ESO Events 2023: Jester’s Festival Guide

The Jester’s Festival offers one of ESO’s most valuable temporary buffs—a 100% experience gain increase—alongside exclusive cosmetic items and collectibles. What makes this event particularly accessible is that only the base game is required, no additional chapters or DLC needed. This year’s celebration kicks off on March 29th, providing ample opportunity for both new and veteran players to participate. If you’re unfamiliar with ESO’s event systems, the NPC guides Zurga and Tianlein provide comprehensive guidance on event mechanics and reward acquisition.

Begin your festival journey by claiming the introductory quest directly from the Crown Store interface. This initial task requires visiting one of three designated festival tents located in Stonefalls, Auridon, or Glenumbra. Upon locating the Jester King or Queen at these locations, complete the dialogue interaction to receive your first major reward: the Pie of Misrule collectible. This consumable item provides a substantial 2-hour 100% experience bonus that remains active throughout the entire event duration.

The festival features seven distinct repeatable daily quests that reset each morning. Strategic players can complete these across multiple characters daily to significantly increase reward acquisition. The quest distribution spans multiple zones with specific location requirements:

• Royal Revelry (Glenumbra)
• Springtime Flair (Auridon)
• A Noble Guest (Stonefalls)
• Prankster’s Carnival (Stonefalls)
• A Foe Most Porcine (Stormhaven)
• The King’s Spoils (Stormhaven)
• Getting the Band Together (Stonefalls, Auridon, or Glenumbra)

Pro tip: Start with “Getting the Band Together” as it’s completable in any of the three main festival zones, making it ideal for characters already positioned in those areas.

Jester’s Festival Box (Purple-Quality)

Completing any daily quest rewards standard Jester’s Festival Boxes containing various valuable items. These purple-quality containers can yield crafting materials, unique recipes, housing furnishings, additional Revelry Pies, and fragments for the new Playful Prankster’s Surprise Box memento.

Stupendous Jester’s Festival Box (Gold-Quality)

Your first completed quest each day provides premium rewards: three Event Tickets plus a Stupendous Jester’s Festival Box. This gold-quality version offers enhanced drop rates for premium items including Mirth Shards, Revelry Shards, Sovereign Sow pet fragments, Cadwell’s Weapon Outfit Styles, Regal Regalia Armor Outfit Style pages, and Second Seed Outfit Style pages.

*Critical reminder: Event Tickets cap at twelve maximum, requiring regular spending at the Impresario to avoid wasting potential earnings.

New 2023 Items

Jester’s Daedroth Suit

This year introduces the visually striking Jester’s Daedroth Suit alongside Broom and Bucket weapon styles. Acquiring the complete Daedroth Suit requires collecting ten Scraps of Minstrel’s Cloth, which drop from Stupendous Jester’s Festival Boxes or can be purchased directly from the Impresario store.

The Broom Style page changes your two-handed weapon appearance

The Bucket Style page changes your Helmet appearance

The Impresario serves as your primary event vendor, offering exclusive items available only during the festival period:

• Passion Dancer Blossom Pet Fragments
• Companion Guild Commendation
• Passion’s Muse Personality Fragments
• Broom and Bucket Style Pages
• Hide Shoulders Ability
• Impresario’s Group Repair Kit
• Scraps of Minstrel’s Cloth

Hide Shoulders Ability

The Hide Shoulders ability represents a highly sought-after collectible that enables players to conceal shoulder armor pieces on their characters. Once purchased, this feature unlocks account-wide. Implementation requires visiting any Outfit Station, selecting the shoulder equipment slot, and activating the hide option. Important: Applying this cosmetic change costs 500 gold per use at the Outfit Station.

After the festival concludes, the Hide Shoulders ability remains available for purchase using five Event Tickets from Philius Dormier, the Impresario’s assistant, who maintains permanent presence at festival tents throughout the year.

Located in Belkarth, vendor Nenulaure specializes in Indrik mount-related items:

• Nascent Indrik Mount Feathers
• Dawnwood Indrik Mount Berries
• Spectral Indrik Mount Berries
• Haunting Indrik
• Springtide Indrik

The Nascent Indrik serves as the foundational mount version, but critically disappears permanently once evolved into Dawnwood or Spectral variants. Reacquiring the basic Nascent Indrik requires completely recollecting its constituent feathers from scratch.
