News Tag: Elder Scrolls Online Gold

Halloween is approaching, and various games have already started their Halloween events, including Elder Scrolls Online. This Friday's update also features updated items for Luxury Furnisher and Golden Vendor.

Both vendors appear for a limited time, and the items they sell have some practical value. If you have enough gold in your wallet, you might want to check out what they have in the 43rd week, 2025.

Luxury Furnisher

Luxury Furnisher is located at Cicero's Food & General Goods in Coldharbour. Note that he only appears on weekends. Last week, he offered statues, while this week he's offering darker items like skeletons and witch totems.

Note that the items he sells are unbound, so you can sell them to other players, provided they don't depreciate in value. Let's take a look at some interesting items.

• Bone Sculpture, Circular: 3,000 Gold. Perfect for room decoration if you are a bone and skull enthusiast.
• Crow Totem, Gruesome: 4,000 Gold, value decreases over time.
• Reach Totem, Gathered Staves: 2,000 Gold, new item, but a bit ugly.
• Reach Totem, Twig Crescent: 3,000 Gold, somewhat ugly furniture, may depreciate.
• Reach Totem, Twig Raven: 3,000 Gold, decent decoration, can appreciate in value.
• Tree, Treehenge Green Lady: 50,000 Gold, large and cool, but requires a lot of gold.
• Warning Totem, Skulls: 2,500 Gold, also somewhat ugly furniture, may depreciate.
• Witch's Torch, Wretched: 5,000 Gold, looks nice, but there are many similar shiny items in the game.
• Witch's Totem, Bog: 50,000 Gold, although less valuable than before, it creates a green miasma effect and is a rather creative piece of furniture.
• Witch's Tree, Captive: 35,000 Gold, value has decreased slightly, but the fluctuation is minimal.
• Witch's Tree, Charred: 5,000 Gold, value fluctuation is minimal.

Golden Vendor

Golden Vendor sells the BIS set, but requires significantly more Elder Scrolls Online gold than Luxury Furnisher. Golden Vendor is located at Western Elsweyr Gate and will disappear on October 27th.

Crafty Alfiq (125,000 Gold)

Source: Northern Elsweyr

Set Benefits:

• (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
• (3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
• (4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
• (5 items) Adds 2550 Maximum Magicka

Provides a considerable amount of Magicka, making it an excellent PvP set in metas dominated by Max Stat builds. However, in the current meta, Max Stat builds are becoming less popular, with Max Crit and high-burst builds becoming the mainstream. Furthermore, the related skills have been nerfed, causing its status to decline. However, it remains a top-tier set in suitable builds, though its utility has been reduced in the current meta.

Frozen Watcher (200,000 Gold)

Source: Depths of Malatar Dungeon Set

Set Benefits:

• (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
• (3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
• (4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
• (5 items) Summon a blizzard around you while you are Bracing, inflicting Frost Damage (damage scaled with your maximum health)

This armor set is quite cool, but the damage isn't great. The health stacking mechanic doesn't mesh well with other mechanics, and Chilled Status Effect removal isn't very practical. Overall, it's a bit flashy and lacks practicality.

Mighty Glacier (200,000 Gold)

Source: Frostvault Dungeon Set

Set Benefits:

• (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
• (3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
• (4 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery, Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
• (5 items) When you use an immobilize or root skill, grants you and your allies a Major Resolve buff, increasing resistances.

The core drawback of this set is that Major Resolve buff is a named buff that doesn't stack, making it easy for players to gain it from their own abilities or team support, thus overriding the set's benefits and wasting them.

Senchal Defender (125,000 Gold)

Source: Southern Elsweyr

Set Benefits:

• (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
• (3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
• (4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
• (5 items) Builds stacks through non-heavy attacks, then restores a significant amount of mana and stamina with a Fully Charged Heavy Attack.

Senchal Defender is suitable for resource-intensive PvE tanks or PvP players who need to restore both mana and stamina. It's not a mainstream (non-meta) item in the current meta, as players have more alternative resource recovery methods, such as potions and other set items.

Balorgh (100,000 Gold)

Source: March of Sacrifices Monster Set

Set Benefits:

• (1 item) Increases weapon and spell damage by 129.
• (2 items) After using the ultimate ability, gain significant weapon and spell damage and physical/spell penetration for 12 seconds.

