Elder Scrolls Online: Anniversary Jubilee Event Guide 2023

With the prosperity of the gaming industry, I believe you have higher and higher requirements for gaming devices, so now there are more devices available on the market, such as PC, mobile phones, Switch and Xbox series game consoles. Although this greatly meets your device needs, it also brings another problem: what should you do when you want to play cross-platform games? In order to attract more players, many large games have been working hard to develop cross-platform play in recent years to give themselves more advantages, especially those MMORPGs. But to your surprise, as a MMORPG that has been running for more than ten years, Elder Scrolls Online has not launched cross-platform play as of 2024, but it is expected that this situation may change in 2025. ESO Officially Landed On Xbox Game Pass Xbox Game Pass is actually a subscription service that was launched on June 1, 2017. It includes a rotating library of games, and as long as you have an active subscription, you can always access your existing games through video game consoles, Microsoft Windows, Android, iOS, etc., and even provide discounts on DLC for some games. After Elder Scrolls Online landed on Xbox Game Pass, you might think that you will be able to share ESO Gold held by the same game account on most of your devices, but the fact is that this is limited to Xbox consoles. Although PC players can currently play ESO through Xbox Cloud Gaming of Game Pass, it is also limited to PC and cannot be shared across platforms. Elder Scrolls Online Gameplay Although cross-platform play has many benefits, it is may not suitable for all gameplay, so we will analyze it for you based on this. First of all, ESO was released in 2014 and has received unanimous praise from many game critics and players since its release, and even won British Academy Games Award and many award nominations in this decade. The game is set on the continent of Tamriel. The gameplay is mostly non-linear, with a mixture of quests, random events and free exploration, which can provide enough playable content for players of different skill levels, such as: Character creation: You can start creating your first character at the beginning of the game, and then you can choose a race for the character, and the choice of race will also determine the character’s alliance, class, gender, appearance, voice and name. High degree of freedom of exploration: The continent of Tamriel provides you with multiple quests and free battles to ensure your freedom of exploration. Combat system: ESO’s combat system brings you a richer combat experience by effectively combining strikes, spells and abilities. Team content: You can get more ESO Gold by teaming up with other players to complete more challenging tasks and defeat more powerful enemies. Grand open world: As the main world of the game, Tamriel has many locations, ranging from tropical islands to snow-capped mountains, and the scenery is also very good. Diverse content: No matter what your skill level is, whether you like to play PVE or PVP mode, ESO can satisfy you. Elder Scrolls Online Cross-Platform Rules The game still does not bring official cross-platform play to this day. Although it is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and there are some exceptions such as Xbox consoles only, players from different platforms cannot interact with each other whether exploring Tamriel, fighting powerful creatures or completing quests. However, it is worth noting that Elder Scrolls Online supports cross-generation games, which means that you can play ESO both on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and the same is true for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Will ESO Usher In Cross-Platform Play In 2025? 2024 is the tenth anniversary of Elder Scrolls Online. The game held a related celebration event, and the development team announced in the second half of 2024 that it will make several major changes to the game starting in 2025, such as a new season system and new DLC. So you are likely to hope to hear ESO cross-platform news in the second half of this year. But given the size of the game world and the sheer number of players, it might be too much of a stretch to bring more extensive cross-platform play to ESO than it already has, and even trickier is the political stance of the major platform owners in the market. Fortunately, while your hopes for cross-platform play in Elder Scrolls Online will be dashed for a long time, the game is gradually adding more content to play. For example, Update 45, and the new DLC Fallen Banners, which was launched not long ago on March 10, will also allow you to explore two new dungeons called Lep Seclusa and Exiled Redoubt. Or if you’re an old ESO player, you should know that Cyrodiil, the main battlefield of PVP mode, has been experiencing server overload issues, and it is expected that the relevant bugs will also be resolved through Cyrodiil Champions test, which will end on March 31. In short, although ESO currently does not offer cross-platform play, its future performance should be more than enough to make up for this, so if you want to experience the game for a long time, you might as well use your favorite device with peace of mind!

