Elder Scrolls Online New Season, Subclasses And Experiments Of 2025: What Kind Of Experience Will They Bring?
Since the end of 2024, Elder Scrolls Online has been announcing various new initiatives to show the game’s determination to become better as it enters its eleventh year. Now that 2025 has come to the fourth month, judging from the current performance, ESO has indeed fulfilled some of its promises.
First of all, Fallen Banners dungeon DLC and update 45, which have been launched, are the first major new content launched by the game in 2025. They have good overall performance and player reviews. At the 2025 Direct held on April 10, ESO announced some new news through the April roadmap. Next, we will introduce you to three of the main contents.
New Season - Seasons Of The Worm Cult
In the past few years, the way Elder Scrolls Online has updated the game content on a large scale has been to release a larger expansion or other content every year, but starting in 2025, the game decided to follow the example of some MMORPGs and switch to a seasonal content model. This will shorten the time between new content releases, and the development team will be able to flexibly adjust the next work plan based on player feedback more quickly.
Seasons Of The Worm Cult is undoubtedly the product of this change. It has landed on the PTS and is expected to be officially launched in June. From a plot perspective, it introduces a new area, the isle of Solstice, to bring a sequel to Molag Bal storyline in the original game, which takes place ten years later. What you have to do is to investigate the revival of Bal’s Worm Cult in the new area.
The isle of Solstice is located near the southern coast of Tamriel and is home to the exiled elves and Argonians. The area has Caribbean-style beaches and tropical forests. While you need to advance the main storyline, the season is expected to bring a series of new events and quests that can provide ESO Gold as rewards to ensure that you have a stable source of gold.
The season is expected to last for several months after the launch, which means that you may not see more new Elder Scrolls Online seasons this year, but this is the first season after the mode change, and it is common to need to run-in. In the coming years, seasons may be shorter, and new seasons may be launched in the form of remakes of old content, such as Dark Brotherhood.
New Subclasses Mode
In June, in addition to the new seasons, you are expected to experience the new subclass feature. It means that no matter which of the seven classes you initially choose in the game, you can also choose skills from up to two other classes’ skill lines to try. Considering the total number of classes and class skills, it is expected to bring more than 3,000 combinations.
The addition of this feature was announced at the 2025 Direct not long ago. Although the development team did not reveal more details at the time, it is certain that first of all, this feature will be unlocked when your character level reaches 50, and you also need to keep at least one skill line from the main class.
In other words, although a character can theoretically learn all non-main class skill lines, it can only actively use skills from two other class skill lines at a time. In addition, the unlocked subclass skill lines will apply to all characters in your account, and the unlocking of some class skill lines requires double skill points, but as long as you play the game frequently, this point is not difficult to obtain.
New Experimental Content
Although a lot of new content has been announced, the development team seems not satisfied with this and is still trying more possibilities. For example, they want to launch a new full-server event around this summer, based on the isle of Solstice, and set up a magic barrier called Writhing Wall here to divide Solstice into two. You and other players need to defend the island from the invasion of Worm Cult by collecting resources and finally break through the wall to unlock the second half of Solstice.
Another test content worth noting is Cyrodiil Champions, which ended on March 31. This is a test content launched by ESO for the overload problem that has existed in Cyrodiil’s PVP mode for many years. As one of the features of the game, this mode is completely necessary to be optimized.
In the test conducted from March 24 to 31, Cyrodiil Champions initially solved the original problem by significantly improving performance and greatly simplifying the skills and attributes of all players in Cyrodiil PVP mode. This not only means the success of the test, but also represents a milestone in the development process of the entire ESO. Even Cyrodiil Champions itself is expected to become a more mature in-game feature.
In addition, in order to fully ensure the gaming experience of different player groups, the game’s tutorials and novice areas are also being updated, and Welcome Back system will be launched this summer. ESO development team said that this will be a task-based and reward-oriented system.
In short, Elder Scrolls Online has proved to you with practical actions that they are indeed committed to developing the game better, and all you have to do is believe them and enjoy the game!

Elder Scrolls Online Pride ...
