Elder Scrolls Online players are in for a treat as QuakeCon brings an unexpected five-day surge of 100% XP boost. With Scrolls and Ambrosia at the ready, it's time to capitalize on this opportunity and power through some efficient XP grinding. This article delves into the top five grind spots that can help players earn XP rapidly during the QuakeCon event. 1. Alik’r Desert Dolmens: Alik’r Desert Dolmens circuit offers a convenient and speedy XP grind. With all three dolmens situated near wayshrines, players can easily loop through them. The presence of fellow players on the same grind makes this a collaborative effort. The beauty of this grind lies in its accessibility; even with a non-combat build, players can contribute by dealing a bit of damage to everything. 2. Spellscar, Craglorn: The expansive and popular zone of Spellscar in lower Craglorn is a prime location for efficient XP accumulation. Filled with numerous zombies and quick respawns, it's ideal for those who can handle a fast-paced approach. However, its popularity might lead to congestion during XP events. 3. Skyreach, Craglorn: Skyreach Catacombs in upper Craglorn, while not the best, boasts a crucial advantage - it's instance-based. The ability to reset quickly and refresh mobs without disruption from other players enhances its appeal, especially during XP events. 4. Blackrose Prison (BRP): Blackrose Prison, a group arena in Murkmire, offers exceptional XP gain for time invested. While more challenging, it provides significant rewards. Particularly effective with a partner, the most efficient method involves a two-player group on Normal difficulty, clearing waves until the boss appears. Exiting the instance, resetting the difficulty, and re-entering is a strategic way to maximize gains. 5. Master Writs: For those who appreciate a crafting-focused approach, Master Writs offer a unique path to swift leveling. This method can be expensive, unless you've prepared for an XP event. Specializing in Alchemy and Enchanting is recommended, as these disciplines require less effort to level up. The absence of Style Pages or recipes adds to the convenience. Maximize the Event: During the QuakeCon 100% XP boost weekend, players should remember to don their training gear and utilize XP Scrolls or drinks to enhance the XP gains even further. Additionally, players with ESO Plus subscription and those in a group with at least one other person will benefit from an additional 10% XP boost each. The QuakeCon 100% XP boost event in Elder Scrolls Online presents an ideal occasion for players to dive into intense XP grinding. Whether it's the accessible Alik’r Desert Dolmens, the bustling Spellscar, or the strategic Blackrose Prison, players have several options to choose from based on their playstyle. The event's limited time frame underscores the importance of efficient grinding techniques. As adventurers embark on this XP-boosted journey, they can fine-tune their approach and earn valuable experience points that will help them advance in the world of Tamriel.

The Witches Festival has returned to The Elder Scrolls Online, bringing with it a plethora of treats, rewards, and festivities for players to enjoy. This guide delves into the heart of the event, detailing how to acquire rewards, event tickets, the contents of reward skulls, what the event stores offer, and provides insights into the 100% experience (EXP) bonus. As ESO adventurers prepare to embrace the spooky spirit of the Witches Festival, let's explore what's in store. The Introductory Quest: To embark on the Witches Festival adventure, players can obtain the introductory quest from the Crown Store. The quest involves interacting with Witchmother Olyve and collecting items such as Pumpkin, Guts, and Essence of Death from delve bosses. These components are integral to the event and initiate the festive atmosphere. 100% EXP Boost Clarification: Previous festivals provided players with a whistle that granted a 100% EXP boost upon completion of the introductory quest. However, in this year's festival, the experience boost seems to be linked to a scroll rather than the whistle itself, possibly due to a misunderstanding on the Public Test Server (PTS). Upon the event's official launch, players are advised to use the whistle to verify if the intended EXP boost is functioning correctly. Skulls, Tickets, and Reward Boxes: Acquiring Dremora Plunder Skulls and event tickets is central to the Witches Festival. Boss kills yield two tickets, while Dremora Plunder Skulls can be obtained from initial boss kills, offering a golden skull, and subsequent kills providing purple skulls. This structure applies to both world bosses and dungeon final bosses. Contents of Dremora Plunder Skulls: Dremora Plunder Skulls house an array of enticing rewards, including runeboxes with mementos, Witches Festival crafting motifs, alchemy supplies, baits, eerie furnishings, recipes, style materials, saleable treasures, crafting writs, treasure maps, and the coveted Ghost Netch Pet. The Role of Impresario: The Impresario plays a pivotal role in the Witches Festival, offering a diverse range of items in various locations. These locations include base game areas like Glenumbra, Auridon, Stonefalls, Craglorn, and Vvardenfell, as well as DLC locations such as Summerset, Blackwood, Northern Elsweyr, Western Skyrim, High Isle, and Telvanni Peninsula. And here is the full list of the store’s items: Passion Dancer Blossom Pet Hoardhunter Ursauk Crowborne Hunter outfit style Vampiric Lamp, Azure Tall Vampiric Lightpost, Azure Single Hollowjack Lantern, Ouroboros Ruby Candlefly Gathering Webs, Cone Specimen Jar, Spare Brain Vampiric Container, Yellow Liquid Ghost Netch Pet (10 Possessed Shred) Tome of Forbidden Appetites (Runebox: Face-Eating Tome Memento) All three pet fragments will be available during the event. And the first fragment for the Mount will be available, too. All you need to do is prepare enough ESO Gold. Also, the Impresario has bound pages for the Crowborne Hunter outfit style for 5 tickets each. Plus, some spooky furnishings and Witches grab bags, that can contain: Passion Dancer Blossom Pet Festival masks Apple-Bobbing Cauldron Fragments Skeletal Marionette Memento Parts Throwing Bones Memento Fragments Marshmallow Toasty Treat Emote Hoardhunter Ursauk Witch’s Bonfire Dust Memento Ghastly Visitation Memento Bonedust Pigment for the Witch-Tamed Bear Dog Bound style pages for the Witchmother's Servant outfit Indrik Vendor's Offerings: The Indrik Vendor, located near Belkarth in Craglorn, brings players the opportunity to acquire feathers for the Nascent Indrik Mount, berries for transforming it into the Crimson Indrik Mount, and additional berries for the Pure-Snow Indrik. The vendor's offerings extend to Crimson Indrik Mounts and two Indrik pets, enriching the event experience. Impresario's Assistant and the Dagonic Quasigriff Mount: Found in Impresario's Tents, the Impresario's Assistant contributes to the event's excitement by selling three fragments for the Dagonic Quasigriff Mount, promising players a unique and alluring reward.
