Hi forum friends,
Usually with big community events like this there is a free house at the end. Players are saying we get the free cold harbour house but that wouldn't be right or fair cos many of us already bought it. So what is the truth?

✭✭✭✭✭The Coldharbour house is a very rare drop from the boxes, and it's the one that's available in game for gold, not a new one.
There is a reward hose coming, but that's the ticket one (Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos) so we get that at New Life.
The 'big reward' at the end of the Writhing Wall is simply... access to the other half of the content we paid for. That's about it.26 -

Yes I know about the cold harbour house ..still could have been a rare drop of something noone has yet.
The wildgrown chapel of julianos is the house I really want...have to wait some more oof lol.
If I'd known this event's rewards were what they are in honestly would not have bought the game pass. I paid to work to then get the priviledge of being able to access a zone i thought I had already paid for? What the? What the? 😾🤬Edited by Recent on October 14, 2025 3:20AM2 -

The mount is the reward for the Pursuit, which many people finished already. There’s another mount available from getting the Savior of Solstice achieve, which is doing all the stuff on the other side of the wall.
Really the “big unique thing” from the wall itself is a title for going through the PubDun which will delete itself after a week.2 -

That's for the golden pursuit, which ties into the event but doesn't require it to be completed. Some people have already got the mount.
Previous community events have given out houses and unique furnishings. This one has a title but I think the big reward is permission to play the rest of the zone story you purchased. (And nothing if you didn't buy the pass, but that's inline with past events which required you to buy the chapter to get the rewards.)PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

But if we didn't buy Solstice it's impossible to complete the Golden Pursuit this time. This is a massive marketing mistake on ZOS' part. It's training us to ignore the FOMO of not completing premier events in the game.0 -

Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I don't use pets and the mount is nothing worth grinding more than about 10 minutes for. I'll get the 5 done and get the whopping 15k gold from normal daily activities and that'll be fine for me this time around. ZOS really desperately needs to reexamine their event rewards and their value to the players.3 -

That's fine. Nobody's suggesting you should. Just don't mask that decision with a derisive claim that it's impossible to complete due to bad design.

aaaaaand if you already have the Coldharbour house that's been available for long-standing players for the past 200 years, you get nothing.

There are twenty-four pursuits completable without Solstice. Twenty-one if the Soul Reapers do not turn up again before the Golden Pursuit ends. (A list in this thread.)MorallyBipolar wrote: »DenverRalphy wrote: »[...]

I simply meant that saying that the GP can't be completed without purchasing the content pass is infering that the design of the GP is flawed.

It is possible to complete the golden pursuit without owning the content pass.
But more importantly what I meant (and admittedly I wasn't clear enough) is that it's possible for a player to complete the Golden Pursuit before the event is completed. Some people had the bear mount on day 1 when their server was on about 1% progress.
That means it's a reward for playing the event but not the big reward at the end, because you don't get it at the end. It's not like the houses and other stuff from previous community events where no one got it unless and until the event succeeded.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

No, @DenverRalphy is 100% correct. You do not need solstice. As said though it will be tedious and some folks may not want to do what's left after solstice stuff is subtracted. The point stands though, that you can.
For those with solstice, it took me less than 3 hours to get it. As a large guild group we ground out repeated solstice dailies and also killed the WB on solstice that's not supposed to be released yet. Good boss by the way. I don't like the mount and I wasn't trying for it but got it easily. Just info if someone is trying to get it in reasonable time.2 -

mine is not. keep in mind all i did was grind the stirk dailies and search for soul reapers. no add-ons.
i looked at the gp tasks day one and knew any solstice specific content was out for me.
my guild dailies took a hit. so did my crafting.
