Will Onyx berries be available again in 2020?

During 2019, I've been able to gather only 3 out of four Onyx Berries, along the Onyx pet. The one that's missing is the Onyx Berries of Ripeness. I was really hoping the missing berries would become available again, during the same events in 2020, but I haven't seen them yet. Will the Onyx Berries of Ripeness come back this year? If not, what can I do with those useless berries, will I be able to exchange them?
Thanks!

    Last year all berries were available during new life event. Maybe they will do it again this year.

    They already stated that all berries would be available during the New Life Festival - but I can't find the link now where it says that, sorry!

    @ZOS_GinaBruno can you confirm this? I am in the same position as @HawkFest with an unfinished indrik in my collections...

    Only 2020 Indrik berries are returning for New Life ... sorry for the bad news.

    Spectral Indrik, Frostbreath Indrik, and Mossheart Indrik.

    Since berries are in your Collections, they won't take up inventory space.

    Although I don't remember seeing Onyx Berries during the event bridging 2019 with 2020, I hope you guys are right, and that it won't be limited to 2020 berries... Thanks!

    Thank you for the link and info!

    I was also hoping the 2019 berries would return as I really like the Dawnwood indrik.

    Although I didn't see it during the last New Life event (bridging 2019 to 2020) as I was keeping an eye for it, I hope that you're right.. Thanks!

    Thank you for that information.
    How "unfortunate" :( ... Seeing that they were linked with seasonal events (4 Indrinks during a year, each having its berries tied to a quarterly calendar), as it was suggested from the way they got into the game, and along the fact they were themed by season, but without much explanation nor clear calendar from Zos in this regard (it was quite confusing when those events came out)... Then in all logics I was sure they'd come back, like did those berries for the Pure snow Indrik during the last New Life event !

    I knowingly left the Onyx Berries of Ripeness on the side (the only one that was missing), in order to get the Onyx pet instead, as I've planned in advance to get the Onyx Indrink during 2020 if not 2019 when the related events would come back... Explanation: when those for the Onyx began in 2019 (Q3 july-september), and after having calculated that given my real life calendar I wouldn't have enough gaming availability in order to get both, I still bought three Onyx berries along the pet... But in the end it only made me lose 30 tickets.

    Simply put: when one doesn't provide any clear information, then given some pattern one must stick to logic. Else it ends up into misleading people to spend (time and thus money) into a dead-end trap. Which is frustrating. Now Sybiela is sad, as her Onyx Pet is missing its parent :( ... @ZOS_GinaBruno, if I can't get the missing Onyx Berries, will it be possible to exchange those useless berries for 2020 Indrik Berries?

    They have mentioned that there will be a way for us to get the mounts in the future. I can't remember where the comment is but it was on an official news release.
    They mentioned that the new life will be the last time the indrik is around and they will be doing something else instead in the future.

    You know, I thought I'd got the onyx one in first quarter this year. Apparently not from what Taleof2Cities posted above. My apologies for bad information - I'm sorry!

    This is ZOS fault, not ours: we should NOT need to go/search through TESO forums or other 3rd party/partner web service, in order to get clear explanations about what they can come up with in the game, especially in regards to such things as Events and their mechanic/calendar! It should appear on TESO's main Web Site in the corresponding Event section/description, where nothing should be left for guessing.

    This is one reason I've stopped collecting Indriks. It's become way too much work.

    That, plus I'm bored with Indriks.
