Elder Scrolls Online Update 46 New Map, DLC And Main Story: What To Expect?

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. After seeing this preview of the changes, you will definitely feel more confident and interested in the future of ESO.

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. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to defeat the dremora Kothutuilk and return the stolen energy to Galerion, who will then help you dismantle Great Shackle, completing the quest. 7. Harvest Heart After Vanus Galerion has successfully taken over Chasm region, he’ll assign you another quest to take on vampires. To do this, you’ll enter Molag Bal’s realm and face off against his infamous Harvest Hearts. Vanus believes that the best way to deal with vampires is to defeat them and mark their sanctuaries with your own blood. Completing each of these quests will reward you with Elder Scrolls Online Gold and a lot of XP, as well as some specific game items, which is a great deal. Of course, these are not all the side quests in ESO. You can enter iGMeet Discord to communicate with other players about how to complete other side quests. In addition, the giveaway channel here will also distribute prizes regularly, so remember to join and check it out in time!

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!

Today, I'm going to take a deep dive into some of the must-have gear for healers and reveal some Mythic items that promise to change your gameplay in Elder Scrolls Online. From increasing team utility to increase survivability, increasing mobility, and even providing valuable experience boosts. Let's get started! Pearls Of Ehlnofey First up, we have the Pearls of Ehlnofey from the Greymoor DLC. When your dominant resource drops below 50% while trying to cast a healing ability, you instantly gain 3 Ultimate abilities. This Mythic item is crucial for any endgame PvE healer as you can generate ultimate very quickly and therefore provide more offensive or defensive ultimates during the fight. It is a significant change when combined with Pillager's Profit, Master Architect, or Saxhleel Champion, as it helps to maximize the effectiveness of those sets. Ring Of The Wild Hunt We can then pick up the Ring of the Wild Hunt from the Greymoor DLC, which is another fantastic find. This ring boosts your movement speed by 15% in combat and a whopping 45% out of combat. Additionally, you can also invest in some ESO Gold to help you if necessary. This is a perfect tool for those of you to scry for leads that will lead you to excavation sites where you can find items or fragments of them and it comes in handy for your daily activities such as raids, surveys, questing, and resource gathering. Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet Next, we have the Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet from the Necrom DLC. The Velothi Ur-Mage's Amulet enhances your effectiveness against monsters by 15%, grants you minor force to boost your critical damage by 10%, and adds 1650 offensive penetration. However, it severely reduces your light and heavy attack damage by 99%. This set is a very powerful choice for AoE fights, and as supports, we often find ourselves farming yet another set lead or resource and we need a damage setup for farming. Having the amulet allows you to make such a setup and farm with ease. Spaulder Of Ruin Coming next is the Spaulder of Ruin from the Deadlands DLC. Spear features a unique mechanic that toggles a 12 meter Aura of Pride when you crouch. This aura increases weapon and spell damage by 260 for up to 6 group members, though it also reduces your recoveries by 70 for each affected target. It's a potent support choice for healers who can manage their resources well and offer a higher weapon and spell damage boost than some of the 5 pieces. For example, the Pearlescent Ward. Note that you do not have to stay crouched for the Aura of Pride to remain active. Mora's Whispers The next one is the Mora's Whispers from the High Isle DLC. Gain up to 1528 critical chance and a 10% increased Inspiration, Alliance Rank, Alliance Skill, and 15% monster kill experience based on how many books of Shalidor's Library have been collected. The Shalidor's Library books are the books that you collect for your major Guild skill-line. Since healers often find themselves needing both healing damage and even Tank Champion Point slottable, having extra Champion Point comes in handy. With this ring, you will grind Champion Point much quicker and spend valuable time you saved in raiding. Oakensoul Ring Another Mythic item from the High Isle DLC that I want to cover is the Oakensoul Ring. It restricts you from swapping weapon sets, meaning it forces you into a single bar build and compensates by providing a plethora of major and minor buffs, such as Minor Heroism, Minor Force, Major Resolve, Minor Protection, and more. It is a powerful combination of buffs in scenarios where you do not have raid buffs available, making it a perfect option for a simple and effective setup for solo or dungeon farming. Conclusion This wraps up the essential Mythic items for healers in Elder Scrolls Online. These items offer unique benefits that can greatly influence your role and effectiveness as a healer. Unlocking these items involves diving into the rich content provided by the Antiquities system, and obtaining them could be a fun activity in its own right.
