Get a free pet and rebuild your characters from the ground up during the Heroes Reforged in-game mini event.
Build A New You
To celebrate the arrival of Update 29’s Champion System overhaul, we’re happy to announce the Heroes Reforged mini event. Beginning with the launch of Update 29 for each platform (PC/Mac: Monday, March 8 at 10AM EST/3PM GMT; Xbox One and PlayStation®4: Tuesday, March 16 at 10AM/3PM), this event will run for two weeks and allow you unlimited free respecs from Rededication Shrines for the following:
Attributes (Health/Stamina/Magicka)
Skills (and Morphs)
Champion Points (from the Champion Point system menu)
Note that the above start times may shift depending on when Update 29 goes live and servers open, and when you first log in, all Skills and Champion Points will be automatically reset.
While the changes coming with Update 29 impact only the Champion System, we know that you’ll likely want to test many builds, so for two weeks you can reset, respec, and rebuild any and all of your characters as many times as you want for free when using a Rededication Shrine or the Champion Point redistribution function—easy!
Finally, this is not a full in-game event (such as the Midyear Mayhem or the recent Tribunal Celebration), and as a result it will not have Event Tickets or unique rewards—just free re-specializations. That’s two weeks to experiment and test your builds at no cost.
Grab a Free Pet
Because Update 29 requires a mandatory skill respec (including both Champion Points and Skill Points), we’re also offering the Ambersheen Vale Fawn pet from the in-game Crown Store, completely free!
The adorable Ambersheen Vale Fawn
You can find this free pet under the Pets category within the Crown Store, and it is available only during the event period for your platform—don’t miss out!
The Heroes Reforged Event begins for PC/Mac on Monday, March 8 at 10AM EST/3PM GMT, and it runs until Monday, March 22 at 10AM EDT/3PM BST. For Xbox One and PlayStation®4, the event starts Tuesday, March 16 at 10AM EDT/3PM BST, and it runs until Tuesday, March 30 at 10AM EDT/3PM BST.

Return to the island of Vvardenfell or to Seht’s world in miniature, and you’ll earn bonus rewards and Event Tickets.
Two Wonderful Worlds
The Tribunal Celebration in-game event begins this Thursday, February 25 at 10AM EST/3PM GMT, and runs until Tuesday, March 9 at 10AM EST/3PM GMT. During the event period, you can receive the following bonus rewards when adventuring within the Vvardenfell and Clockwork City zones:
Double reward boxes for zone daily quests and Trial weekly quests
Increased rewards from harvest nodes
Not including fishing holes or heavy sacks
World, Delve, and Trial bosses will drop additional loot when defeated
Public dungeon and world bosses have a chance to drop a tradeable NEW style page for the new Doctrine Ordinator outfit style
The final boss in both the Asylum Sanctorum and Halls of Fabrication have a guaranteed chance to drop a tradeable style page for the new Doctrine Ordinator outfit style
Earn these new rewards in Vvardenfell & the Clockwork City
Tribunal Coffers
That’s a lot of great reasons to return to (or visit for the first time) the regions of Vvardenfell and the Clockwork City. However, in addition to these bonus rewards, when you complete a daily quest in either one of the two zones, you’ll receive a Tribunal Coffer.
Within this consecrated container, you’ll have a chance to receive some of these thrice-blessed items:
Crafting materials
Overland set items from the two zones
Style pages (and in rare cases, entire Motif Chapters) for the Ashlander, Morag Tong, Telvanni, Redoran, Hlaalu, Ebonshadow, and Clockwork Apostle styles
Transmutation Crystals
Vvardenfell or Clockwork City treasure maps
NEW The Slag Town Diver Skin Runebox (tradeable)
NEW Thetys Ramarys’s Bait Kit memento Runebox (tradeable)
NEW Fragments for the Microtized Verminous Fabricant pet (tradeable)
Even better, the first time you complete a daily quest each day, you’ll receive a Glorious Tribunal Coffer instead. Glorious Tribunal Coffers contain the same items as their regular counterparts but have a higher chance of receiving some of the rarer items, such as the skin, memento, or pet fragments.
Finally, during the event, regular Tribunal Coffers also have a chance to drop randomly from various zone activities, including defeating bosses, looting objects, and even slaying random monsters.
Get Morrowind & Clockwork City
If you’ve yet to explore the island of Vvardenfell or delve into the metaphysical realm of the Clockwork City, you can pick up both DLCs and their respective Collector’s Bundles on sale in the in-game Crown Store at up to 50% off from February 25 until March 9 (the event period).
In addition to these deals, during the same period, the Crown Store will also feature both the new Doctrine Ordinator Weapons Pack and the Mother Morrowind’s Sacred Lullaby music box AND bring back Dwarven Crown Crates!
The Doctrine Ordinator Weapons Pack & Mother Morrowind’s Sacred Lullaby music box
Don’t forget, all ESO Plus members will automatically have access to both DLCs as part of their membership benefits.
Impresario & Event Tickets
Throughout the event, you can earn two Event Tickets per day via the following activities:
One Event Ticket from the first Vvardenfell daily quest of any kind that you turn in
One Event Ticket from the first Clockwork City daily quest of any kind that you turn in
The Event Ticket timer resets at 1:00AM EST/6:00AM GMT each morning. Note that if you earn new Event Tickets over the 12-limit cap, you’ll lose them.
The Impresario will stock the following items during the Tribunal Celebration:
Unstable Morpholith base fragments
Including the Deadlands Flint, Rune-Etched Striker, and Smoldering Bloodgrass Tinder
For more on morphing collectibles, check out this guide
The first two Deadlands Scorcher Skin fragments
Including the Rune-Scribed Daedra Hide and Rune-Scribed Daedra Sleeve
Doctrine Ordinator Outfit Style pages

Group Repair Kits
Note that none of the above items are tradeable if acquired with Event Tickets from the Impresario.
Collect the second Upgrade Fragment for the Deadlands Scorcher Skin
Praise the Three!
