How To Start The New Life Festival Introductory Quest In ESO
You can start the New Life Festival introductory quest in ESO by purchasing it from the Crown Store. The quest is free to pick, and you will find it in the 'Limited Time Offers' section.
Once you have the quest, head to Eastmarch and look for Breda in the New Life Festival tent. It's not far from the Kynesgrove Wayshrine. Talk to Breda to complete the quest and get the Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug memento. If you unlocked this memento during last year's winter event, you won't receive it again.
Completing the introductory quest will give you access to 10 daily quests, which you can pick from Breda and Petronuis Galenus (who you can also find in the same tent.)
Completing these quests will get you event tickets and New Life Festival Boxes.
