Online:Patch/2.6.0

Released on August 31 2016.

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v2.6.0, featuring One Tamriel! This update opens up the world of Tamriel for you to explore any time, and play with your friends no matter what level you are. Due to the significant changes One Tamriel brings to ESO, we've adjusted much of the current content and systems.

In this update, you'll find that we've made Craglorn more solo-friendly, added Normal and Veteran modes for all 4-player dungeons, re-designed the Undaunted Pledge system, added new world bosses, and made some fairly sizeable itemization changes and updates – you'll definitely want to check out all the details below.

In addition to One Tamriel, we've also added dueling, Weapon Ultimates, and added new daily quests. We've also added 16 new Monster Masks, and raised the Champion Point cap by 30 points. As with previous updates, we've also implemented many fixes and improvements to previous DLC game packs and the base game patch. Please note that the recently-announced Crown Crates will be available to test in a future PTS incremental patch.

We can't wait to hear what you think of this update, all of which will be free for all players and is approximately 3.81GB in size. Enjoy!

One Tamriel[edit]

Game content in ESO is no longer gated by your character's level!

Right out of the tutorial you'll have the freedom to go anywhere in Tamriel and play any content, in any order, just like other Elder Scrolls games. Your character will automatically scale and balance to the content.
The alliance restrictions have been lifted in all open-world zones, with the exception of PvP areas.
High-level players will be able to group with friends who are new to ESO; anyone below Champion 160 will scale so everyone can adventure together.
Every zone has been modified to add world bosses and ensure a mixture of content for solo and group play is available.

Craglorn[edit]

Craglorn has been re-designed so not all content will require a group to play.

The main story quests are now balanced for one player, and the remaining group content can be completed with as little as two players.
The group-number restrictions on all quests or doors have been removed.
- Because of the significant changes, you will be able to complete all the quests in Craglorn even if you've done them once before.
Be sure to try your hand at the group delves to find new rewards, or take on one of the world events with a full group for new achievements!
Just like the rest of Tamriel, you can expect to find updated loot throughout the quests, delves, and bosses in Craglorn. See the itemization section below for more details.

Dungeons[edit]

There are lots of changes for Dungeons with this update! Read on to see what adventure awaits for those wanting to delve into the darkest reaches of Nirn and beyond.

All Dungeons now have both a Normal and Veteran modes.
Previous Dungeons which had a unique Veteran mode have been converted to Version I and II; each version now has a Normal and Veteran mode.
- Example: Fungal Grotto will now be known as Fungal Grotto I and Fungal Grotto II.
Each Veteran dungeon now contains a Monster Mask and Shoulder set.
- Monster Masks will drop 100% of the time from the final boss in Veteran mode.
- Shoulder sets are acquired via Pledge keys (details are outlined in the next section below).
All Veteran versions of Dungeons have a way to activate a harder difficulty for the final boss, activated by the Scroll of Glorious Battle found in the final boss' room.

Undaunted Pledges[edit]

We have redesigned the Pledge system to offer more rewards more often, and at a predictable rate.

There is no longer a Bronze, Silver and Gold key. All keys have been converted Undaunted Keys and reward a Shoulder set piece with each use.
There are now three pledge givers for Undaunted Dungeon quests, with each offering a unique Pledge each day. They also have a corresponding chest which, when an Undaunted Key is used, will offer a Shoulder set piece from one of the Dungeon Pledges they offer.
- Maj al-Ragath offers a random Pledge for the following Dungeons:
  - Banished Cells I & II
  - Darkshade Caverns I & II
  - Elden Hollow I & II
  - Fungal Grotto I & II
  - Spindleclutch I & II
  - Wayrest Sewers I & II
- Gilirion the Redbeard offers a random Pledge for the following Dungeons:
  - Arx Corinium
  - Blackheart Haven
  - Blessed Crucible
  - City of Ash I & II
  - Crypt of Hearts I & II
  - Direfrost
  - Selene's Web
  - Tempest Island
  - Vaults of Madness
  - Volenfell
- Urgalarg Chief-bane offers a random Pledge for the following Dungeons:
  - Cradle of Shadows
  - Imperial City Prison
  - Ruins of Mazzatun
  - White-Gold Tower
Each pledge can be completed in one of three ways for a total of up to six keys per day.
- Normal Dungeon: Completing a Pledge in a Normal version of the dungeon awards a single Undaunted Key.
- Veteran Dungeon: Completing a Pledge in a Veteran version of the dungeon awards a single Undaunted Key, but completing Veteran versions of the Dungeon are also the only way to get the Undaunted Monster Masks.
- Veteran Hard Mode: Completing a Pledge in a Veteran version of the dungeon after the final boss has been made more difficult will award two Undaunted Keys, in addition to awarding the Monster Mask from completing a Veteran Dungeon.
- All previous dungeons that did not have a Hard Mode have been given a way to activate a mode that makes the final boss more difficult in the Veteran version, activated by the Scroll of Glorious Battle found in the final boss' room.

