    Honestly, none of them. I just like the loot so I do them. But I'm kinda jaded because this will be my 3rd year doing them.

    Did they decrease the requirements this year? It seems like in previous years it took longer to collect the wasp honey and wolf meat, whereas this year it takes just one wasp and one wolf.



    Yeah. Used to be 3 wolves and 2 wasps

    Oh, I have lots and lots of bait, of all different types-- some (crawlers, worms, insect parts) more than others (minnows).

    Which reminds me, what type of water is it? I thought I was using river bait (when I went back after reset and made sure to take plenty of bait with me), but I was getting a lot of "used bait."

    lmao oh how I know that feeling...

    For the event fishing aaaany bait will do, even the simple you buy off merchants (the event merchant npcs always stock them), even though its technically saltwater/wormwater.

    The Orphan's Fund is a scam, no children, therefore no orphans!

    There is an achievement for paying Ormurrel and killing the creatures. I just kill the creatures, paying might be quicker but the gold adds up, last time I checked it was 347 gold, I think it's leveled.

    I'll have to pay attention next time but I think that New Life dailies award around 300 Gold each (also leveled of course), so you kinda make your money back.

    I find it interesting people think others are faster. This one you sprint to a point leap off do a swim stand by a fire a few sec then dash to the next one. No zone changes no having to talk to multiple people, etc. I can do this quest faster than i can get to the others zones and back.

    I like the story behind the Redguard festival. I will probably like the Khajiit one too (haven’t done them all yet!). For the Breton one, I confess I was hoping that you could choose between different entertaining options and get different reactions from the crowd depending on what you chose and where!

    I love this one mostly because of that one drunk Nord woman who is like, "I don't know you. =__= Do I know you?" Makes me laugh every time. I'm pretty sure I've met this woman in a pub bathroom at one point in my life.

    It's the closest to an actual mini-game, even if it is re-using an existing system. But it feels more like actually doing something.

    Snowbear Plunge is a close second for the novelty value.

    At 1st it is kinda most grindy quest, but, a small tip that will make it easiest one:
    Keep duplicate fishes & keep even those that you got on alts. If you have all 3 in invetory, you just port directly to the other NPC that wants those fishes & then port back to Breda. Way-shrines are super close so too.

    Of the ones that I have done I would say the Snow Bear Plunge is my favorite but there is something just so fun about The Trial of Five-Clawed Guile (mainly just the flavor text about "what coins?" ) that just hits the mark so perfectly
    I will say that you should have to do the Snow Bear Plunge nekkie but some people cheat!

    Yeah. Used to be 3 wolves and 2 wasps

    And was mighty irritating when wolves didn’t spawn fast enough (and then post-event when the island’s regular, low level population returned to find the place overflowing with wolves and wasps).

    This year’s readjustment means that it’s a short, vaguely amusing tasklet, rather than a mammoth hunting pain in the arse.

    Not sure what my favourite one is, but those orphans are bloody expensive.

    Plunge somehow manages to put me in a holiday mood each time I do it. I actually get excited when I see it come up. No shrine, straight north through Windhelm down to the docks. That probably adds 10 or 20 seconds to it but I don't mind.

    I also like jumping right onto the bridge from the little hill behind the building at the end of it. It's somewhat of a challenge to pull off.

    I never had a problem with the wolves, it was always the wasps. Even this year, wasps can be hard to find, and then when you do find one, somebody runs up and insta-kills it before you can take a swing. I always hit the wasp once, then block it and let it attack me so anyone else who needs a wasp will have a chance to attack it.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!