This monster set is widely considered the BIS for PvP. Because Ultimate abilities are frequently used in PvP, its effects are fully utilized, resulting in high burst damage and easy builds for both beginners and veterans.

Black Gem Monstrosity (100,000 Gold)

Source: Monster Set from Black Gem Foundry event

Set Benefits:

• (1 item) Adds 1487 Offensive Penetration
• (2 items) After using Soul Magic ability in combat, your next light or heavy attack launches a fragment, dealing magic damage based on the target's maximum health.

Black Gem Monstrosity is a gank set, suitable for playstyles that seek instantaneous bursts. It can be reliably triggered by scribing skills and easily combined with other guaranteed proc effects to create a powerful burst. However, some players feel that its damage type (magic damage) is not as good as oblivion damage. Overall, even if it is not as good as Balorgh, it is still a worthwhile set.

The above is the general content of this week's merchants. If there are furniture or sets that you don't have yet, you can supplement them. You can also invest in some popular furniture to earn some gold, but remember to hurry.

Previously, when we outlined Elder Scrolls Online's July roadmap, we provided a glimpse into Update 47 and the new dungeons that will launch alongside it. Now, they're finally launching on August 18th (on PC & Mac)!

Note that the update will launch on September 3rd for Xbox and PlayStation platforms, and only Update 47 is completely free to play. To play the two new dungeons in the pack, you'll need 2025 Content Pass, 2025 Premium Edition, or an ESO Plus membership.

With that in mind, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of Update 47 and the new dungeons so you can decide whether they're worth playing.

Update 47 Basic Upgrades

This update doesn't add any significant new features to gameplay or major game modes. Instead, it focuses on improving overall game flow and overall experience, focusing on details like quality of life.

Water-Capable Mounts

Previously, when traveling between locations on a mount to increase travel speed and farm ESO gold faster, you'd have to dismount if you encountered water along the way.

While this didn't take too long, it became inconvenient over time. Update 47 introduces a new feature that allows you to ride any mount directly through water - just be careful not to expose it to attacks from aquatic creatures.

While this sounds like a simple skill, the game still required customizing the water-capturing animations and sounds for each mount, making it a relatively complex task for the developers.

Playback NPC Voiceovers

Across the vast continent of Tamriel, there are numerous NPCs of various races. Some can guide you in basic survival skills, while others will introduce you to new or existing lore.

To enhance the immersive experience as you interact with them, Elder Scrolls Online provides voiceovers for most characters. However, sometimes you might miss these captivating narrations due to distraction or other reasons.

Update 47 addresses this issue by adding an option for your character to replay the most recent voiceover of NPC who you're currently speaking with. On-screen narration has also been added to avoid overlapping with NPC voiceovers.

Making Survey Reports Stackable

In the previous update, ESO introduced stacking for Master Writs to streamline your inventory. Similar stacking mechanisms can be applied to more items, such as Survey Reports, to ensure a consistently streamlined inventory.

Survey Reports are effectively rewards for crafting Writs, available to characters of all levels. Adding stacking functionality will allow you to carry more reports easily, making it easier to utilize and trade them on the go.

Modifiable Infinite Archive Visions

As one of ESO's core PvE gameplay features, Infinite Archive spawns waves of random enemies and bosses in ever-changing halls. You must complete challenges at increasing difficulty levels to earn rewards such as gold, class sets, and furniture.

During these challenges, Infinite Archive will randomly grant you different buffs to help you survive longer, one of which is visions. With Update 47, ESO has updated the selectable visions, giving you more control over your progress by acquiring the right visions.

New Dungeon 1: Naj-Caldeesh

As the first part of Feast of Shadows dungeon pack, Naj-Caldeesh is a lost ancient Argonian citadel that has been invaded by a sinister necromantic cult - a continuation of the story from Seasons of the Worm Cult.

Because Worm Cult destroyed Seekxilts' village in the previous story, she was forced to find Naj-Caldeesh and use it as a new home. However, this also attracted the attention of Wuj-Laxul necromancers.

