Explore some of ESO’s post-launch adventures and you can earn bonus rewards, unique collectibles, and Event Tickets.
Sand, Snow, & Blood
Kicking off this Thursday, August 26 at 10AM EDT, and running until Tuesday, September 7 at 10AM EDT, you can earn bonus rewards, event-specific collectibles, and Event Tickets while adventuring within the Wrothgar, Craglorn, and Imperial City zones.
To get started, pick up the introductory quest titled “Sand, Snow, and Blood” from the Crown Store or Impresario tent and then travel directly to one of the three zones.
As part of the ESO base game, Craglorn can be accessed by all ESO players, and the Imperial City DLC can be purchased for zero crowns from the in-game Crown Store. You can get access to the Orsinium DLC with ESO Plus™ membership or buy it directly from the Crown Store on sale for 1,500 crowns (50% off the DLC’s regular price). In addition to this, you can pick up the Orsinium Collector’s Bundle from the in-game Crown Store for 2,000 crowns (also 50% off its regular price), containing the Cave Bear mount, the Cave Bear Cub pet, and five Crown Experience Scrolls.
Finally, you can also pick up the 4-DLC Mega Pack (containing the Orsinium, Imperial City, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood DLCs) for 2,000 crowns (50% off) or the Imperial City Collector’s Bundle for 2,000 crowns (also 50% off) containing the Mind-Shriven Horse mount, Mind-Shriven skin, Daedrat pet, and five Crown Experience scrolls.
These discounts are available only during the Year One Celebration, and there’s a host of event-specific items also arriving in the in-game Crown Store during the event period, too—don’t miss out!

This event is your second opportunity to acquire fragments required to upgrade your Unstable Morpholith into the new Dagonic Quasigriff mount!
Don’t forget, you’ll need to own an Unstable Morpholith and all three upgrade fragments to unlock this mount, so keep an eye out for future event announcements to snatch up the third and final fragment.
