Adventure in Northern and Southern Elsweyr during the Pan-Elsweyr Celebration in-game event and you’ll unlock new rewards, bonus loot, and Event Tickets.

The Pan-Elsweyr Celebration in-game event begins Thursday, July 22 at 10AM EDT, and will run until August 3 at 10AM EDT. During this event period, you can receive bonus loot, unique event rewards, and Event Tickets by exploring and adventuring in the regions of Northern and Southern Elsweyr (from the Elsweyr and Dragonhold DLCs, respectively).

To get started, simply grab the introductory quest titled “A Visit to Elsweyr” from the in-game Crown Store or travel directly to the two unique zones.

If you don’t own Elsweyr or Dragonhold, you can acquire both from the in-game Crown Store on sale during the event period, with 50% off the Elsweyr DLC (and 50% off the Elsweyr Collector’s Pack!) as well as the new addition of the Season of the Dragon mega-pack, which includes the Dragonhold, Wrathstone, and Scalebreaker DLCs.


Get Elsweyr and explore the home of the Khajiit

Don’t forget, you can get access to all of the above DLCs with an active ESO Plus™ membership, too!
