Unleashing the Gates of Oblivion: A Guide to ESO's 2023 Celebration Event

Elder Scrolls series, with its fascinating story and highly free gameplay, once became the benchmark for open world games, and until 2025, this series still has a large number of loyal fans. Although Elder Scrolls 4 and 5 are very good, they only show players a small part of the world. Elder Scrolls Online continues to improve this world with continuous updates. The update 46 of Elder Scrolls Online will arrive. There is no doubt that this will be a major update. A lot of content will be announced in Elder Scrolls Online 2025 Direct. At that time, players will learn more about the new direction of Elder Scrolls Online, new features and modes, details of quarterly updates, and other things to look forward to. April In Elder Scrolls Online April will be very busy for Elder Scrolls Online, with various activities, rewards, the prologue quest of Update 46, 11th anniversary event, and the big Elder Scrolls Online Direct. The team has a roadmap for April with all the big events: April 10: Elder Scrolls Online Direct and Update 46 Prologue April 3-22: Elder Scrolls Online 11th Anniversary Event April 3-23: Elder Scrolls Online Golden Pursuits (including 3 Hero Sets) April 24-29: In-Game Bonus You can claim your daily login bonus starting April 1st, plus there are a number of bonuses to claim, including the new custom operation Murkmire Harvest!

Watch for more than 15 minutes to get 150% experience and a code for the 10th anniversary monkey as an in-game pet. What’s New In Update 46? DLC Reddit user DistanceFar7287 claims that next DLC is called Punished Dumac: A Dwemer’s Revenge. The DLC is about King Dumac Orc who survived the rampage of Dwemer. He created special Dwemer hormones that caused Nerevar to hallucinate and eventually killed him. He then came back from another dimension and he intends to take revenge on Chimer/Dunmer. The authenticity of this news remains to be verified. Although he showed a picture as evidence, the above description still has some loopholes. However, if this news is true, then players may find gold in the dungeons of the new DLC and also get new Dwemer equipment. New Area From the leaked pictures, this update will include a new area. This new area has many high elf buildings, and there are many Argonians running around in it, which is a bit strange. You know that high elves are notorious racists in Elder Scrolls, and Argonians are at the bottom. It is almost impossible for high elves to stay with Argonians, and therefore there is reason to suspect that this area is an area abandoned by high elves, and Argonians occupied this area after they left. This area will be a raid that can accommodate 12 people. You need to fight dangerous monsters and new bosses to win new rewards. Maybe it will include some high elf equipment and gold. Main Story The main story will also be promoted after the update of Update 46. Three heroes return in the trailer, and they basically represent different classes of players. The theme of Update 46 may be Seasons of the Worm Cult. Yes, this infamous cult is back again. Their secret weapon is the power of the dead, and you need to thwart their conspiracy against the entire Tamriel. You need to track down the returning worm cult. Players go to Eastmarch and find a hidden fortress where you will meet a necromancer. Then explore an island that has never been seen before. Explore the ancient Argonian ruins and find the power to end it all before Worm Cult brings destruction. In any case, I am glad that the main story is finally moving forward. The developers will launch a new chapter based on the previous story, which will bring some changes to the entire Tamriel. In addition, it is revealed that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be announced at the Summer Game Festival in 2025. Although I don’t think that The Elder Scrolls 6 can be released in 2025, it is still exciting. Elder Scrolls Online and Elder Scrolls series share a worldview, and this update of Elder Scrolls Online may have an impact on the background story of The Elder Scrolls 6.

