Gift Event Tickets during the Anniversary Jubilee and Receive Free Crown Crates!


Celebrate nine years of ESO by gifting Event Tickets to your fellow adventurers during the Anniversary Jubilee and you’ll receive four free Ragebound Crown Crates!

As part of The Elder Scrolls Online’s anniversary fun, starting today and running until April 18, 2023 at 10AM EDT, when you gift five (or more) Event Tickets to your friends or guildmates, you’ll receive four Ragebound Crown Crates from us on the house!

To get your hands on these valuable containers, follow these simple steps:
  • From the Crown Store, gift five or more Event Tickets to anybody in-game during the Anniversary Jubilee event.
    • You can find Event Tickets within the Events section.
    • You can split the gifts between multiple recipients, so all five tickets don’t need to go to the same individual.
  • Following the conclusion of the Anniversary Jubilee, you’ll receive four Ragebound Crown Crates.
    • Your Crown Crates will be delivered by May 31, 2023.

Some of the items you can acquire from Ragebound Crown Crates

If you’re the lucky recipient of a gifted Event Ticket, visit the Impresario merchant to take advantage of a variety of event-specific offers. Check out the Anniversary Jubilee announcement blog to see a complete list of items that will be in stock.

Brighten someone’s day with the gift of Event Tickets and we’ll reward your generosity with some free Crown Crates. It’s that easy! Don’t forget, this offer is available only during the Anniversary Jubilee, which ends April 18, 2023. Let us know which lucky individual  will soon be finding a shiny Event Ticket in their Gift Inventory via TwitterInstagram, and Facebook!

[h2]ESO Turns Nine![/h2]
The 2023 Anniversary Jubilee kicks off April 6 at 10am EDT and continues until April 18 at 10am EDT. Before you can join the festivities, you’ll need to grab the best part of any birthday: a delicious slice of cake. To do so, locate the free event quest, Ache for Cake, in the Quest Starters section of the in-game Crown Store or by picking up a Cake Voucher at any Jubilee Bakery Barge located in Vulkhel Guard, Davon's Watch, and Daggerfall.

Find Chef Donolon to begin!

Once you’ve completed the quest, you’ll be rewarded with this year’s scrumptious cake (called Jubilee Cake 2023), which you can summon from the Tools section in your Collections menu. Each time you take a bite of this celebratory confection during the event, you’ll receive a 2-hour 100% XP boost as well as three Event Tickets!

Remember to enjoy a slice of cake every day of the event to maximize your rewards.

If you continue to enjoy cake every day throughout the event, you can earn up to a maximum of 39 Event Tickets. Don’t forget you can only ever hold up to 12 tickets at a time, so if you receive more while already at the cap, you’ll lose them!

  • All three Passion Dancer Blossom pet fragments

Unleash the Fury of the Reach with the New Ragebound Crown Crates


Defend the Reach armed with fearsome items and collectibles found within the upcoming Ragebound Crown Crates.

***

Stalk the wilds in frost-sharpened air. Tame mounts fueled by the fury of ancient battles. Track prey along the river Karth and sing songs of glory to Red Eagle, Diamond's Doom. Do you dare take up arms alongside the witchfolk of the Reach?

These venerable clans hold fast to ancient traditions, passed down by the tale-telling vateshrans. What part will you play in their tales to come? When will you rage?

***

The new Ragebound Crown Crates arrive in the in-game Crown Store this Thursday, March 30 at 10AM EDT. You can acquire these wrathful crates one by one or in various packages including a brand-new 25-crate bundle that features an all-new polymorph (more on that below)! Ragebound crates contain a thunderous host of items sure to strike fear into the hearts of your foes. You can see just some examples of the new collectibles you may discover in these crates below.

Ragebound Durzog mount & Orb of the Spirit Queen furnishing

Ragebound Harness costume & Reach Witch Removal customized action

As you might have come to expect, there are also some extremely rare Radiant Apex mounts that you have a chance to unlock each time you open a Ragebound crate.

Voidmother’s Welwa mount

Icerage Bear & Harrowforged Durzog mounts

These crates are available in your typical one-, four-, and 15-crate bundles. However, for the first time, we’re also introducing a new 25-crate bundle as a one-time purchase that, in addition to the crates, ALSO includes the fearsome Shade polymorph.

The Ragebound Crate Bundle

Note that the Shade polymorph is automatically unlocked and added to your collectibles when you acquire this one-off bundle and is not included in the crates themselves.

