How Strong are the Arcanist Ultimates in ESO Necrom?
Today we'll show the three new Ultimate abilities coming with the Arcanist class in ESO Necrom.
Like all classes, the Arcanist has three skill lines, each one including an Ultimate ability that has a basic version and two morphs.
The Unblinking Eye Ultimate
The Unblinking Eye is the ultimate ability in the Herald of the Tome skill line, the DPS focused skill line of the Arcanist Class. This ultimate summons a Watcher above your head that will deal heavy damage in a small AOE with its beam attack. Its two morphs are The Languid Eye and The Tide King's Gaze.
The Languid Eye is the strongest morph in terms of its damage output - while it has a shorter duration than the other morph, this is more than made up for because its damage value increases 7% each tick (it ticks every 0.5 seconds for 6 seconds).
The total damage output from this skill is quite similar to Elemental Storm, a commonly used ultimate for DPS characters. It also costs less ultimate to cast, 200 instead of 250, however the radius is smaller. So using this as your main DPS ultimate is definitely viable.
On the other hand, The Tide King's Gaze deals less damage but lasts for 8 seconds instead of 6, and it also automatically follows your target wherever they go, rather than needing to be manually retargeted. This makes it more suited to PvP situations as it prevents your opponent from avoiding the damage.
Gibbering Shield
Gibbering Shield is the Apocryphal Soldier ultimate, and like the entire skill line it is focused on mitigating damage, making it ideal for a tank. This skill gives you a strong health-scaled damage shield for 10 seconds, which will reflect all absorbed damage to nearby enemies as an AOE DoT when it expires or is broken. This damage reflection is spread out over another 10 seconds.
The first morph of this ultimate is Gibbering Shelter, which removes the damage reflection but instead grants up to six allies a fairly strong damage shield whenever your shield absorbs damage. This is definitely the best option if you're tanking a dungeon or trial with a group, the shields you give to your allies will help to keep them alive during tough parts of the fight. However you honestly might be better off just using Barrier if you want a good shield ultimate for your team.
The other morph is Sanctum of the Abyssal Sea which just gives you a somewhat stronger shield compared to the unmorphed version, which also has the side-effect of slightly increasing the amount of damage you can reflect. While this damage reflection might sound good on paper, it's generally not that helpful in PvE
, and in PvP opponents can pretty easily move away from you to avoid the damage.
This skill is a nice idea on paper but in most situations it really doesn't feel strong enough to compete with existing skills.
Vitalizing Glyphic
Vitalizing Glyphic is the ultimate from the Curative Runeforms skill line, focused on healing and buffing yourself and allies. It's a pretty unusual skill in terms of how it works - it summons a glyphic which pulses every second, healing nearby friends and increasing their weapon & spell damage. Healing the Glyphic increases the effect.
Glyphic of the Tides is the first morph of this skill, which just causes the Glyphic to spawn at a higher health percentage than the original. Healing the glyphic isn't that hard so this is only a minor buff. The skill's effect in general though is pretty interesting - having an Arcanist in your group drop this into the group gives us another new way to buff the damage output of DPS players, which basically gives us another skill to use in optimized raids besides Aggressive Horn and Frozen Colossus. Arcanist healers definitely have something new to bring to the table thanks to this ultimate, and that's great.
The other morph, Resonating Glyphic, has the same effect but instead gets stronger the lower its health is. This might be preferred if you don't have a healer in your group or if you're playing solo - you can pretty easily get the Glyphic down to 0% health with some AOE effects, which will maximise the effect of the buff and heal.
This ultimate is definitely going to bring something new to the table for optimised groups in PvE, and probably PvP too. It will be interesting to see if this finds a place in the meta or if it will just be an interesting off-meta option.

Elder Scrolls Online Update ...
