In addition to a new zone and quests to enjoy, you'll also come across two new world bosses and two delves, plus a new 4-player leaderboard Arena: Blackrose Prison. We've also added 12 new item sets obtainable from Murkmire content, new Motifs, 75 new furnishings, 50 new achievements, and many fun collectibles.

New Features / Updates / Big ChangesEdit

Murkmire DLC Game Pack
New Zone - Murkmire

On the southernmost tip of Tamriel, far beyond the boundaries that separate the known from the uncharted, lies a lush coastal marsh—a region as beautiful as it is bizarre. Only the bravest travelers make the journey to Murkmire, and those that survive are forever changed.

The mud-caked streets and alleyways of Lilmoth overflow with fresh-faced adventurers, intent on earning both fame and fortune in Tamriel's most perilous wilds. Many who enter the deep murk never return. But those that do recount stories of both beauty and horror--tales of savage beasts, vibrant flora, ancient ruins, and proud Argonian tribes. Mysteries lurk in every dank corner of Murkmire. Do you have the strength and cunning to uncover them all?

  • To visit Murkmire, navigate to the DLC tab of the Collections menu and accept the "Sunken Treasure" quest from the Murkmire DLC section. This will unlock the Lilmoth Wayshrine and lead you to Murkmire.
  • Additionally, the supplied Character Template will bring you directly to the questline to begin your journey to Murkmire.
Blackrose Prison

When Imperial Potentate Versidue-Shaie wanted a distant dungeon to house the most feared criminal and political prisoners of the Second Empire, he ordered a penal institution built on the coast of Black Marsh; it was named Blackrose Prison after the ancient city a day's march to the north. Now, you can enter the dreaded Blackrose Prison, and face waves of brutal enemies in an ever-escalating battle for treasure and glory.

  • Blackrose Prison is a 4-player Arena located in Murkmire.
  • The Arena includes a normal and challenging Veteran version.
  • There are all-new, skill augmenting "Blackrose" weapons in the same fashion as Master, Maelstrom and Asylum weapons. The full list can be found below.

Scuttlebloom and Trap Plants

Murkmire is a zone truly hungry for adventurers (and they don't even have to be human)! What are these strange Scuttlebloom and Trap Plants?

  • Certain native plants throughout Murkmire have aggressive behavior ranging from slashing leaves to poison gas. Sneaking up on these plants will let you disable them and pass them unharmed.
  • Be on the lookout for the elusive (and tiny) Scuttlebloom! Sneaking up on this little guy rewards you with a temporary boost to your run speed, as well as honey, alchemic grease, or very rarely, a docile Scuttlebloom of your very own to place in your home. Be careful though - if they sense your presence, they will duck underground until they sense the danger is gone.
New Furnishing Plans

There are approximately 75 new furnishing plans to discover and craft from Murkmire.

New Achievements

Murkmire introduces over 50 new achievement for you to pursue.

Bridges and Milegates in Cyrodiil can now be destroyed and repaired!

  • New UI icons have been added to the map which detail the current state of these structures, much like Keep status icons.
  • These structures are permanently neutral, and can be damaged and repaired by all Alliances.
  • New Repair Kits have been added to Siege merchants to specifically repair just Milegates and Bridges.
    • Note that repairing a Bridge or Milegate does not grant Alliance Points.
Rewards for the Worthy Refresh

In this update, we've refreshed the Item Sets available from Rewards for the Worthy. They now provide an item from one of six all-new item sets, available solely through Rewards for the Worthy mails. Note the item sets that were previously available here are still available elsewhere in Cyrodiil. These items drop in the style of your Alliance, and are scaled to your level.

  • Indomitable Fury (Light)
    • 2: Max Magicka
    • 3: Max Magicka

New PvP Collectible

Character Re-Ordering

You can now rearrange the order your characters are listed on the Character Select screen! To do so, simply drag and drop a character field or use the clickable up and down buttons.

Housing & Editor Improvements

We've updated the Housing Editor to include an edit history display, the ability to Undo and Redo edits, and the ability to link furniture together so that they can be moved and adjusted simultaneously.

