Bah Humbug! What's your least favorite Jester's Festival Quest and Why?

    Took way too long for potential rewards.

    I got dubious camoran from my second box (first quest - pig)

    It was fine enough exactly one time: the first time you do it. Doing it over and over across 12 characters though - good lord what a chore.

    Two lengthy "go into a cave and fetch me..." quests combined with an unnecessary part 2 where you have to run around Daggerfall. Easily longer than both of the other Jester fest quests combined, and I got pretty quick at doing it after so many times.

    I hope ZOS is lurking this thread and taking notes.

    Count me in for the long "Jester King Emeric's quest is terrible" crowd. I would actually enjoy it if:

    1: It were reduced to one delve (OR you can choose to farm in EITHER Ilessan Tower or Silumm, but you don't have to do both.)

    2: The NPC's were guaranteed to drop the ingredients, instead of it being random--most of my time was wasted running around the largely cleaned-out delves, killing the same damn things in corners over and over again because the ingredients wouldn't drop, and jerks kept darting in to steal individual ingredient nodes they saw I was trying to fight my way to. (The sad part is, I always let other players have the node if they helped me kill what's guarding it, so they're shooting that arrow right into their own knee--if you snipe nodes while I'm fighting my way to them without helping me, I'll start running ahead to snipe them first and let you fight everything alone.)

    3: Faster ingredient node spawns that also allow more than one person to harvest them before vanishing, like chests and heavy sacks do in group dungeons. I also wasted a lot of time just waiting around, because entire sections of the delves would be cleared of both nodes and enemies.

    I really love the Jester's Festival, but that quest grates on my nerves like nothing else in the event (though the broken mechanics for stealing the apples in Jorunn's quest are a close second. WHY does stealing the apples break sneak when nothing else you steal does?! That's not a prank, that's just poorly done.)

    Alliance agnostic: all factions should chill the fetch out and party together.
    If you ever wonder why certain official fandom spaces are so often toxic and awful, remember: corruption starts from the top. ^^v

    Stealing the apples always gets me a bounty - even when all the NPCs are dead.

    They're all pretty meh.

    Jorunn's quest is mostly just annoying because of the almost guaranteed bounty associated with it. Fix that part and the quest instantly becomes much more tolerable (Although Jorunn still disturbs me).

    Ayrenn's quest is just dull. Spraying people with flowers is hardly much of a prank and doing it repeatedly in several locations is fairly unimaginative. If it could have been different pranks at least, like setting off Fireworks or throwing a pie at them, with different locations (One day it might be in Skywatch, the other it might be the College and so on) it could have been more entertaining.

    Emeric's quest is the worst IMO because it requires the most amount of work and time to complete. Not only do you have to go to 2 delves, you have to fight against other players for mobs/nodes to even complete the quest and Divines help you if there's a train of people running off ahead of you. After that frustration, you're not even done as now you have to go to 3 locations in town and set off the fireworks by spamming a button at each location. I mean, sure, they look nice and fit the festive theme of the event but the prerequisite work involved made it much less enjoyable than it needed to be. Had they just removed the delve aspect of the quest and skipped to firing off some Fireworks, the quest would have been fine.

    I didn’t vote because all of them were annoying and not worth my time. I mean, it wouldn’t be so bad if ZOS would at least come up with with some new quests during the holiday events.

    the daggerfall one is so freaking annoying that i ended ragequitting after it didnt registered i actually collected enough stuff for the THIRD time and ignored the festival the last two days. Also getting constant loadscreens when moving through Glenumbra is fun. NOT.

    Also why is the one with the Dazzler the only questprogress where it shares the progress in your group??

    Love the pig-quest even with the auto-flag-criminal-bug.

    But the "wait for a handful of poor mobs to spawn only to get nuked like crazy just for some dust"-quest is boring as heck.

    I hate repeating fetch and kill quests, more so when I do it on 5 different characters every 12-15 minutes.

    The title says Bah Humbug! How are people confusing it with their favorite xD It's kinda funny.

    Seriously, fake King Emeric is the worst. 2 fetch quests in order to go do 3 more quests. While the fireworks are pretty, he didn't make fireworks where it counts, in my heart :D That belongs to fake Queen Ayren, love that cute Orc, she's hands down the best imposter. And her quests at least are amusing.

    I do enjoy them all. I love the voice acting for Jester Queen Ayrenne, but I chose this quest as my least loved because it makes me go to the College of Altmeri Propriety and listen to all the vile insults the Thalmor are laying on their recruits.

    I spend more on fines than I make. The quest is a loss for me. It doesn't matter how much I sneak, somehow, I get caught.

    The Jester's Festival is filled with fun and laughs, good loot and banners. So, so many banners. But all those quests have their own annoying sides as well. Take a break from the fun and games and think, "What's my least favorite of the Jester Monarchs' quests and why?"

    If the Poll Options don't suit your own thinking, feel free to weigh in specifically with a response below. I forgot the "Other" response, unfortunately, but I do love reading all the clever "Other" responses people come up with!

    Emericks, jesus h christ that was annoying AF.
