Make Merry & Earn Special Rewards During the New Life Festival Event!


Pick up the final fragment of the Sacred Hourglass of Alkosh and other goodies during Tamriel’s end-of-year celebration.

’Tis the Season in Tamriel


The New Life Festival in-game event begins Thursday, December 15, 2022, at 10AM EST, and continues until Tuesday, January 3, 2023, at 10AM EST. If you’d like to take part in this end-of-year jubilee, you’ll first need to acquire the event’s starter quest, “The New Life Festival,” located within the in-game Crown Store.

Once you’ve acquired the quest, make your way to the New Life Herald Breda’s tent, found south of the city of Windhelm, Eastmarch. You can also teleport directly to her location via the portal found at any Impresario location. Completing this quest grants you Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug, which can be used from your Collectibles/Tools menu to gain a +100% XP buff for two hours during the event runtime.

Find New Life Herald Breda to begin!

Upon completing the introductory quest, you unlock 10 event-specific daily quests, nine from Breda and one from Petronius Galenus. These special assignments send you to each of the four corners of Tamriel, spreading holiday cheer wherever you go.

No Good Deed Goes Un-gifted

Impresario & Event Tickets

This means you can earn up to a whopping 60 Event Tickets by the end!

    • Illuminated Dragon Scroll
