During the New Life Festival, you will automatically enjoy a 100% boost to XP gain whenever you log into the game, with no extra steps required! If you’d like to join the party and toast the passing of another year, complete the New Life Festival’s introductory quest and collect Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug memento via the following steps:
- Open the Crown Store and acquire the free quest, “The New Life Festival.”
- You can also pick up this quest by speaking with Breda at the New Life Festival tent in Eastmarch.
- You can instantly transport yourself to Breda by using the portal located at any Impresario tent location.
