Got one yesterday from a Dremora skull.
My question is, where does it go? I don't see it in my inventory or in my currency tab.

24h over for me and still no ticket. (And yes, I looted everything). Hope that's only on my side 😅
Anyone has 2 tickets already?
(Currency tab says 1/12)

I got my second today after 24 hours.

Just wondering, don't you need to be in 'skeleton' form to be able to acquire these plunder skulls/tickets? or does being in 'normal' form allows you to get event tickets/skulls?

I'm away from office so I cannot double check this.

You do not need to be in skeleton form to earn these things. The cauldron summoning only awards double XP (you don’t even have to drink from it for that, simply summon it) and the skeleton form after drinking from it is just for funsies and also there’s now achievements for drinking from it 10 times and killing 100 skeletons while being a skeleton yourself.

But neither of those things affect you earning event tickets or gold/purple plunder skulls.

Is the confusion over what constitutes a day in the marketing plan? An intended feature? The event is fun. Why not state how the reset works with everything else? I'm baffled by this choice.

Thank you!

Update to my original post. I went back after dinner my time and tried again and did acquire my 2nd ticket for the day. This events info has been very confusing but I have it sorted now.

thanks all

Update: Looks like I was caught by the 20-hour constraint. Would be MUCH more convenient if they just went with a single daily reset time for everything, rather than a reset time on some things, and a reset time plus some rolling expiration (20 hours, whatever) on other things, etc. Then we could come in whenever we had the chance and do our task(s).

Anyway, I was able to go in with the character I was having trouble with earlier, at around 18:30 EST, and get an event ticket for 2018/10/23. Now that I understand what is happening, I can wrap the rolling expiration back to a time of day more consistent with when I usually get a chance to do these tasks.

Having problems with this as well.

I have two accounts. Ran them both through a delve around 18:30 EST on 2018/10/22 (after a large update). Received plunder skull and event ticket on both accounts.

Ran one account through a delve around 11:30 EST on 2018/10/23 (after a small update). Received a plunder skull and event ticket.

On the second account, killed 2 delve bosses between 13:00 and 13:30 EST on 2018/10/23, and received plunder skulls but no event ticket. Exited the game, restarted (launcher delivered no additional update), killed a third delve boss at 13:50 EST. Again, received a plunder skull but no event ticket. Also killed a public dungeon boss around 14:15 EST. Yet again, received a plunder skull but no event ticket.

This is extremely annoying.

A reward track strategy with a fixed end date doesn't really work when the rewards fail to be conferred at random like this, due to defects in the system. Players run out of time to reach the end of the reward track before the deadline... especially if, like me, the game is NOT A SECOND JOB to them

Contrast this with the way GW2 does reward tracks. No specific end date. If you reach some given milestone (by logging in, whatever), you advance. If you achieve the milestone, you don't advance. You progress at your own pace, and you don't lose your chance at a reward due to a deadline.

ESO has made a solid tradition out of this sort of unreliability. I would STRONGLY recommend switching to GW2-style approach, without fixed short-term deadlines.

I had a guild mate submit a ticket because she didn't get an event ticket on Sunday, and went 49 hours between them. I know she played every day because we game at about the same time and she messaged me to ask me about it and I suggested the ticket response.

Zenimax basically told her tough crap and nothing they would do about it. She's obviously, not happy at all. She's also cancelled her ESO+ i believe she got that mad. That's on PS4 NA.

So basically if I get my gold skulls when they reset at the 20 hour mark, I wont get a ticket that day because they reset at 24 hrs.

although i also originally thought the tickets were a 24 hour cooldown (on my planet, a day is 24 hours long) my understanding now is that they are both on 20 hour cooldowns...however, and I think this explains why I had an issue for about 2 days....although the dremora or plunder may be autolooted right into your inventory without needing to take the step of looting the boss, the event ticket needs to be looted by you...

I think that this means that it's possible that you may have earned a ticket when you got a dremora skull, but didn't take a separate step to loot the boss, and so you didn't get the ticket that you earned....the 20 hour timer restarts, and that's it for you until the next day. It certainly explains my experience from the last two days.

Finally to respond to your comment, it depends on when you last got a ticket. If your ticket's 20 hour cooldown doesn't end until after you finished getting your dremora skulls, then you'll be entitled to a ticket, you'll be eligible for a ticket...but you won't be able to get a ticket, because your dremoras, which are the actual trigger for the tickets, are on their own 20 hour cooldown. the cooldowns may be in sync or they may not be. as soon as one of them finishes the cooldown you could then immediately get a ticket...goofy way to do this, i think, but that's what they put into place, i guess.

Notice how ZoS are incredibly quiet on this? They know they messed something up - and they don't quite know how to admit it just yet...
