Error/Ignore

If you want the Luminous Indrik, the first berry you need from the Impressario is going away tomorrow morning. After 10 AM EDT tomorrow the next type of berry, Luminous Berries of Budding, will be available. You can visit the Impressario outside of Davon's Watch, Vulkhel Guard, or Glenumbra to see a plain Nascent Indrik as well as the current featured evolved Indrik ("Luminous").

Remember: You *can* buy the berries first, then later get tickets for the Nascent Indrik. You just can't *use* the berries until you also collect tickets for the Indrik feathers to make a Nascent Indrik.

It's one each of four unique feathers for the baseline Nascent Indrik, then four each of a unique set of berries to evolve that Nascent Indrik, and the Nascent Indrik is "consumed" when you evolve it.

EDIT: I had heard that berries were week-by-week and that I shouldn't forget to buy my first berry before it expired. I am happy to be wrong about this and I appreciate the corrections. Not the snark, though. It was too weak. Apologies for offering wrong information, I was worried people would be really upset if they missed a berry. Should have waited until I had more time to dig deeper for verification. I try post helpful and accurate information - dropped the ball on this one.

I don't think it will go away. All Dawn wood berries remained available once they had appeared until the end of the last Q1 event.

No, it's not.

pretty sure this is wrong

The last lots of berries ran the entire event, they just added the new one and kept previous

don't they stay in the event lady's selection for the full quarter (during the events)?

Are you working with Fox News?

I am so sick of event tickets and berries. Can this whole thing just be over yet?

All berries will go away at the end of week 5 I think. Until then they are just going to pile up together with the Luminous Indrik Pet we'll get in week 5.

@Pevey Sorry, but from the looks of it you'll have to endure this until Winter when the last Indrik comes out. Next year the berries will be gone, but the tickets will still be there and we'll get another mount or something to grind for. ZOS came up with this whole thing to increase active player numbers between releases as they didn't like it going up for chapters and then going down the rest of the year.

I thought this events extravaganza was just for celebrating 5 years. Your comment makes sense, but I'll definitely be burned out after this 1 year full of events and not be interested in "event every 2 weeks" format if it's around next year.

The Anniversary Event is only event for Q2 (April/May/June). So we will get a break for the first time in a while! Not sure if this is the new design, where each quarter will feature one long event and then a couple months of downtime, or if Q3 will be back to half a dozen smaller events every other week.

@Vigawatt You are right and wrong. This event extravaganza is to celebrate 5 years of ESO. That's why it's five weeks long. Usually it's just one week or two.
The whole Indrik ticket thing originally started because the Summerset event turned out to be a success and players requested more cool collectibles that you could earn ingame. Since everyone was also asking at the time why ZOS hadn't put an Indrik mount in the crown store they combined the useful with the practical and created the event ticket system that would keep players active between releases.
I think it works fine, but it should tone down on the grind a notch or two. At some point it starts feeling like a chore, which is why I decided as soon as the indrik evolutions were revealed that I would only try to get the Dawnwood and Luminous and Nascent Indrik because they looked the coolest and fit my characters the best.
