    Despite the issue of having to spam E for an extended period, I really love the Alcaire event.

    Side note: I think I've doubled my screenshot library during the New Life Festival.

    That said I like the story behind the Signal Fire in Bergama best and I like the animations in Snow Bear plunge and castle charm a lot.

    For me it was a decision between the Snow Bear Plunge and the mud balls.

    I had to go with the mud, though.

    Snow Bear Plunge, because a) it's a Nord tradition, b) t's in the same zone as Breda and c) it doesn't have anything to do with Argonians or filthy elves.

      I like the Snow Bear Plunge, but I give the edge to Mud Ball Merriment because it's pretty hilarious listening to the snooty ambassadors bickering over dinner and hear what they say when they get pegged.

      Also throwing things at people is fun.

      The dancing and performing would be up there if it weren't for the E spam issues. And my Orc prefers the Betnikh one because eating is the thing she's best at. And belching is fun.

      I really like that they added the freezing, my cat looks so cute when she has that debuff.

      Mudball is fun too but since we can't target NPCs who where recently hit that quest is anoying from time to time.

      Other or None for me. I'm sure I would enjoy them, unfortunately I messed up & now can't be involved in shenanigans. =(
      I abandoned the quest when I came back on after maintenance today & remembered there where achievements for new life festival. So I try to re-read the scroll & it prompts 'You already completed this quest'. Don't know what to do...

      If you return to Breda, she should have a daily quest arrow over her head. This reappears every day until the end of the festival. If the arrow is not there, then you will need to contact the help desk.

      Snow Bear Plunge and Mudball are the most fun to me, but after completing the quests some days in a row I appreciate the lockpick one since it's the quickest to complete xD

      All quests are really fun though.

      This so much! I enjoyed the Snow Bear Plunge and the Mudball the most when I first did them, but after four days on three characters, the lockpicking one is my favorite because it is by far the fastest done. lol

      No quest marker unfortunately. I'm not running around that swamp looking for her. Put in a ticket, trying to speak to a real person though. Just got an automated reply saying
      'Due to the complicated nature of ESO’s questing system, Customer Support tools are limited and unable to manipulate all quests. Nor are we able to reset quests that have already been completed.'

      Not looking good =/

      Well, I see part of your problem.

      She's just north of the Kynesgrove Wayshrine. Not hard to find at all, and definitely not in a swamp.

      Trial of Five-Clawed Guile
      I've gotta say the Trial of the Five-Clawed Guile. It's very easy, at least if you're good at picking locks, and the distance from the wayshrine to the event is minimal. I disagree with the people who prefer the Snow Bear Plunge. Even though it's in the same zone as Breda, there is a lot of travel time between each area.

      Also, the fishing one isn't that bad if you catch a bunch at one time...

      As someone else noted, other events may have more interesting stories, but Mud Ball Merriment is my pick for two reasons.
      1. Standing in the room with the ambassadors and listening to their dialogue as people pelt them with mud.
      2. Doing the achievement associated with the quest.

      Oh yeah, I had a lot of fun on a couple characters throwing mud balls at the leaders, and then trying to not get caught.

      Not Lava foot dance because if you go in the fire pit you cant get back out unless you change the jump button or port out because you can't jump out when A makes you just dance again lol. For console anyway.
