Maximizing Loot Gains: A Guide to Completing The Oblivion Portal Event

In 2024, Elder Scrolls Online not only held a grand 10th anniversary celebration in the first half of the year, but also announced a number of new changes that will be implemented one by one in 2025 at the end of the year, in order to bring you a different ESO world. In order to verify and implement these new contents, the game will first hold a reveal live broadcast this week to reveal the first part of the game updates in 2025, including basic game updates and an overview of the new dungeon DLC. In addition, we will also provide you with additional information on the rewards you can get in the game by logging in on time and working hard in the near future, to help you get the available ESO Gold in time and encourage you to continue playing Elder Scrolls Online. New Reveal Stream According to the latest news, ESO team will broadcast live at 2:00 pm Eastern Time on Thursday, January 9 to reveal the first part of the 2025 game update content for you. You’ll be able to get the latest updates on the game from ESO developers, including Lead Encounter Designer Mike Finnigan and Lead Combat and PVP Designer Brian Wheeler, who will be attending the livestream. As the first announcement of 2025, this livestream mainly covers base game updates and new dungeon DLC, which is small in scale, but major announcements will be released in April to give you a further understanding of major changes to Elder Scrolls Online in the future and how the past annual chapter mechanics will gradually exit the game. In addition, you will learn about some completed new content and scattered information in the near future, as well as the remaining content of the year-long ESO 10th Anniversary Celebration that started in April last year as an extra surprise. ESO Login Rewards With 2025, the January login rewards for Elder Scrolls Online have also been released. These include not only daily login and claim rewards but also additional rewards to make up for server bugs in December. The first two days of January are dominated by server compensation rewards, which brought you 1,000 Seals of Endeavor and 5 Grand Coast Experience Scrolls. These items are upgraded versions of the original login rewards, and you can get increased XP gains by claiming them. After entering Day 4, you can enjoy the new Crown lessons that brought you to upgrade your mount experience until Day 6. First, the three lessons on Day 4 can increase your mount’s riding speed, and the three lessons on Days 5 and 6 can increase your mount’s riding stamina and riding ability, respectively. These mount buffs can improve your travel experience, allowing you to reach any destination in Tamriel faster and better equipped than before. In addition, you will be given some winter furniture through login rewards this month, including Nord Candle, Antler, Nord Brazier, Nord Drinking Horn and Display, which can be claimed on Days 7, 14 and 21 of this month, respectively. Although the claim dates of these furniture items are relatively scattered and it takes a while to collect them, they can indeed bring you a cozy winter-themed home atmosphere. Once you’ve claimed these rewards, the rest of the month will bring you more XP scrolls and the possibility of additional rewards, which will be available starting in January 2025 to help you get started on your ESO journey in the new year. If you bring a companion along on your adventure, they can help you complete the leveling process more efficient.

As this year’s ESO Anniversary Jubilee Event is in full swing, many people are wondering where to farm Anniversary Gift Boxes most efficiently. That’s where this guide comes in. Here, we’ll provide you with the 5 best ways to help you get the most drops. Without further ado, let’s get started! Complete Crafting Writs First and foremost is Crafting Writs. Crafting Writs is a repeatable quest in ESO that any certified crafter who is at least level 6 can perform. Completing Crafting Writs will reward ESO Gold, XP, Gift Box, and profession inspiration. Each profession can complete one Writ per day. If you’ve been saving materials, Crafting Writs has to be your fastest way to get Gift Boxes at 7 drops in 3-5 minutes, and you can do these on all characters. Grinding Dolmens The second best way to farm is grinding Dolmens. Dolmens is not only the first choice for XP farming but also one of the important event item drop locations for these popular events. Alik’r Desert Dolmen In Alik’r Desert, expect a full circle to take about 5 minutes, and if you deal at least 3% damage, you can get a Gift Box from each boss’s corpse. And you can use area damage skills before the boss appears to increase your chances, but if there are enough people, it will be difficult to consistently get drops. Other Dolmens If you don’t get drops in this area, head to the closer and quieter area from Dolmens to Wayshrines. In quieter areas, they take a little longer to complete, taking about 7 minutes to complete the circuit. If you’re able to deal enough damage, your drop rate will increase significantly. So are there additional