ESO Favors Guide
Timer is set to July 8, 2026 at 1PM ET (Season One launch).
Favors are daily quests picked up from Freerunner's Post Boards in Skywatch in Auridon, Aldcroft in Glenumbra and Ebonheart in Stonefalls. The Skywatch board is for Battlereeve Urcelmo, the Aldcroft board is for Lady Arabelle Davaux and the Ebonheart board is for Holgunn One-Eye.
Favors on each board are a set sequence. If your Auridon board is on Step 5, it gives the Auridon Step 5 task. If someone else is on Step 5, they get the same task too. Quests can be deliveries, interacting with objects, delve bosses, world bosses, kill quests, gather quests, scout objectives and quests that send you to finish a specific zone quest.
Completing a Favor rewards a curated coffer. The coffers can include leads, overland set pieces, furnishing recipes, white quality food and treasure you can sell to vendors.
Post Boards
Freerunner's Post Boards are in Skywatch in Auridon, Aldcroft in Glenumbra, and Ebonheart in Stonefalls. Each board gives a daily Favor, and the tasks advance through a sequence.

Favor Categories
| Category | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Take items from the chest next to the board, then deliver them to a chest or target spot. | Example: Delivery to Willowgrove in Reaper's March |
| Interact | Use a provided item or interact with a marked spot. | Example: Feed cats in Skywatch |
| Quest | Points you to finish a specific zone quest, then read a letter at the board. If you already completed the quest, it points you to the letter only. | Example: Help Jurak-dar in Moonmont. Points to Desecrated Ground quest |
| World Boss | Kill a World Boss in the listed zone. | Example: Kill world boss in Malabal Tor |
| Delve Boss | Kill a delve boss in the listed zone. | Example: Kill a delve boss in Reaper's March |
| Kill | Kill a listed enemy type near a named area. | Example: Kill 12 Ogres near Shinji's Scarp in Stormhaven |
| Gather | Collect named items from a public dungeon, area, or enemies. | Example: Gather Gargoyle's Eye from the Lost City of the Na-Totambu public dungeon in Alik'r Desert |
| Scout | Go to a marked point and the quest completes when you arrive. | Example: Scout Farangel's Landing in Stormhaven |
| Special | Fight 3 waves of regular overland adds at a marked spot. Rewards a Purple coffer instead of a Blue one. | Example: Destroy the Wolf Pack in Malabal Tor |
Favors
I am doing these every day on PTS, starting from June 21, 2026. Stonefalls is currently stuck after Favor 5 because that favor is bugged and cannot be completed, so I cannot progress the Stonefalls sequence until it is fixed. I do not know if Stonefalls will be bugged on release. I do not know how many favors there are in total yet.
Stonefalls Bug
Stonefalls Favor 5 is bugged. After finishing Where the Frostheart Grows, the favor tells you to read the Letter from Mizrali at the board, but that letter is not there.
I tried finishing quests around that area in case it was a phasing issue, but that did not help. I also tried abandoning the favor, which did not help either. It restarts at this stage and stays broken. I am not sure if it will behave the same way on live.
Rewards
Favors reward you with curated coffers. The coffers can include leads, overland set pieces, furnishing recipes, white quality food and treasure you can sell to vendors. Every tenth favor rewards a purple coffer instead of a blue one, but I have not noticed better loot from it so far.