  • Housing Editor Undo/Redo and History
    • The Housing Editor now includes a robust Undo / Redo function to help homeowners and decorators create the perfect layout! With this new feature, you can now undo (and redo) up to 200 changes from your current edit session.
    • This includes a new history that displays your last several edits, so that you always know what to expect when you undo or redo a change.
  • Furnishing Groups
    • Tired of moving your feasting table one mug at a time? You can now group objects together for ease of editing in the Housing Editor! Simply hover over a furnishing in your housing editor, hit the new "Link" button, and link up to 50 child objects to your selected furnishing. The next time you move that object, you will also move everything linked to it.
      • For example, if you select a table and link its nearby chairs to it, then moving the table will also move the chairs. You can still move the chairs independently without affecting the table, so no need to unlink and relink for minor adjustments.
    • You can even link one furnishing group to another -- you could make a group for each place setting on your table, and then link those place settings to the table so that they move with the table, but can also be edited individually.
    • When selecting a furnishing in the housing editor, any children linked to it will be tinted for easy identification. If it has a parent, the parent will also be tinted.
  • Additional Improvements
    • Having your character die in player-owned houses will no longer cause durability of equipped items to decrease.
    • The Collectible Furnishing limit for Notable homes has been increased from 50 to 55, which is accordingly doubled to 110 for ESO Plus subscribers.
Crafting Motifs

During this PTS cycle, we're introducing several new Motifs for testing. Note that only one of these will be included in Murkmire's launch, with the others being released later.

  • The Dead-Water Motif will be available when Murkmire launches. Chapters can be obtained occasionally from completing Delve, Village, and Group Boss Daily Quests in Murkmire.
    • The Style Item for the Dead-Water style, Crocodile Leather, is available from the same sources.
  • The Silver Dawn Motif will be available later this year, after Update 20 is released. The Chapters can be obtained by completing Moon Hunter Keep, becoming more likely with higher difficulties of the dungeon, up to being guaranteed to drop on Veteran Hard mode.
    • The Style Item for the Silver Dawn style, Argent Pelts, is obtained by killing bosses in Moon Hunter Keep, with a greater chance to drop on Veteran than on Normal.
  • The Elder Argonian Motif will be available after the new year. Chapters can be obtained occasionally from completing Delve, Village, and Group Boss Daily Quests in Murkmire - just like the Dead-Water Motif.
    • The Style Item for the Elder Argonian style, Hackwing Plumage, is available from the same sources.
  • Finally, the Huntsman Motif will be available in Q1 next year. The Chapters can be obtained by completing the March of Sacrifices, becoming more likely with higher difficulties of the dungeon, up to being guaranteed to drop on Veteran Hard mode.
    • The Style Item for the Huntsman style, Bloodscent Dew, is obtained by killing bosses in the March of Sacrifices, with a greater chance to drop on Veteran than on Normal.
ESO Plus Improvements

Coming later this year on November 13, we'll be making updates to ESO Plus to provide even more value and benefits to members. You can read more about these upcoming benefits in this article. In this PTS update, we'll be testing out several of these features including exclusive discounts and items to purchase. Note you must have an active ESO Plus membership to aid in this testing, and the items and discounts you see are for testing purposes only; they are not indicative of the final product.

In conjunction with these changes, we have made several updates to the ESO Plus section of the Crown Store to support ESO Plus deals and exclusive offerings:

  • Added a new "ESO Plus" tab to the Crown Store.
  • Added a new "ESO Plus Deals" page that collects all active deals for ESO Plus members in one place.
  • Updated the layout of the ESO Plus membership page.
So you want an Indrik?

In this PTS patch, you'll begin to see glimpses of a unique collectible you'll be able to obtain exclusively in-game by participating in upcoming in-game events. We'll be giving you a chance to test the entire flow in a couple weeks, but in the meantime, here's a taste of what's to come:

  • You may see hints of a Nascent Indrik mount – you will be able to earn this mount for free, exclusively in-game!
    • In short, participating in specific in-game events will earn you Event Tickets. You can trade in those Event Tickets at a unique NPC called The Impresario for different types of Indrik feathers.
    • Once you have all 4 Indrik Feathers, you can use them to perform the Indrik summoning ritual.
  • The Nascent Indrik can later be evolved into different "adult" forms. Doing so will require specific Enchanted Berries obtained from The Impresario.
    • Evolving your Nascent Indrik is also something you will be able to achieve by participating in in-game events.
Champion Point Increase

The Champion Point cap has been raised by a total of 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation) for a total of 810 Champion Points. 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.

