Elder Scrolls Online: How Does Scribing System Work In The Upcoming Gold Road Chapter?

Seeking breakthroughs should be something that any MMORPG that wants to persist in operation must do. Even if the current game development trend is good, it will soon be eliminated by other competitors without maintenance and updates. That is why, in the current prosperous game market, the classic MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online follows the rules and trends and ushered in a new era of its own in 2025. As the first year after the game held its 10th anniversary event, 2025 has naturally become the best time node for ESO developers to implement various new plans. In fact, at the end of last year, the game gradually announced a number of new plans, such as the game update mode changed from a major annual update to a new season every few months, and the plan will be implemented through the launch of update 45 and the new DLC Fallen Banners. As time goes by, three or four days ago on March 10th, you can finally start to experience update 45 and the new DLC in ESO first through the PC/Mac platform (Xbox and PlayStation login will have to wait until March 26th). It is worth noting that update 45 is free for all subscribed players, but the new DLC has changed the old mechanism and needs to be obtained separately. Therefore, in order to help you consider whether to experience this DLC, we will focus on introducing you to the overview of the two dungeons in it. DLC Fallen Banners Overview The two new PVE dungeons in Fallen Banners DLC are Lep Seclusa and Exiled Redoubt. Although their exclusive plots are different, they have something in common: they will reward you with ESO Gold or other items necessary for playing the game after you complete the relevant tasks. Generally speaking, as long as you are a subscriber to Elder Scrolls Online, you can enjoy all DLC for free before, but perhaps due to the chain reaction caused by changes in the seasonal update mechanism and other aspects, you must currently have an ESO Plus membership to access the dungeons in Fallen Banners. Or you can just wait and see until the developers reveal other ways to get the DLC during ESO Direct on April 10. Dungeon 1 Lep Seclusa Most PVE dungeons in RPGs have a storyline all their own, and Lep Seclusa is no exception. It’s actually home to a little-known group of Redguard monks called Hel Netu, who have long been dedicated to erasing any knowledge of Hel Netu from the rest of Tamriel, making Lep Seclusa the perfect place to hide Elder Scrolls. It’s a method that worked for a long time, as Tamriel all but forgot about Lep Seclusa, Hel Netu, and the mysterious scrolls they held. But as you might guess, there are no secrets that last forever. As the dungeon content unfolds, Orpheon the Tactician and his deserter army have somehow learned about Lep Seclusa, and they believe that the prophecy on the scroll hidden here is the key to their control of Ruby Throne and the empire, so they will use all means to obtain the scroll, and what you have to do is to stop Orpheon and his army when they attack and defend Lep Seclusa with Moth Priests together. Dungeon 2 Exiled Redoubt Unlike Lep Seclusa’s own mysterious story, the relevant plot of Exiled Redoubt is much simpler and the difficulty level will be more friendly. Exiled Redoubt is the underground fortress of a former noble Cato Albus in ESO. He seems to be planning some ulterior conspiracy here, because the plot will tell you that many Alliance War veterans have disappeared here. What you have to do next is to fight in the dungeon with Battlemage Lucilla while investigating, find out the reason for the disappearance of veterans, and crush Cato Albus’s plan. After completing the dungeon, you will receive gold, unique dye, a monster mask, and three armor sets for each class of equipment as rewards. Don’t Miss ESO Direct! In order to let players know the next plan of the game in 2025, as well as the effects and feedback of the recent update rhythm and content changes, Elder Scrolls Online plans to hold an ESO Direct starting at 3:00 pm on Thursday, April 10. The reason why you are recommended not to miss this Direct and related programs is that on the one hand, it should reveal more new information about Fallen Banners DLC, as well as some content related to update 46; on the other hand, after watching the Direct and the program, you will have the opportunity to get Twitch Drops, including 150% XP scrolls for watching the live broadcast for 15 minutes and Skill Respecification scrolls for watching the program for 30 minutes. In addition, the one-year ESO 10th anniversary celebration, which started in April last year, has not yet ended, so the event will announce the bonus code set in this live broadcast, which you can use to redeem the 10th anniversary exclusive monkey pet in the game! In short, whether you are a new or old player of ESO, 2025 is definitely the year you should pay the most attention and energy to the game. I hope you can have a great gaming experience!

