Jubilee Has Been Ruined
There has never been a cooldown when collecting boxes during this event and now you’ve implemented a 5 minute timer on specific ways to farm them. Why?? If people want to farm boxes back to back like before let them. This is what made this event fun, brought people together and have looked forward to it every year. It’s seriously a huge disappointment that this change happened.
Edit to clarify: I am fully aware writs provide boxes without a cooldown but the specific methods I’m talking about are incursions and world events. Take rifts in craglorn for example there is a cooldown before another box drops.

Schiffy✭✭✭What are you even talking about? When I turn in seven writs I get seven boxes, per character.7 -
Writs and quests give you boxes without cooldown however incursions and bosses have a timer3

No I’m sorry I’ve been farming jubilee for years the same way. Rifts in Craglorn and just going down a line back to back boxes no cooldown

Btw, seeing the flood of motives in past years, I'd suspect that if they didn't put a cooldown they would have made the rng worse to counter the higher drop rate. Sooo I don't know what others prefer, but having a cooldown lets me chill at a WB spawn instead of running like a crazy rabbit on the usual Desert Dolmens chain...Edited by SkaiFaith on April 5, 2026 7:23AMA: "We, as humans, should respect and take care of each other like in a Co-op, not a PvP 🌸"

This holds for every other event. But Jubilee never had a cooldown on overland boxes since they introduced boxes to incursions and bosses for the 10th Anniversary.Overland boss drops have always had a timer for every event.

✭I am okay with the cooldown on purple boxes on the Craglorn loop. With this change all players should be earning about the same number of purple boxes per hour of farming. Before this change, players "in the know" were racing between Craglorn rifts earning purple boxes at a much higher rate than other players doing almost anything else.0 -

It’s open to everyone not an exclusive in the know group of people. So it’s not fair to say that all players should be earning the same when everyone can. That is up to the player on how they choose to farm and how much.1 -
HybridFreak✭✭✭I 100% agree with OP. Adding the cooldown was a HUGE disappointment and effectively cut the number of boxes I farm from dolmens in half. Instead of a box every dolmen, now it's every other. ZOS already nerfed the crap out of the boxes last year. There was zero need to add a cooldown.1

Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

Because it was never announced or confirmed that the cooldown is now being implemented. I asked previously if this was a glitch and my question was not addressed. Jubilee has always been the only event without a timer and I was hoping it is a glitch. However since the change has yet to be confirmed or denied there could possibly still be a bug causing it. Doubtful at this point but still possible.0
