The first ever Heart’s Week in-game event comes to ESO with new quests, boons, and rewards!

"Mara teaches us that love is not only reserved for the lovestruck or newly married, but for friends and passing strangers alike. Our celebrations remind us that we dance in her light whenever we are brave enough to bare our hearts."—Kuzam-jo, Priest of Mara

Heart’s Week
Mara’s blessings come to ESO with the arrival of a new in-game event. Celebrate those close to you during Heart’s Week, from February 11, 2026 to February 18, 2026.
During the event, you can earn special rewards including Event Tickets and the new Heart’s Day Duelist outfit style. In addition, your Companions gain XP (including Skill Line XP) at a 100% increased rate and enjoy an increase to Rapport gained by 50% and a decrease to losses of Rapport by 50% during this time.
Share the love with Kuzam-jo
To help share the love, you can complete the “Heartsick Follies” quest offered by Kuzam-jo at the Festival Grounds in Craglorn, just outside Belkarth. This quest is optional for the event's bonuses, but it awards the Amulet of the Heart memento required for certain event Achievements as well as a new event reward box, called Mara’s Parcels (more on both rewards below).
Parcel Out Rewards
During the event period, you can earn Mara’s Parcels in several ways, but primarily by completing adventuring tasks with friends. Being in a group with one or more other players counts, as does having a Companion summoned. The tasks that award parcels are:
- Defeating a delve boss.[/*]
- Defeating a world boss.[/*]
- Defeating an Infinite Archive boss.[/*]
- A chance for a parcel when you complete an Incursion, such as a Dark Anchor or Abyssal Geyser.[/*]
- Looting a treasure chest.[/*]
- A small chance for a parcel when you harvest resource nodes.[/*]
- Pickpocketing an NPC.[/*]
Additionally, each of the event’s four non-repeatable quests, including “Heartsick Follies” (which starts the chain), grant a parcel for completion.
Enjoy boons for your Companions
The first time you receive a parcel during a day, you are awarded a gold-quality Mara’s Extravagant Parcel. Subsequent awards during the same day yield purple quality Mara’s Delectable Parcels instead.
Mara’s Extravagant Parcels contain:
- A chance of assorted Alchemy materials[/*]
- A chance of a random style item[/*]
- A chance of crafting boosters, such as Pitch, Embroidery, or Tempering Alloy[/*]
- A chance of one of the following:[/*][list]
- A furnishing recipe[/*]
- A Heart’s Week-themed Provisioning recipe[/*]
- Unbound Equipment Repair Kits [/*]
- Bound Group Repair Kits[/*]
- A random Treasure Map[/*]
- A Guild Citation consumable for the Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, or Undaunted[/*]
- A Companion Gift consumable[/*][list]
- These new items boost Rapport with a given companion. Each companion has a “major” gift and a “minor” gift specifically for them. You must already be at least friendly with the Companion for them to accept a gift from you[/*]
- The very first Extravagant Parcel opened during the event will contain a guaranteed gold-quality Companion Ring[/*]
The dashing Heart’s Day Duelist armor outfit style
Mara’s Delectable Parcels contain:

Note that the daily Extravagant Parcels have improved chances of all random rewards compared to the repeatable Delectable Parcels.

Event Tickets & The Impresario
You can earn up to two Event Tickets each day by participating in the event. You earn tickets alongside your Mara’s Extravagant Parcel each day. Note that these items are looted together, and the tickets are not contained in the box itself. Also be aware that Event Tickets cannot be earned by pickpocketing—the holiday is for stealing hearts, not rewards! You can earn up to 16 total Event Tickets over the course of Heart’s Week.
Once you’ve earned your Event Tickets, you can spend them at the Impresario’s tent in the usual fashion. She’s acquired the finest Heart’s Day wares to offer for the event, including:
- Bound Heart’s Day Duelist outfit style pages [/*]
- All three Roseblood Bat pet fragments[/*] [list]

- Red Rose Petals[/*]

- Nascent Indrik Feathers[/*]
- Dawnwood Indrik Berries[/*]