Some time ago, ZeniMax, the developer of Elder Scrolls Online, announced that it would no longer release annual expansions for it, but would instead switch to seasonal expansions. This topic caused a widespread discussion among players. But in fact, this confident developer has changed the game that has been released for more than ten years more than we can imagine. On March 10, you will experience the new Cyrodiil Champions PVP campaign, the revamped starting area, and more complete quality of life improvements in Elder Scrolls Online. These are the features and changes that many ESO players dream of. Of course, the new features and improvements provided in this ESO Update 45 have not only had some impact on itself, some of them can even affect the current MMO game market, such as the addition of a Xbox Series X|S add-on. This is definitely not an exaggeration. If you don’t believe it, then follow this guide to list the improvements and impacts of you. General Improvements First of all, the most important change in Update 45 is the PVP changes in Cyrodiil. Because players have complained too much about server performance during the long-term exploration process, this update brings a new Cyrodiil Champions PVP campaign to all players. Unlike other campaigns, this Cyrodiil Champions will lock players into a special class build, which means that you cannot make corresponding changes to your attributes, abilities, or even items. From a developer’s perspective, this will allow the development team to monitor the server’s response to the simplified abilities and collect a lot of game data to help them plan the future of Cyrodiil and character abilities. For those high-level players, this challenging gameplay may make them feel more excited and accomplished. But that doesn’t mean ZeniMax has given up on the possibility of new players flocking to Elder Scrolls Online, as it has also taken another step in improving the experience for these players in PVE, such as Betnikh, Stros M’kai, Bleakrock, Bal Foyen and Khenarthi’s Roost zones will all undergo a very big improvement. Brighter game environments, a better overall atmosphere, new organic clutter and updated signage will make this ESO, which has been released for more than ten years, more vibrant. In addition, ZeniMax will also increase the starting speed of current mounts in the game, which will be more beneficial for players who have a very slow movement speed or farm ESO Gold. Advanced Improvements In addition to the above regular improvements, you can also expect to see the addition of new item sets and changes to the map: some customizable waypoints may be launched later, and disguises will become your collection in ESO instead of taking up space in your bank. This is great news for players who are not very skilled at picking up Elder Scrolls Online loot that suits them, because they won't often face the situation of running out of inventory space during exploration. Although not part of ESO Update 45, the two dungeons in Fallen Banners DLC, Exiled Redoubt and Lep Seclusa, may provide a better platform for players who love challenges. Most importantly, the storylines and themes of these two dungeons are completely different, and the gaming experience you have in them is completely different. In addition, ZeniMax has now announced that ESO’s add-on components on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 are in preparation and have been tested by developers, which may be big news for MMO gaming industry. Because in the long-term cognition of players, such games are more convenient to play with a mouse and keyboard, and a series of explorations with a handle to control the character may catch people off guard.  So once Elder Scrolls Online, which has been released for more than a decade and is dedicated to updating, successfully makes these add-ons on the game console, it will have a significant reference for other MMOs to improve the player experience on the game console. Summary ESO has cancelled the previous annual chapter update in Update 45, but it has brought more frequent seasonal game content updates to players. I think this is also a major change made by this long-standing MMO to adapt to the current game environment. We can fully look forward to what kind of surprises we will have in this game content and mechanism that is changed every 3-6 months. In addition, we can also look forward to some add-ons that ESO is developing on Xbox Series X|S and PS5. Imagine exploring the vast Cyrodiil and other explorable areas provided by Elder Scrolls Online with a smooth handle. What a pleasure it is! The above is what this guide speculates that Elder Scrolls Online wants to convey to players and the current game world in Update 45. But no matter what, the spirit of ESO’s pursuit of change is very suitable for various current MMO games to learn from, because only innovation can attract more new players and inject new vitality into itself. I wish you a happy game!