This is just a sample of the spoils you can seize from Ragebound Crown Crates. To review a full list of this new crate’s contents, visit this thread on our official forums. Be warned, when Ragebound arrives, the former Stonelore Crown Crates will no longer be available, so don’t hesitate to grab them while you can, too! 

Ragebound Crown Crates arrive this Thursday, March 30 at 10AM EDT, and can be found within the Crown Crate section of the in-game Crown Store. Are you ready to bring the fury of the Reach to your foes? Let us know via TwitterInstagram, and Facebook!

Earn Bizarre Rewards During the Jester’s Festival Event!


Spread mirth and mayhem across all of Tamriel with the return of the Jester’s Festival in-game event.

The Jester’s Festival event returns on March 29 at 10:00AM EDT and will continue until April 6 10:00AM EDT! During Tamriel’s silliest season, you can acquire buffs to XP gains and earn ridiculous rewards by completing special event-specific quests.

Prepared to participate in Nirn’s most-preposterous party? Travel to the jester pavilions found within the cities of Ebonheart, Vulkhel Guard, and Daggerfall, and meet with one of three jesters masquerading as Jorunn the Skald-King, Queen Ayrenn, or High King Emeric. If you find yourself getting all topsy-turvy searching for these sites, navigate to the Crown Store and acquire the Jester's Festival Invitation Quest.

The ridiculous rule during the Jester’s Festival

After you’ve completed the introductory quest, you’ll earn the delectable Pie of Misrule memento reward, which can be located within the Tools section of your Collections. Devour this tasty treat during the event period, and you’ll be granted a 2-hour long 100% XP buff!
[h2]Crack Open Crates![/h2]
During the Jester’s Festival, you can complete various event-specific daily quests. For each quest you complete, you’ll receive one Jester's Festival Box as compensation for your hard work. Even better, the first Jester’s Festival quest you complete each day will replace your normal reward with a Stupendous Jester's Festival Box, containing even-more fantastical prizes!

All boxes can include the following items:
  • Festive Dazzlers
  • Cherry Blossom Confetti
  • Revelry Pies
  • Festive Furnishings
  • Jesters Festival Provisioning Recipes
  • Treasures that can be sold to vendors for Gold
  • Previous years’ style pages

On top of the above prizes, the Stupendous Jester’s Festival Box has a chance to contain the following goodies:

  • Cherry Blossom Branch Runebox
  • Cadwell's Kitchen Weapon Style Page
  • High value Treasures
  • Festive noise maker parts 
  • Joke Popper Fragments
  • New: Jester's Minstrel Daedroth Costume Fragment

In addition to the above, Stupendous Jester’s Festival Boxes also have a small chance to include the following items instead of a Costume Fragment.
  • New: Bucket Style Page
  • New: Broom Style Page
  • previously available style page

New Jester’s Festival rewards

Don’t miss the event quest introduced just last year, Getting the Band Together. You can kick this quest off by speaking to Samuel Gourone, who can be found at each festival pavilion. As a reward for completing this quest, you’ll receive an additional daily reward box!
[h2]Snag Zany Prizes[/h2]
During the event, you will earn three Event Tickets for the first Jester’s Festival quest completed each day. That means you can earn up to 24 tickets total! DON’T FORGET: The maximum number of Event Tickets you can carry is 12 at a time. If you earn more while already at the ticket cap, they’ll be lost to Oblivion!

Take these Event Tickets to the Impresario event merchant and you’ll be able to trade them for the following wares:
  • All three Passion Dancer Blossom pet fragments
    • Chartreuse Lily Petals
    • Enchanted Silver Flute
    • Mystical Sheet Music
  • The all three fragments for the Passion's Muse personality
    • Bottle of Silver Mist
    • Delicate Dancer's Baton
    • Pressed Lily Petal Insoles
  • New: Bound fragments for the Jester's Minstrel Daedroth Costume
  • New: Bound Style Page: Bucket
  • New: Bound Style Page: Broom
  • New: Hide Shoulder Collectible

If you miss your chance to snag the Hide Shoulder Collectible during this Jester’s Festival, don’t worry! You’ll be able to return to her assistant, Philius Dormier, at any time and pick up the Collectible there.

Additionally, the second and third fragments of the Passion's Muse personality, the Delicate Dancer's Baton and the Pressed Lily Petal Insoles, all arrive during this period.

The Passion’s Muse personality

Be sure to grab it and any of the other fragments you need so you can complete the set!