Mac Min Spec

We have switched the Mac renderer from OpenGL to MoltenVK (Metal) to support the upcoming release of the upcoming MacOS Mojave. Upon first launching the game, you will notice longer load times and frequent hitching as the shaders are rebuilt for MoltenVK, with some notable unstableness in this first PTS patch. We plan to make iterations throughout PTS to improve performance. To support these changes, we will be updating the minimum spec for all Mac players in Update 20. These will be as follows:

  • Operating System: macOS High Sierra v 10.13
  • Model: Late-2013 27-inch iMac and Newer
  • Hard Disk Space: 85 GB free HDD space
  • Internet: Internet Broadband Connection

Available TemplatesEdit

We have two Character Templates available for use on PTS cycle.

  • The first template is simply labeled "Murkmire", and functions much as previous Character Templates have.
    • This template includes boxes for all the new item sets, including the sets dropped in Murkmire, from Rewards for the Worthy mails, and from the new Blackrose Prison Arena.
    • This template starts you at level 50, with the maximum CP allowed for the update.
  • The second template is labeled "Murkmire (Low-Level)", and will create a level 10 character, in Murkmire, with non-set equipment and only basic supplies.
    • This is intended to help mirror a less experienced and less-well-equipped player's starting point in Murkmire to aid in testing purposes.
  • We've also corrected an issue with the Furnishing Recipe book found in template characters' inventories, preventing them from learning all furnishing recipes in the book.

Known IssuesEdit

Alliance War & PVPEdit

General

  • Siege weapons, with the exception of rams, can currently cause proc sets with ground targeted AoEs and point black AoEs to proc when hitting other siege weapons or keep pieces. This should be fixed in the next PTS patch.

You cannot currently knock other players off fixtures into the water.

Combat & GameplayEdit

General

  • Pull abilities (such as Fiery Grip or Frozen Gate) may not display the crowd control immunity effects correctly after the target has been pulled to you.
  • The Precognition morph of Undo currently does not allow you to cast it while you are under the effects of certain crowd control effects, and may display an incorrect duration of the crowd control immunity buff in your bufftrackers.
  • Negate Magic and its morphs will not properly stun monsters for the full duration of the area of effect.
  • The snare applied by Aspect of Terror and its morphs currently will not display the correct duration in your bufftrackers when you use Break Free to remove the fear.

Animation

  • The Springbok's legs no longer shake when dead.

Crafting & EconomyEdit

General

  • Fixed an issue where the Bow chapter of the Welkynar style motif used the word "esthetics", instead of the more commonly-accepted "aesthetics". The pride of Summerset will suffer no less than perfect grammar and vocabulary.

Exploration & ItemizationEdit

Books

  • "The Scaled Elves" is now found in Pandermalion's camp.
  • "Night Runner Captain's Journal" can now be read after completing The Abyssal Cabal.

  • "Wing Rot Curative Trials" now glows properly.

General

  • Due to an outcry of the citizens, "Reman's Plaza" in Alinor has been renamed to "Rinmawen's Plaza". The Kinlady of Alinor regrets this unfortunate episode and assures the good people of Summerset that the responsible party will be reminded of their civic duty.