Nowadays, more and more people have access to video games, which have gradually evolved from the original entertainment and pastime to a new century art with the nature of a cultural carrier. Maybe there are old-fashioned and stubborn people who don’t think so, but this is the fact. Therefore, some games will publicly promote the ideas they support through other activities based on their own influence while designing inherent gameplay and exclusive worldviews, such as Pride Parade held by Elder Scrolls Online in previous years. What Is ESO Pride Parade? The event was first held in 2023 and was jointly initiated by game developers, some game anchors, and other supporters. The main purpose is to provide LGBTQ+ players with an anonymous parade opportunity. This event has nothing to do with your main game progress and gameplay. It is just a small-scale carnival with political and social colors in the game. However, even if you are not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you can participate in it out of support and love of excitement. Every year, Pride Parade will set different parade start times and routes in the game, and last about 45 minutes. During this period, you will see many players gathering together on the route, declaring their identities and positions by launching rainbow-colored props or other means. Can The Server Support This Activity? Although not all players will participate, the final number of people is still not to be underestimated, and there is no doubt that this puts a lot of pressure on the game server. As you know, Cyrodiil’s PVP gameplay has been stuck for a long time due to overload. The good news is that Pride Parade will divide all participants into different groups to reduce server pressure. But in fact, starting this year, ESO’s overall server carrying capacity has increased. For example, after the adjustment test of Cyrodiil Champions, the situation where you lose ESO gold due to lag in PVP mode should be reduced. Pride Parade In 2025 This year’s Pride Parade is hosted by the LGBTQIA guild Alphabet Mafia in game, which announced that the parade will start at 8:15 pm EST on Saturday, June 14, 2025, and the parade area will be Auridon in the game. If you want to participate or watch, you can gather at the first fortress signpost in the north of Auridon. The team will go south through Auridon along the main road of Vulkhel Guard and end with a beach party. There are no requirements for the parade. As long as you are friendly, you can dress your character in any way to join the parade. So you also have the opportunity to meet many interesting players! Rules Of Participation The parade has no hard and fast rules for friendly players, but as you know, whether in the real world or in the social environment of the game, the LGBTQ+ community is generally not very recognized, and there are even players who hate this niche group. Therefore, for the sake of your account security, game social experience, and server stability, if you want to participate in Pride Parade, it is best to follow the following rules: Let your character walk instead of running. If malicious players join and send unfriendly or even insulting remarks, do not argue with them, just block them and take screenshots of their remarks. Turn off the name tag and hide the user interface to ensure that the screenshots you get are clear enough. Please do not bring combat pets, as well as unnecessary non-combat pets or mounts. This parade will only be held on PC-NA server, so be careful not to make a mistake. In addition, according to the news in the relevant Discord group, Alphabet Mafia should hold other Pride events in the future-if there is no unexpected attack. The Degree Of Friendliness Seems To Be Declining Year By Year To be honest, it is not surprising at all. There are always some cisgender heterosexual players who are self-righteous, so they do not support or even attack Elder Scrolls Online Pride Parade and other related events. “Negative” and “disgusting” remarks are endless. But compared with the past, this year’s public opinion environment seems to be worse. You will find that the post announcing the event on the game sub-forum has even been closed, leaving only a bunch of deleted comments. For this reason, Alphabet Mafia, the person in charge of the parade, had to take precautions on Discord and closed all public groups where you can discuss with other parade participants to prevent bad elements from getting in. This series of measures undoubtedly killed the excitement of the event. Although Alphabet Mafia has announced that the parade will not be canceled or postponed, you may still be worried. Should ESO Hold Such Events? In fact, Pride Parade is not the only event in Elder Scrolls Online that expresses support for the LGBTQ+ community. In update 44, the game also introduced the first non-binary companion Tanlorin, which caused controversy at the time. In general, games are of course not obliged to promote such ideas, and this will inevitably offend some players who disagree, but ESO still chooses to do so. You can think they are hyping, but after all, it does not harm anyone’s interests. From a personal perspective, you can disagree with LGBTQ+ and even say goodbye to Elder Scrolls Online because of it, but insulting related players and activities is indeed unnecessary and ridiculous. Playing games is for fun, not for quarrels, right?May-29-2025

Elder Scrolls Online: Are T ...
