During the New Life Festival, all players automatically receive a 100% boost to XP gain when they enter the game, no extra steps or clicks. Complete the New Life Festival’s introductory quest and collect Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug memento via the following steps:
- Accept the free quest ‘The New Life Festival’ either through the Crown Store or by speaking with Breda at the tent in Eastmarch.
- Complete the quest and receive your memento! Note that you won’t need to if you have already finished the quest during a previous year.
- Enjoy your endless supply of holiday mead and don’t forget to pick up the new Fish Boon Pioneer outfit style from the event boxes!
“After wrapping up the event’s introductory quest, you’ll unlock access to the special New Life Festival daily quests, including eight brand-new ones! The existing quests from previous years are still available from Breda and Petronius Galenus at the New Life Festival tent outside Windhelm in Eastmarch.”