Combat & GameplayEdit

Combat & AbilitiesEdit

General

  • Updated the interaction between Roll Dodge and projectiles.
    • Fixed an issue where a projectile would always be dodged if the target was Roll Dodging at the moment the projectile was created.
    • Projectiles can now only be evaded if the Roll Dodge occurs within one second prior to their impact.
    • Developer Comment: This will help sync up the Roll Dodge animation with the dodge bonus it grants. If you see the enemy actively dodging, they will be able to avoid your attacks. We've coupled this with some additional changes you can read more about below with the goal being to reinforce the dodge visual.
  • Updated the behavior of all damage shields.
    • You can now deal a Critical Strike against an enemy with a damage shield.
    • Your Spell and Physical Resistance now reduces incoming damage before it is applied to your damage shield.
      • Developer Comment: This change makes damage shields function more consistently with the rest of the game's mechanics. It means that damage shields are more powerful in PvE content since monsters generally don't reduce armor. Heavy Armor players in particular will receive much more effective damage shields now. This is intended to make damage shields a more potent tools for tanks. We will be monitoring this change closely throughout the PTS cycle and will make adjustments as necessary.
In addition to this change, there are several other damage shield adjustments listed below in the specific abilities section.
    • Poisons and Weapon Enchantments can now proc even if the damage done by the Light Attack, Heavy Attack, or Weapon Ability is fully absorbed by a damage shield.
  • Fixed several issues with Poisons and Weapon Enchantments.
    • All Poisons now correctly proc 20% of the time when any Light Attack, Heavy Attack, or weapon ability deals damage.
    • Food and Drink will now provide the correct stat bonuses if they are consumed while you have a Poison equipped.
    • All Weapon Enchantments now correctly proc 100% of the time when not on cooldown when any Light Attack, Heavy Attack, or weapon ability deals damage.
    • When Dual Wielding, casting a weapon ability can now proc the Weapon Enchantment of either weapon. The system will favor proccing a Weapon Enchantment that is not on cooldown.
  • Removed the baseline 100 Spell and Physical Penetration all player characters previously had.
  • Refactored the Break Free ability and Crowd Control Immunity buff to increase the consistency and reliability of these mechanics.
  • Updated the Skill Advisor for most Stamina builds to suggest the Trap Beast ability at a later level.
  • Fixed an issue where you could add or remove abilities on your ability bar while you were in combat.
  • Fixed an issue where some Movement Speed bonuses were not additive with each other, resulting in very slight inconsistencies in total Movement Speed when they were used together.
  • Fixed numerous ability tooltips for grammar, spelling, formatting, and accuracy.
  • Fixed an issue where mounting while taking DoT damage would cause you to be unable to mount or weapon swap.

Buffs and Debuffs

  • Minor/Major Evasion: These buffs no longer grant a passive chance to dodge. They now reduce the damage you take from area of effect attacks by 5/25%. All abilities that previously granted Minor or Major Evasion have been converted to this new effect, and the Blade Cloak ability now grants Major Evasion.
    • Developer Comment: This change affects the abilities Blur, Evasion, Deceptive Predator, Gossamer, Grace of Gloom, Adept Rider, Hist Bark, and Spectre's Eye.
As noted above, we spent time fixing issues with dodge, with the goal of making sure that you only dodge abilities/projectiles when you are actually actively dodging. Passive dodge goes against that, so we removed it from the game.
  • Major Expedition: Fixed an issue where the visual effects from this buff were only visible to the caster.
  • Minor Brutality: Increased the bonus to Weapon Damage to 10% from 5%.
  • Minor Prophecy: Increased the bonus to Spell Critical Strike Chance to 6% from 3%.
  • Minor Savagery: Increased the bonus to Weapon Critical Strike Chance to 6% from 3%.
  • Minor Sorcery: Increased the bonus to Spell Damage to 10% from 5%.
    • Developer Comment: The changes to Minor Brutality, Prophecy, Savagery and Sorcery were aimed at making each class feel valued in group play. It should be encouraged, but not required, to have a party with multiple classes.

Dragonknight Developer Comment: Please be sure to read through all the Dragonknight changes fully before providing feedback. Many of the changes in this update complement each other.

  • Ardent Flame
    • Lava Whip: Decreased the range of this ability and its morphs to 5 meters from 8 meters.
    • Flame Lash (Lava Whip morph): Removed the stun from the Power Lash special attack.
      • Developer Comment: We want all classes to be intentional about when they land stuns on the enemy, and not have it coupled with an already highly damaging attack.
    • Power Lash: The Power Lash special attack is no longer free, and now costs half the amount of a regular Flame Lash.
      • Developer Comment: This puts the ability on par with other types of proc abilities, such as Crystal Frags.
    • World in Ruin: This ability no longer increases the damage of Poison area of effect abilities by 3/6%. It now reduces the Stamina cost of all Poison abilities by 12/25%. The Flame bonuses of this passive remain unchanged.
  • Draconic Power
    • Dragon Leap: Fixed an issue where this ability and the Take Flight morph did not improve as they ranked up.
    • Elder Dragon: This passive ability now also increases the range of all instant-cast melee abilities 1 meter per rank, in addition to granting Health Recovery for each Draconic Power ability slotted.
      • Developer Comment: This change was made to help standardize the range of all DK melee attacks. It also matches the melee light attack range to the range of their abilities. This additional range helps distinguish melee DKs from other melee classes.
    • Hardened Armor (Spiked Armor morph): Increased the duration of the damage shield from this morph to 6 seconds from 2.5 seconds.
  • Earthen Heart
    • Ash Cloud: Increased the healing done by approximately 50%.
    • Cinder Storm (Ash Cloud morph): Increased the healing done by approximately 60%.
    • Eruption (Ash Cloud morph): Increased the initial damage done by approximately 15%, and the damage over time by approximately 70%.
    • Igneous Weapons (Molten Weapons morph): Fixed an issue where this morph did not improve as it ranked up.
    • Obsidian Shield: Decreased the strength of the damage shield from this ability and its morphs to 9% of your Max Health from 10%.
    • Fragmented Shield (Obsidian Shield morph): Fixed an issue where recasting this morph would not fully refresh the damage shield value.

