Excellent!
Thank you; now I know I can squeeze in fifteen minutes.Just had a Reddit question that I couldn't answer, I have always run solo in Witches.3.Use the whistle to summon the “Witchmother's Cauldron" and grant you and your party
How does Party bonus work? Do all members have to have done the quest before grouping and then only one has to call the caldron? Or can a non-quest completed character join an already boosted group?
So far as I recall from last year, only one person had to have completed the quest, and that was the one summoning the cauldron. You used to have to use the cauldron though. I would expect if a non-boosted person joined an already-boosted group, they would remain non-boosted until the cauldron was summoned again. I would not expect the non-summoners to have to have completed the quest to get the boost.Chloekins24 wrote: »Am I too late to get the crow caller? I can’t find it in the Crown Store.
@Chloekins24 You're too early actually!
It doesn't start until 10 AM EST. (About 3 hours, 20 minutes from this posting if that helps.)

ZOS_JessicaFolsomCommunity ManagerHi everyone!
The Witches Festival event is now live on all servers, and will run until November 1.
Just a heads-up that we have identified a small issue on the PS4 servers that we're looking into where the map pins for the quest are not appearing. You can still complete the quest - there are just no map pins on PS4. The other two platforms are fine.
Thank you, and we hope you enjoy the Witches Festival fun!2 -

You can't do it again even if you wanted to. If your character did it last year, attempting to do the intro quest this year will result in an error message.Anne_Firehawk wrote: »Why new furniture recipes when can't use the furniture anyways due to your slot limitation? @ZOS_GinaBruno
Obviously that's why there's a new house available for sale, for you to warehouse all the furnishing from this event.

tuckerpb2✭✭✭i want to thank the company for choosing to punish players that can't afford the newest system and graphic cards. thanks to the requirement to kill bosses at anchors and the fact that there are large groups running around and even at the very min setting the particles from spell graphics can send some people into shock. the boss can die faster then for some people to even load on the screen to do any damage. so thank you for this.0

You can get plunder skulls from any delve boss, world boss, or public or group dungeon boss.

Thanks, yes just had it confirmed that way over on a Reddit post I was trying to answer. Non-Boosted had to drink cauldron after summoned once they joined group.

Everything I've seen so far has it at 3 min for Dolmens and 4~5 for Delve/WB/Public, with some others reffing 7 for as well.

What is the new witches festival furnishing? I’ve only found branches so far and those could be found in nodes to start with....0
-
Jamdarius✭✭✭✭✭So after getting with my newborn toon all the achievements in such a short time few things I have noticed:
1. Cool down time is 3 minutes but when I was in larger groups farms sometimes I didn't drop a plunder skull for more than 6 minutes
2. Waaaaay 2 many branches, saplings, burned trees etc.
3. Cool looking purple furnishing wrapped body, cauldron seems like wood elves one or a lot like it so I kinda see no point to rename an item and make it more expensive to craft
4. Bad way to make a farm event when on monday new dlc is out... somebody should be fired for bringing out such stupid idea - either release event and after it DLC or DLC and event next but now I don't rly care since toon I wanted title on got it and other mains got it from last year
5. nice dropped furnishings but rate is very low increase a bit
6. 250k for a home well i bought it but most ppl cant afford it... make it a reward or something for all the achievements after all its event and newer players want this home but cant buy it as soon as they started, feels like a rip off for newbies0 -

✭✭Way too many burnt branches and trees that are of no use to anyone. If I put all I get into my main house, all the slots will be used up by them. I have had to dump them at one of my other houses just to get them out of my inventory rather than destroy them.Australian on PS4 NA server.

coplannb16_ESO✭✭✭✭After the recent DK nerfs (and Sorc being meta) I used the time I could spare for the event to level a stam Warden which I like. Could have leveled my mSorc too, but meh...
Warden has issues too, but at least it has SOME signature to it. DK is THE souldshriven class after it got wrobeled so hard the last 2 years.
Thanks to doubled xp I got L32 in 3-4 days playing at max 3 hours per session and doing almost exclusively Dolmens and 2-3 runs through nMA.
I got over 100 skulls on her. But only 1 (blue) of the 4 furnishing recipes. Of course my inventory is cluttered with branches and crap... -_-
event could be longer AND I think CWC should not have dropped in midst of it. Well, not playing any CWC until the event is over which was for me yesterday because Iam not at home the next 5 days.
tldr:
nerf Wrobel
XP bonus is nice
event is too short
skull-loot is crapmax level: mDK, stamBlade, stamSorc, magPlar, mDen, stamDen, magBlade, stamCro

# of mules: 4 (FULL)
maxed bank: FULL -_-
Stop the grind! Get rid of stupid events and daily-quest gallore. Get rid of "have a chance of 1 in a million to get a piece of 1 in 30 to get a stupid motif or pet... wtf..."
And at this point just remove all classes and have everyone choose their set of skills. then balance accordingly to skills always used vs. skills never used.0 -
