The Elder Scrolls Online's Witches Festival is returning in 2024. This time, the event offers a brand new quest for players to complete. In this guide, your old friend, Zurga, will show you how to do the new daily event quest, how to get tickets and reward boxes, and what goodies you can purchase from the event merchants.
2024 Witches Festival Starting Date
The event's starting date is unknown yet, but as soon as the date is announced, MmoGah will update this article.
Introductory Quest
The Witches Festival's introductory quest – The Witchmother's Bargain, can be obtained for free in the Crown Store. After taking it, get a pumpkin, some guts, and an essence of death (a drop from any Delve boss).
After collecting all the ingredients, go to one of the Witches Covens and complete the quest there. You can find a Witches Coven in Glenumbra, Auridon, and Stonefalls.

New Daily Quest
Find the Priest Maxien Roundille and take the quest from him. He will ask you to rescue three guys, and the first one is in Grahtwood.
Thalien
Talk to Thalien in Grahtwood, enter the Portal to Detritus, run through the labyrinth, and examine the Flamequench Bloom.
Farvyn Rolas
Go to Deshaan, travel to Detritus via the portal, and examine the Letter from Farvyn's Mother.
Gatzug
After freeing Farvyn Rolas, go to Stormhaven. Talk to Gatzug, travel to Detritus via the portal, and use the Bloody Battleaxe.
Lord Hollowjack
Lord Hollowjack Trophy
After rescuing all of the three guys, return to Priest Maxien Roudille. After talking to him, there will be a final battle with Lord Hollowjack. According to the developers, you can defeat this enemy in a group of 6 to 12 players. As a reward for killing Lord Hollowjack, you get a Trophy: Lord Hollowjack.
Reward Boxes and Event Tickets
You will get ten gold-quality Dremora Plunder Skulls per day for the first boss you kill in the Arena, Crowborne Horror, Delve, Dungeon, Incursion, Infinite Archive, Lord Hollowjack quest, Public Dungeon and Sweeper, Trial, and World Boss. All subsequent repeating kills will give you Plunder Skulls (purple-quality containers). At the same time, you will get two event tickets for the first gold box you receive each day.
To make sure you're all set for taking down those bosses quickly, it's a good idea to gear up your ESO character with some solid armor, weapons, and helpful consumables.
Plucking the Crow Quest
The Plucking the Crow quest gives you the Crowborne Horror box, and the quest giver is Taerma in the coven. It is best to take this quest before opening the Plunder Skulls we mentioned above, as you will need to collect 30 cursed feathers that drop from the Plunder Skulls. Without the quest, the feathers will not drop. After collecting the feathers, you can pluck the crow. By the way, you can also kill the boss in a group.
