PTS Update 21 - Feedback Thread for Anniversary Jubilee

WhiteCoatSyndrome

I did a couple in Vlastarus and got boxes for each, haven't tried any of the boards.

I did discover you can preview the style pages before buying them, which is nice (note that you have to select each page individually to preview them, they do NOT preview all at once I just turned them all on for screenshot purposes):

"Week 3" (Abnur Tharn): Cyrodiil dailies 1/30 10:00am EST – 1/31 9:59am EST.

I did the 9 dailies in Cropsford, and received 9 Anniversary Jubilee Gift (Cyrodiil) boxes. Dropped 2 Abnur Tharn style sheets. Had to leave Cyrodiil half way through doing these quests so that I could eat some more Jubilee cake and keep the buff going.

Did a scouting mission. Didn't get a Jubilee crate. So, I guess battle board quests don't qualify.

I guess that makes sense, since the scouting missions are not daily quests. You can do them multiple times a day. It would be interesting to know, if the bounty quests counted, since you can do each one only once per day. But that will be hard to test on PTS.

I don't think the diversity of limited-time event ticket purchase opportunities is a good fit for the low use-them-or-lose-them cap on how many tickets one can hold. A LOT of buyer's remorse can be expected.

The Sai Sahn chest looks good and tastefully done on the Female models.

Also like that these are pieces and not a complete one piece outfit. I for one would like to see costumes broken down like this for more player choices in appearance.

This was my concern. I think the Sai Sahan style is probably going to be the most popular, yet there are only 4 chances per character/day to get a page (3 if you don't do trials, 2 if you don't have the DLC for Urgalarg's pledge). Yes, multiple characters increase those odds, but I'm sure I'm not the only person without multiple trial ready characters.

Does anyone know what ALL those berries are for? This Indirk mount berry system is getting really confusing. Which ones will we need to buy? All of them?

There are a total of 4 different berries for each evolution. This quarter, the Dawnwood Indrik evolution is available, and the first berry, the Dawnwood Berry of Bloom, became available with the Midyear Mayhem Encore event in January.

The next Dawnwood Berry (I don't know the name) will become available during the next event this quarter (I think it's the Morrowind Anniversary event). The Dawnwood Berry of Bloom will also be available. During the next event (Dark Brotherhood/Thieves Guild Anniversary), the next Dawnwood Berry will become available (with the previous 2 also still being available. Then, the final event of this quarter, the Jester's Festival, will see the 4th Dawnwood Berry becoming available, with the previous 3 still for sale.

You will need to buy one (and just one) of EACH Dawnwood Berry in order to evolve a Nascent Indrik into the Dawnwood Indrik.

Then, if you want other evolutions, you will need to buy 1 of each of the 4 feathers for each evolution, in addition to 1 of each of the 4 distinct berries associated with each evolution.

I haven't been able to test the PTS the last few days (was hoping to get into Cyrodiil), but I'm going to do my best to get in tonight to test week 5 and see if all dailies have a chance to drop all pages or if they're still tied to their specific daily.

Interesting that the scouting mission didn't count (I didn't know it was repeatable). Looks like most players will be doing the town dailies for the boxes.

I do think Sai Sahan's pages will be the rarest, considering they'll be much harder to farm. I'm hoping that drop rates are adjusted to incorporate how many of each daily the average player is able to complete.

At the moment on the PTS the Impresario has 4 different "Luminous" berries on sale. You need all four of those Luminous berries to morph a Nascent Indrik into a shiny, new, golden Luminous Indrik.

The other berry she has on sale is the "Dawnwood Berries of Bloom". That gives players a second chance to get the last of the 4 different types of Dawnwood berries that are on sale in the Q1 events. Again, you need to collect all four different Dawnwood berries to morph a Nascent Indrik into a Dawnwood Indrik.

thank you for that info. I wasn't aware of the Dawnwood vs. Luminous Indrik. Now it all makes sense!

The good news (such as it is) is that there are only eight pages rather than a full set of fourteen. So with one character running two Pledges a day, you have 28 chances (14 for Sai's week, 14 for the fifth combo week), which will hopefully allow most people to grab a couple and fill out any empty style slots with tickets. See Edit II.

EDIT:
Just did some Writs on the PTS, and the boxes are now (Tamriel) instead of (Crafting). Promising but requires more testing.

EDIT II:
@anadandy You're in luck!



I got one of Sai's pages off a Crafting Writ for week 5. Assuming all the dailies drop the same boxes in week 5, you have as many chances as you can squeeze dailies into a day for that week.

The down side is, if all the Companions' pages are dropping then there's only a 1 in 4 chance of it being Sai's. Also, the drop rate seems to be kind of terrible - that is the only Companions' page I got out of 24 Writs.

"Week 5": 2/1 10:00am EST onwards:

Did 28 Crafting dailies. Received Anniversary Jubilee Gift (Tamriel) boxes for them all. One contained a chromium grain. Also dropped 3 style pages - Abnur Tharn's Jerkin, Lyris' Pauldrons and the Prophet's Britches.

I completed Delve Dailies for Clockwork City, Murkmire, Wrothgar, Vvardenfell and Summerset. I received an Anniversary Jubilee Gift (Tamriel) crate for each of those five quests. No style pages dropped from them.

Did an Anvil Bounty Board quest and Bolgrul's Undaunted daily, and this time both of them did give me an Anniversary reward. I did these quests in "week 2" and didn't receive an Anniversary reward off either of them.

Did a Mages Guild daily and received an Anniversary reward.

Did two of Jee-Lar's Murkmire prep quests. Received an Anniversary reward for both of them.

Did the 9 daily quests for Cropsford. I received an Anniversary Jubilee Gift (Tamriel) crate for each of those 9 quests. One dropped a Prophet's Staff style sheet, which was previously available in "Week 1" for crafting dailies.

I did two Cyridiil bounty quests on the same character on the same day. Received an anniversary reward for both of them.

I did a Cyrodiil scouting mission and received no Anniversary reward.

So, where the patch notes say for Week 5, "All daily quests in the game," it looks like they mean it.

Thank you so much for testing this! I didn't get a chance to get onto the PTS to check, really appreciate it!

Thanks for your testing. I tested it with the crafting dailies, Bolgrul's quest, and the 2 Ashlander quests, all of which dropped an Anniversary Box (Tamriel). I'm really pleased that my earlier concern that only the same boxes would drop from the same dailies (so you could only get Sai's pages from pledges/trials even in week 5) was unwarranted. Giving a week where any daily (even ones not previously covered in the previous weeks) would yield a new box wherein any of the companion pages could drop is welcome, and helps alleviate concerns that event tickets would need to be purchased in order to get them all.

I did get Sai Sahan's chest page on PTS - I'm certain I won't have that same luck on live.
