Elder Scrolls Online’s Jester’s Festival returns March 25 with XP boost and new rewards

The Elder Scrolls Online is bringing back its annual Jester’s Festival on March 25. The event starts at 10 a.m. EDT and runs through April 2 at 10 a.m. EDT, giving players another shot at bonus XP, daily event quests, and a fresh batch of themed rewards.

According to the official post, players can head to the festival pavilions, pick up the usual questline from the local jester, and use the Pie of Misrule to activate the event’s XP bonus. Daily quests will award festival boxes with items like furnishings, recipes, style pages, cosmetics, mementos, and other event loot.

This year’s new rewards include the One Bad Knight outfit pages and a fragment for the Thorn’s Bite Withersteed morphing collectible.

The event is also the first Jester’s Festival to use ESO’s newer Trade Bars system and the Gold Coast Bazaar. Players can earn 300 Trade Bars for the first Jester’s Festival quest they complete each day per account, for a total of up to 2,400 over the full event if they don’t miss a day.

Those Trade Bars can be spent on older event rewards too, including Indrik components and pet fragments, so it’s not just about this year’s cosmetics.
