Estimated Q1 2019 Event Calendar

Vigawatt · January 2019

With the official announcement about Midyear Mayhem, it specifically mentions you can get a max of 22 tickets. This tells me ZOS is reassuring us that you can get 1 berry and 1 feather each event if you're trying to get all the evolutions this year. So all the events you will likely be able to get 20+ tickets.

Following the pattern for ZOS events, I estimate Q1 as the following:
Midyear Mayhem: Jan 10- Jan 21 --2 ticket/day [OFFICIAL]
Morrowind Celebration: Jan 31 - Feb 11 -- 2 ticket/day
Dark Brotherhood / Thieves Guild: Feb 21 - Mar 4 -- 2 ticket/day
Jester's Festival: Mar 14 - Apr 2 -- 1 ticket/day

They could have shorter events with higher ticket counts, like the Undaunted last month, but Morrowind is a big deal so that probably won't be short, and last year the Dark Brotherhood event ran for 11 days as well.

Fifth year anniversary in April could be a long event, but would also be two consecutive long events. I mapped it out for the rest of the year and the pattern is less certain after Q1 because we don't know what the events are.

Thank you for posting this! I've been scouring the 'Net for this information. I wish ZOS would publish the calendars for events, for the whole year would be nice, but I'd even take quarter by quarter. Esp when there are lots of folks out there trying to earn tickets for Indrik mounts and evolution berries. Would help me plan better. Is there any info yet on what the tasks will be during the next two events?

Delpi · February 2019

Anyone knows when will be the dark brotherhood event?

TwoHawks · February 2019

From the OP's post, it's estimated to be:

"Dark Brotherhood / Thieves Guild: Feb 21 - Mar 4 -- 2 ticket/day"

The five year anniversary is going to be an extremely long event this year. It's going to go for five weeks. This post details the event this year as it was outlined in PTS notes. I am guessing the anniversary event will kick off Q2 events, but who knows?

A tentative calendar sure would be nice to have to be able to sorta plan things out ZOS.

that'd prolly be a good guess, there are still 2 more events yet for the first quarter, the TG/DB combo, and then jesters...that should close the quarter out...

I wrote this post back at the beginning of January, and I thought for them to fit in 4 events with getting 20+ tickets in to Q1 they'd have to do a pattern of 11 days on, Thurs-Mon, 10 days off, Mon-Thurs. The pattern has been events starting on a Thursday and ending on a Monday.

I was a week off with the Morrowind event, so the above estimate for Dark Brotherhood / Thieves guild is also inaccurate. They had also posted something, maybe for PTS I don't remember, saying that for Jester's festival you could get 2 tickets a day, which means my guess for the longer Jester's festival is also off.

I won't predict when Dark Brotherhood / Thieves Guild event could start either, because with the Jubilee being 5 weeks long I have no idea whether the Jester's festival would be a longer or shorter event, which gives a lot of leeway in when the Dark Brotherhood event could start and still fit in 4 events for Q1.

TwoHawks · February 2019

Understood. I asked some in my guild, on the 21st, if they might know when thieves guild/dk brotherhood event starts, and someone said maybe first week in March, so Beth/ZOS seems to have changed up the timetable on us a bit.

gypsypiratecaptain · February 2019

I had read somewhere toward the end of the Morrowind Celebration that the TG/DB event started today (2/25) but I'm failing to see the impresario that would indicate the event is going on. I'm hoping it starts on March 1, as a second rumor I heard stated.

what? no it didnt.

Vigawatt · March 2019

We have it now, in the March Crown Store Showcase article, elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/55821. They mention both the Thieves Guild / Dark Brotherhood event and the Jester's Festival.

Thieves Guild / Dark Brotherhood -- March 7-18

Jester's Festival -- March 21 - April 2

Yes, I extrapolated the same dates from the same article, however, the article was specific to the Crown Store Showcase, and didn't discuss the events themselves except for event timings related to certain crown store sales items. Has anyone seen any news items or even forum posts from ZOS concerning the events themselves, like rewards, drops, XP (probably jesters and not tg/db) and event ticket triggers, etc?

Katastrophia · March 2019

In-game help/event section says TG/DB events will receive tickets from sacrament quests and heist board quests.

I am confused now... You can find a following sentence in this article:
"Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration Event, from March 11 to March 14 at 10am EDT."

So march 11 - march 14 ? Kinda... short event...

Edit:

On the other hand we have this:
"The Thieves Guild Crafting Motif is on sale in the Crown Store on all platforms for a limited time during the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration Event, from March 7 to March 11"

"The Assassins League Crafting Motif is on sale in the Crown Store on all platforms for a limited time during the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration Event, from March 14 to March 18 at 10am EDT."

My presumption is that we will have separate event for Thieves Guild (March 7 - March 11) and then separate event for Dark Brotherhood (March 14 - March 18).

It is all confusing since the article describes availability of certain items in a crown store. We should wait for some official info about events.

Dear ZOS,

Is there any particular reason that your player base must act as detectives scouring the Internet for any clues about when your upcoming events are? Would it be at all possible for you to give us a quarterly calendar via a website, smoke signal... anything you wish that would allow us to have the ability to plan for upcoming events?? I'm sure many would appreciate it if you would.

For example, this ESO article would have been a lovely place to just go ahead and pop in those event dates.. even if they were only "tentative" dates.. they would be better than nothing. I think we all understand that there might be things that might happen about the game that could require an adjustment to the listed dates.

The event itself is March 7-18. The Crown store items are only available during those times, March 7-11, and March 14-18, during the event. Crown store items usually come and go quickly, and for only a few days at a time, despite how long the event actually runs.
