If you return to Breda, she should have a daily quest arrow over her head. This reappears every day until the end of the festival. If the arrow is not there, then you will need to contact the help desk.

No quest marker unfortunately. I'm not running around that swamp looking for her. Put in a ticket, trying to speak to a real person though. Just got an automated reply saying
'Due to the complicated nature of ESO’s questing system, Customer Support tools are limited and unable to manipulate all quests. Nor are we able to reset quests that have already been completed.'

Not looking good =/

It sounds like you may have been trying to find Gentle-Heart in Hissmir. Were you trying to complete the Fish Boon Feast? If so, you need to fish for a Shadowfen Creeping Leech, a Black Marsh Cucumber, and a Histmuck Blobfin. The fish areas are located in Shadowfen; one is South of the special crafting station Hatchling's Crown and the other is somewhere east of Percolating Mire. Once you have caught one of each kind of fish, you travel to Hissmir and deliver the fish to Gentle-Heart and then back to Breda.

None. The festival is boring and tedious just for the loot. I bought half the items from guild stores to spare myself the boredom and time so i can do other things.

Mud Ball Merriment

i went with mudball, because... well... mudball!

snowbear is fun too (WTB that cannonball emote :P)

special mention for the castle one where you get to juggle knives and breath fire too lol.

overall more fun that not. I just kinda stopped doing them ALL, EVERY day, but thats more because i got most of the motiffs and collectables that i want already :P

Snow Bear Plunge

Enjoyed the mudball, cannonball, charm, and sprint. Of course I very much disliked the fishboon and stonetooth bash because having to fish, eww and running around trying to kill all the same things everyone else is trying to kill, PITA.

Overall, I had fun with the event. Lots of funny emotes and some holiday festiveness with the themes.

I still can't figure out what that fancy fish drink is supposed to do. Is all it does tell you what kind of water your looking at and not even what baits to use? Does it boost the rng for better fish? The tip is still quite unclear.

Trial of Five-Clawed Guile

Fast, simple, when you do all quests on 4 chars every day at the end you really appreciate speed over other things. Also, it can be used for leveling legerdemain. Just open two chests and wait for time to go off. Ask the Khajiit to start over.

Alclaire one is worst for me, in long term. Fishing would be tedious too, but I like fishing and did it in off hours, so I am able just to go return fishes now.

Getting drunk and screen getting all green and npc sounding weird and mud ball fights with other players

I think that I have groaned at the majority of the quests when they have came up. Fortunately, I have managed to get all of the motif pages and the recipes. I have multiple copies of the hats but I had to buy the towel. I am done with the festival. Yay!

Snow Bear Plunge

I liked the new animations for Snow Bear Plunge. And who doesn't love a good excuse to take all their clothes off? It was quite fun.

Mudball came close second - but I thought that pelting 10 people was a bit too much. Maybe 5 and then the ambassador. Did enjoy pelting the leaders though!

Not Lava foot dance because if you go in the fire pit you cant get back out unless you change the jump button or port out because you can't jump out when A makes you just dance again lol. For console anyway.

I also discovered this fun fact!
And I feel like they should have added a specific dance emote for the lava foot stomp - but it seems to just be existing ones?

And to add to this - if you deleted the original quest item, you can go to Eastmarch and Breda will be there to offer you the first quest anyway - I started my very first festival chain without even knowing the store quest item existed.

Fish Boon Fest

I usually hate fishing in this game and get bored easily whilst doing it, but there is something kind of special about seeing 50 people all stood around trying to catch a Black Marsh Cucumber

Mine is not getting stuck in a load screen. The feeling you get beating that is great!

Trial of Five-Clawed Guile

Mudballs are a good giggle when they actually fire, but for completion time you can't beat forcing 3 chests that are right beside a wayshrine. They were all fun the first few times, but now they're a mind-numbing grind.

So much this!

They are neat the first time around.
The second time you realise, you are spending more time looking on loading screen and riding then doing the little quests.
The third time you start getting annoyed by the long travel time and the bugging of "hitting E" in Alclaire.
The forth time you only want it to be over.
But you still need some of the rewards.

I'm putting in a vote for the Drunken Echatere Racing that was mentioned in the dialog. My hope is they will ad it for next year for those of us with the Orsinium DLC.

Mud Ball Merriment

best part is that ain't mud i threw

Cherryblossom · December 2016

Choose other or none, would say drinking from the barrel....

All the events are boring and repetative. They need to implement something fun to do, something that varies.

I find it hard to believe any thought or planning went into this at all.

Mud Ball Merriment

The balls of the mud bring much merriment to khajiit yes.

The fishing it follows a most close second. So nice to see so many celebrate Fishmas in the traditional way yes.

Ah Rajhin. We are two sides of the same shiny coin yes. Santie, at Fishmas, she gives whilst Rajhin he takes. The moons they remain in balance yes.

That is not to say Santie may not take things at other times of the year. After all the Fishmas khajiit she must eat on every one of the days of the year - and drink too!

Mud Ball Merriment

One thing I do appreciate about the performance and dancing events is how the festive NPCs turn and look at you and clap for you. Makes it feel a little more interactive when the NPCs actually react to what you're doing.

Saoirse_Siobhan · December 2016

Mud Ball Merriment

I had to go with the Mud Ball Merriment because of the fact you can interact with other players, plus you get to keep a memento so you never run out!

But I did really enjoy the Snow Bear Plunge, though not as thrilling as the cliff jumping in Wrothgar (you never knew if you were gonna die or not) it's really cool and the animations are a nice touch, I just wish they would stay after the event.

The Lava Foot Stomp is nice because it gets lots of players dancing in the same place at the same time, also what I think is awesome is the fact that the NPCs turn towards you when you dance and they clap and cheer you on.

The story around the Signal Fire Sprint is interesting.

The Castle Charm Challenge is again a nice way to bring players together and the emotes are awesome, though the mechanics of the whole thing is just appalling.

The other events are meh.

I love the Mud Ball Merriment quest just as much as the Snow Bear Plunge.

Ilawynde · December 2016

I was going to choose the mudball event but MAIQ told me that he heard from some monkeys that those are not mudballs!
