Share a mead with Breda, the New Life Herald

Complete the initial quest titled “The New Life Festival” to unlock a host of New Life-themed and festive daily quests (nine in total) that have you bring cheer to every corner of Tamriel. Once you’ve completed your first New Life Festival quest, you’ll also have unlocked the Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug collectible, which, in addition to greatly improving the mirth of those who imbibe, provides a two-hour, 100% boost to XP gains during the event period. This boon will stack with any other XP bonuses your character currently has, including those from XP scrolls or ESO Plus membership.

Receive Gift Boxes

By taking part in the New Life Festival and completing the Herald’s quests, you’ll earn New Life Festival Gift Boxes. These celebratory containers house random items, including crafting materials, consumables, and style items. If you’re fortunate, you might also receive one of these rarer rewards, too:

Skinchanger Motif chapters

New Life recipes

New Life collectibles (packaged in Runeboxes and tradeable):

Sword-Swallower's Blade memento



Juggler's Knives memento



Fire-Breather's Torches memento



Mud Ball Pouch memento



Nordic Bather's Towel costume



Colovian Filigreed Hood hat



Colovian Fur Hood hat

A selection of lights, lamps, and lanterns for your home to celebrate the Signal Fire Sprint

Draughts of Stealth and Escape to celebrate the Trial of Five-Clawed Guile

New Life Charity Writs

In addition to the above rewards, New Life Festival Gift Boxes can now also include New Life Charity Writs! These new, event-exclusive writs task you with creating simple furnishing items to donate in the spirit of the season. Once you’ve completed one of these new writs, you can turn it in to any writ return location for its item type. If you don’t have the recipe required to craft the writ, visit the relevant crafting vendor to pick it up.

Of course, performing this good deed is its own reward, but in addition to a philanthropic sense of satisfaction, if you complete 12 Charity Writs on a single character, you’ll unlock the “Newly Charitable” Achievement, granting you the incredible Crystalfrost skin!
