Official Discussion Thread for "Jester’s Festival 2026"

ZOS_Kevin · March 18

This is the official discussion thread for the web article "Marvelous Mayhem Yields Raucous Rewards during the Jester’s Festival!"

"Indulge in delightful anarchy to earn goofy goodies during this year’s Jester’s Festival in-game event!"

the article doesnt list any initial costs to give an idea how much items will cost in tradebars

im currently assuming that since we earn 300 per day (previously 3 tickets), that items previously costing tickets will basically the same as they were x100 (so an item that cost 10 tickets would be 1000 trade bars)

im not really seeing why the need to inflate the numbers by 100 unless we will be offered stuff potentially under 100 trade bars in cost

those were the costs on PTS yes.

And i imagine the Gold Coast Bazaar will have items sold for less than 100 Trade Bars. Outfit Tokens might be 50

It was a missed opportunity for the One Bad Knight style to not include an arrow sticking out from the knee on the greaves, but that shoulder is still a nice touch.

there is an Arrow in the Knee adornment you could use if you have it

it was from the first Golden Pursuits campaign in November 2024, it will likely return in the Gold Coast Bazaar eventually.

Good to know!

I'll keep a look out for that. Haha.

i dont have PTS installed though i have kept up with the forums and such, but probably missed a post that detailed that when they first put the bazaar on the PTS

Evergreen Rewards

Evergreen rewards include items like the Grand Gallery of Tamriel home, Dibella’s Exaltation armor style, Gold Road Recall customized action, Outfit Tokens, and more.
quote from the Bazaar post.

picture from the Bazaar on PTS.
Bazaar has a Consumables category, unsure if that includes Outfit Tokens but potions and experience scrolls could also be cheaper than 100 Trade Bars

picture with Trade Bar prices at the impressario on PTS.

WerewolfMoonHunter · March 19

I admit I never was big fan of this event. Yet I for sure will take part in it. Also I'm interested in rewqards like Thorn’s Bite Withersteed or Roseblood Wings Recall ^^

emilyhyoyeon · March 19

It looks like there's new furnishings, garland and masks etc, droppable in the boxes?! I'm hyped

I asked in the PTS as to why they were inflating the values, but the post was buried quickly and i never received any response.

Question: if I already have 1200 bars, will I have to spend them before I can get more? The original ticket system was capped at 12 tickets and I already hit that limit.

Trade Bars do not have a limit

Why wouldn't the Toy Mounts be available during the Jester's Festival this year? Those should be in the Gold Bazzar for sure.

There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding on what is meant to be in the Bazaar.

I wouldn't expect anything that has made an appearance in the Crown Store with a Crown price tag will to appear in the Gold Coast Bazaar. Things like the Grand Psijic Villa, Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery, houseguest Keldora are some examples.

Meridiano · March 25

This is my 5th Jester’s Festival. Do you think I will complete the Sovereign Sow pet this year? I have one fragment left, and it seems my chances are pretty low.

Thanks, I figured they would have had it available when the event began.

Thank you;
The fact that they come in Satchels made me wonder if there's a limit, since there's an option to leave the container closed (as with Transmute stones).

Q for the Devs I guess:
Why wouldn't someone open a Trade Bar Satchel? And if there's no reason, why have a container at all?

Thurvokun arms pack was originally sold in the crown store, and it's now on the Bazaar. The other toy mounts not in the crownstore rotation would be a fitting item to appear in the Bazaar. Much like the other items available on the Bazaar now, that were originally only offered for a limited time.

shadoza · March 26

Why have quests that require a character to steal something, then, possibly, be chased by the law. Interferes with normal game play so it is not fun.

Thurvokun arms pack was free during the 10 year anniversary, likely why it is in the Bazaar

True, but only with an achievement, and originally it was sold for crowns.

But when were the stick horse mounts free and why should they be in the Bazaar instead of the Crown Store?

The RNG has been terrible on the boxes, golden or purple. Most other's I know, agree.

1) The boxes usually contain junk. I believe I've received two fabric shreds, and this is grinding the missions, on all characters, on two accounts, and that doesn't count my wife doing the same on her two accounts.

2) All the decorations are bound, so, that sucks. Thanks for that. Who thought that was a good idea?

3) I keep getting the same 'One Bad Knight' pages, IF I get any at all. Several gauntlets, several epaulets.

4) Today I opened a golden box. It contained a consumable stack of petals, ten pies, a blue sellable treasure, and a princess' delight recipe. I'll put that recipe with the thirty others I've found. Not ONE high quality item in that Stupendous Box, and that's a new low.

anadandy · March 31

#3 for sure. I've gotten 3 sabatons and 2 girdles. If we only get one bite at the apple for these pages, for the love of apples, curate them. I know, I know guild traders game economy blah blah but it's annoying nonetheless.

Leighlaa · March 31

Today, a bunch of people I've talked to haven't gotten *anything* golden (no style pages, saddle bits, nada) from the first daily GOLDEN jester box.

Did the update break something? What happened? The boxes were fine and now they're totally borked.

I received nothing of value. Nothing. The event is not worth doing again.

Threemoons · March 31

So frustrating, something like 4 Helmet fragments and that's it so far.

Threemoons · March 31

OK, so I screwed up RE my timing on this year's Jester's Festival. I also had surgery recently and haven't been gaming as much. As such, if I get my one Trade Bar package tomorrow, I'll have just enough for the last piece of the Recall, BUT I won't have enough for the first mount fragment. Will this be like prior events where the prior events' fragment for that season/run will be at the Impressario in case you missed any? Feeling the FOMO already. Thanks!
