Hello,

I'd like to know if there is an exact date when the Witches Festival 2018 will start. Can't find that information anywhere but I see everyone talking about the new Dremora Motif. Don't wanna miss it since it's the only holiday event I haven't completed.

Thanks!

    There are some crown exclusive halloween items from October 18 - Nov. 1, which is close to last year so I'm thinking around this time.
    Yeah, my guess is it might begin on the 18th. That's a Thursday.

    If they add a new motif they should make the Hollow jack only appear for those that do not have it yet else they are going to be over supplied on the guild stores. Or make a golden book that is rare that unlocks the motif account wide. That way they can keep adding motifs to the event without the older motifs clogging up the guild stores or dying out.

    The first year it started on the 18th, the 2nd year it was the 20th. Hard to say when for this year. Mebbe it was earlier the first year because it was the first seasonal event for ESO.

    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Seems like they wait until the last second to announce these events.

    A new motif is coming ... but it’s not crown store exclusive and you can earn it in-game.

    I hope they do it soon. I have missed the previous events because of life events. I was hoping to do it this year. I want the little house ;)

    None of us is getting any younger, you know.

    Witches Festival has been on PTS for the past couple of weeks along with five other events to test the new format.

    The event is most assuredly coming, as indicated by the numerous announcements in the News and Announcements section. :)

    @richo262 Actually on a previous PTS they already announced the new motif and explained how you will get it in game. It's the Dremora motif. They also said they are reducing the drop rate for the Hollowjack motif this year.

    If you want to achieve higher rewards it will not be easy, at first. Never give up on yourself IRL or in-game!