Nightblade

  • Assassination
    • Assassin's Blade: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 30%.
    • Piercing Mark (Mark Target morph): Decreased the duration of the detection effect to 5 seconds from 30 seconds.

The duration of the Major Fracture and Breach effects remain unchanged.

    • Grim Focus:
      • Fully-Charged Heavy Attacks now grant 2 stacks towards the spectral bow proc for this ability and its morphs.
      • The spectral bow proc is no longer free, and costs half the amount of a regular Grim Focus.
      • Fixed an issue where you could generate stacks towards the spectral bow proc through unintended means.
  • Shadow
    • Consuming Darkness: Fixed an issue where this ability and the Bolstering Darkness morph did not improve as they ranked up. The duration now improves 0.5 seconds per rank.
    • Path of Darkness: This ability no longer deals damage. It now grants Major Expedition to you and your allies on the path, and for up to 2 seconds after leaving it.
    • Twisting Path (Path of Darkness morph): This morph now adds damage. The damage value is the same as what is currently on Live.
    • Refreshing Path: This morph now adds healing. The healing value is equal to the damage value of Twisting Path.
      • Developer Comment: This change to Path of Darkness is aimed at helping each class bring something to the party.
  • Siphoning
    • Power Extraction (Drain Power morph): Increased the damage done by this morph by approximately 25%.
    • Siphoning Strikes: Fully charged Heavy Attacks now restore twice the amount of Health and resources for this ability and its morphs.
    • Strife: Reduced the damage done by this ability by half, but it now also heals for 50% of the damage done and can now target you or any ally. The total healing amount remains unchanged.
    • Swallow Soul (Strife morph): This morph now doubles the damage, but decreases the heal to 35% of the damage done and can only target you. The passive Minor Vitality effect has been removed.
    • Funnel Health (Strife morph): This morph will now always heal you in addition to an ally.
      • Developer Comment: For the Swallow Soul morph, we wanted to retain the current functionality of dealing high damage, while also providing healing utility to yourself. The amount of healing provided to the group with Strife was so high that there wasn't enough tradeoff with the morph choice. Now you can still get that super powerful group utility as before, but now it comes at a cost of reduced damage. This is the Funnel Health morph.

Sorcerer

  • Dark Magic
    • Crystal Fragments (Crystal Shard morph):
      • The icon on your action bar now changes when you have an instant-cast proc.
      • Fixed an issue where using the instant-cast proc would cause you to stop blocking, and would prevent you from taking other actions for 0.2 seconds.
    • Dark Exchange: This ability and its morphs now restore half their resources immediately, and the other half over 20 seconds. Total resources restored has been increased by approximately 2%. The Health restored remains unchanged.
    • Dark Deal (Dark Exchange morph): This morph now also has a cost reduction bonus as its morph effect.
    • Rune Prison:
      • This ability and its morphs now stun the target after 1.2 seconds; a new visual effect will display on the target to indicate this effect. The initial application of this effect cannot be dodged, but if the target is dodging after 1.2 seconds they will avoid the stun.
      • Increased the duration of the stun to 3 seconds from 2 seconds.
    • Rune Cage (Rune Prison morph): Increased the damage done if the target fails to use Break Free before the stun ends by approximately 22%.
      • Developer Comment: We wanted to clearly telegraph when this stun is coming since it doesn't use a projectile to indicate when it applies. You should now have some time to respond or prepare defenses.
  • Daedric Summoning
    • Bound Armor: Increased the bonus to block mitigation granted by this ability and its morphs to 36% from 20%.
    • Conjured Ward:
      • This ability and its morphs now have a 1-second cast time, previously an instant cast.
      • Increased the duration of the damage shield for Conjured Ward and the Hardened Ward morph to 9 seconds from 6 seconds.
    • Empowered Ward (Conjured Ward morph): Increased the duration of the damage shield to 14 seconds from 9 seconds.

