    For your second question:

    http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Online:The_Witchmother's_Bargain

    Although this concludes the quest, you will need to summon and drink from the Witchmother's Brew to begin the event. As well as transforming you into a skeleton and granting you a 100% boost to XP for two hours, the Brew will allow you to obtain Plunder Skulls from delve bosses. The effect can be reapplied using the memento for the duration of the Witches Festival.

    Hope that helps

    I understand there is a cool down period you have to wait between Plunder Skull harvests. Does anyone know how long that is?

    Probably the same World Boss Loot Cool Down we have always had, which is about 20 Minutes. If that is the case, then it would not apply all that often going after the typical Delve Boss.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Can you confirm whether or not the Grim Harlequin motif will drop from this event? I suspect it will, but it'll help quell the fears of it being exclusive to the crown store if you say otherwise.

    It's just a container that you loot from boss kills. The container contains various goodies, like recipes or motif chapters.

    Any boss! Yay! I was having flashbacks to launch when delve bosses were swamped with bots, making it impossible to get a single hit in.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno So, what about that cool down between Plunder Skulls? I kept hearing something about this from the PTS forum. Is it as simple as waiting for a boss to re-spawn or can you only collect so many in a specific amount of time? Inquiring minds want to know.

    I'm just going to farm normal City of Ash (because I also want Burning Spellweave and Sunderflame) with some friends over and over again. They drop off of dungeon bosses. Or Fungal Grotto (it would be faster than CoA and the Viper and Dreugh King Slayer sets could be useful in PvP).

    It'll probably be like the Cooldown for the Gold Coast delve bosses. When one drops a Motif chapter, you can't get another one for a half hour or so?
