New Daily/Weekly timers vs motif cooldowns

Leteney · March 2023

So with the update 37 a lot of timers have been moved to a set time of the day (daily reward change - for EU 3am UTC) including daily quests, endeavors, fence, enlightenment bonus and so on.
All of those were already happening at set times of the day and just got consolidated to the same hour (great change).
Individual timers (20h) like random dungeon or battleground, horse feeding, Remains-Silent and hirelings were affected too. All of those reset at the same set time as well now and I no longer have to keep track of how long it's been since I last did the thing (great qol change, I love it).
Now here comes my question - were motif cooldowns affected as well ? Any new motifs since Elsweyr (or event style pages) were on 20h cd as well.
Does the cd reset at the same time as others or do I still have to keep track of it individually ? And how about gladiator proofs and siege of cyrodiil merits (also 20h cd) ?
What about trial coffers ? Is it still exactly 7 days since I last completed the quest or do they switch at the set time (?Tuesdays 3am UTC?) ?

Was wondering this too.

Also is the first Reward of the Worthy box a day now too tied to the new timer? Or do I still need to track the 20h from the last open to get a guaranteed uncracked transmute geode?

Many motif pages were on a daily timer where you could get another when the daily reset. They should be the same with the new reset times. The Siege of Cyrodiil and Gladiator PvP coffers were on 20h timers, so I don't know if they got changed or if they have stayed the same, so if someone knows that would be helpful.

Well I tried and can confirm that the motifs are still on 20h cd, like they used to be, and not affected by the daily reset time.

I tried with the Wayward Guardian motif. I opened 3 boxes in the evening, got motif in the 3rd one. Daily reset for EU happens at 03:00 UTC. Shortly after that I opened 10 boxes and got no motif. The next evening I got a motif in my 2nd box.

So just be sure from now on I will treat all boxes/consumables like I used to and follow the 20h cd on opening them.

Including motifs, style pages, pvp proofs/merits and so on.

A bit sad the new universal daily reset doesn't seem to affect any of those rewards.

I can confirm only for Gladiator's Rugsack from Cyrodill Conquest Board quests. Yes, you get Arena Gladiator Proof once per day resetting at 8:00 AM CEST PC/EU.

As for other daily quest rewards I believe once you get reward motif with cooldown this cooldown's will reset at global quests reset time so it's not 20 hours time anymore.

But it's only my guess for daily quests reward. Tested only in Cyrodill and Imperial City.

The new daily reset time for EU is 3am UTC and 5am CEST. The old one was 8am CEST.

I don't understand the reasoning behind putting CDs on overland questing motifs. These are so easy for everyone to accumulate anyway that they're always bound to become practically worthless on traders. If I want them I'll just wait a month and buy the whole book for a few thousand gold *shrug*.

Before the reset time change, some motifs were on a 20-hour timer, and some were on a daily-quest-reset timer. The motifs from Western Skyrim (e.g., Greymoor motif) were on a 20-hour reset, while all of the motifs from High Isle were on a 0600 UTC daily reset. I remember from farming motifs during last year's Skyrim event that half the motifs were resetting at 20 hours and the other half were resetting at 0600 UTC, and I'm 90% sure that Wayward was one of the fixed-reset-time motifs and not 20-hour.

The question, though, is whether those daily-reset motifs are still using the 0600 UTC reset time, or if they follow the new quest reset time. It is possible that Wayward is still a daily reset, just at 0600 UTC rather than 20 hours. (Also, 10 boxes is not that much--while farming the motifs during the Skyrim event, I've had droughts of 15 boxes before getting one--though once I get past 8 boxes, I double check my logs to make sure that I hadn't messed up and already looted a motif without realizing it. But, yea, RNG can be fickle, so I've definitely had multiple days where it took over 10 boxes to drop the motif.)

One example of a fixed reset time that didn't change is lead expiration. Leads always expired at 0600 UTC with daily quest resets... and they still all reset at 0600 UTC even though daily quest resets are no longer at 0600 UTC. So it's entirely possible that motifs that used a fixed daily reset time are still at 0600 UTC.