Today, I’ll guide you through the fantastic items available from the Golden Vendor in the Elder Scrolls Online. We’ll explore whether there are any valuable event ticket items in this guide. Leveraging these vendors can serve as a lucrative gold method, potentially helping you make millions. Location When it comes to locating her, you’ll find her situated in Cyrodiil. If you’re in the Blue Team, you can spot her near The Stables within the confines of Northern High Rock Gate. If you are in the Yellow Team, she’ll be positioned towards the bank in Western Elsweyr Gate. And for those in the Red Team, she’ll be stationed in Southern Morrowind Gate. Golden Vendor Items Let's take a look at the offerings from the Golden Vendor and pick some of them for gold. As usual, she's selling some monster pieces and jewelry. Jewelry When it comes to the jewelry, the Queen's Elegance set isn't particularly impressive but if you're building a heavy attack-focused character and lack of combs, this set might provide some utility. It grants a power boost upon using a fully charged heavy attack, allowing for repeated use. Still, there are better options available for heavy attack builds, so I'd suggest skipping this one. Moving on to the Heirloom Necklace, it's not eye-catching, but it's not completely lackluster either. Positioned somewhere in the middle, it offers some stamina sustain for healers in PvE. It's a viable choice if you're looking to enhance group stamina recovery. I recommend acquiring one and invest ESO Gold in it. This purchase allows for experimentation and fine-tuning on the healer character. The next item you have for jewelry is the Unleashed Amulet, part of the Unleashed Terror set. This used to be really good, but it's been nerfed quite a bit now. It's not terrible for a DoT version, and worth getting this if you want to fill up your Sticker Book. But it’s not really worth using unless you go for a super DoT build. Monster Pieces Let's talk about the Lady Thorn set. The Lady Thorn comes from a DLC dungeon, making it a potential acquisition if you're seeking DLC sets. However, its performance is rather middling. You can grab it solely to fill out the Sticker Book, saving the hassle of revisiting the dungeon. Let's then discuss the Slimeclaw. Slimeclaw stands out as an excellent choice, particularly for PvE content. If you frequently play stamina characters, having one piece of Slimeclaw in your setup is quite common. Therefore, I highly recommend acquiring this item. While it's possible to farm it, keep in mind that as a shoulder piece, you'll need to use keys, which introduce an element of chance into the process. Nonetheless, given its effectiveness, I suggest purchasing at least one of these. In PvP scenarios, its performance isn't exceptional, as there are superior monster sets available. However, for PvE enthusiasts, Slimeclaw is definitely worth adding to your collection. Infinite Archive Now, let’s go to the Infinite Archive and see if there are any good leads there. The Infinite Archive can sell leads for certain Mythic Items or antiquities, and some of those antiquities can be quite annoying to farm, especially the ones tied to daily quests. Both leads are really hard to get, so it’s always worth checking it out. The trader in Infinite Archive is located in the Far East, and he’s called Filur. Filur sells two leads typically, and then some decoration bits. This week, he has a blue furniture and a gold lead for the Dwarven Hinges. My recommendation would be to save your resources for this week.Apr-26-2024

Elder Scrolls Online: How T ...
