Are you embarrassed to wear your Nordic Bath Towel in public? Body hair, scars, bad tattoos, or other body image issues? Got a little jiggle in the caboose, or a keg rather than a 6 pack? Well I urge you to shatter those fears, and join in the festivities! The Snow Bear Plunge encourages everyone of all body types, from mom bod to balding banker bod! Anyone can strip down to their bath towel for this festival! Share your festive Nordic Bath Towel pictures!

    There was a whole bunch of users stacked at one of the bonfires last night dancing alongside the NPC's and others playing music! I'll have to upload my screenshot later tonight, it was priceless! Easily my favorite NLF quest!

    If you don't, you can often find them super cheap from a guild trader.

    So, among the Nords it is popular to wander bare-chested? Nevertheless, some High elves prefer 'Altmeric Bath Towels' and elegant glasses of wine instead of rough mugs of ale.

    As I log into each character to do the quests I put on my Nord bath towel and then dyed it for each character.
    One has hot pink, another almost neon orange and another bright red.
    Have 3 more characters to do today and they'll each get their own colored nord bath towel.

    And I'll keep them all in it for the duration of the event.

    Did that last year. This year, nothing but jewelry for the entire festival.

    Doing it without any gear but jewelry? That sounds unnecessarily painful, whyyyy?

    I initially took off all armor for the achievement during the first festival. I got the towel costume near the end and I just wore it on all my characters for the festival last year. A couple of them missed the achievement because I couldn't tell they were wearing armor. This year, no armor for the duration of the festival. BTW, I do carry weapons, so I still have one five piece bonus.

    I... haven't found a towel yet.
    I didn't even know that was a thing.

    Besides, I'd feel over-dressed.

    TBF it doesn't look like a towel. More like a bunch of animal skins tied together with rope.

    OK, here you go.

    I noticed the Nordic Bathing Towel looked a bit like petals.

    So, I dyed it Hyacinth (with a little Starlit Gold - but that doesn't really matter), went to Murkmire and stood my character next to a Canna Lily.

    I then called my boyfriend (who doesn't play the game) over and told him I had fashioned a dress out of the flower.

    He believed me...

    Actually, it would be quite nice if you could really do that...

    She looks adorable! Very cute dye job, and you're right, the texture and color are spot on!
