I have 3 accounts that didn't have the house, doing just the golden boxes each day, on both NA and EU. Not wasting my time with blues, and doing the bare minimum for the event because I have no desire to farm.
2 of those 3 accounts have now gotten the house, on both NA and EU. So that's 4 house drops, just from golden boxes. And it's not just me; I have a number of friends who have also gotten the house.Edited by code65536 on October 26, 2025 11:55AMNightfighters ― PC/NA and PC/EU

If you take the quest to defend a camp, at least on PS/NA I have found as long as I get there in time to attack the final boss, I am getting a Witches Festival golden box, the Witches Festival daily event tickets, and the Writhing Wall golden box. Three rewards for one activity! My opinion is if you are really short on play time for a day, you at least need to be doing this.2 -
Leighlaa✭✭✭Positive feedback: I REALLY love that this is concurrent with Witch festival. I will say, these are the slickest, easiest plunder skulls I've ever farmed. The plunder skull tracker/timer makes it so easy to know when my loot will return... and having the Field Marshalls respawn every minute and a half makes the farming of my shrooms, spooky bits, and CANDLEFLIES!!!! so much easier.
If I have to take a perk from this event, THIS is it. *claps in a circle* round of applause for a very nice silver lining I had not expected. Camping in a delve has never been nicer I'm watching SO. MUCH. TRUECRIME!
Edit to add: I've also noticed the increased worm cult furnishing drop rate and definitely appreciate it, thank you!! 💜Edited by Leighlaa on October 26, 2025 5:16PMPCNA - Changuita2 -

I apologize then, I let my frustrations come out.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭The chance for a house is pretty cool though! Not sure if this also drops for those who already own this house? (If we already own it, maybe drop a token so we can choose one other house to receive. The ones already owning the house are the ones spending money on this game afterall, throwing them a bone could go pretty far with goodwill.) Note: Ofcourse keep this an extremely low dropchance, and like winning the lottery lucky!
People who already bought it will get a sellable loot item worth only 10k gold instead. No typo - just 10.000, while the house costs 1 million. A friend got that thing on day 1 of the event.@Syldras | PC | EU

In my five guilds, two people have gotten the house. I have done the quests every day, all of the crafting at least twice a day, and the golden for the others on two accounts. I have not gotten the house yet on either account. Congratulations on your drop rate luck, but your luck doesn't suddenly make the drop rate high for everyone else.2 -

As someone who bought the house previously, I find it really crappy that players who already own the house just aren't going to get anything. 10k is nothing. I'm happy for people who are getting it, but it still feels like buying it from the crown store was a waste now. ZOS shouldn't be alienating players who buy their products for the sake of artificially making a boring event seem more fun2 -

They should have given us the new Worm Cult fortress/house instead. There's one in East Solstice.@Syldras | PC | EU

✭✭✭✭✭Ive been doing 3 of the dailies for 3 gold boxes every day on three accounts.
That is well over 120 boxes and I still havent completed the wickersoul style yet. The drop rate absolutely sucks.
Ive only gotten 3 different ones and just keep getting the same ones over and over and over.
I think Ive gotten 3 shoes, already, 1 jerkin and one gloves.
Finally saw that the prices of the others I need are dropping to reasonable levels and just bought them
I am so sick of doing these dalies
The Stirk Fellowship Motif is a bit better. There is only one I havent gotten yet but Ive gotten 5 staves and 5 swords.....Beta tester November 20131