    • Summon Unstable Familiar: Decreased the cost of the special attack from this ability and the Volatile Familiar morph by approximately 15%.
    • Summon Unstable Clannfear (Summon Unstable Familiar morph): Decreased the cost of the special attack from this morph by approximately 33%.
    • Summon Twilight Tormentor (Summon Winged Twilight morph): Decreased the cost of the special attack from this morph by approximately 15%.
  • Storm Calling
    • Mages' Fury:
      • Fixed an issue where this ability could be cast on corpses.
      • Fixed an issue where the execute explosion would sometimes not trigger correctly when the target fell below 20% Health.
      • Fixed an issue where casting this ability would aggro monsters before actually dealing damage.
      • Fixed an issue where you could cast this ability on a target you did not have line of sight on.
      • Fixed an issue where using this ability was not counting towards the Expert Mage passive.
    • Overload:
      • This ability and its morphs no longer grant a third ability bar when toggled on.
      • Weapon abilities can now be used while in Overload mode, and are no longer hidden.
      • You can no longer generate any Ultimate while this ability is toggled on.
      • You can now toggle this on when you have 25 Ultimate or more, previously 75 Ultimate.
      • Light and Heavy Attacks are now off the global cooldown and can be woven with other abilities.
      • Decreased the damage of the Light Attack by approximately 50%.
      • Increased the damage of the Heavy Attack by approximately 60%.
        • Power Overload (Overload morph): This morph now specifies the bonus range and radius for the Light and Heavy Attacks.
      • Developer Comment: We want Sorcerers to feel like they have access to their full arsenal while in Overload mode. This ability is updated to better integrate with other abilities. As soon as you Overload light attack you can cast an ability, just like the light attacks of any other weapon set.

Templar

  • Aedric Spear
    • Binding Javelin (Piercing Javelin morph): This morph now knocks the enemy down instead of knocking them back.
      • Developer Comment: This change was made to help ensure Stamina melee builds are able to continue to hit their targets after activating Binding Javelin. Ranged stamina builds still have access to a knockback with Scatter Shot. (See below for additional changes to Scatter Shot).
    • Puncturing Strikes:
      • Increased the damage dealt to the closest target only by approximately 8% for this ability and its morphs.
      • While channeling this ability and its morphs, your character will now always orient the direction of the area of effect towards your reticle. This also allows you to turn and damage enemies with these abilities while you are rooted.
      • Developer Comment: We want to make sure Melee builds are adequately rewarded for the extra amount of risk they are undertaking.
    • Empowering Sweep (Radial Sweep morph): This morph now deals Physical Damage instead of Magic Damage, and also now grants Major Protection for 6 seconds, plus 1 second for each target hit.
    • Crescent Sweep (Radial Sweep morph): This morph now deals Magic Damage instead of Physical Damage.
      • Developer Comment: As stamina builds already have a bursty option with Dawnbreaker, we wanted Magicka Templars to have access to a similar option with Crescent Sweep. This also expands the options for Stamina Templars to have a more defensive Ultimate from Empowering Sweep to help fulfill the brawler playstyle.
    • Spear Shards: Increased the damage done by this ability and the Luminous Shards morph by approximately 67%.
    • Blazing Spear (Spear Shards morph): Increased the damage done from this ability by approximately 60%.
    • Spear Wall: This ability now grants you Minor Protection for 1.5/3 seconds after activating an Aedric Spear ability.
      • Developer Comment: We wanted to retain the defensive flavor of this passive while making it applicable to more of the Aedric Spear skills. The previous version wasn't effective with Puncturing Strikes and Focused Charge because they can't be used while blocking. Damage shield mitigation doesn't include block, so Sun Shield also wasn't useful previously with this skill.
    • Blazing Shield (Sun Shield morph): Fixed an issue where casting this morph would aggro neutral monsters around you.
  • Dawn's Wrath
    • Backlash: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 5%.
    • Radiant Destruction: Decreased the channel time for this ability and its morphs to 1.8 seconds from 2.8 seconds; the damage done has been decreased by approximately 15% and cost by approximately 35%. The total damage per second and cost per second should remain relatively unchanged.
      • Developer Comment: This change allows the Templar more opportunities to integrate damage over time effects into their rotation during the execute phase, while retaining the powerful level of Radiant Destruction.
  • Restoring Light
    • Repentance (Restoring Aura morph): Different Templars can now repent the same corpse.
    • Rune Focus: Reduced the cost to match the Channeled Focus morph.
    • Restoring Focus (Rune Focus morph): This morph now costs Stamina and grants Stamina to you every second, and no longer gives Minor Vitality and Minor Protection.
      • Developer Comment: Minor Protection was moved to the Spear Wall passive to retain the total damage mitigation for tanky Templar playstyles.

