The Witches Festival 2025: Event Guide
The Witches Festival 2025 is here! This quick, easy-to-follow guide gives you the critical facts and steps to maximize your rewards, including a passive 2x XP boost and brand-new collectibles.
Witches Festival 2025 Event Details
Activate the Event and 2x XP Boost
Use the Whistle: Once the quest is complete, you will receive the Witchmother’s Whistle Memento. Using it now grants only the skeletal transformation, as the 2x XP bonus is now passive for the duration of the event.
Enhance Your Boost (Optional): The Witchmother’s Potent Brew consumable provides significant bonuses to Max Magicka, Max Health, and Magicka Recovery for two hours.
Earning Your Rewards (Plunder Skulls & Tickets)
Plunder Skulls: These are your main source of event rewards and currency. They drop from Monsters throughout Tamriel.
Boss types include World Bosses, Delve Bosses, Dungeon Bosses, Public Dungeon Bosses, Arenas, and more.
The valuable, sellable festival-themed treasure found inside Plunder Skulls is the exclusive way to gain increased gold. There is no passive gold percentage increase.
Event Tickets: You can earn a total of two (2) Event Tickets daily. You can earn up to 20 Event Tickets over the 14 days.
You receive them for defeating the first unique daily boss (e.g., the first World Boss you defeat that day).
You can also earn Event Tickets from two daily repeatable quests: one involving the Crowborne Horror and one involving Lord Hollowjack.
Spending Your Event Tickets on New Collectibles
The following premier collectibles are new for the Witches Festival 2025 event:
Your 20-Ticket Choice
House Focus (20 Tickets): Buy the two new house fragments (Archway and Tomes). This secures your long-term goal that rewards you with the Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos
Cosmetic Focus (15 Tickets): Buy the three new cosmetic items (Wickerchain Style and both Hagmatron Markings). This leaves 5 tickets in reserve.
Loot Farming: The Daily 7-Boss Route
You get high-value Dremora Plunder Skulls from defeating specific boss types. You can only get one Dremora Skull per boss type daily, for a maximum of 7 per day.

Witches Festival Checklist
The Witches Festival 2025 is an incredibly valuable event for all players, offering a perfect blend of high-reward farming and long-term collecting. To maximize your time over these 14 spooky days, remember this checklist:
Log In: Instantly activate your 100% passive XP boost—no potions needed! Stack it with XP scrolls for maximum leveling speed.
Loot Max: Complete your 7-Boss daily route for Dremora Skulls. Prioritize content with high gold-per-hour (like Trial and Arena bosses) for the highest chance at the tradeable Wickerchain Style Pages.
Spend Smart: Always check your ticket count! Spend your tickets at The Impresario before you hit the 12-ticket cap to ensure you secure the Wildgrown Chapel fragments and don’t miss any daily earnings.
