[h2]’Tis the Season in Tamriel[/h2]
The New Life Festival in-game event begins Thursday, December 15, 2022, at 10AM EST, and continues until Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at 10AM EST. If you’d like to take part in this end-of-year jubilee, you’ll first need to acquire the event’s starter quest, “The New Life Festival,” located within the in-game Crown Store.

Once you’ve acquired the quest, make your way to the New Life Herald Breda’s tent, found south of the city of Windhelm, Eastmarch. You can also teleport directly to her location via the portal found at any Impresario location. Completing this quest grants you Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug, which can be used from your Collectibles/Tools menu to gain a +100% XP buff for two hours during the event runtime.

Find New Life Herald Breda to begin!

Upon completing the introductory quest, you unlock 10 event-specific daily quests, nine from Breda and one from Petronius Galenus. These special assignments send you to each of the four corners of Tamriel, spreading holiday cheer wherever you go.

[h2]Impresario & Event Tickets[/h2]
Throughout this holiday event, the first New Life Festival daily quest you complete rewards three Event Tickets in addition to the reward box. This means you can earn up to a whopping 60 Event Tickets by the end! However, keep in mind that you can hold up to 12 Event Tickets at any one time, so any further tickets you receive while already at cap are lost.
