clear, it would NOT be acceptable for this motif to only be available in the manner described in the event news article, just as it was unnacceptable for the Hollowjack motif to be dumped exclusively into grab bags for the Witches festival.

Thanks.

I'll follow up on this with the team and get an answer.

The list of daily quests is stated as:

• Daily crafting writs
• Daily Delve and World Boss quests
• Daily Alliance War and Battlegrounds quests
• Daily Dungeon and Trial quests
• Daily Heist and Sacrament quests

Is that complete? I'm thinking in particular of:

• Crow quests in Clockwork City (I think these counted in previous years).
• Daily repeatable quests in Craglorn (ditto).
• Bolgrul quests (ditto).

Also, it sounds as if pledges count, which I don't recall being the case in past years. Will they count this time?

deleted221106-002999

@FrancisCrawford I don't think the given list is exhaustive - the wording uses 'include' to describe some dailies:

new anniversary event article wrote:

...When you complete any of ESO’s many daily quests during the event period, you’ll receive special Anniversary Jubilee Gift Boxes as additional rewards. These daily quests include: ...

I'd expect it to include the usual suspects like the ones you mentioned but it would be nice if pledge dailies were included, too.

Wow! WHAT a CAKE!! Again, Happy Birthday ESO

Malprave

Happy birthday ESO! Here since beta and still enjoying the game!

BergisMacBride

@ZOS_Kevin and others:

Do you know if we'll be able to double up on tickets this Thursday when Jesters ends and Anniversary starts and get 6 tickets on Thursday? I know you've done this transition from one right into the other previously but can't remember if daily tickets renewed when Anniversary starts.

Year 8, wow, oh, Hmm, that means I have been playing ESO for 7.5 years...

Guess I am still here for a reason, I have tried other MMOs in that time but they were just not what I wanted.

ESO has so much content and so much scope it satisfies my gaming needs.

Two things I would like to look forward to in year 9,

Training Dummies:
When you find one part completed then at the moment you need complete it to do your test.
If you mess up your test then you need complete it (again maybe) to have a fresh start.
Please: Add a new Memento such as a "Life Gem" that will top up a training dummy life.
This could be unlocked after completing the Max training Dummy damage achieve.

Addons:
Many people now have a lot of addons and this does have an impact on gameplay which normally seems to generate ZOS comments from players rather than addon comments.
From a player point of view there is no real way to know the impact of specific addons on gameplay.
There is of course an addon to allow pre-selection of addon groups for different gaming activities and this does help.
I would like to see some Base Game option where you can view the impact of enabled addons on gameplay so you can better decide if something should be disabled based on game activity.
As computers become more powerful then the interest in managing resource hogs reduces, basically because they become less significant.
ZOS, you are putting all this work and effort into improving the server (back-end) component of the game, don't forget the front end needs attention too

Thanks.

Daily writs are the best for this time wise. They take only a few minutes minutes per character if you are in a city that has a turn in area close to the crafting stations.

There are seven (7) Daily Writs that's Seven (7) Anniversary Jubilee Gift Boxes per character .

If you have all of the nine (9) default character slots filled, doing all the daily writs that's a total of sixty three (63) Anniversary Jubilee Gift Boxes.

A pledge is a daily dungeon, is it not?

1. in this category I'd also add a quest in Murkmire and one in Markarth that become available after finishing the main quests in each place and the prologue quests for Murkmire and Elsweyr (which, if memory serves, did count in the past).
2. Craglorn has both repeatable (i.e. daily) delves and trial quests (weekly). I wonder about Spellscar*, though.
3. Bolgrul quests are delve dailies. Mages' guild are public dungeons one (not sure if these count)

* There are also "open world" dailies, like Harrowstorms and Dolmens, which I'm not sure how to categorize.

It did work like that in the past.

ZOS_Kevin

@BergisMacBride, I believe you can do that. However, we'll clarify and get an answer before the event starts tomorrow. Working on getting a few answers, so we'll add that to the list.

You could add Fighter's Guild and Mage's Guild dailies as well.

And not all Craglorn dailies are delve/WB ones at all.

@BergisMacBride, we confirmed that getting that doubling up on tickets is possible for Thursday. You are good to go!

@Comrade_Ogilvy we checked in with the team about your question. The Worm Cult Motif pages only come from the grab bags now. We need to update that achievement description. So thank you for catching that. A request has been put in for this.

The choice to rotate Worm Cult to a grab bag is in an effort to better manage the drop table for motifs and give a better chance at obtaining the pages through the usage of excess tickets. That being said, we have passed along your feedback to the appropriate teams to see how this can be addressed for next year's event.

Are we gonna get the same old Sai Sahan outfit or will it be the one from Elsweyr expansion? Afaik the one from Elsweyr is unobtainable..

It's still the same original pages, the updated Abnur Tharn (Elsweyr), Lyris Titanborn (Greymoor) and Sai Sahan (Dragonhold) style pages were never made available.