Elder Scrolls series, with its fascinating story and highly free gameplay, once became the benchmark for open world games, and until 2025, this series still has a large number of loyal fans. Although Elder Scrolls 4 and 5 are very good, they only show players a small part of the world. Elder Scrolls Online continues to improve this world with continuous updates. The update 46 of Elder Scrolls Online will arrive. There is no doubt that this will be a major update. A lot of content will be announced in Elder Scrolls Online 2025 Direct. At that time, players will learn more about the new direction of Elder Scrolls Online, new features and modes, details of quarterly updates, and other things to look forward to. April In Elder Scrolls Online April will be very busy for Elder Scrolls Online, with various activities, rewards, the prologue quest of Update 46, 11th anniversary event, and the big Elder Scrolls Online Direct. The team has a roadmap for April with all the big events: April 10: Elder Scrolls Online Direct and Update 46 Prologue April 3-22: Elder Scrolls Online 11th Anniversary Event April 3-23: Elder Scrolls Online Golden Pursuits (including 3 Hero Sets) April 24-29: In-Game Bonus You can claim your daily login bonus starting April 1st, plus there are a number of bonuses to claim, including the new custom operation Murkmire Harvest! You can earn XP, new gear, and Elder Scrolls Online Gold in the next update! In addition, Fallen Banners dungeon DLC, which was coming to update 45, will also be introduced a new way to get it in the April 10th livestream. The update 46 prologue mission is expected on April 11th, when Kinda Funny Games partners will also launch its first episode, and another weekend of battlefield domination will be launched at the end of the month. Both streams will have Twitch Drops enabled, so you can link your account to Twitch while watching. Watch for more than 15 minutes to get 150% experience and a code for the 10th anniversary monkey as an in-game pet. What’s New In Update 46? DLC Reddit user DistanceFar7287 claims that next DLC is called Punished Dumac: A Dwemer’s Revenge. The DLC is about King Dumac Orc who survived the rampage of Dwemer. He created special Dwemer hormones that caused Nerevar to hallucinate and eventually killed him. He then came back from another dimension and he intends to take revenge on Chimer/Dunmer. The authenticity of this news remains to be verified. Although he showed a picture as evidence, the above description still has some loopholes. However, if this news is true, then players may find gold in the dungeons of the new DLC and also get new Dwemer equipment. New Area From the leaked pictures, this update will include a new area. This new area has many high elf buildings, and there are many Argonians running around in it, which is a bit strange. You know that high elves are notorious racists in Elder Scrolls, and Argonians are at the bottom. It is almost impossible for high elves to stay with Argonians, and therefore there is reason to suspect that this area is an area abandoned by high elves, and Argonians occupied this area after they left. This area will be a raid that can accommodate 12 people. You need to fight dangerous monsters and new bosses to win new rewards. Maybe it will include some high elf equipment and gold. Main Story The main story will also be promoted after the update of Update 46. Three heroes return in the trailer, and they basically represent different classes of players. The theme of Update 46 may be Seasons of the Worm Cult. Yes, this infamous cult is back again. Their secret weapon is the power of the dead, and you need to thwart their conspiracy against the entire Tamriel. You need to track down the returning worm cult. Players go to Eastmarch and find a hidden fortress where you will meet a necromancer. Then explore an island that has never been seen before. Explore the ancient Argonian ruins and find the power to end it all before Worm Cult brings destruction. In any case, I am glad that the main story is finally moving forward. The developers will launch a new chapter based on the previous story, which will bring some changes to the entire Tamriel. In addition, it is revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be announced at the Summer Game Festival in 2025. Although I don’t think that The Elder Scrolls 6 can be released in 2025, it is still exciting. Elder Scrolls Online and Elder Scrolls series share a worldview, and this update of Elder Scrolls Online may have an impact on the background story of The Elder Scrolls 6.Apr-08-2025

Elder Scrolls Online: How T ...
