Looked in the usual places and couldn't find the beginning of this quest. Is the Witches Festival not available for testing yet?

    First place I looked. Only 'The Reach' is in featured and only a housing quest is available in the other section.

    look at the starter zones and you will see the event icon. (Glenumbra, Auridon, Stonefalls) IDK if anything is there though cause i have no wayshrines next to it and didn't want to run all the way.

    I ran through Davon's Watch looking for a starter quest but found nothing. Looked in the Crown Store too for the quest starter, nothing there either. I then ran to the witches cave in Stonefalls, but I can't get in and nothing is outside. No luck so far.

    The quest starter is not in the Crown Store to activate the quest. I have been to all the locations to start it and there is nothing there. But, bosses are dropping Plunder Skulls so at least we have that. I have only picked up 15 so far and nothing new that wasn't there last year

    That's strange. The bosses are giving the skulls without the quest active?

    What kind of loot are you getting? Are the plunder skulls dropping the same old Hollowjack motif (ugh, I hope not).

    Anyways, thanks for the new info!

    I -really- hope they change the loot to new goodies before the actual Witches Festival hits live. No one who participated last year will be excited if we just get last years tired, old loot. (I personally still have bags full of some of this stuff.) :neutral:

    I don't have an issue with them dropping some of last years stuff but it won't be much fun if they don't give you anything new - I still have 1000 hollowjack style stones from last years live event.

    Didn't they say they'll be super rare since they're going to be part of the same loot table as everything else?

    I think the average was 1 runebox per 100 plunder skulls last year. And with 4 masks now, it'll be a while before you see the new ones.

    Well, my point is it isn't going to be fun getting stacks and stacks of old motifs, old recipes etc ... I don't mind the rareness of the new masks, I mind the regularity of the old loot.

    They won't be old for people who joined the game since the event was last run. Would be nice if they added new stuff too, but not in the sense that if you didn't participate last year then tough you aren't getting a Witchmother's Brew recipe or the Hollowjack motif.

    Sold all of the last years Witches Festival stuff in the last couple of months (with the exception of 100 Marbles). Made a lot of gold, glad I sold them when I did.

    Witchmother's Potent Brew is still listing at 15-25K and Marbles still listing at 100 -200 each.

    Everyone who was able to sure. But eliminating last year's loot entirely isn't necessary. I, for one, switched from Xbox One to PS4 within the last year, and while I collected everything last year, I have none of it now. Not that I really NEED it, but there's surely new players coming in at any given time who missed out. Keep them available, but at least lessen the drops and heighten drops for new loot. That way people who missed out still have a chance for last year's, but it's not so overly common that people who did do it aren't bogged down with even more of the same items and can still sell them off in the guild stores too while still having incentive to do the event again.
