stevepdodson_ESO888

has anyone ever thought about actually just trying to play the game and find out for yourself,
as you might do in any other game?

rewards.... top tier i.e. rune boxes and gold recipe....

don't know if anyone else has noticed this..... run the event on three toons. first two got average stuff on first run. second run one of them got a rune box. third toon has the treasure hunter perk and got the gold recipe and two of the rune boxes on one run.

I haven't done any Auridon quests at all on one of my characters, and Ayrenn is neither in Skywatch nor in front of Vulkhel Guard Bank. I'm not sure where else to look for her.

Try her house, near to the wayshrine in Marbruk (Greenshade)

Thanks! Found her there and now she has mud on her face!

Bumping this up. This thread is amazingly helpful, and would be a shame to drop too far down. This answers the questions I see asked in every New Life quest zone over and over again.

Since there are lots and lots of questions, mostly always the same, I've decided to answer them all in this thread, hoping it gets stickied.

Q. How do I get the event quest?
A. In the Crown Store, there will be, in the "Featured" section, the "New Life Festival Scroll". Just buy it, it's free. After you did it, search for it in your inventory and use it.

- You don't have to go to the crown store to collect the quest. I actually walked straight up to Breda when she first spawned on the server. I later then got the item from the crownstore, and now it is stuck in my inventory. So be wary of this! (Thanks Glaiceana)

Q. WHERE IS BREDA?!
A. Eastmarch, north Kynesgrove Shrine. From Windhelm, go across the bridge and always forward, you can't miss all the players gathering around there.

Q. Where is the double-exp drink?
When facing Breda, on your left.

Q. I failed an achievement What now?
A. Don't worry, those are daily quests, you got 3 more weeks to try it.

Q. How do I fish?
A. In Shadowfen (EP), in the southmost part of the map, there will be two highlighted zones, there, you will find special fishing ponds that can be used with ANY bait. If you need baits, there will be an NPC in Hissmir that sells them.
Suggestion: try to fish in freshly-spawned ponds, so you have a chance to catch something before it despawns from the sheer amount of players.

Q. How do I perform at the castle?!?!?
A. When you get in the right places, there will be a prompt telling you to press E to perform. You don't actually need to be in group to get the Duo achievement (bug?). You can't use your performance kit while another player is using it, so just spam E hoping to get it off before someone else.

Q. Where is Jorunn/Emeric/Ayrenn?
A.
First of all, the three leaders are NOT required to complete the quest, so go ahead and spray whoever you want.
Be wary that mudding the chiefs will give you a small bounty.
- Ayrenn is in the city where the quest is located, in Skywatch Manor, right in front of the entrance (if you have done the previous AD quests), otherwise you'll find her in Vulkihal Guard, where the bank is located, right in front of the entrance.
- Emeric is at his castle in Wayrest, Stormhaven. It's the building near the Wayshrine. You really can't miss it.
- Jorunn is in a small house near the Windhelm enchanter. From the Windhelm Wayshrine, just go a bit North-East. It is on the left of the enchanter.

To spray the leaders, you have to equip the mudball that you drop from the quest reward boxes. Open inventory, press Q, search for them in "Slottable Items", put the mudballs in one of the slots then use it.

Q. Where is Bergama?
A. Alik'r Desert, southmost city of the region.

Q. How do I finish the race? I'm too slow.
A. Spam the lightning dash (for Sorcerers). NBs have insane speed so you're good. Don't know for DKs and Templars, but, as the quest-giver says, a friend can help you to ignite the fires, and you can also use Rapid Manouver or the other variants of the Assault skill to go faster. Also drink stamina pots to run for longer.

Q. Where is the Temple of the Eight Divines?
A. Grahtwood, southernmost region of Tamriel. From Elden Root (center of the region), go north. If you follow the road, you will immediatly encounter a crossroads. You will know it is the one I'm talking about if there is a Wayshrine near, on the right. At the crossroads, go left and always forward. You will know when you'll arrive.

Q. Where is Bethnik?
A. See Glenumbra, westernmost region of Tamriel? Well, just a bit lower than that there is Bethnik. There you go.

Q. Where do I get meat and honey for Bethnik?
A. Just go around and kill everything you find. Wolves for meat, Wasps for honey.

Q. How do I show my "appreciation" to other players?
A. Stay a bit away from them while pointing at them, not much though. There will be a prompt where you will be asked to press E. DO EET.

Q. Where do I finde Bethnik Twice-Spiked Ale?
A. It's a craftable drink that drops from the box given to you as quest reward. Either craft it or let someone else craft it for you.

What are the rewards? What do the Sailor's Grog and High Hrothgar Mint do?
A.
- I will keep this updated, but so far I found a Provisioning or an Enchanting material, One-use-only Juggling Knives, Swallowing Sword or Mud Balls, in pack of 10s, a Wolfsbane Incense and either a Recipe or Skinchanger motif.
- Try it for yourselves!

