Base Game
Event: New Life Festival
As the year winds to a close, it’s time to bake some cookies, brew some cocoa, and cuddle up with a beloved pet for New Life Festival! The new look to chase this season is the Fish Boon Pioneer outfit, in keeping with the Argonian holiday tradition of the Fish Boon Feast. Some old rewards rotate into the New Life grab bag accordingly, though you can still potentially get Winter Storm Robes pieces and Morningstar Frostwear pieces if you’ve already found a Fish Boon Pioneer page that day.

The final fragments of the Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos are also available on the Impresario, along with the bringback of all the year’s morphing collectible fragments.

In addition, eight brand new daily quests are introduced for New Life Festival. You can acquire these quests from Anicus Novius at the New Life Festival tent, or directly from the individuals he sends you to. These new quests are:

• Cold War: Deliver snowball justice to a handful of unlucky targets in Windhelm.
• Food for New Life: Whip up some tasty meals for the esteemed elders of Auridon.
• The Dragon’s Hoard: Steal treasure from a dragon* lurking in Reaper’s March.
• The Hunt for Dakoi: Help an angler in Shadowfen track down a rare fish*.
• The Mudman: The Wood Elves in Grahtwood have some strange traditions, don’t they? One might think they do it just to mess with outsiders.
• Betnikh’s Boon: ORC SMASH!
• The Judgment of Garth: The Rift threatens to be consumed by the hungry Lord of Bears. Can you placate the ornery ursine?
• The Desert and the Sea: Bring seawater to the distant, landlocked tombs of the ancient Yokudans to bring their spirits peace.

General

• Having multiple instances of “Living Corpse” will now recognize each unique effect as a distinct corpse. This effect refers to affixes such as Beautiful Corpse from the Nobility in Decay set, which allow you to cast a corpse consuming effect on yourself.

Classes
Necromancer

• Updated all Necromantic summon abilities (Sacrificial Bones, Spirit Mender, Skeletal Mage, and all related morphs) to properly interact with the pet limitation rules. These abilities should now actively flush out existing summons and corpses (granted the summons and corpses are sourced by replaceable creatures) rather than outright failing.
  
• Bone Tyrant
  • Bone Armor: This ability and its morphs no longer summon a corpse when they end or their abilities are refreshed after 10 seconds. Instead, these abilities now grant you Living Corpse if cast while in combat, which allows you to cast a (singular) corpse consuming ability on yourself. This effect is applied instantly but has a 10 second cooldown to ensure the same corpse consuming ability cadence is met.
    
    [Developer Comment]
    In efforts to reduce the performance strain these abilities have, as well as a way to work around the pet and corpse limitation cap, we've reworked these abilities to utilize the same functionality as Nobility in Decay (one of the Necromancer's class sets) where you are treated as a corpse for a single corpse consuming ability. This effectively reaches the same outcome, where these abilities help Necromancers produce their own corpses, with some minor gameplay implications. By granting you the corpse immediately, we remove some of the higher demand strategy making with these abilities so you can get straight into reusing and recycling life as you see fit. Additionally, by no longer summoning an actual corpse, we free you from needing to remain nearby the corpse and even allow special interactions with tether abilities – all while also freeing the servers from needing to track a far more expensive entity and effects!
