[h2]Recall in Autumnal Style [/h2]
The 10-Year Anniversary Celebration continues with a new spotlight, and this time, we’re taking you and your allies to the Dark Elf island home of Vvardenfell and Sotha Sil’s world in miniature. From July 2 until August 15, you can unlock the ability to claim the Gold Road Recall Customized Action for FREE from the in-game Crown Store when you complete the Champion of Vivec Achievement.

Gold Road Recall

Customized Actions allow you to change the animation and effects for specific in-game actions, such as harvesting and, in this case, recalling. To earn the Champion of Vivec Achievement,  complete the Vvardenfell zone storyline and restore the demi-god’s lost power.

In addition to the Customized Action, you can also unlock the Clockwork City DLC free with July’s Daily Login Rewards. Simply log in during the month of July and claim the DLC on Day 2—easy!

Venture into Clockwork City

In the Clockwork City DLC, you can explore one of Seht’s most incredible (and dangerous) creations: an entire world in miniature. This unique zone has its own storyline, challenges, and characters to discover, plus it’s a long-time favorite of the ESO community. If you’ve not yet had the chance to explore the Clockwork City (or are yet to own the DLC outright), this is your opportunity to do so!
[h2]Endeavor into Morrowind[/h2]
During the Anniversary Spotlight period, you can also enjoy themed Endeavors, allowing you to earn Seals by completing activities such as destroying clockwork foes, slaying public dungeon bosses in Vvardenfell, clearing the Halls of Fabrication, and more. Keep an eye out for them!

[h2]Celebrate the Home of the Dark Elves[/h2]
As ESO’s massive 10-Year Anniversary Celebration continues, we’re thrilled to give you even more reasons to venture into the home of the Dark Elves and Sotha Sil’s Clockwork City. Will you be exploring the island of Vvardenfell or Seht’s world in miniature this July? Let us know via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook—have fun!

Xbox has officially announced that it's not only going to have presence at this year's Gamescom, but will be assembling its "biggest booth yet", while PlayStation and Nintendo have both confirmed they're giving the show a miss.

Yep, just one of the big three is planning to rock up in Cologne, meaning that there'll be absolutely no console wars-esque discourse the entire time the show is on. Surely, right? Okay, so definitely not, but at least there won't be any photos of Xbox and PlayStation logos facing each other like they're the flags of two sides engaged in of some kind of dramatic ancient conflict, rather than the occasional bout of corporate handbags.

"The Xbox team is heading BACK to Gamescom," the console maker has just announced via a Tweet, adding: "Visit us at our biggest booth yet August 21-25!" Hey, at least there was enough restraint shown that the tweet didn't contain the exact dimensions of this big booth, followed up by the line 'see, we weren't kidding, it's bigger than your dad's shed'.

Ten years. From Dragons in Elsweyr to Vampires in Skyrim, we've slain some of the mightiest foes. We've laughed alongside Razum-dar, gotten our hands bloody with Naryu, and cried with Khamira. Whether you carry the lion banner, swear fealty to the Tribunal, or leap into battle with "For the Queen!" on your lips, we've shared a decade of Elder Scrolls Online adventures together.

Take up arms in celebration of our Diamond anniversary. Carry remembrances of the Five Companions into battle, ride atop a fallen titan as you leap into the fray, and commemorate the last decade of adventures with dazzling new treasures to last ten years more. Come along, friend. You're always welcome in Tamriel.

The new Diamond Anniversary Crown Crates arrive in the Crown Store this Thursday, June 20, 2024 at 10AM EDT. When opening these crates, you’ll have a chance to acquire fine goods suitable to celebrate any special occasion in the form of new and returning items and collectibles.

These goods include unique mounts, pets, furnishings, and much more. You can see just some of the items available within Diamond Anniversary Crown Crates below.

Diamond Anniversary Crown Crates will be available in one-, four-, and 15-crate bundles in addition to a unique 25-crate offering, the Diamond Anniversary Crate Bundle, that is available as a one-time purchase only. In addition to the crates, this special bundle also includes the Coldharbour Recall Customized Action.

Celebrate with this bundle of Crown Crates!

This customized action will be unlocked automatically and added to your collectibles when the one-off bundle is first purchased. It is not part of the Diamond Anniversary crates themselves.

Of course, the above is just some of the finery held in waiting for this momentous release. If you wish to see the full list of items you have a chance to receive when opening a Diamond Anniversary Crown Crate, check out this thread on our official forums.

