Witch's Festival Start

susmitds · October 2016

Don't forget to get some training gear, guys. All the farming will get you a huge amount of XP. Training will multiply that too.

AnviOfVai · October 2016

I'm pretty excited for this and will be attending later on in the day!

thank you, still dunno why devs always use ONE format for timing things.

Yeah, it's not like there's some Universal Time Coordination that they could use, which everyone would understand.

Oh wait...

So will the start be seamless or will there be a server restart?

Can't wait to log in later and get started on my master plan I've been devising over the last week or so!

Gonna quickly get all them motifs and chievo's! hehe

@Zenzuki spill the beans.....

Oh, I just sat down with some maps and sorted out some rotation pathing of overland and delve bosses I'm gonna run that provides the most proficient use of time to reward!

We obviously have more time for this event then the cake week, but there's a lot of motif pieces, recipes and skulls to collect to get all the chievo's complete before the festival is over. I don't want any loose ends laying around until next frostfall! So I'm gonna be sure to get that whole tab checked off efficiently and quickly!

Then I'll goof off (and maybe power-level some alts) the rest of the time!

It should be seamless, perhaps with minor downtime which would only affect the Crown Store. (I'm not sure if the Crown Store requires it's own downtime just to add items.)

This one she recalls waiting for the anniversary event to start.

The quest item just suddenly appeared in the store. For a short while this one recalls the quest NPC he did not appear but then he sort of faded into being and the cakefest it began!

... but it will finish later on Nov1 by the same time difference from EDT to GMT.

ZOS_GinaBruno · October 2016

There won't be any downtime to start the event. It will just happen!

Can this be a more common thing?

AlienSlof · October 2016

Looking forward to it!

This cauldron thingy that turns you undead - I'm a vampire and already undead - does it make me undeader?

ArchMikem · October 2016

Also one more quick question. Can a crown xp scroll stack with the polymorph xp bonus, or no?

@ArchMikem Last year (for the anniversary event) they did. BUT if you're doing the actual math I think it was a bit wonky as I recall.

Here is last years post about xp stacking: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/258018/eso-anniversary-event-xp-buff-stacking

SantieClaws · October 2016

Khajiit would like to know if it is possible to remove the polymorph but keep the buff?

This one she would like to stand out in a world full of the indentical zombies if possible.

To be crystal clear, below is what the Witches Festival XP buff will stack with:

Alliance War Keep buff
Crown Experience Scroll OR Psijic Ambrosia
ESO Plus
Grouping buff
Rings of Mara buff
Training XP buff

I was going to suggest you make a sticky post like we had for the anniversary buff... @ZOS_GinaBruno

vamp_emily · October 2016

You know last time when ZOS had free cake, I didn't understand why everyone was so freaking happy. I kept on thinking.. ok what am I missing, Is there something in the cake that is making players cuckoo.

Then after the event was over I then realized you can use the cake as often as you liked. OMG! I missed out, I only used the cake one time.

This will not happen to me again.. I want double XP

Turn me into undead I don't care.. just give me double XP!

@ZOS_GinaBruno is there still an overall cap of 185%? Does the cap revert to 85% after the event? (I was never sure when the Anniversary Event ended whether it went back down to 85% again or not.) Is the XP-per-event cap back up to 30% of XP-to-level (from 10%) like it was during the Anniversary Event?

(Sorry for all the questions

) Thanks!

Since it's a memento you can't activate it within Cyrodiil, but you can activate it outside of Cyrodiil, then port in and have the buff be active.
