It'll be a Stibbo companion that you can direct to stand on plates and pull levers and maybe even split into more Stibbos for doing more complex puzzles.

He'll never have any burden's to carry, be dumb as a rock and wont be a combat companion.

I would love to have a Stibbons houseguest. Poor guy!

According to this its an upcomming one

All I’m hoping for is a nice tan, you cannot give a tan to a Nord because no matter how dark you make them in character creation they always come out paler in game. There are plenty of them with tan skin in the game world but for some strange reason the character creator won’t let you do it.

I can make my Nord look like a walking bush, molten lava, even electricity, why can’t I just give them a tan?

What mystery reward?

If we told you, it wouldn't be a mystery.

M'aiq is the new Companion. He won't help you fight anything, but will offer words of wisdom:

"M'aiq wonders why Mirri gets so upset about killing some bugs but not others. He caught her squashing sand roaches the other day. What did they ever do to her? What did a torchbug ever do for her? M'aiq thinks that Mirri should ponder this."

"M'aiq would prefer not to help you fight that dragon. He thinks it was better for the dragons when they were invisible. M'aiq will write a letter to the Head Dragon to recommend that they all become invisible again."

"M'aiq likes cheese. Bastian does not like cheese. M'aiq does not trust Bastian."

Blackwood on sale? -50% Yes, ZOS? 😜

Now why would the Blackwood mystery reward which can only be obtained by doing things in Blackwood rewards you with the expansion when you would have to have it to even participate?

I predict it will be 15 crown crates.

Or a free month of ESO plus for all people (and current plus owners get it added to the end of their sub)

I'd be down for that.

One of the other threads got me to thinking, ZOS doesn't realize how little they could do and get away with pleasing us...

ZOS: "Starting with the next update, you'll be able to get Jewelry Hireling mails, and deconstructing rings and necklaces will have a chance to give you a refined plating instead of just grains."

Players: "YAY!!!"

It surely won’t be anything that devalues ESO+ or is worthless to subscribers (permanent craftbag, free DLC, etc.).

Sweetwater Cascades looks awesome but I’d be really surprised if that was the reward since, as also pointed out, there will be a house as the Q4 event ticket reward. Also, I don’t think we would get BOTH a grand house and the cascading boxes. Another companion would seem to me to be the most likely possibility, but have all past rewards appeared on the PTS first? 🤔

Maybe finally a group mount? There is an option in pts now for how companions will interact with your group mount.

Paulytnz

My guess is a Costume or New Motif/Style Set since there seems to be no new one for this event........

Apart from that I don't know, considering you guys are saying something big - maybe some crowns lol but I doubt that!

I doubt a group mount because shouldn’t it tie-in somehow with Blackwood? And is there a reason to prefer your companion to ride double than on two separate mounts as it is now? To me, being able to select mounts each for you and your companion seems much cooler.

I know people are guessing things that have already been datamined at least… 🤔

I don't disagree that it would be disappointing. And don't really see a need for it at all, but I know there has been talk about it coming at some point and at least some are excited for it. I just didn't notice that option in the last pts in the menu and there is no group mount in pts now, so I'm wondering why that is there now. As far as tying into blackwood, it could be a wamasu or something native to the Blackwood region.

You have to think big, they would not keep it a mystery if were smaller then the Cascading Bounty Boxes which I should remind you comes with an Ogrim target dummy which would be perfect for Doomchar Plateau or Agony's Ascent.

I have come to understand it alongside a Notable Home would be a pretty big reward and much larger then Last Year but if it is not a player home then what could it be? it being a mount would be even more strange given many of us are going to get a new mount the moment the event starts, people believe it might be a third companion, possible but how would it work give the existing companions require you to complete a quest to unlock them, would this mystery third companion be usable at the moment you get out of character creation or would it require the other two companion quests to be completed first?

Maybe it is a Crown Store Gift similar to the other one we had were we got the Vampiric Dragon Imp and Mace of Molag Bal.

WhyMustItBe

I'm thinking it might be something like 5k Seals of Endeavor, since a lot of people were kinda upset that doing them every day didn't earn enough to get at least an apex reward during the run of a single crate season. But a new house would be cooler.

Whatever it is everyone better get out there and earn it. Can you imagine if we didn't get to 100%? LOL!

Who all read these in his voice?

I know I ain't alone!

Now what would really be awesome is if they gave you a housing token that could be used to buy any house in the game… But that would impact their future sales too much.

Id like sweetwater cascades but will settle for a new companion

Pro tip: Dont mention sweetwater cascades for free it upsets some people.

I am thinking it will be the Dead-lands DLC will be free. This will boost the sales of Blackwood as it will be on sale.

That's actually a good option I hadn't thought of. The precedence is there with Murkmire and the daily log in rewards.

Doesn't give ESO+ members anything though and I'm guessing ZoS wants to keep them happy.

Why would you assume that

Because DLCs are included with ESO+.

Missed the joke

I can buy it with discount and join. 😉

Tbh after elsweyr box I won't expect anything as grand as people suggesting, a furniture piece or a guest at the very best case as we're already getting "free" house later. They obviously might get us something decent but I'd better have tamed expectations from their promo event.

Luke_Flamesword

I wish that was Sweetwater Cascades, but I don't think that they will be give us house placed in another chapter - bigger chances we have for Chapel one but this will angry people who spent a lot of crowns on it :P

New companion is possible - it's too much work for just a event, but they can put it in crown store, so it can be always buyable. Other option is some really cool mount. I don't think it will anything smaller like costume, because there is no point to create hype and then throw some trash just to angry players. It's must be something more special.

I feel like there not being a companion with the DLC was a surprise absence. My guess is the reward is a companion who is a popular npc. Eveli? Fits with the theme. Caldwell is likely the most popular.

That was my thought as well, a popular NPC as a companion or house guest. The armory assistant for free mentioned above is a also a good guess. We'll have to wait and see!

Watch it be the 2-Player mount…

I thought they had tried that and scrapped the idea?

It might be fun but I don't see any practical use for it and the difference in lag between my computer and my daughter's computer upstairs would mean that we would set off together but one of us would end up flat on the floor five miles back down the road... again: fun but impractical.
