Can anyone who participated on the pts link me to what the drops look like? Maybe even the recipes that were included? There was so much info on the witches festival but none for this one really that I could find atleast

    Thanks for that. It does a great job showing what will be for sale in the crown store and explaining the event and achievements but doesnt describe the rewards other then the occasional motif drop. Guess ill just be waiting a few more days to see whats up.

    *Gasp*

    The Nordic Bath Towel and the Hood pics are mine! As someone that hardly ever takes good pics, I'm so flattered <3

    There is also a different, simpler hood without all the embroidered stuff, if anyone is interested. This is how it looks like with no dyes:
    yCwLmsr.png
    The default color seems to be the new dye, New Life Cerulean.

    The motif that drops from the containers you get from the quests is called "Skinchanger", and you use an item called "Wolfsbane Incense" to craft it.
    Check it out: http://eso.mmo-fashion.com/skinchanger/

    Also, the dye you unlock, "New Life Cerulean", can look kinda pretty and I just noticed I have it unlocked on the PTS, unlike I previously thought. It is awarded by participating on all the cultural celebrations. Here's some pics of how it looks like applied to different stuff:

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    @Abeille - very cool that your pictures are now THE pictures. Do you remember if the nordic bath towel was a collectible costume or a disguise you equip through inventory?

    Arguably a towl wouldn't be much of a disguise, but the wording on the website was a bit ambiguous.

    It is a costume that goes into your collectibles. You can dye it! I have some pics of it dyed.

    Disregard the frown, I was going for an impression of Tinkerbell and I remember her as a very angry fairy :P

    Also, all collectibles I got (this costume and the two hoods) came in containers that could be traded with other people, like the masks in the Witches' Day Festival.

    How do you get the containers with the collectables? Are they loot drops from group content or can it be soloed?

    Stuff goes up for sale in the crown store on the 15th, so I imagine that's when it starts.

    There is apparently a double xp keg - though khajiit was too busy throwing mudballs to notice this yes during her own testing.

    Are the different events (e.g. Fish Boon Feast, Lava Foot Stomp, etc) all going to be available the whole time? Or are they separate things to do on set days?

    I'm only going to be able to play for the first four days of this event :-(.

    So do the runeboxes with the collectibles drop similar to the masks for Halloween (delve, dolmen, and overland bosses)?

    Also, I just looked at all the recipes plus motif chapters and...**gulp**.... My poor inventory is still suffering from all the recipes and motifs from Halloween. REALLY wish they'd introduce stacking for these.

    You get a reward box for each festival quest you complete. All the quests can be completed once each day by each character.

    But some of the items have to be random drops, no (thinking recipes and motif chapters)? Or if you do every daily quest does that mean you are guaranteed all collectibles?

    You are guaranteed a box but the contents of that box are random items yes - which may include motif pages, hats, consumable emote things (mudballs and fire breathing) or even the possibility of an everlasting version of the mudball.

    This one she hopes with enough apprentices and enough days this one she will be able to get most of what she wants.

    So you can go through this entire festival and not get what you want. :/ At least with the Halloween event I got everything just by doing a little grinding.

    Thanks for the info.

    Khajiit she did the quests about 3 or 4 times and was able to get the hat she wanted and the eternal mudball.

    If there was an eternal fire breathing thingy khajiit she did not get that.

    It seemed yes like a good balance - and the hat and the eternal mudball were tradable. You get more than one reward in each box.

    The one thing that irked khajiit is that there was no quest for the Imperials.
