Event Quests

The heart of the event lies in its festival-themed quests, designed to immerse players in the holiday spirit. These quests will commence in the festival grounds near Belkarth in Craglorn, offering a vibrant setting to kick off the celebration.
Players can expect a series of four unique quests, with each completion rewarding a purple box filled with exciting items. For those seeking additional rewards, participating in other event activities will grant golden boxes and event tickets. Below is a video with a detailed walkthrough of these quests:
Earning Rewards: Golden Boxes and Event Tickets
Heart's Week introduces several ways to earn golden boxes and event tickets, but there's a catch—you'll need to complete these activities with a friend or companion by your side. Here's a breakdown of the eligible activities:
1. Defeating Delve or World Bosses
2. Defeating Infinite Archive Bosses
3. Defeating an Incursion (e.g., Dolmen)
4. Looting a Treasure Chest
5. Pickpocketing an NPC
6. Harvesting a Resource Node
The first activity completed each day will grant you a golden box and two tickets, while subsequent completions will reward you with purple boxes. This system encourages teamwork and daily participation, so gather your allies and start planning your strategy!
What's Inside the Boxes?
Heart's Day Duelist Outfit style
The event rewards are tailored to enhance your experience with companions. Here's what you can expect inside the boxes:
- Heart's Day Duelist Outfit style pages. These are unbound, meaning you can also buy them from other players with your Elder Scrolls Online gold.
- Companion Gifts: Personalized items designed for specific companions. To use a gift, ensure the intended companion is summoned, as these gifts will increase their rapport with you.
- Gold-quality Companion Jewelry: A rare and valuable addition to boost your companion's effectiveness.
- Heart's Week-themed Provisioning recipes
- Furnishing Recipes
- Materials: Durable crafting materials, Provisioning ingredients, Alchemy reagents, Runestones, Style Items
- Equipment Repair Kits/Group Repair Kits
- Treasure Maps and Survey Reports
- Companion gear
- Guild Citation consumables for the Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, or Undaunted
This focus on companion-related rewards makes Heart's Week particularly special for those who enjoy adventuring alongside their trusted allies.
Companion Bonuses During Heart's Week
To make the event even more rewarding, players will enjoy special bonuses related to their companions throughout Heart's Week:
- Companion XP Gain: +100%
- Companion Rapport Gain (+50%) and Loss (-50%)
These bonuses not only make it easier to level up your companions but also provide an opportunity to strengthen your bond with them during this festive period.
Event Achievements
For completionists, Heart's Week introduces a set of new achievements tied to the event. Successfully completing these achievements will earn you additional purple boxes, which will be delivered directly to your in-game mail. Keep an eye out for these challenges, as they'll add another layer of excitement to the festivities.
Visit the Event Merchants

No event is complete without a visit to the Impresario, who will be offering exclusive items during Heart's Week. Here's what you can expect from her inventory:
- All pages of the new event style: Heart's Day Duelist (bound version)
- New pet fragments for the Roseblood Bat
- Roseblood Wings Recall Customized Action fragments
Each fragment will cost 10 tickets, but there's good news: the developers are phasing out the morph system. This means pets will now be collected as standalone items, simplifying the process and making it easier for players to enjoy these adorable companions.
Don't forget to visit Nenulaure's and Philius Dormier's shops during the event, as they will provide goodies you might find interesting, including the highly sought-after Indrik mounts and pets.

The beautifully decorated cities, engaging quests, and meaningful rewards make it an event worth anticipating. Whether you're looking to level up your companions, collect rare items, or simply enjoy the festive atmosphere, Heart's Week has something for everyone.