Some time ago, ZeniMax, the developer of Elder Scrolls Online, announced that this game, which has been released for more than ten years, will introduce a very big change in 2025, that is, abandoning the previous Chapters and turning to a Seasonal System that is updated every 3-6 months, and no longer yearly expansions. As soon as this news came out, ESO immediately became the focus of discussion among players. Some loyal players of this game find it difficult to accept such frequent updates to the game content, thinking that this will make the entire game with a very deep foundation become neither fish nor fowl. Other players who strive to try new things strongly support this improvement, because it will add a lot of theme story content, activities, store items and dungeons to ESO, and will also give players more fresh game experience. But in fact, this controversial change will greatly revitalize this long-standing massively multiplayer online role-playing game, because it will not only give players who originally explored it a high-quality gaming experience, but also make some players who have never tried Elder Scrolls series of games interested in it and even start exploring it. For Original Players As just introduced, after Elder Scrolls Online is updated with the Seasonal System, you will have more new gaming experiences every 3-6 months, such as the currently confirmed Cyrodiil and some zones in the base game, which will provide you with some new tasks and activities, so that you can farm ESO Gold or items in the fresh game content. In addition, each new content added is permanent, and you don’t have to worry about all the tasks, stories and new areas being deleted after the season ends when exploring in games like Diablo 4. So even if you unfortunately miss one season, you will not miss all the new content in that season. Some players may worry that all the new content promised by the developers will not be released all at once in the latest update, so that players may need to spend more time waiting for the next seasonal game content. This is actually completely unnecessary, because ZeniMax has publicly stated that a large new continent will be added to ESO intermittently, so we can fully expect this very courageous developer to bring a new area with high quality for players to explore in the following year. In Seasonal System that ESO will use this year, you will not only see the addition of new game content but also the return of some familiar characters, such as Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Fighters Guild and other organizations, as well as their more content related to the existing storyline. What’s more, the game tools and functions that the original ESO players have always criticized have also been solved to a certain extent with the help of Seasonal System, such as the performance issues of the guilds and Cyrodiil that have been requested to be added. At this stage, Elder Scrolls Online Direct has been confirmed to start on April 10, so these detailed changes and the game content in Season 1 may not be revealed until then. For New Players In fact, in the community of this massively multiplayer online role-playing game, you can often see some players who have never tried this series of games expressing their interest in exploring it, but they were usually discouraged by the huge amount of game content in this game before. But with the new Seasonal System, these new players will have an easier time exploring ESO, because the shorter update content will allow players to only focus on the new content added in this season, instead of having to explore the current updated chapter and all the game content added before, which is a huge workload. More importantly, after more than ten years of refinement, Elder Scrolls Online has become a very mature game. It will listen to players’ opinions and suggestions in a timely manner and make corrections to ensure that its player base will not be lost. For example, the performance of PVP that players have been calling for has been modified recently, as well as the wrong achievements such as Ascending Tide Scout, etc. So you can have a very comfortable game experience of farming ESO Gold or grinding experience points in it, because it is tailor made for players. Additionally, Elder Scrolls Online in 2025 will have a better onboarding system and some guidance, allowing these new players to dive into this fantastic MMO after their first try, something that many long-standing MMOs have not realized. In general, Seasonal System introduced by Elder Scrolls Online in 2025 may make some long-time players uncomfortable, but this is also a very correct change made by this old game to adapt to the current game market. We can indeed look forward to whether the addition of this system will make the entire game more vibrant. I wish you a happy game!

To celebrate Elder Scrolls Online’s 10th anniversary, the developers are launching a brand new event, Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event, which is also the first event available after entering 2025. The event has started at 10 am EST on January 23, 2025, and will last until February 4, 2025 at 10 am EST. During the event, it will be held in all areas of Tamriel! You don’t need to own any specific Chapters or DLC to participate in the event, but there are some returning collectibles that you can only get from the Impresario’s Assistant in certain DLC areas. Please come with us and enter this new event! Event Boosts In addition to the usual reward boxes, Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event offers players some great boosts, including a higher chance to get Antiquity Leads, Furnishings, and other valuables by digging in Treasure Maps. Additionally, fishing drops are carefully curated. As long as you fish the right type of hole in the right area, you’re guaranteed to get a previously uncollected Trophy Fish to complete your unfinished achievement. Finally, there’s a 100% XP boost that’s automatically applied throughout the event and can be stacked with other XP boosts. Reward Boxes Now, let’s get to those reward boxes! You can get reward boxes by killing all of the different boss monsters found throughout Tamriel. On land, there’s a chance that event boxes will drop from defeating World Bosses, Delve Bosses, Public Dungeon Bosses, and completing Incursions. Note, however, that Dolmens’ drops are from bosses, so you’ll need to be in the top 12 in terms of damage to get them, so areas like Alik’r Desert are not recommended. There’s also a cooldown between box drops from each character, so keep that in mind if you’re farming bosses back-to-back. If you’re looking for the fastest way to farm, you’ll most likely want to turn to other characters and switch between them as they take on different public dungeon bosses. For more challenging content, the final bosses