MMO expansion ESO Gold Road gets first sale along with special event

One of the best things about the Elder Scrolls Online, especially for fans of the series like me, is getting to see the wider continent of Tamriel from a different perspective. There are areas that haven't been in the series before, at least not since Arena, and plenty of others we've seen more recently but are updated, changed, and shown in a new light. The West Weald is one, previously seen in Oblivion, and now explorable in the latest expansion for the MMO, Gold Road. If you've been waiting to give it a try, now might be your chance as it's on sale for the first time since launch.

Seek Ayleid Relics to Unlock Rewards during the Fallen Leaves of West Weald Event


Delve into the history of the Heartland elves and unlock special rewards for all Gold Road players during a new event!

The Fallen Leaves of West Weald in-game event kicks off on Thursday, September 26 at 10AM EDT and continues until Tuesday, October 8. During the event, you can seek out lost relics of the ancient Ayleid empire, learn about the history surrounding Cyrodiil’s ancient rulers, and unlock collectible rewards for ALL Gold Road Chapter owners.
[h2]Seek Lost Knowledge, Together![/h2]
Throughout the event period, you can acquire the new daily quest, “Fallen Leaves of West Weald,” available from Gandrinar, located outside the Skingrad Impresario’s tent. To complete this new daily, collect lost Ayleid relics, bundle them, and bring them back to Gandrinar. Doing so will grant event quest rewards (and on occasion, some additional lore about the region’s ancient rulers), in addition to progressing the Fallen Leaves of West Weald meter, found on the event’s official page.

As the community completes the new daily quest, they help progress a new event meter, unlocking three tiers of rewards:
  • 33%—Vineyard Voriplasm pet
  • 66% —Luminescing Varla Stone memento
  • 100%—Russet Brekka mount, Tree-Sap Legion arms pack, and a nesting rewards box

Unlock these event rewards

When the event ends on October 8 (or as soon the meter reaches 100%), the community can claim all unlocked rewards free from the in-game Crown Store for a limited time. Note that these rewards can be unlocked and claimed ONLY by Gold Road Chapter players, so if you’ve yet to own ESO’s latest adventure, be sure to pick it up.

Be sure to visit the official Fallen Leaves of West Weald page often to check the community’s progress and see what rewards have been unlocked.

Bonus Explorer’s Celebration

In addition to the event’s main meter and rewards, you and your fellow players can also unlock additional days of the subsequent Explorer’s Celebration event by completing ANY quests within the West Weald zone.

For every 33% of the bonus meter completed (also found on the official event page), we’ll enable three days of the Explorer’s Celebration. This bonus mini-event kicks off as soon as the Fallen Leaves of West Weald event ends on October 8 and grants additional XP, Gold, and resource harvesting for everybody in Tamriel during the event period.
[h2]Earn Coffers While Adventuring[/h2]
While the event (and community chase) is ongoing, you can receive a special Sublime Fallen Leaves Coffer for the first West Weald zone daily quest you complete each day AND then earn regular Fallen Leaves Coffers for various activities after.

Note that you can also acquire regular Fallen Leaves Coffers by defeating bosses and monsters, harvesting resource nodes, pickpocketing, or opening treasure chests, safeboxes, psijic portals, Thieves Troves, or other lootable objects within West Weald.

Fallen Leaves Coffers can contain the following items:
  • A chance for random crafting materials
  • A chance for a Gold Road saleable treasure
  • A chance for a style item for Gold Road motifs
    • Lucent Guardian
    • West Weald Legion

Note that the once-daily Sublime Fallen Leaves Coffer has a higher chance of containing the above rewards than the regular one, but there’s no limit to the number of regular coffers you can earn in a single day.
