This is the official discussion thread for the "Celebrate the Jester's Festival" blog article.

Once a year, troupes of jesters and fools gather and encourage the people of Tamriel to toss aside their notions of status, honor, and class in a celebration of absurdity. Performers roam the streets mocking the rich and famous, towns celebrate with a variety of traditional festive pranks, and guests are encouraged to participate in silly games to win joke prizes.

Read our announcement for details on the dates, rewards, and more!

    Can we do each faction daily once a day per character (as in 3 dailies per toon per day) or is it only available to the starting faction a toon belongs to (only one daily per day per toon)?

    The official article doesn't mention whether there will be double XP or not. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom , will there be double XP?

    I'm excited for the event. I love that you've put festivals in the game throughout the year.

    I am confused by the article however. There are several topics that are not clarified:
    • Will double xp be a part of this event?
    • Are new recipes among the awards granted? Several unofficial sources list PTS recipes, including a max health, stam, and stam recovery recipe.
    • Can we do one quest per character per day? Or one quest per jester/alliance per day per character (i.e. 3 per day on each character)?

    Thanks @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

    They forgot to mention the double xp during the new life festival but clarified it later. Maybe they forgot to mention it again.

    Can you get the quest from all three of the jesters each day (i.e. three quests a day) or is it just one quest per day?

    The lack of information about the XP bonus and other details in the article is a repeat of the same problem that occurred with the New Life Festival article.

    It's nice that there's a pretty detailed list of crown store items that will be available and yet, "A host of fun new consumables" just floats there... is there a list of these "fun new consumables"?

    It's probably just an honest mistake. Frustrating that it happened twice in a few months, but its not the end of the world. I do appreciate the clarification that double XP will again be a thing.

    Still, the article does leave a lot of questions open. How many quests can we do per day? What are the consumables? Why are the recipes not listed? I guess we'll figure it out when the festival goes live, but I was hoping for more from this article.
