New Crafted
"Perfectly Serious Items to Craft XIV" joins us this year as our newest Bristlebane Day recipe book. As with the other recipe books for this event, it requires level 2 artisan to scribe, special Bristlebane event harvestables and tier 1 and tier 2 common harvestables. The special Bristlebane harvests come from Jester's gardens, which spawn in Commonlands, Antonica, Greater Faydark, Darklight Wood, Timorous Deep, and Frostfang Sea. The book is heirloom, costs 60s and 90c and contains recipes for the following items within it (pristine combines yield 2):

New Buyables
You will find "a Bristlebane Day merchant" in every home crafting society area, selling both new and returning items, including the brand-new "Perfectly Serious Items to Craft XIV". Most of these items will require the event-specific currency, Fool's Gold coins, but two are sold for cash.

New Quest
There is one new quest, using a slightly different mechanic than you are used to for live events, so please read carefully and also spread the word to your friends.
You will need to harvest the quest starter by hand from the "Jester's Gardens". It will be a random drop, and there will be no fanfare tied to it, so you will want to carefully watch your harvest messages. You will then need to examine the item, a no-trade "Worn Bovoch Hackamore" to accept the quest "Saddle Up!" All further quest updates will automagically credit as you continue to harvest the Jester's Gardens. At quest completion, you will head to an NPC in the Enchanted Lands to receive your choice of either an Unsaddled Beltie Bovoch Plushie or ten Fool's Gold Coins.

April 1 Hijinks
April 1 is considered the high feast day, or "Highest of Silly Days" during the Bristlebane celebrations. Because of this there are special quests that are available only on April 1, 2022.
New April 1 Quest Rewards
The "Riddled Throughout the Lands" April 1 quest series from Imenand in the Enchanted Lands has a new heirloom housepet reward choice added this year for "Riddle Mei-Theiz" this year: the new Twelve-Sided Stone of a Different Color. This 12-sided die changes color, not only when you pick it up and set it down, but also randomly changes color on its own. Pictures are not yet available for this item as it is not being released early on Test.
New Old Vendor Appears!
Heartgar MacInnes, the Erollisi Day love loot trader reappears on April 1 in Qeynos Harbor and East Freeport so you can trade your miscellaneous love notes and hard candies into barbarian love notes.
Quest Tracker?
Casdoe of Maj'Dul has once again updated her quest tracker for this event and sent me one version in XLS format and one in PDF format. Thanks!
Video Preview?
The incredibly busy Ocarinah has managed to whip up a narrated item preview for Bristlebane Day 2023, as well as a shorter, silent version. Thanks as always - your efforts are greatly appreciated!