Itemization Changes[edit]

In order to support One Tamriel which allows you to go anywhere, we needed to make several significant changes to itemization and item sets. In general, each zone and dungeon in the game will now drop 3 sets – one for light, medium, and heavy armor – and all set drops in the game will scale up to CP160.

Item Sets will now drop for every item slot.
- This excludes the Agility, Endurance, and Willpower jewelry sets.
- Sets that grant a bonus to melee damage will now drop more intelligently (i.e. a set with melee damage will no longer drop with a bow or stave).
Helms and shoulders can now drop at all levels.
All set drops have a chance to be green, blue, or purple quality.
- The chance of receiving blue and purple quality items increases as you gain more levels.
All set drops from the overland are now bind-on-equip.
All set drops from dungeons and Trials are bind-on-pickup.
Dungeon bosses and mini bosses will now drop a set piece 100% of the time.
- Mini bosses will drop either a hand, waist, or feet set piece.
- Bosses will drop either a chest, shoulder, head or leg set piece.
- The final Boss of a dungeon will drop weapons or jewelry.
  - Normal mode dungeon bosses will drop blue-quality items.
  - Veteran mode dungeon bosses will drop purple-quality items.
- Agility, Willpower, and Endurance sets no longer drop from dungeon bosses. They are now rewarded upon completing a random dungeon using the Grouping Tool.
  - Note: These sets can still be found in the Cache chests in Imperial City.
- All dungeon set drops are bind-on-pickup.
Non-Dungeon Bosses
- We dramatically increased the chance for Delve bosses to drop a waist or feet set piece from the zone they are located in.
- Each boss also has a small chance to drop a unique set piece.
- Overland group bosses have a 100% chance to drop head, chest, legs, or weapon set piece from the zone they are located in.
- Public dungeon bosses have a much higher chance to drop a shoulder, hand, or weapon set piece from the zone they are located in.
Trials
- Mobs and bosses in Normal mode will drop blue-quality gear.
- Mobs and bosses in Veteran mode will drop purple-quality gear.
- The last boss on Veteran Hard Mode will drop gold-quality jewelry.
- Hard Modes all contain an item worth 10,000 gold which can only be acquired once every 5 days.
Treasure Chests
- Treasure Chests gained from defeating a Dark Anchor have a 100% chance to drop a ring or amulet set piece form the zone they are located in.
  - The above is also true of Unstable Anomalies found in Craglorn.
- Treasure chests found in the world have a chance to grant any set piece that can drop in that zone.
  - Simple chests have a slight chance of dropping an item set piece.
  - Intermediate chests have a good chance of dropping an item set piece
  - Advanced and Master chests have a guaranteed chance of dropping an item set piece.
- If you have the Treasure Hunter Champion Passive, both the above chances and quality of an item will be improved.
- Treasure chests found from a Treasure Map have a guaranteed chance to drop one random set piece that can drop in that zone.
- Higher difficulty chests have a better chance of spawning in the world, but easier chests will continue to be more common.
- The loot from the CE Treasure Chest maps now scale to your level up to CP160.
Quests
- Major quests have been updated to reward a green or blue-quality set piece.
- Minor quests will continue to reward non-item green-quality set pieces.
Regular monsters throughout Tamriel have a small chance of dropping any item set piece that can drop in that zone.
Adhazabi Aba-daro the Golden, the rare goods vendor in Cyrodiil, has been updated to include the new Monster Masks and gold-quality jewelry.
You now have a better chance of getting more valuable or useful items from Thieves Troves as your rank in the Thieves Guild increases.
Treasure maps found in any zone may now direct you to any overland zone.

We've added 30 Item Sets to drop in Overland zones and Dungeons, with the full list of names for the new sets below.

Many drop locations for Item Sets have been changed. Below are the locations for all existing and new Item Sets (generally listed in Light/Medium/Heavy order when applicable).

UI[edit]

The introduction of One Tamriel has brought upon a number of significant UI changes that we want to call out below.

Removed a monster's level from the target frame since every monster essentially has the same level through One Tamriel.
Quest givers offering repeatable quests now have a different colored icon over their head to help differentiate those quests from non-repeatable quests.
Updated quest messaging to help differentiate between group quests located inside and outside of dungeons.
Updated zone messaging to help differentiate between Dungeons, Group Delves, and other group areas.

