How to get an Indrik Mount

  1. Collect Event Tickets by taking part in the event’s daily activities
  2. One Event Ticket can be earned from one activity per day.
  3. Collecting 10 Event Tickets will allow you to buy one Indrik Feather for that specific event from the merchant The Impresario.
  4. The Impresario can be found at their special booth in Daggerfall in Glenumbra, Davon’s Watch in Stonefalls and Vulkhel Guard in Auridon.
  5. Once you have collected all four feathers from each the end of year events, you can summon your very own Nascent Indrik mount!
  6. You can purchase multiple feathers and obtain multiple Indriks so you might evolve them. You can only have one Nascent Indrik mount at a time; you must evolve it before you can unlock a second one.

 

How to Evolve an Indrik Mount

  1. Participate in events and collect Event Tickets
  2. Some events give 2 event tickets, such as midyear mayhem
  3. Use 10 Event Tickets to buy a special Berry from the Impresario
  4. Each quarter, there are four different berries in a set that can be purchased; the first set are the Dawnwood Berries -- Bloom, Budding, Growth, and Ripeness. The Berries of Bloom will be available in the first event of the quarter, then the Berries of Budding will be added for the second event, etc. The set of Berries available during the second-quarter events will be Luminous Berries, but the same four types.
  5. Use a set of four Berries -- one of each -- to transform your mount. Once you have evolved your Nascent Indrik, you can use a set of four feathers, as described above, to obtain another Nascent Indrik, which you can evolve using a different set of berries. You can only have one of each type of evolved Indrik.

 

How to participate in ESO's Holiday Events?

During the event period, the Crown Store offers special items that must be used to trigger a special quest. Completing the quest will grant a unique buff allowing players to obtain special items through activities in Tamriel.

Some of the events are PvP-centric, and require access to DLC content such as the Imperial City or Morrowind's Battlegrounds.

 

Holiday Event Achievements & Rewards

The individual pages list all known achievements and rewards for participating in the events. During these events, player experience (or Alliance Points) gain is boosted by 100%.

      Another BS event, MidYear 2020, with better explanations this time but, of course, that is meaningless if they aren't true. I spent many, many hours doing quests in Imperial City with 0 (ZERO) success getting my two daily event tickets. WHAT QUEST QUALIFIES? Daily quests don't unless some of them work and other don't. The Drake Quest worked once but not the 2nd day.
      Booooooooooooooo ZOS and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Bethesda for selling out your name and reputation to a company that cares nothing at all for their customers.

        I Know how you feel , i've been waiting for my monthly crowns now since last month . I have contacted support numerous times only to get no responce back it's so fustrating . The only good thing about ESO Plus at the moment is the unlimited materials bag you get nothing else springs to mind. Where are you Zenimax when your loyal fan base needs you ................. ?

          Why is Customer Service so dismal for Events? Id est: Really poor explanations if any; Notifications if any. So, the spring Event is upon us. It is the last half of March and this Event could occur any day; yet there is no explanations yet. A couple Events ago, in the Crown Store there was an Event package and when you clicked on "more details," you got the response: "more details." lol Has Zenimax lost interest in their ESO Plus membership? As when a person first joins ESO Plus, that is when he should experience quality Customer Service. This is the most opportune time for a new player to use ESO Plus. Yet, he/I was totally lost when I joined ESO Plus as a new player of this game. I've now been playing almost 10 months and every day I get more and more frustrated with the lack of interest from Zenimax. In order to access the forums, there is a monthly fee or yearly or lifetime. There is NO response to bugs submitted to Zenimax. For the Character Creation screen, which is NOT WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get), you have to pay crowns for every adjustment of your new character's looks, which is a Zenimax BUG. Can you imagine paying real money to correct a bug caused by the Owner of the game? First Impressions: In real life, the rule of thumb is that if you err on your first impression meeting someone, it takes 1.5 years of mostly perfect conduct to correct this mistake. Pay heed Zenimax as you are killing what you paid for: To Wit, Bethesda's fan base and popularity; especially at a time related to the current Pandemic (Coronavirus) where many are at home looking for games to play and many who would be playing ESO and paying for ESO Plus, just aren't going to do it. Regards,

                  I was wondering the same thing. I am also curious when they started, in the hopes there will be more holidays new this year that have not occurred in the past.
