The Elder Scrolls Online brings back its economy-focused celebration, Zeal of Zenithar, running from Wednesday, June 24 at 10 AM ET until Wednesday, July 8 at 10 AM ET.
Ready to line your pockets with gold and rare loot? Here is your tactical briefing on how to make the most of the event.
Getting Started: The Offer You Can't Refuse
To kick off your journey under Zenithar's gaze, pick up the introductory quest, "The Unrefusable Offer," by visiting Amminus Varo at the Belkarth festival grounds in Craglorn. You can also grab the starter quest for free directly from the Crown Store.
- Pro Tip: Can't find Belkarth? Head to the nearest Impresario tent and hop through the nearby portal.
- Once you clear the introduction for the first time, you will unlock the daily quest, "Honest Toil." (If you already completed the intro in previous years, this daily is unlocked immediately).
Hard work translates directly into heavy loot boxes during this event. Rewards are split into Legendary and Epic parcels.

The Daily Bonus (Honest Toil)
- First Completion of the Day: Rewards you with 1x Legendary Zenithar’s Parcel.
- Subsequent Completions: Rewards you with an Epic Zenithar’s Parcel for every turn-in on that same day.
Bonus Epic Parcels
You can secure additional Epic Parcels by diving into these daily activities:
- Completing "The Unrefusable Offer" intro quest.
- Completing your first daily Crafting Writ (per account, per day).
- Completing a Master Writ (limited to one per discipline, per account, each day).
- Defeating a World Boss or completing an Incursion while grouped with at least one player from your guilds.
- Clearing rounds in a group-based Arena challenge or defeating bosses in the Infinite Archive alongside a guildmate. (Note: The final round chest and Tho’at Replicanum’s chest grant guaranteed parcels!)
Alternative Intel: Honest Labor for Suckers? If manual labor isn't your style, you can turn to a life of crime. Stealable parcels can be found across Tamriel by pickpocketing citizens, looting strongboxes, or cracking Thieves Troves. Just don't get caught.
This year debuts the rugged Battlefield Provisioner armor outfit style. It also introduces the final fragment (Withered Antlers) needed to complete the elusive Thorn’s Bite Withersteed mount.
