    Although I originally voted for the music box, I’ve since changed my mind after reading a lot of these posts and hope the book wins. My Arcanist wants it for his sanctum. 🧙‍♂️ 📕

    Oh, wow, definitely music box. The picture of the book on the event page looks much cooler, that just looks pretty generic...

    They will likely put both in a package in the crown store along with the other items from the event for limited-time.

    From the stream that was recenlty posted by Wolfkeks, it does sound like the book has a "wind whistling" sound when kept open.

    While this is nice and interesting - I would like to know which item goes to which npc exactly - for I have checked the event page yesterday and while the description said - book for Yensa and music box for Tralise - there are further pictures as you click on each on the page which show otherwise. The book picture has written underneath "Tralise" and the music box has "Yensa's" name under. Any certainty on these things? (and yeah I'm book team tyvm!)

    I'm surprised they didn't vary up who was first click each time. It kind of makes it pointless as a vote since a lot of people are just going to always pick the first option.

    I really hope the music box will be put up for sale later. It's such a shame to see it vanish into obscurity

    Music box can play music.
    Does the Tome has any special interactions as a furnishing ? Or is it just glowing or something ?

    I mean if it does not have anything unique, then I would assume that the only way Yensa is winning is beacuse she is 1st on the quest dialogue options and people are just spamming "1" skipping all the dialogue to be done with the quest as fast as possible

    Also 2nd question would be: If I vote for the Music Box & Book wins - do I get the Book or nothing ?

    @Tommy_The_Gun of you vote for the music box but in the end the book wins you will get the book. Everyone gets whatever wins in the end :)

    They'll toss the music box in the crown store eventually. They're not going to create that just to discard it.

    As I said in another thread about this before it was closed and directed to this one:
    As far as furnishing items go, music boxes are much more attractive than what I assume is just a static glowing book that may perhaps open and close...

    I love the tunes on the music boxes.
    I have zero reason to furnish and hang around a house in this game. What am I doing there? Just sitting on a chair admiring all the items I placed. 10 seconds then I'm leaving and wondering the world again.
    This isn't The Sims, so I don't have a reason really to kit out my houses to spend time in or live in them. I can't interact with almost anything in them apart from lights and chairs.
    If I want a crafting station I'll travel to one.

    The music boxes do actually make me want to sit there to enjoy the music for a while before I head out again.

    I kinda wished recently that we could place momentos down in the houses so we'd have more variety of interactive things.

    I am disappointed that it looks like we won't be getting the music box based on the current favour.
    The music boxes are 1 of the things I actually try and "collect" to listen to the lovely tunes (some of them sound horrible to me so I didn't get those ones)

    I prefer the music box because it looks like a cool miniature, but I'm hoping that whichever the result, they will give us an opportunity to get the other items as well somehow.

    My guess would be, we get ONE of them for free, then BOTH will be available for a limited time in the Crown Store. That way the players who wanted the one that didn't win can get it anyway (for Crowns), and players who don't have Necrom and didn't get the free one can buy either or both of them while they're in the Crown Store.

    I decided not to make it about the reward but base my decision on which outcome I would prefer. Tralise rising to power would be better for her House and the Telvanni Peninsula. sure, she should work on being more decisive but ultimately she could do a lot of good. However, the knowledge in those pages is quite valuable. it's also not cursed by Mora. he doesn't stoop to that level of interference in mortal affairs. Tralise would just lock them away, afraid of what's written in it. but I think this knowledge doesn't need to be feared and can be unlocked safely, so let Yensa have it.

    Now I've heard the music box, I've also changed my mind. I'd like the music box.
    It's a real shame we couldn't have a preview of both items with animations and sound before the voting started.

    Now this thread has been moved to Housing, of all places, I assume a lot of people are going to miss the previews posted here and will be effectively voting blind.

    Both are really nice! I had a strong preference for the book at first, but the music box tune is beautiful too, so I’ll be happy whichever wins and hope the other becomes available another way! :smiley:

    63% book / 37% music box as of today on the event tracker page. What if...it ended up being 50%-50% (improbable I know, I know, but not impossible!).

    That would be the absolute best outcome for me as I adore them both and everyone might be happy with receiving both rewards for free!!!!

    Thanks ZOS so much, this has been a really fun/rewarding event.

    The book is static and pretty ugly looking so I've no real interest in it. The music box looks beautiful so I'd use it even if it were turned off.

    I would expect a fair few players have no music boxes, so it would have been nice to have.