benefits to running Dolmens? If your final Dolmen boss is a group of 3 enemies, you can get up to 3 boxes in a Dolmen and encounter these multiple bosses in a row in a circuit. So you might get up to 9 Anniversary Boxes in about 7 minutes. But it has to be said that this situation is rare. Kill Dragons Also, in this event, you can get boxes by killing a dragon quickly. On average, it only takes a minute or less to defeat each dragon. But depending on the number of players, you might have trouble consistently finding them in time, and you’ll spend more time moving from a spot to other and waiting for them to spawn than actually fighting them. Harrowstorms & Volcanic Vents If you want a change of scenery, or you’re tired of constantly dealing damage to Dolmens and Dragons, try Harrowstorms and Volcanic Vents which will net you 1 Gift Box every 3 minutes. What’s more, the drops will appear in the final drop chest, rather than the boss itself. This means that whenever you launch an attack, you will receive Anniversary Box. Note that for Dragons, Harrowstorms, and Volcanic Vents, smaller areas are ideal for shorter travel distances. World Bosses Finally, since World Bosses have a 5-minute respawn time, you can focus on one boss and get 1 box every 5 minutes. In order to get close to Dolmen rates, you need to go around in a circle as you would do Dolmens. You can do this by checking out other bosses while waiting to respawn, or by heading to a quiet area and selecting 3 bosses to cycle through. I will remind you that although World Bosses in the base game are easier, Vvardenfell World Bosses offer additional event-specific drops, which also add an extra reason to go there. Drops from World Bosses in the northeastern part of Vvardenfell go into chests, so this makes it the easiest to get drops from. Don’t forget, Incursions and World Bosses can also be paired with Daily Quests to earn another Anniversary Box. Finally, I would say don’t spend too much time on Dolmens because activity burnout is real. You can mix in other activities to prevent yourself from burning out. Daily quests like Dungeons, Tales of Tribute, Delves, and others all take quite a while to earn drops, but are still an option to change the number of repeats. Regardless, I hope this information helps you get more Anniversary Gift Boxes! Please enjoy the rest of the event. See you next time!

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

By now, you’re all aware of the exciting news. The developers recently launched ESO Plus Free Trial event, which will last until Wednesday, June 19, 2024 at 10:00 AM EDT. ESO Plus includes some significant features, but if you don’t normally subscribe because of price or game time, you might be wondering which quick or important feature unlocks you should focus on during the current Free Trial. This guide has everything you need to know about instant unlocks, including what they are and where to get them so you can get them during ESO Plus Trial! We’ll also show you the best uses for ESO Plus Trial, what things you should prioritize during your trial, and what will and won’t work after Free Trial is over. Before we get into the details, remember to activate it from Crown Store under ESO Plus tab while Free Trial is available. Keeping And Refining Your Materials If your character has a Craft Bag, make sure to log in and move their stuff into Craft Bag. This way, anything in the bag will stay in the bag even after Free Trial ends, so use it while it’s available! You can also use this Trial to refine your raw materials, preferably on a character with the best Refining passive skill and Meticulous Disassembly CP passive slotted. Unlocking Instant Dungeon Collectibles First, let’s look at Dungeon collectibles, all of which are unlocked by entering 1 of the 2 dungeons included in each Dungeon DLC. You don’t even need to complete the dungeon, just enter it! Visit Ruins of Mazzatun or Cradle of Shadows and you’ll get Heroic Personality. Enter Falkreath Hold or Bloodroot Forge to get Bull Horns Emote. Enter Fang Lair or Scalecaller Peak to get Renegade Dragon Priest Mask. Unlock Werewolf Hunter Hat by entering Moon Hunter Keep or March of Sacrifices. Enter Frostvault or Depths of Malatar and you’ll get Ayleid Royal Crown. Step into Lair of Maarselok or Moongrave Fane to unlock Dread-Aurelian Mask. Visit Unhallowed Grave or Icereach to get Wickerman Mishap Emote. Enter Castle Thorn or Stone Garden to get Energetic Dwarven Shock-Spider. Enter Cauldron or Black Drake Villa to use Fire-Forged Maul Weapon Style. After entering Red Petal Bastion or Dread Cellar, Scorion Pyreling Non-Combat Pet will be added to your collection. After entering Coral Aerie or Shipwright’s Regret, you will get these Abyssal Embrace Face Markings. After entering Earthen Root Enclave or Graven Deep, Mulberry Hermit Crab will be added to your collection. However, Scribes of Fate and Scions of Ithelia Dungeons do not offer any Exploration Achievements. Unlocking DLC Zone Collectible DLC zones also have their own treasures, some of which are as easy as visiting a major city: Wrothgar You can get Echalette Pet by