Your role here is to work with your teammates to thwart the necromancers' plot. In addition to bosses and enemies, you must also be wary of dangerous traps that may appear at any time.

Completing this dungeon will give you a chance to obtain four all-new item sets, a monster mask, and special collectibles, as well as a series of achievements. If you frequently utilize your subclass in combat, Xanmeer Spellweaver light armor is worth a look.

New Dungeon 2: Black Gem Foundry

This dungeon is located in Molag Bal's Oblivion realm of Coldharbour. You can pass through a cave in Western Solstice to find the entrance to this dungeon. This cave serves as both a quarry and a forge for black soul gems.

In short, dangerous weapons and items are spawned here, and your mission is to prevent them from being acquired by Worm Cult. To do this, you'll need to defeat a series of enemies in a dungeon filled with Black Gem elements.

Enemy types worth noting in this dungeon include Quarrymaster Saldezaar, Black Gem Monstrosity, and High Soulbinder Vykand. Each poses a different threat, requiring your exceptional spatial awareness.

For example, Black Gem Monstrosity is a towering monster composed of black gems. You must constantly monitor the constant flow of lava while avoiding its highly focused beam attacks.

Fighting High Soulbinder Vykand not only tests your combat awareness, but also requires exceptional focus and memory, as well as consistent communication with your teammates.

The rewards offered at Black Gem Foundry are largely the same as those at Naj-Caldeesh. New gear, such as Lustrous Soulwell light armor set, significantly increases your team's regeneration rate when using your ultimate, making it a must-see.

That's it for Update 47 and the two new dungeons that are launching simultaneously. You'll be able to experience more details in-game once they're officially released. Thank you for reading.

Elder Scrolls Online Update 46 Seasons Part I will be officially launched on June 2. A new main storyline, new maps and the ancient villain Worm Cult will be opened.

The above are the specific effects of the new sets in Update 46 Seasons. Besides the equipment that can be crafted, other sets basically require you to farm bosses, dungeons and Dark Anchors to get them. In the process of farming these sets, you can also get a lot of resources and gold.

2025 is definitely a memorable year for all Elder Scrolls Online players. As the game enters its eleventh year, a lot of new changes have also come along, indicating that ESO will become better and more up-to-date.

Not long ago, the game launched Update 45, new DLC, and many optimizations, but the new season mode that was previously announced to be brought this year has not yet appeared - the good news is that it will meet you in June with Update 46 together!

ESO’s first season is called Seasons of the Worm Cult, which will run throughout the rest of 2025 (or even longer) and will bring more experience content with Update 46. Next, we will bring you relevant introductions.

Seasons Of The Worm Cult Part 1

It is expected that the season will be launched as a large whole in two parts, and the first part will be launched in June with Update 46, which will be launched on PC/Mac, Xbox & PlayStation series on June 2 and June 18, respectively. And this part of the new season requires you to have a content pass to experience it.

The content of this part mainly takes place in Solstice and its capital city Sunport, which is ruled by High Elf and Argonian. This city is located at the southernmost tip of Tamriel. On the surface, it is full of the romantic style of tropical islands, but under all this, there is a terrible conspiracy.

New Plot

Although it is a new season content, this part of the plot is actually a sequel to the original plot. The conspiracy of Worm Cult and Daedric Prince Molag Bal, which you destroyed in the original game, is about to make a comeback. This abominable sect, led by the new leader Wormblood, is doing evil in Solstice, and you need to repel them again.

In addition to the return of the villains, you will also have the opportunity to meet old friends in the new season’s story, such as Razum-dar, Skordo, Vanus Galerion, Gabrielle, and Prince Azah. At the same time, Seasons of the Worm Cult also bring new enemies, Argonian Behemoth, Stone Argonians, and a Daedra.

New Playable Content

In addition to new quests based on the new story, this season also provides you with other playable content, such as you can go to the west of Solstice to explore Daedric ruins, Nordic architecture in the north, and a mysterious magical carnival.

It is expected that you will encounter new bosses and dungeons during the exploration process. By completing these challenges, you can get Elder Scrolls Online Gold, 16 new Antiquities, and an additional 10% XP increase in Solstice expeditions within a year.