Since its launch in 2014, Elder Scrolls Online has released a number of large expansion (often referred to as Chapters) and smaller DLC add-ons that complement the story and gameplay of the entire base game. Some time ago, the developer publicly announced that the next DLC for ESO is expected to be officially released on March 10, which may bring players more interesting game features, or some new expansion areas and storylines. However, during this relatively long wait, you can try some of the high-quality expansions in this series of games. Given that the quality of previously released expansion in terms of gameplay additions and overall storylines is uneven, this guide will introduce you to some expansions worth trying in the order of SAB Tiers, which may make your wait for new content more fulfilling. S Tier First, let’s take a look at some expansions that can be rated S Tier. They can perfectly combine storyline and gameplay, and have won unanimous praise from many players. The most worthwhile one is Morrowind, which brings the island of Vvardenfell in Morrowind province back to the game, and adds gorgeous new music that reimagines Nerevar Rising, which reminds players of many scenes in Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, with a retro atmosphere. Not only that, the dramatic scenes of Vvardenfell, the opportunity to meet Lord Vivec, and the fascinating storyline included in Morrowind are the main reasons why players voted it as one of the best expansions. Most importantly, this chapter is still free, so you may have no reason not to try it. Besides Morrowind, Thieves Guild is also very good. It can cleverly combine a great storyline with a series of potentially challenging heists, completely subverting the unconscious and repetitive task rules that often occur in MMOs, so that players can always feel a very fresh gaming experience in it. Thieves Guild is centered in Hammerfell in Abah’s Landing, which offers a lot of ESO Gold to power up your character, and is full of life, with players happy to interact with each other on small quests or trade cosmetics. If you want to choose one of the most beautiful ESO locations, it must be the island of the same name in Summerset expansion, which is the capital of Aldmeri Dominion. This add-on not only adds a lot of crafting materials and group challenges for players, but also provides a lot of new land to explore and places to discover, which will keep players exploring fresh. A Tier Compared to the expansions in S Tier, the expansions in A Tier are slightly inferior, but they are still relatively good in terms of overall lore, and all have some retro colors similar to the previous series of games. Dark Brotherhood has become the most impressive expansion in Elder Scrolls series of games because of its interesting storyline, because the main story is centered around this very popular faction. Its storyline mainly takes place in Gold Coast region of Cyrodiil and the iconic city of Kvatch, which are very important in Oblivion expansion. In fact, many players do not think that Necrom is a very good expansion because it has a very long and complicated storyline, but those who are keen on reasoning and exploration think that this is a very interesting expansion. This additional content introduces one of the most popular families among the five major families of Morrowind, Telvanni, in depth, and sets the entire story in Telvanni Peninsula of Morrowind. In addition to the overall storyline, Telvanni Peninsula in Necrom is also very legendary, and its connection to Hermaeus Mora’s plane of Oblivion, Apocrypha, makes it a very mysterious location, and continues the storyline of Shadows Over Morrowind and Secrets of Apocrypha. Orsinium expansion provides much-needed depth and insight into the location of Orsimer, even if it has very fascinating lore and culture in its own right. So with a well-written storyline, interesting side characters, and fascinating settings, Orsinium has become the most eye-catching existence in ESO’s small DLC. B Tier For the expansions and add-ons in B Tier, there may not be any specific issues with the locations and exploration areas provided, but the overall plot does not live up to the developers’ promise. For example, Elsweyr, where the exploration area is home to Khajiit, the cat-people of Tamriel, is full of diversity. Here, with multiple landscapes such as jungles, savannahs and deserts, players can experience a new exploration experience, and the overall plot also involves invading dragons and the addition of Necromancer class, but the execution of the plot is not ideal in the actual play of players, making players very disappointed. There is also High Isle, which also introduces a new area to Tamriel with unique landscapes that have never appeared in ESO lore. The visuals here are completely comparable to Summerset in S Tier. But unfortunately, its storyline development does not fully realize the promise of its background, and falls into an unpredictable trap. If you’ve tried Oblivion expansion before, Blackwood will be well worth your time, as it pays homage to that already very successful expansion in many ways, such as a very fun boss encounter that leads directly to Oblivion location after you complete it. The story takes place entirely in the area around Leyawiin in southern Cyrodiil, and the visuals here are some of the best in the entire series. What’s more, a companion system is also added in this add-on, which means you can summon two companions to help you explore. This sounds interesting, right? But in fact, the exploration difficulty in this expansion is too difficult, and not many players are willing to try the challenge, making this feature basically useless. These are some of the better expansions or small add-ons released by Elder Scrolls Online so far. You can explore them while waiting for the new DLC to come out, which may make your wait time fly quickly, and you can learn more about the legends of the continent of Tamriel from them. I wish you a happy game!

Today, I’ll guide you through the fantastic items available from the Golden Vendor in the Elder Scrolls Online. We’ll explore whether there are any valuable event ticket items in this guide. Leveraging these vendors can serve as a lucrative gold method, potentially helping you make millions. Location When it comes to locating her, you’ll find her situated in Cyrodiil. If you’re in the Blue Team, you can spot her near The Stables within the confines of Northern High Rock Gate. If you are in the Yellow Team, she’ll be positioned towards the bank in Western Elsweyr Gate. And for those in the Red Team, she’ll be stationed in Southern Morrowind Gate. Golden Vendor Items Let's take a look at the offerings from the Golden Vendor and pick some of them for gold. As usual, she's selling some monster pieces and jewelry. Jewelry When it comes to the jewelry, the Queen's Elegance set isn't particularly impressive but if you're building a heavy attack-focused character and lack of combs, this set might provide some utility. It grants a power boost upon using a fully charged heavy attack, allowing for repeated use. Still, there are better options available for heavy attack builds, so I'd suggest skipping this one. Moving on to the Heirloom Necklace, it's not eye-catching, but it's not completely lackluster either. Positioned somewhere in the middle, it offers some stamina sustain for healers in PvE. It's a viable choice if you're looking to enhance group stamina recovery. I recommend acquiring one and invest ESO Gold in it. This purchase allows for experimentation and fine-tuning on the healer character. The next item you have for jewelry is the Unleashed Amulet, part of the Unleashed Terror set. This used to be really good, but it's been nerfed quite a bit now. It's not terrible for a DoT version, and worth getting this if you want to fill up your Sticker Book. But it’s not really worth using unless you go for a super DoT build. Monster Pieces Let's talk about the Lady Thorn set. The Lady Thorn comes from a DLC dungeon, making it a potential acquisition if you're seeking DLC sets. However, its performance is rather middling. You can grab it solely to fill out the Sticker Book, saving the hassle of revisiting the dungeon. Let's then discuss the Slimeclaw. Slimeclaw stands out as an excellent choice, particularly for PvE content. If you frequently play stamina characters, having one piece of Slimeclaw in your setup is quite common. Therefore, I highly recommend acquiring this item. While it's possible to farm it, keep in mind that as a shoulder piece, you'll need to use keys, which introduce an element of chance into the process. Nonetheless, given its effectiveness, I suggest purchasing at least one of these. In PvP scenarios, its performance isn't exceptional, as there are superior monster sets available. However, for PvE enthusiasts, Slimeclaw is definitely worth adding to your collection. Infinite Archive Now, let’s go to the Infinite Archive and see if there are any good leads there. The Infinite Archive can sell leads for certain Mythic Items or antiquities, and some of those antiquities can be quite annoying to farm, especially the ones tied to daily quests. Both leads are really hard to get, so it’s always worth checking it out. The trader in Infinite Archive is located in the Far East, and he’s called Filur. Filur sells two leads typically, and then some decoration bits. This week, he has a blue furniture and a gold lead for the Dwarven Hinges. My recommendation would be to save your resources for this week.