Achievements[edit]

Added 110 new dungeon achievements to support the new Normal and Veteran difficulties being added to the existing dungeons.
- To account for the huge number of Veteran Dungeon achievements added in this update, we've moved the Veteran Dungeon achievements to their own category in the achievements menu. This new category includes sub-categories for general achievements, Death Challenges, Slayer Challenges, Survivor Challenges, and Speed Challenges.
- We've also reordered the Dungeon and Veteran Dungeon achievements, so that achievements within a sub-category are grouped by dungeon and listed in the order they are most likely to be discovered in, instead of alphabetically.
Added 3 achievements for completing all of the Magical Anomalies, Anka-Ra Sites, and Iron Orc Nirncrux Mines in Craglorn.
Added 3 new achievement lines for completing 1 / 10 / 30 of the new daily quests for Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, and Undaunted Delve dailies.
- Completing these achievements awards a small amount of reputation for the associated skill line.
We've updated the Undaunted pledge achievements to account for changes to the pledges themselves:
- The achievements for completing Pledges from Maj al-Ragath and Glirion the Redbeard are no longer difficulty specific.
- Added a line of achievements for completing Pledges from the new pledge giver, Urgarlag Chief-Bane.

Motifs and Recipes[edit]

Updated the way Provisioning recipes drop as follows:
- Recipes in Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Dungeons now drop based on your rank in the Recipe Improvement passive.
- In other zones, recipes drop based on your passive rank 75% of the time, and the rest of the time drop the same way they dropped prior to One Tamriel, by zone.
Crafting Motifs which were previously only available in the Silver and Gold versions of alliance content are now available throughout the world.
Daedra Hearts are now an uncommon drop from humanoid Daedra.
Argentum, Copper, and Palladium style items can now be found in treasure chests.

Justice System[edit]

Legerdemain now influences the quality of loot obtained from Justice activities.

Higher skill ranks in Legerdemain provide a better chance to "find" higher quality items.
This replaces the previous approach of higher level zones having a higher chance to obtain higher quality items.
Similarly, the overall value of items from Thieves Troves is now based on your rank in the Thieves Guild skill line, with a higher rank providing an increased chance for more and higher quality items.

Crafting & Harvesting[edit]

Survey Reports received from Crafting Writs may now send you to any zone throughout the world.
You may now pick up Crafting Writs from Writ Boards outside your home alliance.
- Note: Deliveries sites are still determined by your original alliance.
When opening a Clothing, Woodworking, or Blacksmithing Writ reward box, you now have a chance to obtain a shipment of 25 refined materials from a previous tier of materials.
- These shipments appear whenever you do not obtain a Survey Report.
You no longer need to be Champion 10 or above to obtain Crafting Writs for Craglorn and Orsinium.
- Note: You still must have access to Orsinium in order to receive an Orsinium crafting writ.
All harvest nodes now scale to your combat level or applicable crafting passive rank.

Miscellaneous Systems Changes & Updates[edit]

In addition to the above updates for One Tamriel, we've also made several miscellaneous changes to various systems across the game.

All vendors now offer goods close to your level, instead of goods based on the zone the vendor is located in.
Gold drops from monsters, treasure chests, safe boxes, Thieves Troves and other containers now scale to your level, instead of the level of the source.
The gold cost for Bribery is now based on your level.
Soul gem usage has been simplified.
- Players of all levels will receive and fill Grand Soul Gems, which can be used to revive players of any level, as well as to refill enchantments.
- Non-grand Soul Gems no longer fill these roles, and may be sold to vendors.
All survey reports now spawn six rich nodes. To balance out the reduction in number of nodes at high-tier survey sites, the amount of materials high-tier rich nodes award has been increased.
Players can now undergo the Ritual of Mara with players from other alliances.

New Features / Updates / Big Changes[edit]

Dueling[edit]

You can now initiate duels with other players!

This new feature can be found in the social interaction wheel when interacting with another player, or simply typing /duel <player name>.
Duels may be initiated in any non-PVP overland zone against a player of any alliance.
Duels can only be done between 2 player characters, and only a certain amount of duels can occur within a given area.
If you don't want to fight other player characters or receive dueling invitations, the Social panel in your options menu allows the auto-declining of duels.
Duels have the following rules:
- After the challenged player accepts the duel invitation, a countdown to begin will appear in the center of both player's screens.
- All outside influences such as healing, buffs, etc. from other player characters will be blocked when a duel begins, and will last for the duration of the duel.
- Combat with a monster will not break or end a duel.
- Battle-spirit will still be applied to any player characters within a duel.
- Duels will have a radius you must stay inside, and will be centered around a Dueling Flag.
  - You will be notified if you are nearing the "out of bounds" area of the duel.
- Leaving the duel area results in a forfeit.
- A duel is completed when one player character is knocked down to 0 hitpoints.
  - You will be offered a free resurection if defeated, or can be resurrected by other player characters.
New achievements have been added to your journal for winning 1, 25, and 100 duels.
Note that we have exposed your duel statistics to the API including player name, class, alliance and race for making your own add-ons.

