UPDATE MARCH 20, 2026 - Please note that the Trade Bars and Merchants section has been updated to clarify that Trade Bars must be exchanged with the Impresario merchant to acquire Jester's Festival event rewards.
Madness and Merriment
The glorious return of the beloved Jester’s Festival in-game event begins at 10AM EDT on March 25 and will continue until 10AM EDT on April 2, 2026. Throughout this celebration, you can enjoy huge increases to XP gains and reap ridiculous rewards via event quests! To join this preposterous party, visit the event pavilions located within Ebonheart, Vulkhel Guard, or Daggerfall, and speak with one of the three jesters posing as an alliance leader. If you can’t keep your head on straight while trying to locate these event sites, open the in-game Crown Store and snag the free Jester's Festival Invitation Quest. Steam post image Let Your Inner Jester Run Wild! After completing the introductory quest, you’ll receive the scrumptious Pie of Misrule memento reward, which can be found in the Mementos section of your Collections. As delectable as this pastry is, it’s not necessary to take advantage of the 100% XP buff, as this bonus is passively shared to all participating adventurers. Still, you’d have to be madder than a jester to refuse a bite of this tasty treat!