Interestingly, this season update has also developed a new feature, that is, at the key moments of certain tasks, you can make your character respond to NPCs in different ways, so that NPCs react differently to bring more task endings.

Update 46

Although the launch date is the same, this update is free to experience like all previous updates. The new content worth noting mainly includes subclasses, 12-person trial, a new Welcome Back feature, and more.

What Are Subclasses?

This mechanism allows you to merge the skill lines of other classes with the skill lines of the class you are currently experiencing, so that you can not only get a more diverse class experience without changing classes, but also become stronger to cope with advanced battles.

In fact, this mechanism also reflects one of the main characteristics of ESO, that is, the extremely high degree of freedom, which helps you to build your character the way you like.

As long as your character reaches level 50 after the release of Update 46, you can unlock this feature and eventually get more than 3,000 skill combinations, but unlocking other class skills and upgrading them requires double skill points.

New Trial Ossein Cage

There is a treasure house in Coldharbour, where a powerful Daedric relic named Dolorous Cista is hidden. The evil Molag Bal is trying to get it, and you need to work with your teammates to destroy the relic by completing the trial to prevent it from being taken away by the villain.

Welcome Back Feature

This feature is mainly set up for returning players. It allows you to skip those simple but tedious adventures and start experiencing new content directly, while providing good login rewards to make up for the game resources you lost during the period of not logging in.

When Can You Experience Seasons Of The Worm Cult Part 2?

Although the first part has not yet been launched, in order to satisfy your curiosity, we will bring you an introduction to the second part of the new season in advance.

The second half of the season is expected to be launched at some point in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring you to travel to the east side of Solstice after completing the tasks of the first part, and embark on an in-depth adventure while experiencing different styles, and cooperate with ancient peoples to deal with the decisive battle, to completely end the conspiracy of Worm Cult.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to challenge new world bosses, caves, a public dungeon to conquer, and get more new rewards by completing these contents, including three new mythic items.

If the information we provided is enough to arouse your interest and curiosity about the new season and updates of ESO, you might as well prepare to welcome them! Because there is not much time left to wait!

Since the end of 2024, Elder Scrolls Online has been announcing various new initiatives to show the game’s determination to become better as it enters its eleventh year. Now that 2025 has come to the fourth month, judging from the current performance, ESO has indeed fulfilled some of its promises.

First of all, Fallen Banners dungeon DLC and update 45, which have been launched, are the first major new content launched by the game in 2025. They have good overall performance and player reviews. At the 2025 Direct held on April 10, ESO announced some new news through the April roadmap. Next, we will introduce you to three of the main contents.

New Season - Seasons Of The Worm Cult

In the past few years, the way Elder Scrolls Online has updated the game content on a large scale has been to release a larger expansion or other content every year, but starting in 2025, the game decided to follow the example of some MMORPGs and switch to a seasonal content model. This will shorten the time between new content releases, and the development team will be able to flexibly adjust the next work plan based on player feedback more quickly.

Seasons Of The Worm Cult is undoubtedly the product of this change. It has landed on the PTS and is expected to be officially launched in June. From a plot perspective, it introduces a new area, the isle of Solstice, to bring a sequel to Molag Bal storyline in the original game, which takes place ten years later. What you have to do is to investigate the revival of Bal’s Worm Cult in the new area.

The isle of Solstice is located near the southern coast of Tamriel and is home to the exiled elves and Argonians. The area has Caribbean-style beaches and tropical forests. While you need to advance the main storyline, the season is expected to bring a series of new events and quests that can provide ESO Gold as rewards to ensure that you have a stable source of gold.

The season is expected to last for several months after the launch, which means that you may not see more new Elder Scrolls Online seasons this year, but this is the first season after the mode change, and it is common to need to run-in. In the coming years, seasons may be shorter, and new seasons may be launched in the form of remakes of old content, such as Dark Brotherhood.

New Subclasses Mode

In June, in addition to the new seasons, you are expected to experience the new subclass feature. It means that no matter which of the seven classes you initially choose in the game, you can also choose skills from up to two other classes’ skill lines to try. Considering the total number of classes and class skills, it is expected to bring more than 3,000 combinations.