Weapon Ultimates[edit]

New Weapon Ultimates have been added to the game. Each Weapon skill line now has one Ultimate, and each Ultimate can be obtained by reaching Rank 50 in its respective Weapon skill line. Weapon Ultimates can be morphed as well!

Champion Points[edit]

The Champion Point cap has been raised by a total of 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation). The Champion Point experience curve has been automatically adjusted with this new cap, so that earlier Champion Points require less experience and can be earned faster.

New Daily Quests[edit]

We've added daily quests for the three factions – Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and the Undaunted. Included are new rewards, and a new way to gain reputation in their ranks. You can find these quests in the capital cities in each faction's guildhall or camp.

New Monster Masks[edit]

16 new Monster Mask Item Sets have been added that drop in Dungeons. The following are a list of the names for the new sets:

Motifs[edit]

We've added three new Motifs in this update:

Celestial: The signature look of the final bosses of the Trials of Craglorn.
- The weekly quest for each Craglorn Trial will always award one chapter from a subset of chapters specific to that Trial.
  - Aetherian Archive awards the chapters for Axes, Boots, Helmets, Shoulders, and Staves.
  - Sanctum Ophidia awards the chapters for Bows, Daggers, Gloves, Legs, and Swords.
  - Hel Ra Citadel awards the chapters for Belts, Chests, Maces, and Shields.
  - All three quests have a very small chance for the complete motif book.
- The style item, Star Sapphires, can be obtained by defeating the Bosses of these Trials, with a greatly increased drop chance on Veteran Mode and from Hard Mode encounters.
Yokudan: This style can be seen on many of the enemies in Craglorn.
- The chapters of the style can be rarely obtained by completing repeatable quests in Craglorn.
- The style item, Ferrous Salts, can also be obtained from these quests.
Draugr: This style has been re-discovered by the Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, and the Undaunted.
- This ancient style of Nord armor can be learned from chapters rarely obtained by completing the new Fighters Guild, Mages Guild, and Undaunted Delve dailies.
- Pristine Shrouds, used to create Draugr-styled gear, can also be obtained from these quests.

Craft Bags (ESO Plus)[edit]

Added a new toggle option under: Settings -> Gameplay -> Auto-Add to Craft Bag.
- This allows you to decide if items are automatically sent to the Craft Bag.
- This defaults to on, which is the current behavior.
Added a "Stow Materials" keybind to the Inventory menu.
- This keybind appears when you have Craft Bag-eligible materials in your inventory, and stows all eligible materials from your inventory to your Craft Bag simultaneously.
- This option only appears when you have Auto-Add turned off.

General UI[edit]

Server selection is now done at the login screen rather than in the launcher. You can change the server you log into by selecting the new "SERVER" option in the left menu.
When highlighting equipment in your inventory, you will now see a preview of what your stats would be if you equipped it.

Available Templates[edit]

We will be supplying eight One Tamriel character templates to aid you in testing and will include the 30 new item sets, 16 new Monster Masks, 4 sets with the 5-piece bonus significantly changed, and 9 Trial sets that are now scaled to CP160. All Malestrom and Master weapons will also be provided as well. All sets are scaled to the character level of the template with armor in Divine, weapons in Precise, and Jewelry with traits associated to weight of the armor type.

All templates can be found in the upper-left corner dropdown on the Character Creation screen, and includes the following:
- Three templates – one for each alliance – that is level 50 with 300 Champion Points
- One template that is alliance-agnostic that is level 50 with 160 Champion Points
- Three templates – one for each alliance – that is level 49
- One template that is alliance agnostic and level 30
In addition, all templates except the level 30 template will have an item in their template inventory boxes that can be used to grant and max out the werewolf or vampire skill lines.
Each armor set, excluding Monster Masks, is sorted based on drop location and contains boxes for its jewelry and weapons as well.
We also fixed an issue where the Crafter's Limitless Library (a PTS-only item to aid testing) did not contain the Khajiit or Altmer Style Motif books. It now contains those books if your character is not a Khajiit or an Altmer, respectively.

