    Loving these double XP events back to back - I should level some crafting on my alts! That style looks good too, I hope it drops readily! Cheers to another year of ESO, many more to come!

    Will Night Market bosses count for Jubilee parcels? Not sure if it counts as any of the mentioned sources in the article.

    There will be no Night Market during Jubilee.
    It starts April 29.

    Why do you discriminate new players when it comes to purchasing of Jubilee cakes from previous years? They do not have time machine to travel to the past and join game earlier, so this is permanent punishment for them. Why not to make them happy by selling the cakes?

    I feel your pain. I started during the Jubilee, and had no idea the cakes existed. And, as it would happen, that cake is my Wife's favorite. I would love to be able to get the past cakes.

    What's up with the Thief's arm in that event artwork (front right)? Looks like the elbow got moved halfway up the forearm?

    I have always loved jubilee but why this year is there a timer on boxes when im running the rifts in Craglorn. I’ve farmed this way for years and I genuinely enjoy it now there’s a cooldown. Is this a glitch or has the timer been implemented? Hoping just a glitch.

    We didn't get any boxes from the bosses in the public dungeon in Solstice. Two of us.
    A guild mate was farming a lead in an older dungeon and also didn't get boxes.
    I also got 0 at dolmens.

    We are fine with open world bosses in Solstice.

    Did you pick up the daily for the dolmens? The boxes are tied to daily quests for a lot of things (see the details in the official announcement).

    IIRC public dungeon and delve bosses don‘t drop any boxes.

    My #1 wish for ESO Today: Decouple achievements from character progress and tracking.

    I always loved the Jubilee event. This year you introduced a cooldown on gift boxes looted from bosses and world events. That sucks as it makes every farm method useless.
    I don‘t get it. Why the cooldown? No one is harmed by a zero cooldown. But with the 5 minutes it‘s hard to get a decent amount beyond daily quests.

    This ruined my most loved event (which is also my own birthday event).

    Please reconsider this before next year‘s event.

    Yes. I decided to stop playing this day because I had the timing wrong and can't do WBs on my own.

    I feel the same and completely not interested in even participating. This is also my birthday event so happy birthday! I took time off work specifically for box farming the first day. It was a complete disappointment. I was hoping it was a glitch of sorts but nothing has been addressed so I’m under the impression this change was meant to be.

    I am fine with the cooldown on purple boxes because I think that it levels the playing field for all players. Previously players "in the know" would do the Craglorn loop and farm many, many, many times more purple boxes per hour versus other players who were doing almost anything else.

    This is almost the same as saying it’s not fair that people with one crafting toon can only get 7 boxes but people with 20 crafting toons can get 140. No one can get more than someone else everyone has the opportunity to earn the same but it depends on how you choose to farm it.

    ZOS also leveled the playing field for players starting this year for crafting. Now Xbox X|S and PS5 consoles have add-ons, so this anniversary event ESO console players can do crafting dailies quickly like ESO PC players by using an add-on. :)

    And ZOS does not limit any player from getting the maximum number of alts. I'm sure ZOS is in favor of players getting more character slots (by getting crowns). :)

    Are you confusing Jubilee boxes and Plunder Skulls? This event doesn’t drop boxes in public dungeons. If you have a quest for those you’ll get a box at turn-in.

    Just a reminder to ZOS staff that it would be nice if the event description and in-game implementation matched better. The former describes the slice as a memento, but it's actually implemented as a tool. Ta!