The Witches Festival has returned to The Elder Scrolls Online, bringing with it a plethora of treats, rewards, and festivities for players to enjoy. This guide delves into the heart of the event, detailing how to acquire rewards, event tickets, the contents of reward skulls, what the event stores offer, and provides insights into the 100% experience (EXP) bonus. As ESO adventurers prepare to embrace the spooky spirit of the Witches Festival, let's explore what's in store. The Introductory Quest: To embark on the Witches Festival adventure, players can obtain the introductory quest from the Crown Store. The quest involves interacting with Witchmother Olyve and collecting items such as Pumpkin, Guts, and Essence of Death from delve bosses. These components are integral to the event and initiate the festive atmosphere. 100% EXP Boost Clarification: Previous festivals provided players with a whistle that granted a 100% EXP boost upon completion of the introductory quest. However, in this year's festival, the experience boost seems to be linked to a scroll rather than the whistle itself, possibly due to a misunderstanding on the Public Test Server (PTS). Upon the event's official launch, players are advised to use the whistle to verify if the intended EXP boost is functioning correctly. Skulls, Tickets, and Reward Boxes: Acquiring Dremora Plunder Skulls and event tickets is central to the Witches Festival. Boss kills yield two tickets, while Dremora Plunder Skulls can be obtained from initial boss kills, offering a golden skull, and subsequent kills providing purple skulls. This structure applies to both world bosses and dungeon final bosses. Contents of Dremora Plunder Skulls: Dremora Plunder Skulls house an array of enticing rewards, including runeboxes with mementos, Witches Festival crafting motifs, alchemy supplies, baits, eerie furnishings, recipes, style materials, saleable treasures, crafting writs, treasure maps, and the coveted Ghost Netch Pet. The Role of Impresario: The Impresario plays a pivotal role in the Witches Festival, offering a diverse range of items in various locations. These locations include base game areas like Glenumbra, Auridon, Stonefalls, Craglorn, and Vvardenfell, as well as DLC locations such as Summerset, Blackwood, Northern Elsweyr, Western Skyrim, High Isle, and Telvanni Peninsula. And here is the full list of the store’s items: Passion Dancer Blossom Pet Hoardhunter Ursauk Crowborne Hunter outfit style Vampiric Lamp, Azure Tall Vampiric Lightpost, Azure Single Hollowjack Lantern, Ouroboros Ruby Candlefly Gathering Webs, Cone Specimen Jar, Spare Brain Vampiric Container, Yellow Liquid Ghost Netch Pet (10 Possessed Shred) Tome of Forbidden Appetites (Runebox: Face-Eating Tome Memento) All three pet fragments will be available during the event. And the first fragment for the Mount will be available, too. All you need to do is prepare enough ESO Gold. Also, the Impresario has bound pages for the Crowborne Hunter outfit style for 5 tickets each. Plus, some spooky furnishings and Witches grab bags, that can contain: Passion Dancer Blossom Pet Festival masks Apple-Bobbing Cauldron Fragments Skeletal Marionette Memento Parts Throwing Bones Memento Fragments Marshmallow Toasty Treat Emote Hoardhunter Ursauk Witch’s Bonfire Dust Memento Ghastly Visitation Memento Bonedust Pigment for the Witch-Tamed Bear Dog Bound style pages for the Witchmother's Servant outfit Indrik Vendor's Offerings: The Indrik Vendor, located near Belkarth in Craglorn, brings players the opportunity to acquire feathers for the Nascent Indrik Mount, berries for transforming it into the Crimson Indrik Mount, and additional berries for the Pure-Snow Indrik. The vendor's offerings extend to Crimson Indrik Mounts and two Indrik pets, enriching the event experience. Impresario's Assistant and the Dagonic Quasigriff Mount: Found in Impresario's Tents, the Impresario's Assistant contributes to the event's excitement by selling three fragments for the Dagonic Quasigriff Mount, promising players a unique and alluring reward.
