The Elder Scrolls Online News

I was invited to a preview of The Elder Scrolls Online's 10th anniversary Direct showcase earlier this week—and it looks like it's pulling out all the stops. TESO has spent the last 10 years hopping from setting to setting, taking players on a world tour of Tamriel—to Morrowind, Elsweyr, Blackwood, Telvanni—you name it, players have probably gone there...

Savor a slice and claim exclusive rewards while celebrating ESO’s birthday during the Anniversary Jubilee in-game event!

[h2]ESO Turns Eleven![/h2]
Celebrate another year of adventures in Tamriel during the 2025 Anniversary Jubilee in-game event from April 3 at 10AM EDT and until April 22 at 10AM EDT. Throughout the jubilee period, you can earn various bonus rewards while enjoying a passive 100% XP buff. Veteran players might recall that this buff was once obtained by eating slices of anniversary cake, and while the cake is no longer necessary to obtain the bonus XP, that doesn’t mean you shouldn't secure a slice of this sweet treat!

To earn this year’s anniversary treat, complete the quest “For Cake’s Sake,” which you can acquire by either speaking with the young Khajiit chef, Apprentice Mogh, near the docks of Vulkhel Guard, Davon’s Watch, and Daggerfall, or by picking it up for free in the Quest Starters section of the in-game Crown Store.

Help Mogh and share a slice!

After securing the 2025 Jubilee Cake memento, you can use the item once per day to earn three Event Tickets each day of the event. Eat a slice of cake every day, and you’ll collect up to a whopping 60 Event Tickets by the festival’s conclusion!

[h2]Collect Celebratory Prizes[/h2]
XP gains, event tickets, and cake aren’t the only things to look forward to, since during the event, you can also earn exclusive Anniversary Jubilee Gift Boxes, offering multitudes of exciting rewards you won’t want to miss out on. Even better, the first Gift Box you collect each day will be a Glorious Anniversary Jubilee Gift Box containing even more incredible rewards!

You can obtain Gift Boxes from any of the following sources (bear in mind that only the first Gift Box earned each day will be a Glorious box, no matter where you get it):

Join the new Vengeance Alliance War campaign and help us test changes and collect data that could inform future improvements to the game.

[h2]Put Cyrodiil to the Test[/h2]
Part of the ongoing effort to improve performance and stability in ESO’s open-world PvP experience, Cyrodill Champions has now found its way to the PC/Mac live servers with the Vengeance campaign.

This test Alliance War campaign is now live until the morning of March 31 (during scheduled maintenance). Note that during this time, this will be the ONLY Alliance War campaign available for PC/Mac players.

If you’d like to help us test changes to Cyrodiil and its open-world combat, you can do so by following the process below:

1. Navigate to the Alliance War menu
   1. Either by pressing L on your keyboard or navigating direct via the UI
2. Select the Campaigns tab
3. Select Cyrodiil and then the Vengeance campaign

[h2]Vengeance Campaign[/h2]
The Vengeance campaign is open to all players level 10-50 and introduces a special ruleset to the Alliance War, templatizing player builds to help improve stability.

• All players have normalized stats regardless of level
• Each Class has a modified set of abilities and items
• While in Vengeance, you cannot change your class
• While in Vengeance, you cannot access your bank, vendors, or crafting nodes
• Only Experience Points, Alliance Points, gold, and Champion Points are retained upon leaving the campaign, and no items can be taken out
• The Champion System is disabled in this campaign
• All quests are disabled in this campaign

Upon entering the campaign, your character is changed to match a specific template for their class. As mentioned above, this includes pre-determined abilities, attributes, consumables, and item sets. It also includes a backpack of supplies that cannot be removed from the campaign.

Note that the templatizing of characters is an experiment and does not necessarily mean that these changes will be made to the Alliance War in the future. By introducing templatized characters for this specific test, we can isolate the variables that impact performance, helping us plan future improvements.

For more, check out this Vengeance Campaign Q&A on the official forums.

Not only does this campaign help test Cyrodiil’s performance while under specific conditions, but it also allows you to battle your fellow players on a completely even playing field. No matter your experience level or items, everybody who enters the Vengeance campaign is at the same power level—leaving only your skill to determine the victor!

[h2]Help Us Help Cyrodiil[/h2]
As you fight to control Cyrodiil, a bonus Golden Pursuits campaign is running at the same time, allowing you (on any platform) to earn even more Gold and Alliance Points. Take up arms on behalf of your chosen Alliance and help us chart the future of ESO’s open-world PvP game mode—we need you!

Don’t forget, this test is for PC/Mac users only (although anybody can complete the Golden Pursuits activities and earn the bonus rewards) and is now live until March 31. Are you ready to return to Cyrodiil? Let us know via X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Bluesky, and Facebook.

Spread cheer and chaos in equal measure to receive raucous rewards during this year’s Jester’s Festival in-game event!

[h2]A Festive Frolic for All[/h2]
The Jester’s Festival in-game event makes its grand return on March 27 at 10AM EDT and will continue until April 3 at 10AM EDT, 2025. Once the fun begins, you can enjoy increases to XP gains and revel in raucous rewards after completing event-specific quests.

To receive admission to the festivities, head over to the event pavilions located within Ebonheart, Vulkhel Guard, or Daggerfall, and speak with one of the three jesters posing as an alliance leader. If the buffoonery of the bash is making your head spin while trying to locate these event sites, open the in-game Crown Store and pick up the Jester's Festival Invitation Quest.

Everybody’s getting in on the party

Upon completing the introductory quest, you’ll earn the delectable Pie of Misrule memento reward, which can be located within the Mementos section of your Collections. However, unlike some previous years, you will no longer need to obtain or use the Pie of Misrule to take advantage of the 100% XP buff. This bonus will now be shared passively to all adventurers participating in Tamriel’s most hilarious holiday. Still, the Pie doesn’t seem to get stale despite the time passing, so feel free to dig in!

[h2]Complete Quixotic Quests, Grab Goofy Goodies[/h2]
Throughout the Jester’s Festival, you can pick up various event-specific daily quests. For each one completed, you’ll receive a Jester's Festival Box. Furthermore, the first Jester’s Festival daily quest you complete each day will reward you with one Stupendous Jester's Festival Box.

Each of these boxes can include the following items:

• Festive Dazzlers
• Cherry Blossom Confetti
• Revelry Pies
• Festive furnishings
• Jester’s Festival provisioning recipes
• Treasures that can be sold to vendors for Gold
• Previous years’ style pages
• One of the following:
  • A random unbound page for either the Broom or Bucket styles.

    • Jester’s Daedroth Suit costume

In addition to the aforementioned rewards, the Stupendous Jester’s Festival Box has a chance to contain the following goodies:

  • Note that this style consists of head and chest pages for each alliance
• NEW: An unbound Jester’s Deadly Headband adornment Runebox
• Jester's Scintillator Runebox
• Cherry Blossom Branch Runebox
• Cadwell's Kitchen weapon style page
• High-value treasures

Alliance Mimicry Styles and Jester’s Deadly Headband adornment

[h2]Event Tickets and Merchants[/h2]
During the festivities, you can collect three Event Tickets for the first Jester’s Festival quest completed each day. Participating in the festivities every day of the event can earn you up to 24 tickets total.

Note that the total number of Event Tickets you can carry at one time is capped at 12. If you are close to the limit, then be sure to spend a few to avoid wasting any Tickets. That’d be a little too silly even for Jester’s Festival!

Never one to miss a party, the Impresario has special wares on sale during the event:

• All three Stonewisp of Truth and Law pet fragments
  • Axiomatic Runestones
  • Glyph of Law
