The Elder Scrolls Online just announced a new event coming to the game on June 30 at 10AM EDT, and it continues until July 12 at 10AM EDT called Zeal of Zenithar. This event will be focused on crafting writs with awesome rewards and prizes. Below are the details:
The Zeal of Zenithar in-game event kicks off on June 30 at 10AM EDT, and it continues until July 12 at 10AM EDT. To access the event, pick up the introductory quest “The Unrefusable Offer” from Amminus Varo at the Belkarth festival grounds in the Craglorn region (or get the free quest starter from the Crown Store). If you need help locating Belkarth, travel to the nearest Impresario tent, and use the portal nearby to transport yourself to the city.
Event Details
During the event, each time you complete the daily quest, you’ll receive one of Zenithar’s Sublime Parcel boxes. In addition, you can net Zenithar’s Delightful Parcel boxes by participating in the following activities:
- Completing the introductory quest
- Completing any Master Writ
- First daily Crafting Writ, per account, completed each day
- Defeat a world boss while grouped with a player who is in at least one of your player guilds
- Complete a world event while grouped with a player who is in at least one of your player guilds
- Conquering each round of a group-based arena challenge while grouped with a player who is in at least one of your player guilds has the chance of dropping a box
- The final round’s reward chest contains a guaranteed parcel
Alternatively, if you’re not interested in hard work, Akatosh forbid, there’s a small chance to steal parcels from hard-working Tamrielic citizens through pickpocketing, strongboxes, or thieves’ troves.
Within a parcel box, there is a chance to acquire the following rewards for your efforts:
- A tradeable outfit style page for the new High Rock Spellsword armor
- Crafting materials, provisioning ingredients, alchemy reagents, runestones, or a motif style item
- Crafting boosters
- Small chance of a gold-tier booster or a research time scroll
- Furnishing or provisioning recipes
- Repair kits, siege repair kits, or a small chance for an Impresario group repair kit
- Treasure Maps, survey reports, Imperial City Vault Keys, companion gear, or a Random Currency Pouch
- The Random Currency Pouch can contain either gold or Tel Var stones; there is an extremely small chance that this is a jackpot amount that gives you 100,000 of the associated currency!
- The earnings from this pouch, jackpot or otherwise, are unaffected by any form of currency boosts
- The Random Currency Pouch can contain either gold or Tel Var stones; there is an extremely small chance that this is a jackpot amount that gives you 100,000 of the associated currency!
Both boxes offer an opportunity to pick up these rewards, but the Sublime Parcel boxes provide the best chance to obtain the most valuable rewards.

EVENT TICKETS & THE IMPRESARIO
In addition to the parcel boxes, you’ll also receive three Event Tickets each time you complete the Honest Toil daily quest. In total, you can collect 39 tickets by the end of the event. Just remember: You can hold up to 12 Event Tickets at any one time, so if you earn more while already at the ticket cap, you’ll lose them!
Once you’ve earned a hefty number of Event Tickets, head on over to the Impresario event merchant and exchange them for these rewards:
- All three Soulfire Dragon Illusion pet fragments
- Hallowed Hourglass Basin
- Illuminated Dragon Scroll
- Kvatchian Incense
- All three fragments for the Aurelic Quasigriff mount
- Aurelite Gryphon Feather
- Gilded Gryphon Barding
- Sacred Seeds of Akatosh
- Bound style pages for the High Rock Spellsword armor style

This is your chance to complete the morph for the shining Aurelic Quasigriff mount!

In addition, the Impresario is selling a brand-new item to help improve your companion’s skill lines: Companion Guild Commendations. Each of the three major guilds in ESO, including the Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Undaunted, have a commendation associated with their organization. Upon using a commendation on an active companion, they immediately reach the next skill rank for that specific guild.
The Companion Guild Commendations will be available to purchase whenever the Impresario makes an appearance during any future events.
Finally, the Impresario will be joined in the Belkarth festival grounds by a new colleague during the Zeal of Zenithar and all upcoming events: Nenulaure! This special merchant will offer a selection of indriks from previous years and events, with a cycling inventory as seasons change.
Nenulaure the Indrik Vendor
During the Zeal of Zenithar, Nenulaure will offer:
- Luminous Indrik Berries
- Icebreath Indrik Berries
- Shimmering Indrik pet
- Rimedusk Indrik pet
The Zeal of Zenithar in-game event begins June 30 at 10:00AM EDT, and it runs until Tuesday, July 12 at 10:00AM EDT.