The addition of this feature was announced at the 2025 Direct not long ago. Although the development team did not reveal more details at the time, it is certain that first of all, this feature will be unlocked when your character level reaches 50, and you also need to keep at least one skill line from the main class.

In other words, although a character can theoretically learn all non-main class skill lines, it can only actively use skills from two other class skill lines at a time. In addition, the unlocked subclass skill lines will apply to all characters in your account, and the unlocking of some class skill lines requires double skill points, but as long as you play the game frequently, this point is not difficult to obtain.

New Experimental Content

Although a lot of new content has been announced, the development team seems not satisfied with this and is still trying more possibilities. For example, they want to launch a new full-server event around this summer, based on the isle of Solstice, and set up a magic barrier called Writhing Wall here to divide Solstice into two. You and other players need to defend the island from the invasion of Worm Cult by collecting resources and finally break through the wall to unlock the second half of Solstice.

Another test content worth noting is Cyrodiil Champions, which ended on March 31. This is a test content launched by ESO for the overload problem that has existed in Cyrodiil’s PVP mode for many years. As one of the features of the game, this mode is completely necessary to be optimized.

In the test conducted from March 24 to 31, Cyrodiil Champions initially solved the original problem by significantly improving performance and greatly simplifying the skills and attributes of all players in Cyrodiil PVP mode. This not only means the success of the test, but also represents a milestone in the development process of the entire ESO. Even Cyrodiil Champions itself is expected to become a more mature in-game feature.

In addition, in order to fully ensure the gaming experience of different player groups, the game’s tutorials and novice areas are also being updated, and Welcome Back system will be launched this summer. ESO development team said that this will be a task-based and reward-oriented system.

In short, Elder Scrolls Online has proved to you with practical actions that they are indeed committed to developing the game better, and all you have to do is believe them and enjoy the game!

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! You can earn XP, new gear, and Elder Scrolls Online Gold in the next update!

In addition, Fallen Banners dungeon DLC, which was coming to update 45, will also be introduced a new way to get it in the April 10th livestream. The update 46 prologue mission is expected on April 11th, when Kinda Funny Games partners will also launch its first episode, and another weekend of battlefield domination will be launched at the end of the month.

Both streams will have Twitch Drops enabled, so you can link your account to Twitch while watching. 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.

Compared with MMORPGs such as Diablo 4 or FFXIV, which often launch new content, Elder Scrolls Online’s performance in recent years seems to be generally mediocre, but this does not mean that it has stagnated. In fact, starting from ESO’s 10th anniversary in 2024, in addition to related celebrations, the game seems to be planning to gradually show its strength in the coming time.

In addition to the new changes that have been announced and are being implemented one by one, ESO will also hold 2025 Direct on April 10, and through this live broadcast, the game will preview more new content worth surprising you. Let’s take a look at what may be!

ESO 2025 New Dynamics

Since the end of 2024, ESO development team has gradually released multiple game reform contents. The first is to change the way the game updates are released, from the past practice of releasing large-scale content updates once a year to more seasonal content models, so that you can experience new gameplay faster. Based on these overall layout plans, the first step taken by the game in 2025 is to bring you new DLC and Update 45 on March 10, and more content is expected to be released in succession.

Update 45 Introduction

The most eye-catching thing in this update is undoubtedly the optimization of PVP mode in Cyrodiil. As one of the features of Elder Scrolls Online, the large-scale PVP battles provided by this zone received a lot of attention and praise at the beginning, but soon there were bugs all year round due to server overload.

In order to improve this situation, the game brought a public test called Cyrodiil Champions on March 24 during Update 45, aiming to simplify the character’s class skills while retaining all the large-scale sieges in Cyrodiil to ensure that the entire PVP mode can run more smoothly than in the past, solve the problem of errors in your ESO Gold settlement due to lag or delay, and avoid you from losing gold.

On the other hand, in Update 45, the game will also refresh various starter zones, such as West Weald or Telvanni Peninsula, so that they are more consistent with the details of other new additions to ESO, as well as various update details for PVE mode and quality of life.

New DLC Fallen Banners

The DLC was launched on PC/Mac platforms on March 10, and then on Xbox and PlayStation platforms on March 26. Fallen Banners DLC is mainly composed of two new PVE dungeons, Lep Seclusa and Exiled Redoubt, which have different background stories but both reward you with gold and items after you complete them.

