Elder Scrolls Online Patch 39: New Content, Updates, and Bug Fixes

Since its official launch, Elder Scrolls Online may not always be the hottest MMORPG, but it has its own advantages, which have enabled it to keep moving forward steadily and still occupy a place in the game market after ten years. In April 2024, ESO held a 10th anniversary event in Amsterdam. If you pay attention to this game, you will find that it has been changing and adjusting to keep up with the times since its launch in 2014. Since 2017, Elder Scrolls Online has released amazing content and systems every year. As 2024 is coming to an end, the game developers said that starting from 2025, you will not only continue to see the launch of new ideas and releases but also can witness the upgrade efforts made by ESO to keep it relevant, outstanding and attractive. Based on this, we will introduce you to the major changes that Elder Scrolls Online will make in 2025 from several main aspects. Introducing Seasons From Morrowind in 2017 to Gold Road six months ago, zone design and quest content have been at the heart of virtually every Elder Scrolls game to date, including ESO. But in 2025, while a lot of story content will still be produced, Elder Scrolls Online will move more towards a seasonal content model, rather than releasing large-scale content updates once a year like episodes. Expect to can experience named seasons in the game for three or six months next year, which will include themed story content, new events, new dungeon quests that drop ESO Gold, and more. New Changes And Tests As you know, any game needs to add new and different types of content constantly and address long-standing player feedback issues. Based on this, Elder Scrolls Online developers said they have begun working on some tests that will be launched in 2025. So you may see some of this content on live servers in 2025 and beyond. It’s worth noting, though, that some of this will be tests, and some will be improvements based on your feedback and that of other players: Increase the difficulty of standard world battles. Improve your combat experience by improving animations, FX, and potentially audio work. Try more areas, such as Craglorn. And create specifically for high-end group and soft group content, with relevant equipment chases. Add and improve tools to make guild recruitment, interaction, and management easier and more logical. In addition, the game will also address the performance issues of Cyrodiil. By trying Cyrodiil campaign, all classes will have PVP-specific skills, and these skills will replace standard player skills, in order to better support you in each campaign. Of course, if you have any good related opinions, you can also give feedback to the game official through various channels. Pay More Attention To New And Returning Users Previously, some players have reported that the current ESO game scale is too large and lacks enough detailed guidance, so that the new user experience is not good. In addition, there are also some players who do not log in to the game frequently for various reasons, so they may also feel overwhelmed when returning to the game. With that in mind, we anticipate that in 2025 Elder Scrolls Online will make some improvements to give these players the basic guidance they need to enjoy the game before opening up all the possibilities. For example, making sure the game’s map and other quest UI areas reveal you where you left off and where you’ll find the content you’re after. Here are some things game plans to improve the experience for both new and returning players - some of which will be available in 2025, and some of which may be more later: A new PC-only patch to improve visuals and performance. Regularly tweaking the original Wailing Prison tutorial area for all new players to improve the experience. Visual improvements to base game areas with updated textures and art, starting with the starter islands (likely to start rolling out in March 2025) Beautify the game’s PC UI. Improvements to other map and UI systems to make returning to the game a smoother process. More Exciting Storylines Although the content release model will change, Elder Scrolls Online will continue to add new quest content. Since the focus of the game is no longer on adding huge new continents, it is expected that the game will use existing areas and regions to tell new stories, such as: Based on continuing to expand the stories in existing areas and storylines, let those familiar characters return. Make the new story content more focused on iconic ESO organizations, such as Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, Fighters Guild, and Mages Guild. Divide a large area into multiple for updating. The development team is also working hard to find a new rhythm recently so that new content and systems can be combined with addressing feedback, solving problems, and adding new tasks and activities to existing areas and stories. Ensure that these new stories can be better integrated into your game experience based on updating the plot. It is also worth mentioning that the next major announcement event of Elder Scrolls Online is expected to be held in April 2025, which will include a lot of content and the first season will be launched at the same time. But for this, you have to wait. Fortunately, you still have a chance to get more relevant information from the official at some point in the early new year.