in Trials, Dungeons, Arenas, and Tho’at Replicanum in the Infinite Archive all drop event boxes. But again, box drops only come from final bosses. The first box you get each day will be a gold box, which you’ll get when you open it, giving you the new, very stylish Lion Guard Captain Outfit Style Pages. In addition to your gold box, you’ll also get 3 Event Tickets (39 total during the event). You can only claim the gold box and tickets once per account per day, and the next drop of the day will be a purple box. Purple boxes mostly only contain crafting materials, but they also have a slight chance to drop ESO Gold and other items, in addition to new Style Pages. However, these purple boxes also have a chance to drop random Style Pages from the previous expansion celebration. Event Merchants Impresario’s Assistant During the event, Impresario’s Assistant will also carry these Style Pages, as well as a few other returning collectibles, but his inventory will depend on the zone you’re in when you talk to him. Morrowind: Doctrine Ordinator Style Pages, Slag Town Diver skin, Memento, and fragments from Fabricant Pet. Summerset: Evergloam Champion Style and Snowhawk Mage Outfit Style Pages, Wooden Grave-Stake Memento fragments, and Gloam Gryphon Fledgeling Pet. Northern Elsweyr: Claw-Dance Acolyte Style and Ja’zennji Siir Outfit Style Pages. Western Skyrim: Saarthal Scholar Style and Sovngarde Stalwart Style. High Isle: Oaken Order Outfit Style. Necrom: Apocrypha Expedition Outfit Style. Blackwood: Y’ffre’s Fallen-Wood Style, and pieces for a pet. In all locations, Impresario’s Assistant will also carry fragments of 2 Morphing Pets from years past, as well as 2 really awesome Morphs, Hourglass, which lets you change the time inside a house when placed, and Doomchar Plateau! Indrik Vendor Indrik Vendor will have 2 returning Indrik Morphs and fragments for 2 pets. But as if her assistants didn’t already have so much to spend money on. Impresario only carries the new Lion Guard Captain Outfit Style Pages, 3 fragments of this year’s new Morphing Pets, and the first Morphing fragments for the new Rune Extraction animation. If you were a player during last year’s Anniversary Event, you may remember the replicas she carried. Thankfully, this year, their drop rates can be increased based on other achievements you may have unlocked, but the Impresario will also be selling them for 10 tickets each. So if you’re sad about not unlocking these collectibles last year, don’t automatically jump to spending your tickets. Remember that these Style Pages are bound! If you get the corresponding replicas, their chances of dropping will increase again as you explore Tamriel. So if you’re a bit strapped for Event Tickets, give this a try. However, you can also try participating in the occasional giveaways in iGMeet Discord, where you may be able to score some of the collectibles you’ve been looking for! That’s everything you need to know about ESO Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event 2025! Whether you’re farming for those fishing achievements, treasure map clues, or bosses, hopefully everyone can enjoy such a lucrative event!

In this guide, I’ll show you an easy way to grind XP in Elder Scrolls Online, which is to destroy Dark Anchors. Dark Anchors are specific locations where Molag Bal’s forces set up “anchors”, each area has 3 anchors. Dark Anchors are not always active. They’re World Events in Elder Scrolls Online, so you’ll periodically see a group of fanatics start summoning anchors with spells and making them active. You can hear the spell from afar and when the portal opens, the horn will sound, and it’s time to fight to defend Tamriel! Location Of Anchors As a quick introduction, I’ll mention that at each location where anchors are present, only one anchor is active at a time. If you discover an anchor, you can observe this on the map. The active anchor has a moving icon, and you’ll also see crossed swords on it. The Order Of Anchor Activation First, you must pay attention to the order in which anchors are activated. For Glenumbra, the pattern is as follows: all you need to do is walk from anchor to anchor in the correct order. One thing to consider, though, is that the time between one anchor activating and the next depends on how quickly the player destroys it. Sometimes the anchor may be active for two minutes, sometimes for ten minutes, or even longer. Therefore, strategies for earning XP may vary depending on how long you play the game. Because if there is almost no one on the server, you can try to close the anchors yourself and walk from one anchor to another in the correct order. Improving The speed Of Your Mount Is Very Important However, oftentimes, especially during peak hours, you may not arrive on time, as many players will close the anchor in a short period. You have to judge for yourself whether you will succeed. It also depends on how fast your mount is, and whether you’re willing to spend ESO Gold to teleport to another location instead of using Wayshrines. If your mount’s speed, the number of players on the server, or your finances don’t allow you to complete the mission, you’ll have to travel to Wayshrines in a specific mode. Recommended Skip Anchor Two Then you only need to skip one anchor, but it doesn’t have to always be the same one. For Glenumbra, the pattern is as follows: If you destroy Anchor One, you need to go to Anchor Three. You will then jump over Anchor Two, which will be destroyed by the player at the time. Next, go from Anchor Three to Anchor Two, because Anchor One will be opened at this time and other players will destroy the anchor point. After you destroy Anchor Two, head to Anchor One. Normally, Anchor Three would be turned off at that time. As for Anchor Three, there is often no one nearby in Glenumbra because it is difficult to reach if you don’t know the way. So sometimes you have to wait longer for it to close, although this is not a rule. I often use Anchor Three’s active time to visit merchants. I’m just here to sell the unwanted items I get when destroying anchors. If you don’t want to run from anchor point to anchor point, you can use one of these. As far as Glenumbra goes, the reason I recommend Anchor Two is simple. Because there is a boss nearby that you can defeat alone or with others if you are powerful. Of course, if you are a new player, it is a wise choice to team up with them to start the boss battle. Sell Additional Items To Merchant In your free time, I recommend looking around for merchants and selling unnecessary items. These merchants are scattered in any corner of the map. But another thing I want to tell you is that it’s worth looking around because you’ll often find chests near anchors. The last thing I want to tell you is obvious. I recommend using Experience Scrolls to double XP you earn from farming if you have them. Good luck!