It is worth noting that in the past, as long as you subscribed to the game, you can experience all new DLCs for free, but access to Fallen Banners requires you to have an ESO Plus membership. So if you are not sure whether this DLC is worth getting, you can watch some related reviews or live videos as a reference.

Elder Scrolls series is expected to release Elder Scrolls 6 at Summer Game Fest in June 2025, and Oblivion remastered will be released earlier than you might expect. As the only game in the series that has been releasing updates, content, and lore, ESO actually gets more attention than other games in the series, and 2025 is definitely a milestone.

The direct will be live broadcasted on Thursday, April 10 at 3 pm EST, and you can watch it through Twitch and YouTube platforms.

In addition, 2025 Direct should also reveal more new information about Fallen Banners DLC, as well as some content related to Update 46.

The entire series contains 4 episodes, and the first episode will cover all the major changes announced in ESO 2025 Direct, as well as other undisclosed information.

In short, starting from January, all signs indicate that 2025 is very important for you as a player, because ESO will adjust its development plan based on the launch of new content to adapt to changes in the game market and enhance its own competitiveness. 2025 Direct is a major preview of these news, so don’t forget to watch it!

As one of the most classic MMORPGs, Elder Scrolls Online has been launched for ten years - in fact, the game also held a grand anniversary celebration in 2024. Although ESO has difficulty maintaining its popularity as more and more excellent RPGs emerge, it has been working hard to ensure the quality of the game by launching various new initiatives.

At the end of 2024, ESO announced that it would gradually implement major in-game innovations in 2025, the most prominent of which was to replace the previous annual chapter updates with more frequent seasonal updates. To fully demonstrate this transformation, Elder Scrolls Online will launch a new DLC and Update 45 in the near future.

Based on this, we will fully introduce these two new changes to you.

New DLC Fallen Banners

According to the latest news, DLC is expected to be officially released on March 10, and will set up two new explorable four-player dungeons for you, giving you the opportunity to earn more ESO Gold through new battles with your friends.

After entering the first dungeon, Exiled Redoubt, you first need to let your character join Lucilla and infiltrate the stronghold of the once powerful Albus family. You will then discover a conspiracy that plunges the people of Cyrodiil into endless war. To do this, you need to fight through multiple battles to rescue these trapped people.

The second dungeon is called Lep Seclusa, where you and your teammates need to protect Moth Priests and their precious relics from the threat of the evil boss Orpheon the Tactician and his minions.

These two dungeons, which will come with DLC Fallen Banners, offer you their own unique storylines, characters, challenges, and unique boss battles, allowing you to earn exclusive rewards by completing them. And the good news is that after March 25, you can even play this DLC on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, but the prerequisite is that you have an ESO Plus membership.

Update 45 Overview

Update 45 is expected to be released together with Fallen Banners, and it will also support multi-platform experience. Unlike the new DLC, Update 45 is completely free.

Starter Zone Refresh

If you follow the developments of Elder Scrolls Online, you will know that it is updated frequently. For example, Update 44 was released on October 28, 2024 and November 13, 2024, on different platforms, respectively. Update 45 is expected to bring more changes and overall improvements to ESO.

Undoubtedly, the most exciting addition in Update 45 will be Starter Zone Refresh, so all starting areas in Elder Scrolls Online will be completely refreshed, making them more consistent with the details of other recent additions to ESO, such as West Weald or Telvanni Peninsula.

PVP Mode Innovation

Of all the playable ESO modes, PVP has always been in a terrible state because of its unstable server performance, but as the main combat mode, PVP needs to provide you with a more refined experience. Update 45 is expected to introduce the first PVP changes in Cyrodiil.

The update will add a new Cyrodiil Champions test event to the game, which will allow ESO development team to better monitor the server’s response to simplified capabilities by locking you into specific class builds including attributes, abilities, and items, and to better plan the future of Cyrodiil regional development and PVP by collecting data, in order to bring you a more complete and smooth PVP combat experience.

