Events

Overview

Events are time-limited activities that give new rewards. Events include holidays like the Witches Festival, celebrations like the Undaunted Celebration, and the Anniversary Jubilee.

Event Merchant

The Impresario is a special merchant who sells items in exchange for Event Tickets and only appears during scheduled events.While an event is happening, The Impresario can be found in Daggerfall in Glenumbra, Davon's Watch in Stonefalls, Vulkhel Guard in Auridon, Vivec in Vvardenfell, Alinor in Summerset, Rimmen in Elsweyr, Solitude in Western Skyrim, Leyawiin in Blackwood, Gonfalon Bay in High Isle, and Belkarth in Craglorn.

Event Tickets

A special currency called Event Tickets is dispensed only during specific activities during an event. These tickets are shared across all characters on an account, but a single account can hold a maximum of twelve only, so remember to redeem them often by visiting the Impresario.

Nascent Indrik Creation

The Nascent Indrik is a mount that can be earned in game. The Indrik Vendor, Nenulaure, sells 4 different indrik feathers for Event Tickets.

Collecting these feathers unlocks collectible fragments viewable within the Collections menu. Once you have all 4 indrik feathers, you can combine them in that menu to perform the summoning ritual. This will consume all four feathers and unlock the mount collectible, the Nascent Indrik.

Nascent Indrik Evolution

The Nascent Indrik can be evolved into a different form. Evolving the Nascent Indrik requires an unlocked Nascent Indrik mount collectible and 4 specific Enchanted Berries purchased from the Indrik Vendor, Nenulaure. The Enchanted Berries are collectible fragments that can be viewed in the Fragments section of the Collections menu.Enchanted berries are available on a seasonal rotation in accordance with their original appearances, so make sure you get them while you can.

Evolving an indrik requires you to have a Nascent Indrik and all 4 Enchanted Berries of the same type. After all 4 berries have been acquired, combine them in the Collections menu to evolve the Nascent Indrik into the associated evolution. So, if you have a Nascent Indrik and the 4 different Dawnwood Enchanted Berries, the Nascent Indrik becomes a Dawnwood Indrik.

Once a Nascent Indrik evolves into a different form, the Nascent Indrik mount collectible is locked and a new Indrik mount collectible is unlocked. If you want another Nascent Indrik to use or to evolve into a different Indrik form you have not unlocked, you will need to acquire another Nascent Indrik to unlock the mount collectible again.

Morphing Collectibles

You can morph certain collectibles into other collectibles by following a morphing chain.

To begin a morphing chain, gather fragments for the first collectible and combine them in the Collections interface. You can see your collected fragments in the Fragments section of the Collections menu. This process consumes the fragments and grants you the collectible.

To gain the second (or third, etc.) collectible in a morphing chain, gather its specified fragments. Then, while in possession of the previous collectible in this chain, combine them in the Collections menu. This process consumes the fragments and the previous collectible.

You can regain a consumed collectible by following the process above.
