Crown Lesson: Riding Stamina ×4—Day 7

Go for longer with Riding Stamina

Sure, it helps to go fast, but when traversing Tamriel, stamina can be just as important as speed. Use these tomes to help your steed(s) maintain their pace for as long as possible.






Flint Pelt Fox Mount—Day 10

Ride a brand-new mount

The Flint Pelt Fox strikes a dashing figure, and even more so while you’re riding atop it! This new in-game mount would make great use of the above stamina lessons from earlier in the week.






Grand Gold Coast Experience Scroll  ×1—Day 14

Level up fast with an experience scroll

No matter what adventures you’re on, whether you’re racing to hit level 50, CP 160, or even greater power, we know that a 150% boost to experience gains is always welcome.  




Instant All Research Scroll ×2—Day 21

Research traits quickly with these scrolls

If you’re on the path to become a master crafter, these Instant All Research Scrolls can help you unlock new traits in no time by reducing the time it takes to research for Blacksmithing, Clothing, Woodworking, and Jewelry Crafting by one day.

Of course, these are just a few of the useful in-game rewards you can earn by logging in to Tamriel each day during the month of August 2023. To see the complete list, visit the Daily Rewards section of the in-game Crown Store starting August 1! Are you excited to unlock a new mount and more while adventuring next month?

Work Hard to Earn Bonus Rewards During the Zeal of Zenithar In-Game Event!


The God of Commerce ensures hard work pays off for the laborers of Tamriel during the Zeal of Zenithar in-game event.
[h2]Honest Labor Rewarded[/h2]
The Zeal of Zenithar in-game event returns on July 27 at 10AM EDT, and it runs until August 8 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."

Find Amminus Vario to begin

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 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.

Alternatively, if you prefer to earn your rewards through less-than-honest means, you may discover parcels scattered across Tamriel by pickpocketing citizens and looting strongboxes or thieves troves. Why not let others do all the hard work for you?

Within either parcel box (Sublime or Delightful), there is a chance to receive the following rewards:
  • A tradeable outfit style page for the new Kwama Miner’s Kit outfit style armor
  • A tradeable outfit style page for the new Ashen Militia weapon 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

Earn new outfit and weapon styles

Both boxes can contain these goodies, but the Sublime Parcel boxes provide a higher chance to contain the more valuable rewards.
[h2]Global Event Modifiers[/h2]
These boxes won’t be the only bonus rewards you can enjoy during the Zeal of Zenithar event. Throughout the duration, all players 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 & the Impresario [/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! But don’t forget: 12 Event Tickets is the maximum number you can carry at any one time. If you happen to earn more while already at the cap, Zenithar will penalize you for your hoarding by not rewarding any tickets!

After you’ve gathered enough Event Tickets, head on over to the Impresario’s tent and exchange them for any of the following rewards:
  • All three Passion Dancer Blossom pet fragments
    • Chartreuse Lily Petals
    • Enchanted Silver Flute
    • Mystical Sheet Music
  • First Passion Dancer Garment costume fragment
    • Bolt of Indigo Cotton
  • Bound style pages for the Kwama Miner’s Kit outfit style armor
  • Bound style pages for the Ashen Militia weapon style
  • Group Repair Kits
  • Companion Guild Commendations

Earn the first fragment for the Passion Dancer Garment

Additionally, during the event, the Impresario’s Assistant Philius Dormier offers the following goodies:
  • All three Unstable Morpholith pet fragments
    • Deadlands Flint
    • Rune-Etched Striker
    • Smoldering Bloodgrass Tinder
  • All three Deadlands Firewalker personality fragments
    • Vial of Simmering Daedric Brew
    • Vial of Bubbling Daedric Brew
    • Vial of Scalding Daedric Brew

Last but certainly not least, the Indrik vendor Nenulaure’s shop is stocked with the following items:
  • Nascent Indrik Feathers
  • Onyx Indrik Berries
  • Mossheart Indrik Berries
  • Ebon-Glow Indrik pet
  • Sapling Indrik pet