Warden

  • Animation [sic] Companions
    • Advanced Species: Increased the bonus to damage done for each Animal Companion ability slotted to 3% at rank II, previously 2%.
    • Betty Netch:
      • Increased the resources restored by this ability and its morphs by approximately 60%.
      • Fixed an issue where the beam visual effects would not display if you recast the ability or its morphs.
    • Cutting Dive (Dive morph): This morph now also reduces the cost as a morph effect.
    • Screaming Cliff Racer (Dive morph): This morph no longer has a minimum range requirement to obtain part of the 15% damage done bonus. Every meter you are away from the target adds 1% damage done, up to a maximum of 15%.
    • Falcon's Swiftness: Fixed an issue where part of the visual effects from this ability and its morphs was still visible to enemies even when you were hidden.
    • Bird of Prey (Falcon's Swiftness morph): The Minor Berserk buff is now granted at all times while this morph is slotted.
    • Deceptive Predator (Falcon's Swiftness morph): The Minor Evasion buff is now granted at all times while this morph is slotted. This morph no longer grants an increased duration to the active Major Expedition and Major Endurance buffs.
      • Developer Comment: The goal of this change is to help reduce buff management for Wardens. You can now activate this ability reactively in situations where movement speed is needed, instead of having to keep the effect up 100% of the time.
    • Feral Guardian: Decreased the damage done by the bear summoned from this ability and its morphs by approximately 30%.
    • Scorch: Reduced the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 25%.
    • Swarm: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 30%.
  • Green Balance
    • Maturation: The Minor Toughness granted by this passive now applies even if the target was completely over-healed, and its duration has been increased to 10/20 seconds from 5/10 seconds.
      • Developer Comment: The goal of this change is to ensure that all types of Wardens now have the ability to bring Minor Toughness to the group.
    • Nature's Grasp: This ability can now target your Feral Guardian and its morphs.
  • Winter's Embrace
    • Arctic Blast (morph Arctic Wind): This morph now fires a projectile that stuns the target in addition to healing you. It requires an enemy target to cast the ability. This ability also no longer deals damage over time based on your maximum health.
    • Impaling Shards: Fixed an issue where the visual effects of this ability and its morphs did not persist for the full duration of the effect.

Weapon

  • Dual Wield
    • Blade Cloak: This ability and its morphs now grant Major Evasion.
  • Bow
    • Acid Spray (Arrow Spray morph): Fixed an issue where the damage over time from this morph was breaking the invisibility of Shadow Cloak.
    • Scatter Shot: Increased the range of this ability and its morphs to 28 meters from 10 meters.
      • Developer Comment: The range was increased to be more in line with the other Bow abilities and now fits better into rotations at range.
  • Destruction Staff
    • Impulse: Increased the damage done by this ability and its morphs by approximately 25%.

Armor

  • Light Armor
    • Annulment
      • This ability and its morphs now have a 1 second cast time, previously instant-cast.
      • Increased the duration of the damage shield to 9 seconds from 6 seconds.
      • Developer Comment: Damage shields are very powerful because they can be used to instantly reduce incoming damage, and allow the user to stack offensive stats while also being very difficult to kill. Adding a cast time and increasing the duration makes this an ability to use proactively before damage happens, or at opportune times during combat.
    • Evocation: This ability now also increases your Magicka Recovery by 2/4% per piece of Light Armor worn, in addition to reducing the cost of Magicka abilities by 1/2% per piece of Light Armor worn.
    • Recovery:
      • Renamed this ability to Grace.
      • This ability's old effects have been merged into the Evocation passive.
      • It now reduces the effectiveness of snares applied to you by 1/2/4% per piece of Light Armor worn, and reduces the cost of Sprint by 1/2/3% per piece of Light Armor worn.
      • Developer Comment: All these changes are aimed at making Light Armor more attractive to Magicka users in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
  • Medium Armor
    • Agility: Increased the Weapon Damage bonus to 7/15% from 6/12%.

