What Is the Zeal of Zenithar in ESO?

The Zeal of Zenithar celebrates hard work and fair trade in ESO. The event is centered at the Belkarth Festival Grounds in Craglorn, where you complete a single daily quest (Honest Toil) and earn additional reward parcels through crafting, group activities and thievery across Tamriel.

Remember to complete the daily quest "Honest Toil" each day for 300 Trade Bars and a gold-quality Zenithar's Sublime Parcel.

Tips and Tricks

Here are a couple of ideas what to do during the Zenithar Event:

  • Buy houses. The 10% vendor discount applies to all houses that can be purchased with gold.
  • Level your crafting lines. The 100% crafting inspiration boost stacks with Champion Point passives.
  • For the daily quest, spend 10,000 gold on something you actually need like Furnishing Plans or Upgrade Materials (Trade Center). 
  • Spend Trade Bars at the ImpresarioEvent Merchant's Assistant before the event ends if you want event-exclusive items
  • Group up with guildies to farm dragons in Southern Elsweyr for the best parcel-per-hour rate (100% Drop Rate, no daily limit). If you've completed 20 Dragonguard Quests (Reforging the Dragonguard iconReforging the Dragonguard), Dragons also drop an expensive potion ingredient: Dragon Rheum
  • Join a guild before the event starts. You can be in up to five player guilds.

Global Bonuses and Effects

All ESO players receive the following bonuses during the Zeal of Zenithar. These apply automatically.

  • Wayshrine travel costs are reduced by 75%.
  • Repair costs on vendors are reduced by 50%.
  • Crafting inspiration gained from all sources is increased by 100%.
  • Vendor prices across Tamriel are reduced by 10%.

How to Start the Zeal of Zenithar Event in ESO

A portal is located at every Impresario tent to take you directly to the Belkarth Festival Grounds if you have not been to Craglorn before.

Step-by-Step Start Guide:

  1. Open the Crown Store and claim the free quest starter for "The Unrefusable Offer" from the Events tab.
  2. Travel to the Belkarth Festival Grounds in Craglorn (use the portal at any Impresario tent if you  don't have the wayshrine unlocked).
  3. Speak to Amminus Varo to begin the introductory quest.
  4. Craft Baked Apples iconBaked Apples. You can buy the recipe from the nearby Chef vendor, and there is a basket of apples on the ground next to Amminus.
  5. Deliver the Baked Apples iconBaked Apples to Amminus, then retrieve some Maple from the trees across the nearby stream.
  6. Retrieve Zenithar's Blessed Awl from the Greycloak bandits. You will need to defeat a werewolf boss, then loot the Awl from a nearby basket.
  7. Return to Amminus Varo to complete the quest and receive a Zenithar's Delightful Parcel.

  Completing the intro quest unlocks the daily quest "Honest Toil" for the remainder of the event.  

ESO Zeal of Zenithar Daily Quest: Honest Toil

After completing the introductory quest, speak to Fasaria near the Shrine of Zenithar at the Belkarth Festival Grounds. She offers the daily quest "Honest Toil."

Pray at the Shrine of Zenithar and you will be given a choice of three tasks. You only need to complete one:

  1. Gain a level or earn a Champion Point
  2. Unearth an Antiquity or Treasure Chest
  3. Spend 10,000 gold at Guild Traders.

Return to Fasaria after completing your chosen task to receive:

  • 300 Trade Bars (first completion per account per day)
  • 1 Zenithar's Sublime Parcel (gold quality, best rewards)

How to Earn Zenithar Reward Parcels

Beyond the daily quest, you earn Purple Zenithar's Delightful Parcels from these activities during the event.

Solo Activities (no guild membership required):

  • Daily Crafting Writs: One parcel per account per day from your first completed crafting writ.
  • Master Writs: One parcel per discipline per account per day. Subsequent Master Writs in the same discipline will not award additional parcels until daily reset time.
  • Legerdemain Activities: Pickpocketing, opening safeboxes and looting Thieves Troves all have a chance to drop parcels. No daily limit. Be aware that if guards catch you, any stolen parcels in your inventory will be confiscated.

Guild-Grouped Activities (must be grouped with a member of one of your guilds):

  • Group Arena Clears: Complete rounds of Dragonstar Arena or Blackrose Prison while grouped with a guildmate. 50% drop chance on regular rounds, 100% on the final round. No daily limit.
  • Infinite Archive: Complete cycles and arc bosses while grouped with a guildmate. 100% drop chance on Tho'at Replicanum and 50% chance at cycle bosses. No daily limit.
  • World Bosses and Incursions: Defeat a world boss or complete an incursion event (Dolmens, Abyssal Geysers, Dragons, Harrowstorms, Volcanic Vents, Oblivion Portals, Volcanic Vents, Mirrormoor Mosaics and Siege Camps) while grouped with a guildmate. 100% drop chance, no daily limit.

Grab a guildmate or join a group through guild chat before heading out. If you do not share at least one player guild with your groupmates, the parcels will not drop at all.

How to Earn Trade Bars

You earn 300 Trade Bars per account per day by completing the daily quest "Honest Toil" for the first time that day.

  • First daily quest of the day: 300 Trade Bars + 1x Zenithar's Sublime Parcel
  • Max Trade Bars for this event: 4,500 (300 x 15 days)

The introductory quest does not award Trade Bars. Only the daily quest "Honest Toil" does.