The much-anticipated Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road finally released today on PC and Mac! In the new Chapter, you’ll have more opportunities to get a new free manor and decorate it. But many first-time Tamriel Homeowners are still wondering: what can a house do, exactly? There are many benefits to owning a house, but the most obvious use is to decorate it! If you already love customizing items in RPGs, then you’ll have a ton of fun with Housing system. In this guide, we’ll go over where to get furniture, as well as some decorating tips. Benefits Of Owning A House Before we get started, let’s take a look at the beneficial uses of owning a house. Fast Travel Houses can act as fast travel locations. Any house you own can act as a Wayshrine, which you can travel to for free from anywhere using the world map. You can even choose to spawn inside or outside a house if you just want to get into town quickly. Every house you own, and the furniture you place in it, is shared among all characters on your account, meaning you can own as many houses as you want. Once you own a house, it’s added to your collection, so you can even go to it with a list of houses you’ve collected! Improve Social Interaction There are also a lot of social elements for housing. For those who enjoy the social aspect of the game or are creative, the options are endless, such as building Mazes, Escape Rooms or Puzzles. There are even guilds dedicated to housing, which encourage you through competitions and creativity, and give you the opportunity to earn extra ESO Gold during the decoration process. In order to invite others to your house, make sure you check your permissions and enable certain guilds or friends as guests. Houses are locked by default. Once permissions are unlocked, you can send a direct link to your house via mail or text chat. You can also set a house as your Primary Residence. This way, people with the appropriate permissions can visit the house using your name on the social menu, regardless of your online status. However, please note that you can only have 1 Primary Residence. If you want to decorate one of your houses with a friend, or even hire someone to decorate a house for you, you can enable the decorator rights for certain people. You need to place the furniture, but they can move every piece of furniture. Be careful not to grant full decorator rights to anyone you don’t fully trust. No one can take your furniture, but they can destroy what you’ve built or make it hard to find. If this does happen, or you just can’t find a piece of furniture, you can use Retrieve menu to mark its location and find it, or just put it back in your inventory. Storage Coffers & Chests Available One of the best reasons to have an in-game house is to have a place to place and use Storage Coffers and Storage Chests. There are 4 large chests and 4 small coffers available. Each large chest can hold 60 items, and the small coffer can hold 30 items, which is equivalent to adding 360 inventory slots to your account. These Storage Chests are added to your collection as you unlock them, so all of your characters can use them, and you can place them in multiple houses at the same time. You’ll unlock one coffer from Level Up Advisor after reaching level 18, and the rest can be redeemed with Master Crafting Writ Vouchers, Tel Var in Imperial City, or with Crowns. However, I would recommend using the in-game method. You can name containers to help categorize items. I use 3 chests to store survey maps and label them for quick storage and categorization. These chests, and the items you put in them, are only accessible to you. Crafting Tables You can also place each Crafting Table in your home. Of course, using Master Crafting Writ Vouchers, or mining through Antiquities, is also a good way to get them. You can go a step further and try Attunable Crafting Tables. This can be used at Overland Set crafting locations to add nearby set bonuses to a crafting table and bring them home. This is especially useful if you want to access sets from DLC areas that you can’t normally access. Assuming you have temporary access to High Isle through ESO Plus trial, you can use these Attunable Tables to replicate Order’s Wrath crafting stations, and you can still craft the set bonus after the trial ends. Houseguests Houseguests are collectible furniture that can be placed in all of your homes. Some of these can be obtained from Crown Store, but others can be obtained in-game. Since they are account-wide collectibles, they can be placed in multiple houses at once, and all of your visitors can talk to them. You can place them on a path if you want to make your home feel more lived in. You can even decorate the house with your mounts and pets. Merchants, bankers and deconstruction assistants can also be added to your house for everyone to use. All of these have been Crown items so far, but they are definitely worth getting if you have Crown. How To Get More Furniture? Now that we’ve gone over the useful uses of a house, let’s get back to decorating. Furniture and decorations can come from many places, but as always, there is a Crown option under Purchase tab in Housing Editor. Crown Option If you do use Crown option, it’s important to understand that these items are tied to your account. If you use a Crown to acquire an already decorated house, those furniture items will also be tied. This tab contains over 5000 pieces of furniture in the game. Even if you don’t plan on acquiring anything with a Crown, it can be a useful tool to help you determine exactly what furniture style and items you’re looking for. ESO Plus Benefits Also note that as part of ESO Plus your furniture limits are doubled, but if you fully renovate your house and lose your membership, the items you placed will stay where you left them. However, if you pick up and move an item after your membership ends, you won’t be able to place it again without increasing your furniture limits. As an ESO Plus member, you can expect to get a free piece of furniture in Crown Store every month to add to your collection. Antiquity Furnishings If you have access to Greymoor, Antiquity system is worth upgrading