Finding Rumors Each entry in the Rumors section of the Journal includes a hint about where that Rumor can be acquired. Once you have obtained it, however, it will be up to you to follow the clues and uncover the solution for your reward. New In-Game Event: High Seas of Tamriel This feature will be available starting week 1 and week 4 of the U51 PTS Cycle. Welcome to a new event for 2026. During the High Seas of Tamriel event, the Gold Coast plays host to a ghost! This first run of High Seas of Tamriel includes two quests - Raising the Riotous Redress : The waves and wind on the Abecean Sea have brought the spirit of Olsien Guy Mard, Baron-Captain of the All-Flags Navy, to shore. Work with the Baron-Captain and some new mortal friends to restore an enchanted ship's bell, break a Sload curse, and restore a sunken vessel. Bounty of the Abecean Sea : The daily quest for High Seas of Tamriel sees you sailing forth to fight a ship-to-ship battle against a hideous Maormer crew of the Lousewhisperer cult! Then you'll dive to the depths to fight undersea beasts and make off with glorious sunken treasure. Rewards We have a lot of compelling nautical-themed rewards to chase in the High Seas event. Completing quests for the event net you Deep Plunder boxes. The first box you receive each day will be legendary! Opening this box will earn you three hundred Trade Bars and a chance at a number of other exciting rewards. When you complete a subsequent High Seas of Tamriel quest on that same day, once per character, you'll receive an epic Deep Plunder Box. Deep Plunder boxes can net you new outfit style pages, progress towards earning a new unique mount, treasure maps, furnishings, and more! Successfully completing the ship to ship battle, or defeating our undersea foes, will also net you new rewards. These include sacks of Pirate gold, furnishings, and more. A Word About Antiquities Tying into the theme of lost treasures and maritime excursions, we've got a boatload (heh) of Antiquities for you to chase in this event. We're offering a number of antiquity leads for new nautical items directly, as well as - for the first time ever - tradeable antiquity leads. These are inventory items that can be traded and sold to other players, and when consumed grant an antiquity lead just as you'd find from any other source. We are also - for the first time - offering furnishing crafting recipes as antiquity leads! Successfully excavating these leads will net you a recipe that you can then craft as many times as you like. These craftable furnishings are downright amazing! And we are very excited to see what you think of them. A note about these: soon after the end of the High Seas of Tamriel event Antiquities will be coming to the base game. Antiquities you earn during this event will still be in your Antiquities journal when the system comes to the base game. So worry not, even if you don't own Greymoor these wonderful rewards will be waiting when the Antiquities go live. Player Experience Improvements This feature will be available starting week 1 of the U51 PTS Cycle. Achievement Pinning You can now pin an achievement to your heads-up-display, similar to a pinned golden pursuit task or tracked quest. To do this go to your Achievement tab in the Journal menu and select an unearned achievement to pin. This space is shared by any pinned golden pursuits to keep from overwhelming the UI, and we've added a new keybind to cycle between pinned achievements and golden pursuit tasks.