I will update it when other questions will be found and if I get anything interesting

This was a really nice read, and helpful post

I don't know if anyone has said it yet, but for the Snow Bear Plunge, you can stay mounted and complete the jumps for the quests (if you're trying to do it quickly) It will dismount you but its a lot quicker this way.

driosketch

A couple quirks:

Snow bear plunge, you can skip the first fire and make it to the second bridge jump without ill effect. You can overshoot the bridge jump and hit the snow shelf on the right, but as long as you hit the water it'll count. Go too soon off the water fall and hit a ledge on the way down and it may not count though.

Best to drink the twice spiked ale right after you turn in the ingredients to guarantee it counts. After eating it bugged out and I needed to drink it a second time.

LucasKane_qd

I've completed 8 out of the 9 quests, and now Breda will offer me some of the ones I've already done instead of the one I'm missing: Stonethooth Bash. Bug? What am I missing here?

Edit / Solved: Had tried talking to her 15+ times and she wouldn't give me that one quest. As soon as I wrote here and tried again, she did.

Osteos

I just skimmed through the thread and didn't see this listed, for Betnikh and Grahtwood you do not have to be in the blue circles to get credit/ drops from animals. You can kill wolves, wasps and encroaching wildlife anywhere in the zone.

anadandy

Thanks for this thread!

I don't know if this will be helpful - but some jewelry does count as "armor" (e.g. my ranger's gait necklace) so you won't get the Snow Bear Plunge achievement even if you're starkers.

g0dless420

edit, quoted the wrong post, in regards to Queen Aeryin

Yes she is! Thank you. It's the house right by the wayshrine Queens Residence.

tanek

This is probably obvious to everyone who is not me, but since it took me a couple of days to figure out:

If you want to do a run of all the quests while grouped with friends, have only 1 person pick up the quest from Breda and then share with the rest of the group. That way you don't have the frustration of someone accidentally picking up a different quest than everyone else.

For me it wouldn't come up with the prompt again after the first time. Finally figured out you can also find the Soiled Napkin in your quest items and use it from there

That worked, thanks!

Still need Axes page and Gold recipe

agegarton

Bumping this, as it's super helpful.

Thanks

The Sailor's Grog Drink creates a Drunk effect- turns screen green and distorts sound - This drunken affect was only used in a specific normal Area quest before this event.

The Mints give you a Frozen affect, which covers your character completely white. Not sure if it inflicts Cold as well..

These it have no other affects to stats that I know of

Bumpity-bump for the newer players. The mead is now available as a momento, and there are a lot more prizes, but the details in the first post are still a good guide to the process and achievements for this event.

Ok, just gotta ask.
Did a Charity Writ, and it seemed like it wants me to make 12 pieces of furniture, which I KNOW cannot be true, because that's kinda bull. That's alot. I don't even have enough to make 10!!!
Am I missing something???

Nope that's right. But it is white stuff which is (relatively!) cheap to make. There are also Charity Writs for common green items that you only need to make one of

Right, the white furniture writ will cost you 12 furniture mats of the craft and 24 Imperial style stones, which you can also buy from the craft NPC with the blueprint.

Green is only one item, which makes it relatively cheaper, but unless you are low of furnishing mats, the white ones are still relatively easy to complete.

Oi. Then I'm hoping for more green items, I guess. I don't tend to have alot of stuff on hand, which means I probably have to go buy stuff.. thanks for the info!!

lillybit

Thing I find annoying about it is just how long it takes to craft 12 furnishing because of how ridiculously slow the interface is!

You can use the quest mudballs if you haven't completed the quest yet; you only have to use the festival-box mudballs if you don't have the mudball-throwing quest active.

Q. Where do I finde Bethnik Twice-Spiked Ale?
A. It's a craftable drink that drops from the box given to you as quest reward. Either craft it or let someone else craft it for you.

There is also a keg south of the tables that is full of the ale, which you can use to complete that part; there will be a mission-goal marker over it.

any idea how to make achievement for signals with someone without blinks or speed boosts like templar?

How about rapid manuever or stamina potions?

I looked over the positions of the firepots before I ran it, and have been able to get the achievement on all of the characters I've run it with -- NBs, Sorcs, and Wardens, without using anything but sprint. I eat a Stamina food, then I start at the SE firepot (the one next to the skyshard). Light it, then run up the steps, hang a left, and run straight west to the SW firepot. Light it, run back east to the intersection, turn left, and run north to the NE firepot. Light it, run W, and follow the path as it jogs N and W to light the NW firepot. You should still have about 15% of your Stamina left at this point if you're not a Stamina character, and should have gotten the achievement.