Known Issues[edit]

Art & Animation[edit]

General

If you have a beard and equip one of the adornments below, your face will suffer from a graphical issue.
- Bald and Clean Shaven
- No Facial Accessory
- No Jewelry

Audio[edit]

General

You may run into some robo-VO, particularly in Craglorn, or missing sounds entirely. Final audio is still being worked on and adjusted.

General

Final battle leveled combat balance is still being iterated on, and improvements will be ongoing throughout PTS testing.
- Note: Monsters and bosses in Craglorn specifically are currently more difficult than intended.

Dueling[edit]

In some rare cases, AP may be unintentionally earned during a duel.
In extremely rare cases, you may appear to still be in a duel, even after the duel has ended. You can fix this by relogging, or challenging another player.

Weapons

Penetrating Magick: Wall of Elements and Elemental Storm will not currently benefit from the additional Spell Penetration provided by this passive.

Crafting & Economy[edit]

General

We are currently experimenting with Personal Vendor options on the PTS. You may notice functionality that is not currently on the Live megaservers. Please enjoy these features on the PTS, which may or may not be available when we publish Update 12.

Potions

Potion Boost enchantments currently boost potion durations by incorrect amounts.

Exploration & Itemization[edit]

Achievements

A few of the new dungeon achievements are not currently working as intended, and include:
- Volenfell Assassin and Volenfell Survivor award the Crypt of Hearts equivalents.
- Crypt of Hearts I Assassin gives the Arx Corinium equivalent.
- They Were Just Rusty fails to complete when you complete the requirements.
- Two of the bosses for Arx Corinium Conqueror do not advance the achievement appropriately.
The new achievements for the Mages Guild dailies, Fighters Guild dailies, and Undaunted Challenge dailies are a work in progress, and will not advance as expected.
The new motifs introduced with One Tamriel do not yet have their associated achievements. This includes the Celestial, Draugr, and Yokudan styles.

Itemization

The names of some quest rewards are not yet final.
The itemization specifically in Craglorn is not yet final, particularly items received from monsters and bosses.

Survey Reports

Rich Ebony nodes will often fail to award loot when harvested.
Rich nodes from Clothing and Woodworking Surveys mistakenly scale to your Metalworking passive rank, instead of the appropriate passive.
Under certain circumstances, it is possible to find multiple copies of each of the Rich nodes at Blacksmithing, Clothing, and Woodworking survey sites.

Templates[edit]

General

The Ice Heart Monster Mask currently contains Chokethorn mask items.
The Lamias Song Dungeon set bag currently contains the weapons for Netch's Touch.

UI[edit]

General

Several new items and achievements do not have their final icons. These will be coming online in a future PTS patch.
The Battle Leveling Boost on the active effects section of your character sheet is being iterated on, and is not currently showing the correct values.
The quest tracker will not update correctly after crafting all the items required for crafting writs, though the quest is still able to be turned in.
- This also happens with Sacraments and Heists.

Dark Brotherhood Fixes & Improvements[edit]

Combat & Gameplay[edit]

Dark Brotherhood

The pickpocket prompt will no longer appear while you are in the middle of using the Blade of Woe on a target that can be pickpocketed.

Monster Abilities

Bodyguard
- Bodyguards no longer sacrifice themselves to save other bodyguards from death.

Quests & Zones[edit]

Sacraments

The journal UI will no longer improperly classify Sacraments as group quests.
- Added an extra journal hint to elaborate that using the Blade of Woe while you have a poison equipped counts towards optional objectives to slay targets with poison.

Imperial City Fixes & Improvements[edit]

Combat & Gameplay[edit]

Monsters

Sweepers and Sewer Bosses
- Player-summoned monsters no longer cause more adds to spawn.

Exploration & Itemization[edit]

General

Bone Shards have been renamed to Key Fragments.
The treasure vault doors of Imperial City will now accept 60 of any combination of the following:
- Bloody Claws
- Bone Shards
- Daedric Embers
- Daedric Shackles
- Dark Ether
- Key Fragments (previously known as Bone Shards)
- Mark of the Legion
- Monstrous Teeth
- Planar Armor
The treasure vault doors within White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison will follow the same rules as above, but require 150 items per door.
Monsters in Imperial City will now drop Key Fragments by default, and have had their drop rates adjusted.
Fixed an issue where taking certain weapons and armor in the Daggerfall Covenant base in the Imperial City Sewers counted as stealing.

Dungeons

The rewards for completing the initial quests for the Imperial City Prison and White-Gold Tower dungeons ("Mara's Blessing" and "Grevious Ward") have been reduced from purple quality to blue quality, to bring them in line with all other dungeon quest rewards.
