Thanks for the helpful link, Khajiit!

Ooh, thanks for keeping us posted on the latest news, Khajiit! For some reason I don't get these notices till days after you get them! (Urk).

No prob mALX! It comes straight from the official site. Khajiit checks it like everyday, lol

So THAT is your secret!!! Is there a link for that?

I can't believe they mail out emails that don't come for days after they have posted it on their site; why not mail them out as soon as they post it? Grrrrr.

Link for ESO Official Site’s news page. Khajiit has it bookmarked, lol

I always find things out by browsing ESO's subreddit tbh.

Also I forgot the festival began today. Bring it on. (Don't think Eolan will be wearing the, ah, uniform this year.)

I have to admit = didn't wear the New Life uniform last year either; but boy did I love to see others in it! I think I did get one shot of one of my girls modeling one of the hoodie-hats though:

What is this uniform you speak of?

Ooh, thanks! I bookmarked it too!

I suspect perhaps it is the Nordic Towel with one of the hoods - all Festigifts and, of course, deplorable fashion-wise...

Oh yeah, Mira may, or may not have worn that combo, lol

Khajiit is surprised at how ill fitting the New Life hood is with most outfits. This one thought for sure it would have gone well with the Glenmoril robe but nope, you can see the characters lower neck between it and the robe. It seems to go better with armor.

Eolan's wearing the towel for the Snow Bear event in Eastmarch, at least.

The drunk Nord near the fire implied he wasn't good-looking again.

Here's Buffy warming up after last year's Nord challenge - before she got her Tinkerbell Nordic towel.

Screenshot.

Buffy, Eolan, and Misa (? I couldn’t tell by her armor and swords, just guessing) look outstandingly festive whether bare, bundled up, or in between. I love Eolan’s expression at the drunken Nord’s comment!

After the first round of quests Jerric put some clothes back on. His festival uniform changed a little this year. Since there are three iterations of Jerric, he has three New Life outfits. He wears either a blue stevedore’s jerkin with the plain fur hood, a brown stevedore’s jerkin with the non-pinecone cowboy broadbrim hat, or just his towel and the hat. He’s sporting some dragon body paint at the moment, so the towel look is surprising when he pops up on the login screen.

He was very happy when Mikken scored the knife juggling rune box in his only gift box. Mikken is not doing the quests, but the whole crew each went out to meet Breda and get a present in the hope of finding some toys for Jerric.

Mira got juggling, and swordswallowing runeboxes earlier today and also completed the New Life achievements for the “Magnanimous” title.

Now that you mention those swords, I think you might be right that it is Misa. She is the one that had the Soul Shriven swords; and that DOES look like Soul Shriven hilts!

I am loving all these screenshots!!! That is probably the second most fun of the festival; seeing everyone else's screens of their runs!






Congratulations!!! WOO HOO !!!!!!!!

** Always wondered what that title came from, lol.

Oddly enough, the one achievement she was lacking from last year was the one where you have to drink the Betnik Twice Spiced Ale after eating and drinking (and burping) at the fortress. Had to get Brenna to earn and learn the recipe (didn’t have one in the bank), and then she made a sample and put it in the bank so Mira would have it.

Two of my girls missed that one, it seems that the keg they have there in that fortress doesn't contain the right drink to give you the achievement. So I went and made some, stuck it in the bank so my girls can just pull some out and drink it.

Yeah the keg at the fortress contains Betnik Spiced Ale. The thing you are supposed to drink is Betnik Twice Spiced Ale, which is why Khajiit missed this (because of the name similarity). Couldn’t recall if you can get a sample in the gift boxes, and Mira knows the recipe but lacked the skill to brew it so Brenna had to do it.

Same here; discovered it on Britta; who has no skills whatsoever for crafting (although she actually did know the recipe).
