Zeal of Zenithar Event Testing
A brand-new event comes to ESO! Zeal of Zenithar honors the Tamrielic god of commerce and hard work, and during this blessed time of year you can earn extra rewards by engaging in those activities! There's a lot to this event, so let's get started.

• To begin, you can pick up the introductory quest "The Unrefusable Offer" from Amminus Varo at the new Belkarth festival grounds (or get the free quest starter from the Crown Store). A helpful portal is at every Impresario tent to take you straight to the city if you don't know the way.
  • This quest helps onramp newer players into some of the activities highlighted by the event, providing tutorial refreshers where needed.
• Once completed, you may then pick up the single daily quest associated with the event, "Honest Toil", and complete any single one of the activities listed for daily three Event Tickets and a gold-quality Zenithar's Sublime Parcel reward box.
• You have a chance to earn additional purple-quality Zenithar's Delightful Parcels by completing the following activities:
  • A box from completing the introductory quest, both the first time and on subsequent years if you prefer to complete it again.
  • A guaranteed box for completing any Master Writ.
  • A guaranteed box for the first daily Crafting Writ, per account, that you complete each day (no pressure to do all of them a guarjillion times on all your alts)
  • A guaranteed box for defeating a world boss (skull and crossed swords icons on your map) or world events (dolmens, harrowstorms, geysers, dragons, etc.) while grouped with someone who is in at least one of your guilds.
  • A chance when conquering each round of a group-based arena challenge (such as Dragonstar or Blackrose Prison) while grouped with someone who is in at least one of your guilds. The final round's reward chest has a guaranteed parcel.
  • Or if you're not interested in hard work, Akatosh forbid, a small chance to steal parcels from hard-working Tamrielic citizens through pickpocketing, strongboxes, or thieves' troves.
• Parcels have a chance to contain the following, with gold-quality ones having higher drop chances and more loot in general:
  • A tradeable outfit style page for the new High Rock Spellsword Armor.
  • Durable crafting materials, provisioning ingredients, alchemy reagents, runestones, or a motif style item.
  • Crafting boosters, with a very small chance of a gold-tier booster or a research time scroll.
  • Furnishing or provisioning recipes
  • Repair kits, siege repair kits, or a small chance for an Impresario Group Repair Kit.
  • Treasure Maps, Survey Reports, Imperial City vault keys, Companion gear, or a random currency pouch.
    • The random currency pouch can contain either gold or Tel Var stones; there is an extremely small chance that this is a jackpot amount that gives you 100,000 of the associated currency!
    • This jackpot is not modified by any Champion Point or other passives that affect currency gain.
• Furthermore, during this event, the following global effects are in place:
  • Wayshrine travel costs are reduced by 75%. Happy traveling!
  • Repair costs on vendors are reduced by 50%.
  • Crafting Inspiration gain from all sources is increased by 100%.
  • Vendor prices across Tamriel are reduced by 10%.
    • These include:
      • Vendors that sell items for Gold, AP, or Tel Var stones, including the Golden Vendor.
      • Houses purchasable for Gold.
    • These do NOT include:
      • Bag or Bank Space upgrades
      • Currency vendors that do not sell things for Gold, AP, or Tel Var
      • Guild Traders, whether it be for reserving their services, collecting from sales, or anything else.
• New rare social and combat wilderness encounters are peppered throughout Tamriel for you to find, related to Zeal of Zenithar.
• The Impresario will offer all three Soulfire Dragon Illusion pet fragments, and all three fragments for the Aurelic Quasigriff to complete this season's morph. She will also carry bound versions of the High Rock Spellsword Armor style pages for 5 tickets each.

Companion Guild Commendations
Coming with the Zeal of Zenithar event, we are introducing a new consumable item that the Impresario will sell in perpetuity (whenever she’s around). By purchasing these commendations and using them while an active Companion is out, you immediately advance the Companion to the next skill rank of the associated guild (from among Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Undaunted). As new companions will be introduced over time, we will not disallow you from buying these even if all your current Companions are fully leveled but exercise care in over-purchasing!

New Indrik Vendor: Nenulaure
We're not done yet! In the event you never had a chance to finish any of your Indriks, or if the normal morphing collectible items don't suit your fancy, or if you're new and have a surplus of tickets, there is a new Indrik Vendor, Nenulaure, at the Belkarth festival grounds starting with this event. Here's how she works:

• Any time the Impresario shows up in ESO, not just during Zeal of Zenithar, the Indrik Vendor will appear in Belkarth. She will offer a selection of past Indriks from previous years based on the season, with a cycling inventory as seasons change (lining up with event starts/ends when the seasonal change would happen in the middle of an event).
• She will always offer the Nascent Indrik feathers, which are now 5 Event Tickets each.
• She will have all four berries for each of the two seasonal Indriks on offer for that season, plus the two baby Indrik pets that match them, for 10 Event Tickets each.
• The Indriks will cycle by season and return in the following year if you missed them. The seasonal rotation (subject to change) is as follows:
  • Spring (start of year): Dawnwood and Spectral Indrik berries, plus Springtide and Haunting Indrik pets
  • Summer (middle of year): Luminous and Icebreath Indrik berries, plus Shimmering and Rimedusk pets
  • Autumn (after Zeal and before Witches Festival): Onyx and Mossheart Indriks, plus Ebon-Glow and Sapling pets
  • Winter (Witches Festival to end of year): Pure Snow and Crimson Indriks, plus Frost-Light and Rosethorn pets
• All Indriks won't come back for New Life Festival like we do with the year's Morphing Collectibles or previous years' entire Indrik catalogue.