World

  • Werewolf
    • Devour: Different Werewolves can now devour the same corpse.
    • Savage Strength: Fixed an issue where this passive ability was not actually increasing your Spell and Physical Resistance.
    • Werewolf Transformation: Fixed an issue where the transformation from this ability and its morphs was being removed from you if you zoned into a new area.
    • Pack Leader (Werewolf Transformationmorph): Fixed an issue where using a Heavy Attack against an enemy would not cause your Direwolves to target that enemy.

Guild

Alliance War

  • Assault
    • Reach: This ability now only affects abilities that have a 28 meter range or more, previously 15 meters.
    • War Horn: This ability and its morphs no longer grant Minor Toughness.

    • Spell Precision: Decreased the Spell Critical Strike Chance granted to 9% from 12%.
  • The Ritual
    • Precise Strikes: Decreased the Weapon Critical Strike Chance granted to 9% from 12%.
      • Developer Comment: These changes were made to keep damage and critical strike rates in line after the increased changes to Minor Prophecy/Savagery.
  • The Shadow
    • Befoul: Fixed an issue where placing points into this Champion ability was not updating the tooltip of some Major and Minor defile abilities.

Itemization & Item SetsEdit

General

  • Fixed an issue where a Bind on Equip weapon on your secondary weapon bar would not be bound until you weapon-swapped to that bar. Now, when you equip a Bind on Equip weapon, it will immediately bind - whether or not you are currently using that weapon bar.

Decreased the effectiveness of poisons that increase Magicka and Stamina costs to a 10% cost increase, previously 30%.

Glyphs

  • Absorb Stamina Enchantment: This glyph now deals Physical Damage instead of Magicka Damage.
  • Crusher: This glyph now always prioritizes the highest value debuff on the target. A lower value Crusher enchantment proc cannot overwrite a higher value one.
  • Weakening: This glyph now always prioritizes the highest value debuff on the target. A lower value Weakening enchantment proc cannot overwrite a higher value one.

Item Sets

  • Fixed an issue where healing ability tooltips were not being updated when you had an Item Set bonus that increased healing done.
  • Affliction: Fixed an issue where the damage from this Item Set was being mitigated by the target's Spell Resistance instead of their Physical Resistance.
  • Jorvuld's Guidance: Fixed an issue where this Item Set was not increasing the duration of the Major Protection buff from the Remembrance morph.
  • Maw of the Infernal: Fixed an issue where the damage area of the Daedroth's Fiery Breath ability was smaller than the visual effect area.
    • Developer Comment: The damage area radius was increased by approximately 100%, and the cone width was increased by 20%.
  • Pirate Skeleton: Fixed an issue where the appearance change from this Item Set was not lasting the full duration if you were also wearing the Jorvuld's Guidance Item Set.
  • Powerful Assault: Fixed an issue where the proc from this Item Set would only apply to your group members, and not just any ally.
  • Thurvokun: Fixed an issue where the Minor Defile debuff applied was only reducing healing received and not also Health Recovery.
  • Vestment of Olorime: Fixed an issue where some player abilities and dungeon boss synergies were incorrectly proccing this Item Set.
  • Vykosa: Fixed an issue where this Item Set would not proc Major Maim if the target was taunted by the Tormentor Item Set proc.

Keeps

  • Keep walls now have 410,000 HP when upgraded instead of 305,000 HP.

Crown Store & Crown CratesEdit

Art

  • Adornments are now visible when equipped with the Priest of the Green costume.
  • Fixed a white texture that would appear on the upper lip of Argonian males after equipping the Blood-Forged Skin.

General

  • Fixed an issue where Jahla's Shield of the Beekeeper (available from by defeating Jahlasri, a World Boss in Greenshade) was misspelled "Sheild". Jahlasri has never been noted as a particularly keen speller, but he's learning. Slowly.
  • The Help menu now explains the nature and location of the new Event Merchant, and the Event Tickets she accepts as currency.

Achievements

  • Fixed an issue where an Aldmeri Dominion quest achievement and a Shadows of the Hist achievement were sharing the same name of "Iconoclast." The Shadows of the Hist achievement has had its name changed to "Heretic" to avoid confusion.

Homes

  • Exiting the Princely Dawnlight Palace now correctly leaves you facing Abah's Landing, instead of the door you just walked through.
