How to Participate in Zeal of Zenithar Event
To participate in the Event, accept the Event Quest: An Offering He Can’t Refuse(The Unrefusable Offer) from the Crown Store for free. The Quest will send you to Belkarth, to talk to Amminus Varo.
Amminus Varo is located right outside Belkarth, in the Craglorn zone. To travel faster to him you can use one of the portals near every Impresario Tent.
He will explain aspects of Zenithar’s beliefs and ask you to assist him with certain tasks. The first task is to provide him with Baked Apples. You can get apples near him and buy the recipe to make Baked Apples from the Chef Vendor in the area. Make the apples and give them to him.
His second task is to collect Wood nearby. Then for his final task, you will have to retrieve the Blessed Awl tool from enemies nearby. During the fight you need to defeat an Overworld Boss type of enemy(1.5 million Health), which can be tough for newer players.
Return to Amminus Varo and follow his instructions to complete the quest. This is a lengthier than normal Event introductory quest that is trying to teach new players about the Event related activities!
Daily Quest – Zeal of Zenithar Event
Once you complete the introductory Quest, a single Daily Quest will become available. Next to Amminus Varo, you can speak to Fasaria and accept her “Honest Toil” Daily Quest.
Honest Toil will ask you to first pray to Zenithar(or have Fasaria pray for you if you are not the religious type!) and then complete one out of three available tasks:
- Gain a level or earn a Champion Point
- Unearth an Antiquity or Treasure Chest
- Trade with Guild Traders(5000 Gold exchanged at Guild Traders)
You only need to complete one of the above tasks to complete the quest. Unearthing a green antiquity seems to be the easiest way!
Completing this Daily Quest every day will reward you with a Zenithar’s Sublime Parcel as well as three(3) Event Tickets!
Zeal of Zenithar Event Rewards
By completing the “Honest Toil” quest every day, you earn a Golden Zenithar’s Sublime Parcel. It is also possible to earn Purple Zenithar’s Delightful Parcels by completing additional activities.
