First time doing New Life, dont have any previous rewards. How can I maximize rewards daily?

naturebased

Anyone have a game plan i can follow to get the most of out new life every day?

Linaleah

do every single daily on multiple characters. that's pretty much it. the one thing you CAN do to make it easier on yourself is invest some time into fishing for the event fish (or buy stacks) so that you don't have to keep fishing every day and can just turn in the quest at the npc.

Just do the quests on as many characters as you have time for.

And keep in mind that most of the collectibles will be dirt cheap by the end of the Festival.

Are all the daily quests gotten from Breda? Once you complete one does she gives another? So i guess I can try to do all dailies and then kill a boss for event tix.

Yeah, if you go back to her, she gives you a new quest until she gave you all 9.

I'd suggest grabbing a friend so you can grab all the pertinent wayshrines on every toon you intend to do the dailies on. That will make future dailies a lot easier (don't have to hunt around for a wayshrine or someone to port you).

Something else you can do to speed things up is to throw any extra fish you fish for the fishing quest in your bank - as they pile up you can just grab what you need to turn in for future quests.

I second the fishing suggestion. Note, there are two areas to fish in, use the one that is farther East, it is usually less crowded. You pull a fish on almost every cast, but its a pain to keep chasing the holes as they get played out. Anyway, pick up 30 or so from each type the first day.

Also, there is a fishing achievement, for catching a certain number of each fish, usually getting that will hold you over for a few days until the initial rush dies down. Then you can fish some more in the middle of the event.

Make sure to unlock all the Wayshrines as most events are near a wayshrine. Travel to friends or guildmates in the zone you need do. Chanves are, they are at the Wayshrine you need. Try to get the various achievements early. The Speed Challenge in Alikir is the trickiest to get, a speed boost potion helps with that one.

Don't chase the fishing holes as they dry up. They respawn in about 5-10 seconds, its more efficient to just wait them out.

Ardaghion

If you have enough fish and you bank them, other characters can grab them to turn in for the quest. I still have quite a bit in the bank from previous festivals and will marathon fish on the weekends.

I must say that I got complete set of Skinchanger Motifs from guild, I logged in and whined that dailies take too much time, so the emails with motif scrolls just started to appear in Inbox. Since besides tickets, that was the only thing I'm interested in really.
It is nice when the Guild bros are in the festive mood.
So yeah, I'm pretty much done.

In your case, I'm not sure what you are trying to get, I completed mine plan with the help of guild.

No it is not in a way you think it is. The quest is to catch 3 blue festive fishes, but the fish pools are not standard, those are festive pools that are rigged with very high chance so you will be done in like 5 minutes.

It's already a lot less rewarding this year since the boxes only drop skinchanger motifs unlike last year which dropped all dlc dungeon motifs..

Before running the dailies in endless cycles, look at the loot in the announcements and decide what you want. Because many of these items are years old, people don't want them at all. Some of those old outfits (Nordic Bathers Towel) will probably drop to under 1000 gold.

So it might make sense to spends some time doing other profitable things, earn some gold, and buy a lot of the stuff from guild stores. You WILL get bored running the same ten quests every day.

When doing the quest on Belkarth, you can kill wolves and wasps outside the white circles and it'll still count.

Plus, this year - they added more wasps, wasp nests, and each animal kill gives both meat required.

I still have all the leftover fish from last year, when I got the achievements on several characters.

As soon as my necro gets the achievement, I'm just going to use up the ones in my bank.

Few advices:

• get the EasyTravel addon (https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1454-EasyTravel.html), it will help greatly with porting to the different locations and especially back to Brenda. If you're a member of a few bigger guilds, it's almost guaranteed that there will be plenty people in each location for porting
• the first time when you fishing do the achievement (5-5-5 fish), so then your fish supply will be solved for the following 4 day as well
• for the lighting the fire achievement in Alik use major expedition (rapid or acceleration) and you will need sprint too! Also you don't have to wait for the whole lighting fire animation ending, you can start going to the next fire while the animation still ongoing
• for the mud ball achievement you can look up the possible locations for the targets here: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Mud_Ball_Miscreant
• in stonefall you can buy the inn room and then just port there and leave the room for the dancing in the inn. skywatch in auridon also has an inn if you do not yet have the wayshrine.

I think you're confusing New Life Festival with Anniversary Event (April).

With the nonstop events this year I'm having trouble remembering which events include what activities.

For sure under 1000 gold. It took me most of the year to get rid of all of my runeboxes from last year, and most of them sold for 150-250 gold. 1000 is... optimistic.

No, s/he's correct. HOWEVER, the only reason there were dungeon motifs at New Life last year is because that was part of the response to the Undaunted Event not working last year.