to get mythic items, and you can also mine a lot of wonderful furniture from leads. It’s important to note that furniture obtained through Scrying is bound when picked up, so you can’t sell them to other players. But there’s a lot of cool and sometimes large furniture here. Crafting Furniture You can craft new furniture by acquiring Furniture Plans, and making items yourself using your existing crafting skills and crafting tables. Furniture Plans can be found on chests, desks, backpacks, wardrobes, cabinets, trunks, nightstands, and urns. Different areas can drop different plans. You can also get plans and furniture from daily quests in each area, fishing, or running Infinite Archive. Of course, don’t forget to check Guild Traders. Other players may be selling plans and furniture you didn’t even know existed. While the cooldown for finding Furniture Plans has never been confirmed, the community believes that there is a cooldown window of up to 30 minutes after picking up a purple plan, during which you can’t pick up another one. How To Decorate Your House? Once you enter a house and enter build mode, you can place furniture from your inventory, house storage chests, collection and bank. Lock Position You can lock their position so that they automatically snap to surfaces, or move and place them freely. Link Items With free placement, you can even stack items together to build custom furniture. When you stack furniture on top of each other, it may seem cumbersome to move each item, but you can link their positions together to move them as one. You can choose an item as a parent, such as a table, and then link everything on the table together. Block Off Unfinished Areas You can also block off areas of your house that are not yet finished using wall or rock furnishings. Since small furnishing limits in extensive areas, it is also beneficial to block off areas you don’t want to decorate, so that you can invest the vast majority of your ESO Gold budget in areas you care about. Use Furniture In Different Ways Conversely, you can use stairs and floors to access areas of your house that you wouldn’t normally go to. You can even place items in the scenery around your house if you want to improve your vision. You can also flip furniture to use it in different ways, such as the underside of these Coldharbour rocks with a void effect, or the underside of Morrowind table map. Final Thoughts Houses are one of the most customizable parts of ESO Gold Road. There is no right or wrong way to decorate, and the options are endless. I hope this guide has given you some new house ideas, long-term goals worth working towards, or just helped you see the benefits of using them. Good luck!Jun-02-2024

Enhancing Your Elder Scroll ...
The Elder Scrolls Online offers a vast and immersive world filled with endless possibilities. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to the game, there are always ways to enhance your gameplay experience. In this guide, we'll explore three essential tips to improve your journey in Tamriel. We'll cover the importance of tutorials, the Endeavors system, and the significance of Mundus Stones. Get ready to level up your Elder Scrolls Online adventure! 1. Embrace the Tutorials: Tutorials are an integral part of any game, and Elder Scrolls Online is no exception. Don't overlook the valuable information and guidance provided by the game's tutorials. They offer essential insights into various aspects of gameplay, including combat mechanics, crafting systems, and character progression. Taking the time to understand these mechanics will significantly improve your overall experience and ensure you make the most of your character's potential. 2. Engage with the Endeavors System: The Endeavors system is a fantastic addition to Elder Scrolls Online, offering daily and weekly challenges that reward you with experience points, gold, and other valuable resources. These challenges range from completing specific activities, such as defeating bosses or gathering resources, to exploring different zones or participating in PvP battles. Engaging with the Endeavors system not only provides you with additional goals to pursue but also helps you progress your character and earn rewards efficiently. 3. Harness the Power of Mundus Stones: Mundus Stones are powerful objects scattered throughout Tamriel that grant significant boons to your character. Each stone bestows a unique passive effect, such as increased critical damage, enhanced health regeneration, or improved stamina recovery. To benefit from these buffs, you must activate a Mundus Stone by simply interacting with it. Carefully choose a stone that complements your character's playstyle and desired attributes. Remember that you can change the effect by interacting with a different Mundus Stone, but the process involves a cooldown period. Exploring the world to discover and utilize Mundus Stones will greatly enhance your character's effectiveness in combat and overall survivability. Bonus Tip: Join a Guild and Interact with the Community: While not directly related to tutorials, the Endeavors system, or Mundus Stones, joining a guild and interacting with the Elder Scrolls Online community can greatly enrich your gameplay experience. Guilds provide opportunities for group activities, such as dungeon runs, PvP battles, and trading. They also serve as a valuable resource for guidance, advice, and camaraderie. Interacting with fellow players can lead to new friendships, shared knowledge, and memorable adventures within the vast world of Tamriel. By embracing tutorials, engaging with the Endeavors system, and harnessing the power of Mundus Stones, you can significantly enhance your Elder Scrolls Online experience. Don't underestimate the value of tutorials, as they lay the foundation for a successful journey. The Endeavors system provides additional challenges and rewards, keeping you engaged and motivated. Finally, leveraging the power of Mundus Stones will empower your character and boost their capabilities. Remember to also join a guild and interact with the vibrant community to forge lasting friendships and create unforgettable moments in the world of Tamriel.Jun-06-2023
