Notes

• The quest was replaced withFor Cake's Sakeas of the 10th Anniversary Jubilee in 2024 with the explanation that Chef Donolon has set sail, though if you have completed it before, you will have unique dialogue withApprentice Moghabout trying Donolon's cakes.
• The cake can be shared with others in yourgroupif they don't have their own.
• The XP buff stacks (additively) with the following XP buffs: Alliance WarKeep bonues;Crown Experience ScrollORPsijic Ambrosia(or 100% and 150% alternatives);ESO Plus;Groupingbuff;Rings of Mara;ExplorationTrait.
  • In 2016, there was initially a bug that prevented the cake from stacking with other buffs, as XP bonus was capped at 100%. A fix was released shortly after, and the event was extended from April 10 to April 12 as an apology.
• The buff cannot be reapplied inCyrodiil.
• After the event ended each year, Chef Donolon was removed from the dockyards, but his supplies and boat remain. TheDonolon Bakesbook was moved from the docks to the respective cities' localinns.^{[verification needed — after 2017?]}The cake mementos remain usable by those who earned them, but theylose its golden glowand no longer apply the buff.

Bugs

• When giving the quest in 2016, the Jubilee Cake Voucher took the name of your currently-equipped helmet. With no helmet equipped, the name was blank.
• The voucher is removed from your inventory as soon as you use it. If you exit out of the dialogue before the quest starts, you will not be able to use the voucher again. However, the voucher can be re-obtained from the Crown Store should this happen.
• Previous cake mementos are usable and apply the experience buff during subsequent years' events.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g.,<Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