entering Orsinium in Wrothgar. Thieves Guild In Thieves Guild DLC, you can unlock Jackal Pet by entering Abah’s Landing. If you take the time to complete the first zone story quest, you’ll also get Thieves Guild Leathers. Dark Brotherhood Dark Brotherhood unlocks Assassin Personality by entering Gold Coast zone, and completing the second zone story quest will add Shrouded Armor Costume to your collection. Clockwork City Dovah-Fly pet is unlocked by entering Brass Fortress in Clockwork City. There are also 3 side quests available from Outlaws Refuges that will give you supply recipes. You can also rebuild Precursor Target Dummy, but this is a bit time consuming and not worth the effort. This Target Dummy won’t give you accurate numbers when parsed, but it’s a nice cosmetic addition. Murkmire This colorful Haj Mota pet is unlocked by entering Lilmoth in Murkmire for the first time. Southern Elsweyr Entering Southern Elsweyr for the first time unlocks Topal Corsair Hat, and you can also complete zone side quests to unlock additional pages if you like that style. If you complete the zone story quest, you can unlock Mask of Alkosh Hat and Za’ji’s Dragonguard Uniform. Markarth Entering Reach Zone for the first time unlocks Arkthzand Anfractuosity Shroud. There is also a side quest in Karthwasten called After the Storm that grants you Reach Rebel Face Markings. The last zone story quest has matching Body Markings. And you can unlock Witchwise Headdress Collectible Hat by completing the 4th zone story quest. Deadlands In Deadlands, you will unlock Oblivion Explorer’s Headwrap when you enter Fargrave for the first time. Firesong When you first enter Galen, you’ll unlock Firesong Obsidian Mask. You’ll also unlock matching Face and Body Markings and Phoenix Moth pet after completing the zone story quest. Other Uses For ESO Plus Trial In addition, other simple and worthwhile things you can do during ESO Plus Trial include: If you take the time to complete Daily Crafting Writs, stock up on Craft Bags! You can get basic style Stones, Potency Runes and Ta Runes, Alchemy, Ingredients, and any other long-term materials you might need from Crafting Vendors for 15 ESO Gold each. Unlock Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Psijic Skill Lines for each of your characters. Collect Skyshards, Lorebooks, and unlock exploration, questing dyes, and achievements in areas you wouldn’t normally be able to access. Dye your clothing! This is something that you do for every character, so the same clothing may dye differently on different characters. If you have a companion expansion, you can also dye their clothing. On top of that, take advantage of the 2x furnishing limits in your home to complete treasure maps in areas you wouldn’t normally be able to access. If you have Antiquities rank, dig for clues that would otherwise be inaccessible. Finally, let’s talk about the more time-consuming uses of ESO Plus Trial. You can collect 4-man DLC dungeon set pieces. Remember to bind them when you get any you haven’t collected yet to minimize duplication. You can also fully explore and complete zone maps, completing DLC ​​Trials to earn gear drops and achievements. Completing 2 public dungeon group events in each expansion zone grants 1 skill point. You can also stockpile DLC Daily Coffers on multiple characters. Newer zones have a 20-hour cooldown on Motifs Page drops in the daily reward container, so you can collect a bunch of boxes and stop opening them after you get Motifs Page. Doing this will allow you to continue to earn those Motifs even after Trial ends. What Features Will Continue To Work After Trial Ends? So, what features will continue to work and what will no longer work after Trial ends or you stop paying for ESO Plus? Firstly, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood and Psijic Skill Lines will continue to exist, allowing you to continue to loot Thieves Troves and Psijic Portals, and Blade of Woe will continue to function. You can still assign and unassign skill points in Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Psijic Skill, Scrying, and Excavation skill trees, but you cannot develop them further, and they are only available on the character you unlocked them for. If you no longer own Greymoor, Antiquities System will stop working after Trial ends. Fortunately, houses acquired in DLC zones will continue to work. The only difference is that when leaving a house, you will not enter DLC zone, but teleport back to the location you were in when you went to the house. Note that since Jewelry Crafting skill line requires Summerset, after ESO Plus expires, you can no longer access Jewelry Crafting Station if you do not own this DLC. So definitely consider completing those valuable research traits when you have access! If you don’t plan on keeping your ESO Plus, remember to set your priorities. I recommend getting the instant unlocks first, then focusing on what you think is most important. Just a reminder, all collectibles are account-wide unlocks! Anyway, hopefully you get all the exceptional free stuff, and this guide will help you find and unlock them! Good luck!
