Give to Receive During the New Life Festival & Get Free Crown Crates
You can receive four free Crown Crates when you gift Event Tickets during the New Life Festival in-game event.
Get into the spirit this holiday season by gifting your fellow players five Event Tickets from now until January 3, 2023 at 10AM EST, and you’ll receive four Stonelore Crown Crates free from us! To acquire these druid-blessed containers after the event, follow these simple steps:
From the Crown Store, gift five or more Event Tickets to anybody in-game during the New Life Festival event.
You can find Event Tickets within the Events section.
You can split the gifts between multiple recipients, meaning all five tickets don’t necessarily have to go to the same player.
Once the New Life Festival event has concluded, we’ll grant you four Stonelore Crown Crates.
The Crown Crate delivery will occur by January 31, 2023.
Within these crates, you will find an assortment of Y’ffre-touched items and collectibles.

You can check out the complete list of items she will have in stock during the New Life Festival in our announcement blog. With a host of returning and new event items now available from the Impresario and the promise of free Crown Crates as additional rewards, there’s no better way to kick off the holiday season than by gifting your fellow players Event Tickets.
Let us know whether you’ll be surprising your friends and guildmates with the gift that gives back via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Don’t forget, this offer is available only during the New Life Festival and ends January 3, 2023—happy gifting!

’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.
