It's Time to Light the Candles in Celebration of ESO's 4th Birthday!

Elder Scrolls Online is turning four years old and developers are ready to light the birthday candles. Starting April 4th and running through April 16th, players can take the Ache for Cake quests to get the "three-tiered Anniversary Jubilee Cake" to add to their mementos collections. But it's not just any cake: Players who place it in front of themselves will receive a 100% XP bonus that stacks with others for two hours.

The event will also see players receive presents in the form of Anniversary crates simply for completing Daily or Weekly quests. This is, by the way, alongside the normal rewards for doing the same. "hese reward boxes contain crafting materials (ore, ingredients, runes, etc.) and a single rare crafting item (Nirncrux, style items, motif pages, etc.)."

To understand which quests are eligible, the Adventurer's Almanac, 2nd Edition has been added. "The book contains everything you need to know about the available weekly and daily quests, including their location, activity type, requirements, and recommended level of experience to complete. There's always adventure to be had in Tamriel, and now, you'll always be able to find it!"

In these four years, we've been proud to hit some big-time milestones, including 10 million players last year. That said, the ESO community has hit some pretty amazing milestones of their own. Check out these incredible in-game statistics from PC/Mac launch until today:

  • Total number of monsters killed: 15,881,472,493
  • Total number of players killed: 1,346,033,201
  • Total number of Soul Gems used: 1,183,836,570
  • Total number of quests completed: 2,064,266,404
  • Total number of items crafted: 7,415,834,454
  • Total number of achievements earned: 1,145,234,018

And, finally, here's some additional numbers that might surprise:

  • Most popular race: High Elf (14.98% of all characters)
  • Most popular Alliance: Ebonheart Pact (36.33% of all characters)
  • Most PvP Kills by Alliance: Ebonheart Pact (122,490,253 kills)