In the background story of Elder Scrolls Online, Tel Var Stones are Esoteric fragments of White-Gold Tower found in the corrupted Imperial City. It is used as a currency, mainly used to exchange gear, crafting materials and other items in Imperial City. So, how can you get Tel Var Stones in ESO, and how can you use them? This article may provide you with some reference. How To Get Tel Var Stones? Like Elder Scrolls Online Gold, Tel Var Stones can be deposited into your bank for you to use later. Tel Var Stones mainly come from Imperial City, and you can also get it by claiming daily rewards or killing other players. Here are the detailed ways to get Tel Var Stones. Daily Login Rewards You can log in to ESO every day to claim a certain number of Tel Var Stones. Of course, if you want to use Tel Var Stones to exchange for some good Elder Scrolls Online Items, it is obviously not enough to rely on daily login rewards. You also need to participate in battles. Defeat Imperial City Bosses In Imperial City, Tel Var Stones are mainly dropped from enemy monsters, and the drop amount is often a multiple of four. Therefore, if you want to farm Tel Var Stones in Imperial City, it is recommended that you form a team of 4 or less, and the team members will share Tel Var Stones equally. Before going to Imperial City to start the battle, remember to flip Imperial City flags, which will increase your Tel Var Stones income. Strong enemies will drop more Stones. Tel Var Stones are mainly obtained by killing Patrolling Horror Bosses in the city. Each district of Imperial City has a boss, and they respawn every 15 minutes. If you fight alone, you can get 5,000 to 8,000 Tel Var Stones per boss you defeat, and you can farm them by running around and killing them repeatedly. Besides killing bosses, you can also get a small amount of Tel Var Stones by killing ordinary NPCs. After completing the quest in Imperial City, you will receive Light Tel Var Satchel, Medium Tel Var Sack, or Hefty Tel Var Crate as a reward. Killing NPCs In Imperial City Sewers You can also get Tel Var Stones by finding and defeating NPCs you can see in Imperial City sewers. Keep an eye out for Cunning Scamps, which can get a lot of Tel Var Stones. Farming Tel Var Stones this way is slower than killing bosses directly, and ordinary NPCs don’t drop as many Tel Var Stones as bosses, but it is relatively safer. Killing Other Players In Imperial City This method is more of a test of your PVP skills. In Imperial City, you can get Tel Var Stones by killing other ESO players. Every time you defeat a player, half of his Tel Var Stones will be divided between you and all your teammates who participated in the kill. Of course, this rule also applies to you. If you die, you will lose half of your Tel Var Stones. You will not lose a Stone if you die in the two Group Dungeons in the city or outside Imperial City. So when you are in Imperial City, please be vigilant! Make Good Use Of Tel Var Stones Multiplier Carrying a lot of Tel Var Stones in Imperial City can gain a multiplier. The higher Tel Var Stones multiplier, the more Tel Var Stones you will get when you kill monsters. However, as mentioned above, once you die, you will lose half of your Tel Var Stones. The specific relationship between the number of stones you carry and the multiplier is as follows: Carry 100 Stones: x2 Carry 1,000 Stones: x3 Carry 10,000 Stones: x4 The more Tel Var Stones you carry, the greater the benefits, but the risk also increases. You can decide the number of stones you carry based on your ability, which will help you get more Tel Var Stones faster. What Can You Exchange With Tel Var Stones? You can use Tel Var Stones to trade with Vendors for ESO Items you need, such as gear sets, collectible items, unique runestones, or crafting materials. You can use Tel Var Stones to exchange items at various merchants. The following introduces the three main merchants. Tel Var General Merchant Trading with Tel Var General Merchant is the main way to consume Tel Var Stones. You can use Tel Var Stones to exchange for almost all materials that can be used in Imperial City, including Soul Gems and Sigil of Imperial Retreat, at Tel Var General Merchant. In addition, you can also exchange for crafting materials such as Hakeijo. Tel Var Equipment Lockbox Merchant You can exchange for some random gear set items at Tel Var Equipment Lockbox Merchant. However, the quality of the equipment you get is not guaranteed, it all depends on your luck. Tel Var Jewelry Merchant You can exchange for some golden jewellery items in Imperial City gear sets at Tel Var Jewelry Merchant. That’s all about Tel Var Stones in Elder Scrolls Online. Taking an efficient approach to farming Tel Var Stones will help you quickly exchange for the items you need.

Elder Scrolls Online: A Bri ...
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!Apr-16-2024