As a successful MMORPG, Elder Scrolls Online has maintained good popularity since its launch in 2014. To this day, an average of 30,000 players are still conducting various interesting explorations and battles on Tamriel continent every day. If you are one of these players, then you must know that Tamriel is the main background continent in ESO. It is extremely vast, containing various game areas with different landforms and styles, and it is also the story foundation for the main storyline of the game. But besides these contents, there are actually many rich side stories in ESO for you to complete. They not only have high-quality stories independent of the main storyline but also provide you with various props, including Elder Scrolls Online Gold as quest rewards. Based on this, we will select 7 side quests worth completing for you among all the side quests in the current game. 1.Unearthed Quest This quest is given to you by Foreman Gandis of Shor’s Stone Mine, who can be found in Skyrim, the cold but bustling northern region of Tamriel. He will then ask you to first free his men from Reachmen hiding in the ancient companion’s tomb. After successfully passing the persuasion check, you can get a key to a secret door to make it faster through the mines and reach the tomb. However, the last chamber is protected by a puzzle, and this puzzle requires you to visit an antechamber to find Medallion of Fireheart, and then visit another antechamber to find Amulet of Darkhammer. Completing this will give you Gold, around 2800 XP, and Companion’s Chausses. 2. Summer Site In the jungles of Bosmer homeland of Valenwood, you can talk to Tharuin the Melancholy near Dra’bul Wayshrine and learn that Falinesti Summer Site has been delayed in returning to the area. Tharuin explains that there have been recent lightning strikes and Daedra sightings nearby. You then need to investigate these events. During the process, you will see a purple light emanating from a stone archway. When you approach, you will encounter a projection of a woman who seems to be trying to save the city. She then instructs you to meet her in a small cave across a wooden bridge, which triggers a battle with Daedra. This means that the portal to Oblivion is closed and you need to start a boss fight with Tulu the Daedroth. 3. Ghostwriter Of Giovesse Ghostwriter of Giovesse quest has a classic RPG style and starts with Author’s Assistant Wanted! flyer. In this quest, you need to provide assistance to the author Yisara, who usually appears in Egg and Hammer Inn in Gideon. At first, it is just a simple escort mission, the purpose of which is to inspire Yisara to write the next novel. But as you progress through the quest, you’ll find that the quest plot is intertwined with Yisara’s novel ideas, leading you and Yisara to search for historical clues in the haunted halls of Castle Giovesse and solve the ultimate mystery to complete the quest. 4. Tempest Unleashed To complete this quest, you first need to complete the prerequisite, which is to bring Maormer Ambassador Ulondil to justice. After that, you need to return to the port city of Mistral, where Sea Vipers have launched an attack on the docks and urgently need you to provide as much support as possible to the defenders. During the counterattack, you need to clear the combatants on the docks and, under the guidance of the survivors, pass through the tavern and head to the mines. While passing through the wind tunnel in the mines, you will see a projection showing that Sea Vipers have captured the storm element and intend to use it to destroy Mistral. 5. Half-Formed Understandings If you have been a loyal player of ESO, then you must be familiar with King of Worms Mannimarco. He first appears in Mages Guild questline in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, where he leads Necromancers. In ESO, he appears in the opening cinematic and will sacrifice your character to Molag Bal. If you enjoy exploring the deep lore of Elder Scrolls Online, this quest is for you. As you complete the quest, you’ll get to see where it all began, tracing the events that led to Mannimarco’s expulsion from the mysterious Psijic Order and how he ended up in horrific experiments and the darkest depths of necromancy. Upon completion, you’ll also receive Staff of Forbidden Knowledge besides ESO Gold and XP. 6. Vanus Unleashed Daedra One of the most well-known characters in Tamriel’s magicka lore and Mages Guild, Vanus Galerion is actually one of the most powerful magicians in all of Nirn, and it was he who founded Mages Guild. In this quest, you’ll need to assist him in destroying Great Shackle within Black Forge. At the start of the quest, you’ll find a recording of Vanus outlining his plans, enabling you to join him. After entering this quest, you’ll need to restore Galerion’s stolen health, magicka, and stamina to restore his full power.

Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is gearing up for an exciting update, known as Update 40, with a host of new features and content to offer. During a recent Twitch live stream, ESO announced the first public details of this update, which promises to continue the Shadow Over Morrowind storyline for 2023. Update 40 is scheduled to be released for PC/Mac on October 30, with Xbox and PlayStation players gaining access on November 14. Here's a sneak peek into what's in store: Endless Archive: One of the major highlights of Update 40 is the introduction of the Endless Archive, an endless dungeon experience. What sets this dungeon apart is its accessibility, as it will be available to all players as a base game update. ESO Plus members will enjoy additional bonuses in this dungeon. The Endless Archive can be tackled solo, with a friend, or alongside a companion. With over 60 unique bosses drawn from various corners of Tamriel, each run promises a different challenge. Importantly, there are no normal or veteran versions of the Endless Archive, and it's not a timed event. Leaderboards will be available for both solo and duo players. Grand Master Crafting Stations: Crafting in ESO is getting a significant quality-of-life upgrade with Update 40. Grand Master Crafting Stations will make their debut, simplifying the crafting station system. These stations can be acquired using Writs and will consolidate the crafting process. For instance, the woodworking station can be attuned to include specific armor sets. This change aims to declutter guild halls, reducing the number of crafting stations to just four: woodworking, blacksmithing, jewelry, and clothing, in addition to the essential alchemy and enchanting stations. Jewelry System Revamp: The jewelry crafting system is due for an overhaul in Update 40 to bring it in line with other crafting skills. While more details are yet to be revealed, grains will be converted to platings, eliminating grains altogether. Existing inventory will be converted to the new system. Crafting writs for jewelry will also be adjusted to align with other crafting systems. Group Finder: ESO is introducing a new tool called the Group Finder, which will facilitate group creation. Players can post group requests for various activities, including dungeons, trials, zones, and even customizable areas. This feature aims to assist console players who lack access to certain PC addons. Additionally, it may help reduce the volume of zone chat discussions in places like Craglorn. Archival Fortunes: Update 40 brings a new monetary system called Archival Fortunes, integrated with the Endless Archive content. These Archival Fortunes can be earned and used alongside gold to purchase rewards from specialized vendors. The rewards may include armor sets, Tales of Tribute clues, and other enticing items. More details on these rewards are expected soon. New Armor Sets: While the information on new armor sets is limited to the PTS (Public Test Server) at this stage, there's a glimpse of what's to come: - Wrathsun (Templar class): This set boosts weapon and spell damage, critical chance, and provides unique bonuses related to Dawn's Wrath abilities, adding magicka recovery and bonus damage. - Reawakened Hierophant (Arcanist class): With a focus on maximum magicka, this set offers beneficial effects to allies based on the number of Crux you possess, including damage shields, Minor Heroism, and Major Protection. - Soulcleaver (Nightblade class): This set enhances weapon and spell damage, maximum magicka, and significantly augments Siphoning abilities by consuming Ultimate and reducing their cost. Tales of Tribute - Academ’s Mora: A sneak peek reveals the name of the new Tales of Tribute deck: Academ’s Mora. While the details are scarce, players can earn fragments for this deck within the Endless Archive and purchase clues from specialized vendors using Archival Fortunes. Elder Scrolls Online's Update 40 promises a wealth of exciting changes and additions. From the Endless Archive dungeon to simplified crafting stations, the revamp of the jewelry system, and the introduction of the Group Finder, players have much to look forward to. Additionally, the new Archival Fortunes currency and enticing armor sets will add depth to the ESO experience. As the update approaches, players can prepare for a fresh adventure in Tamriel, filled with challenges and rewards.

Elder Scrolls Online will introduce a new class in this year, the powerful and mysterious Arcanist class. It derived directly its abilities and mechanics from Hermaeus Mora’s realm of Oblivion. The Arcanist will be the seventh class in ESO, the first new class added since the Necromancer in 2019's Elsweyr Chapter. Players will definitely feel the charm of magical superpowers when using this class. At the same time, players can also unlock more new classes, new characters and new areas of exploration. The new classes not only have new character types but also brand new game mechanics. Among them, Crux is a combat mechanism that can activate this Arcanist class. The more Crux you have, the more powerful your character skills become. This has the advantage that players can develop their own gameplay based on their game strategy. Along with this combat mechanism, it derives three unique skills: Herald of the Tome: Manipulate arcane energies to bombard your foes with damaging blasts, beams, and more. This will be the main offensive skill line for the Arcanist and you'll probably be using it a lot if you're playing as a DPS role. Curative Runeforms: Make use of healing runes to keep yourself and your group healthy and shield your allies from damage. This skill line is primarily focused on support and healing, so it will probably see the most use by healers and tanks. Apocryphal Soldier: This skill line helps you to play defensively and protect your allies, and also allows you to dominate your foes' attentions and buff yourself and your group's defensive capabilities. It is likely that this skill will contain a taunt ability and be used mostly by tanks. These skills will be applicable to different types of players, whether offensive, to support, and defense, or destructive, restorative, or defensive magic. This class will apply to players of all roles, even including DPS, support, and tank. Like many previous skills, the skills of these class are also a mixture of active, passive, and ultimate abilities. So, how can players get this new class? It will release arcanist class on PC with the new expansion Necrom on June 5th. Console players will be able to see the new expansion on June 20th. Players need to first acquire a Necrom expansion pack with ESO Gold to unlock Arcanist class. You can also get other new classes in the in-game Crown Store after you get the expansion pack. You can find this class under “Upgrades” then “Class”. After your upgrade is complete, you can create new Arcanist class characters.