Be warned, when the new crates go live, the currently available Order of the Lamp Crates will be removed from the Crown Store in turn, so don’t forget to pick them up while they’re still available!

Diamond Anniversary Crown Crates arrive this Thursday, June 20 at 10AM EDT, and you can acquire them from the Crown Crate section of the in-game Crown Store. Will you be celebrating in style? Share your festive plans and looks via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook. 

Honor the God of Commerce to receive hard work’s rewards during the Zeal of Zenithar in-game event!
[h2]Work Hard and Prosper[/h2]
The Zeal of Zenithar in-game event returns on June 20 at 10AM EDT, and it runs until July 2 at 10AM EDT. To get started, pick up the introductory quest "The Unrefusable Offer" from Amminus Varo at the Belkarth festival grounds or acquire the free quest starter from the Crown Store. Having trouble locating Belkarth? Don’t worry; just head over to the nearest Impresario tent and take the nearby portal. Upon finishing the intro quest, you unlock the daily quest, "Honest Toil."

Seek Amminus Varo to begin your labors

During the event, the first time you complete the daily quest each day, you receive a Zenithar’s Sublime Parcel box as a bonus reward. Each subsequent completion of the “Honest Toil” quest during that same day rewards you with a Zenithar’s Delightful Parcel box.

In addition, you can earn Zenithar’s Delightful Parcel boxes by participating in the following activities:

• Completing the introductory quest “The Unrefusable Offer”
• Completing any Master Writ, per discipline, per account, each day
  • Subsequent Master Writs of the same discipline won’t provide further boxes until the daily reset
• First daily Crafting Writ, per account, completed each day
• Each time you defeat a world boss while grouped with a player who is in at least one of your player guilds
• Each time you complete a world event while grouped with a player who is in at least one of your player guilds

You also have a chance to earn a Zenithar’s Delightful Parcel box when conquering each round of a group-based arena challenge or completing a Cycle in the Infinite Archive while teamed up with a player who is a member of at least one of your guilds. Additionally, the final round’s reward chest contains a guaranteed parcel, as will Tho’at Replicanum’s reward chest.

Trade and toil

If (Divines forefend!) you aren’t the sort to practice an honest trade, you may discover parcels scattered across Tamriel by pickpocketing citizens and looting strongboxes or thieves troves. Maybe crime does pay, as long as some other rube is doing the hard work first!

Within either parcel box (Sublime or Delightful), there is a chance to receive the following rewards:

• A tradeable outfit style page for the new Gold Road Dragoon outfit style armor
  • If you’ve already earned a Gold Road Dragoon style page for the day, you have a chance to instead get a style page for a past Zeal of Zenithar event set such as the High Rock Spellsword outfit style armor, Kwama Miner’s Kit armor outfit style, or Ashen Militia weapon outfit style.
• Durable crafting materials, provisioning ingredients, alchemy reagents, runestones, or a motif style item
• Crafting boosters
  • Chance to drop a gold-tier booster or a research time scroll
• Furnishing or provisioning recipes
• Repair kits, siege repair kits, or a small chance for an Impresario Group Repair Kit
• Treasure Maps, Survey Reports, Imperial City vault keys, Companion gear, or a random currency pouch.
  • The random currency pouch can contain either gold or Tel Var stones; there is an extremely small chance that you discover a jackpot that allots 100,000 of the associated currency!
    • The earnings from this pouch, jackpot or otherwise, are unaffected by any form of currency boosts

Honor the Divines as a Gold Road Dragoon

Both boxes can contain any of the above, but the Sublime Parcel boxes provide a higher chance to contain the more valuable rewards.
[h2]Good Deeds Go Round Tamriel[/h2]
These boxes won’t be the only bonus rewards you can enjoy during the Zeal of Zenithar event. Throughout the duration, you’ll benefit from the following modified global in-game effects:

• Wayshrine travel costs are reduced by 75%
• Repair costs on vendors are reduced by 50%
• Crafting inspiration gain from all sources is increased by 100%
• Vendor prices across Tamriel are reduced by 10%
  • These include:
    • Vendors that sell items for gold, AP, or Tel Var stones, including the Golden Vendor
    • Houses purchasable for gold

[h2]Event Tickets & Vendors[/h2]
If you participate in the Zeal of Zenithar event, you also receive three Event Tickets the first time you complete the “Honest Toil” quest each day. By the end of the event, you can collect a whopping 39 tickets!

Thankfully, the Impresario is well-stocked to help you make good use of your gathered wealth. You’ll even have your first opportunity to complete the Master of Schemes personality with the release of its third fragment.
