THE JESTERS FESTIVAL 2021 - GOLDEN CLOVER GUIDE/INFO COMPILATION

I forgot to mention that the fact that you need to deal final blow is highly punishing for any support build. Whatever you are, tank or healer or just a tanky-healer... well... good luck getting it. Hell, even if you are pure DPS build it is still a lottery...

So, as a fairly complete noob, what has helped me is knowing that there are new icons on the map. They look like calendars, and they are event hubs. Also, I noticed that the little icons after player names are colored like their alliance. That helped me pie the right people.

Pretty disappointed that the new stupendous reward boxes can drop the old runeboxes. Nothing like opening the reward box (that has a daily account limit, not character) and finding a cherry blossom runebox.

Yeah...I noticed this on PTS and was disappointed to see that it made it to Live. You couldn't give those Cherry Blossom Branches away last year, so there was absolutely no reason to put these in the Stupendous Boxes other than to clog up the loot pool and lessen the chances of getting a weapon outfit style page. Also, on PTS, there were a couple of times where all I got were treasures to sell and pie. I hope that's fixed.

So far I'm unable to pie Emeric, a crowd around him also not able to successfully pie him.

I gave up on the idiots pie spamming Emeric and Jorunn. I did Emeric at the Hall of Heroes (Bangkorai) and Jorunn at the Trolhetta wayshrine. Not everybody has completed the quests, of course, so NPC locations may vary, but each monarch has six possible locations scattered throughout their alliances. For example, if you've completed Bangkorai then Emeric will be at the far end with the celebrating troops, but if not he'll be right out front with a quest marker over his head.

BTW, Emeric at the Hall of Heroes is not listed in that Mudball Miscreant page you linked to.

Agreed, this looks like a middle finger to support players. I'd rather see the requirements increased, like 50 kills but as long as you tagged the enemy player you get credit.

If you have combat pets, please put them away for the base game quests. Pull 'em back out for the delves if you need, but please put your combat pets back in their cages for a bit.

Edit: forgot how to spell.

Great add on for this is PET DISMISS where you can unsummon all pets with a single keystroke.

To find him use Shimmies video guide

ZOS is aware of the Pie Problem and working on it.

I'm on PS4, but that is awesome. I haven't used my warden in ages, but I remember I could go into my character stat screen and unsummon her bear. Not sure if there is a quicker way, though.

Lol I had no idea about the coloured icons. I should pay more attention. I just threw pies at everyone and hoped for the best.

disintegr8 · March 2019

Didn't like the event the first year it was on, so I'll only be doing enough to max out my event tickets ready for whatever they decide is the next 'big ticket item'.

marius_buys · March 2019

ZOS is aware of the waiting line to pie King Emeric and working on a solution.

Twitch drop streaming of the event is from now until 24th

i still can't understand Noise Maker and Joke Popper. i already consumed a lot of different dazzlers, did a lot of noise with dazzlers from white to pink but the achievements remain at zero.

You need to combine the five pieces of the two mementos from the reward boxes. Don't remember if they only come in the Stupendous ones or the regular, too.

These are physical pieces to be collected and combined via the use function.

Nice guide!

Also, Empieror <-- new best title in the game !

Where is the 'Empieress' for female chars?

And the 'Former Empieror/Empieress' for after the festival ends?

Will it actually change? That'd be neat.

twev · March 2019

It's going to be a real pain in the butt trying to get the achieves for noisemaker and popper on multiple 'toons, since they each need to be assembled from 5 pieces, and I don't see that happening with the low drop rate and limited access to them.

Do they need to be assembled as such? I simply used them as if they were consumables and my tally went up in the achievements count.

Yep...I've thrown at least 30 pies in Cyrodill; 0/10.

I the bright side, it's not required for Royal Jester!

how to get princess rescuer achievment (personal experience)
you go get the pig on your stick horse
then you realize you forgot the apples
then you go back
then you try not to get spotted
then you get spotted and kill everyone
now everyone is dead and you still got spotted
you stun all the guards on your way to the pig
you get the pig and go to the left not right
you walk right next to the woman looking for her pig, almost through her
she realizes you already have 3k bounty so she doesnt say anything
you take the pig back and there you go
success

TIP: Get a buddy on the opposite faction to meet you somewhere quiet and have a duel. 50% chance of pie achievement.

I am *so* frustrated. I want to pie Jorunn, but that required actually *finding* Jorunn. Google sez Windhelm. How to get to Windhelm? hahah. Good luck with that. Time for more Google. Figuring out how to travel there took about half an hour. Now I go into the city, and no clue where he is. There's a likely looking building, but it doesn't open. Do I have to do a quest line to open the building? Is he in there? Oh, the joys of being a noob in this game.

Possible locations.

Do we know if "Messy Business" requires us to deal final blow to enemy player ? Or we just need a "kill "assist ?

Will know in a couple of hours wont we

Messy Business Achievement:

From my initial test I think, unfortunately, you need a killing blow for the Achievement. That kinda sucks because you need to mess around with quick slots to select the pie & throw it, during combat. That means you will be least likely to get this Achievement and one of your ally will get it instead, while you waste pies & throw them at people. It also sucks that it is a consumable, and not a memento, so you can run out of "ammo". Maybe I am wrong, maybe the "pie" effect is purge-able. IDK for sure yet, but from what it looks like - you need to deal the killing blow while the enemy is covered with pie (duration, about 12 seconds).

Thanks for the early heads up. I can already see players doing the I pie-kill you and then you pie-kill me thing in pvp, presumably near an outpost or town for quick respawns.

i dunno if this has been discussed that much beyond the pre-event comments, but the best approach is to first, do this within a guild that has members in all three alliances. next, do your best to organize in a centralized spot so that if someone does have to come back from the starter area, it's not too bad. next, have at least 2 pc's in each alliance, one to be killed by the other alliance guildies, and the other to resurrect, because that avoids going back to the starter areas, and for supplies, both pies and soul gems for res'ing...I participated in just such an event with my guild and it was great fun. I was able to get the achievement on 2 of my characters during our hour-long event. Oh, and also BTW, one last tip, bleed out any of your buffs & strip off gear, so that you're easier to kill by your alt-alliance guildies, and it goes faster that way.

FreshlyB8ked · March 2019

Thanks for all the great info here!

Do you happen to know if the new memento pieces are only available in the stupendous boxes or do they have a chance in dropping after i've done the 3 quests for that day in the regular boxes as well?