Welcome, fellow players! This time, I'll be reviewing some of the tank-related changes that appear in the upcoming Gold Road chapter in the patch notes of Elder Scrolls Online. Let me start by telling you that the Necromancer's Restoring Tether ability is receiving a 14% healing boost, aiming to align it more closely with similar healing abilities according to ESO spreadsheets. Blood Magic The Sorcerer's Blood Magic also receives a significant buff. Previously, this passive restored 10% of max HP whenever you dealt damage with a dark magic ability. From a tank's perspective, this meant you'd only proc Crystal Weapon, and then your next 2 light attacks would heal you for 10% of max HP. Now, it triggers whenever you cast a non-free dark magic ability. While it's a slight nerf for Crystal Weapon as it only procs once per cast instead of twice, you'll now also heal for 10% whenever you cast Firebrand, Shout, Dark Deal, and Daedric Refuge, which adds up, especially since Dark Deal and Vibrant Shroud already provide healing. Ayleid Refuge Let's begin with a discussion on sets, starting with the Ayleid Refuge. This heavy set, obtainable from Overland in West Wield, offers an intriguing perk: an 11% damage reduction for 3 seconds after blocking an attack. It's worth noting that tanks typically shy away from defensive item sets, largely because of the lack of compelling options in this category. However, the Ayleid Refuge shows some promise, albeit modest. While additional damage mitigation against blockable attacks may seem redundant, the set's potential lies in its ability to mitigate damage from other sources, such as DoT effects, following a successful block. Therefore, while it may not revolutionize tanking strategies, it could still prove beneficial in certain encounters. Lucent Echoes The next set I'll introduce is Lucent Echoes, originating from the new trial Lucent Citadel. Above 50% HP, it boosts allies' critical damage and healing by 11%. Below 50% HP, it grants a hefty 20% damage mitigation buff to the wearer. It's also essential to prepare for some ESO Gold in advance before the new chapter. This set may replace the Elemental Catalyst in trial compositions. While its crit damage bonus is slightly lower than Elemental Catalyst's potential 15%, it's manageable since some groups only require crit damage from 2 elements. With Lucent Echoes, we're at 101% of the crit damage cap of 125%. Arcanists reach 12% from Fated Fortune passive, while Wardens achieve similar values with 3 Animal Companions abilities. Templars and Nightblades gain 10% crit damage from class passives, reaching the cap with 7 medium pieces. Xoryn's Masterpiece Everything discussed regarding the replacement of the Elemental Catalyst remains valid. Xoryn's Masterpiece, the light healer set from the new trial, is unlikely to be utilized on tanks, but I included it for consideration as fitting support sets in team compositions is a collaborative effort. While it may occasionally land on a tank, its primary function is to grant 1,667 max stamina and magicka to all allies within 28 meters, equivalent to 158 weapon and spell damage. This makes it a weaker version of the Perfected Vestment of Olorime. Rourken Steamguards Next, let's discuss the Rourken Steamguards. While they might initially seem useless, the concept behind them was fascinating, despite their poor execution. These Mythic gloves introduce a Parrying mechanic to blocking, rewarding players for raising their block right before an attack hits. Ideally, this mechanic would be an innate part of ESO combat rather than limited to a Mythic item. However, the issue lies because this Mythic only grants increased damage mitigation for a brief period. At that point, it seems more efficient to dodge the attack entirely. A successful Parrying mechanic with Mythic should offer additional benefits, such as resource restoration, buffs, or enemy debuffs, rather than just providing a temporary damage reduction. The 10-second cooldown further diminishes its effectiveness, as players would need to refrain from blocking for a significant period.

Elder Scrolls Online will introduce a new class in this year, the powerful and mysterious Arcanist class. It derived directly its abilities and mechanics from Hermaeus Mora’s realm of Oblivion. The Arcanist will be the seventh class in ESO, the first new class added since the Necromancer in 2019's Elsweyr Chapter. Players will definitely feel the charm of magical superpowers when using this class. At the same time, players can also unlock more new classes, new characters and new areas of exploration. The new classes not only have new character types but also brand new game mechanics. Among them, Crux is a combat mechanism that can activate this Arcanist class. The more Crux you have, the more powerful your character skills become. This has the advantage that players can develop their own gameplay based on their game strategy. Along with this combat mechanism, it derives three unique skills: Herald of the Tome: Manipulate arcane energies to bombard your foes with damaging blasts, beams, and more. This will be the main offensive skill line for the Arcanist and you'll probably be using it a lot if you're playing as a DPS role. Curative Runeforms: Make use of healing runes to keep yourself and your group healthy and shield your allies from damage. This skill line is primarily focused on support and healing, so it will probably see the most use by healers and tanks. Apocryphal Soldier: This skill line helps you to play defensively and protect your allies, and also allows you to dominate your foes' attentions and buff yourself and your group's defensive capabilities. It is likely that this skill will contain a taunt ability and be used mostly by tanks. These skills will be applicable to different types of players, whether offensive, to support, and defense, or destructive, restorative, or defensive magic. This class will apply to players of all roles, even including DPS, support, and tank. Like many previous skills, the skills of these class are also a mixture of active, passive, and ultimate abilities. So, how can players get this new class? It will release arcanist class on PC with the new expansion Necrom on June 5th. Console players will be able to see the new expansion on June 20th. Players need to first acquire a Necrom expansion pack with ESO Gold to unlock Arcanist class. You can also get other new classes in the in-game Crown Store after you get the expansion pack. You can find this class under “Upgrades” then “Class”. After your upgrade is complete, you can create new Arcanist class characters.