Changes In PVE Mode

For PVE, the game is expected to bring a new coat of paint to Betnikh, Stros M’kai, Bleakrock, Bal Foyen, and Khenarthi’s Roost areas in Update 45, so that the lighting, overall atmosphere, and new additions including various sundries and updated signage can be improved, thereby improving the experience of new players on the one hand, and making loyal fans love the basic PVE mode more on the other hand.

Quality Of Life Improvements

This update information has not yet been fully released, and it may be known to you one by one with the official launch of Update 45. However, it is certain that the starting speed of the mount will be increased, but the maximum speed will not be greatly improved, so advanced players may not feel much difference.

Other quality of life changes include several crafting skills in Champion point tree becoming passive skills, new item sets will be added, maps will also receive some improvements, and custom waypoint markers are in development.

Besides Update 45 and the new DLC, ESO developers also said that you will experience new add-ons on Xbox Series XS and PS5 later, and they are expected to be tried on PTS starting next week.

After understanding the above information, I believe you should have an idea of ​​how to prepare for these new contents, but if you have difficulty in resource reserves, such as lack of enough gold coins, you can try to enter IGGM Discord to seek help with relevant giveaway information. Thank you for reading.

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.

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.

As a successful MMORPG, Elder Scrolls Online has maintained good popularity since its launch in 2014. To this day, an average of 30,000 players are still conducting various interesting explorations and battles on Tamriel continent every day.

If you are one of these players, then you must know that Tamriel is the main background continent in ESO. It is extremely vast, containing various game areas with different landforms and styles, and it is also the story foundation for the main storyline of the game.

But besides these contents, there are actually many rich side stories in ESO for you to complete. They not only have high-quality stories independent of the main storyline but also provide you with various props, including Elder Scrolls Online Gold as quest rewards.

Based on this, we will select 7 side quests worth completing for you among all the side quests in the current game.

1.Unearthed Quest

This quest is given to you by Foreman Gandis of Shor’s Stone Mine, who can be found in Skyrim, the cold but bustling northern region of Tamriel. He will then ask you to first free his men from Reachmen hiding in the ancient companion’s tomb.

After successfully passing the persuasion check, you can get a key to a secret door to make it faster through the mines and reach the tomb. However, the last chamber is protected by a puzzle, and this puzzle requires you to visit an antechamber to find Medallion of Fireheart, and then visit another antechamber to find Amulet of Darkhammer. Completing this will give you Gold, around 2800 XP, and Companion’s Chausses.

2. Summer Site

In the jungles of Bosmer homeland of Valenwood, you can talk to Tharuin the Melancholy near Dra’bul Wayshrine and learn that Falinesti Summer Site has been delayed in returning to the area. Tharuin explains that there have been recent lightning strikes and Daedra sightings nearby.

You then need to investigate these events. During the process, you will see a purple light emanating from a stone archway. When you approach, you will encounter a projection of a woman who seems to be trying to save the city.

She then instructs you to meet her in a small cave across a wooden bridge, which triggers a battle with Daedra. This means that the portal to Oblivion is closed and you need to start a boss fight with Tulu the Daedroth.

3. Ghostwriter Of Giovesse

Ghostwriter of Giovesse quest has a classic RPG style and starts with Author’s Assistant Wanted! flyer. In this quest, you need to provide assistance to the author Yisara, who usually appears in Egg and Hammer Inn in Gideon.

At first, it is just a simple escort mission, the purpose of which is to inspire Yisara to write the next novel. But as you progress through the quest, you’ll find that the quest plot is intertwined with Yisara’s novel ideas, leading you and Yisara to search for historical clues in the haunted halls of Castle Giovesse and solve the ultimate mystery to complete the quest.

4. Tempest Unleashed

To complete this quest, you first need to complete the prerequisite, which is to bring Maormer Ambassador Ulondil to justice. After that, you need to return to the port city of Mistral, where Sea Vipers have launched an attack on the docks and urgently need you to provide as much support as possible to the defenders.

During the counterattack, you need to clear the combatants on the docks and, under the guidance of the survivors, pass through the tavern and head to the mines. While passing through the wind tunnel in the mines, you will see a projection showing that Sea Vipers have captured the storm element and intend to use it to destroy Mistral.

5. Half-Formed Understandings

If you have been a loyal player of ESO, then you must be familiar with King of Worms Mannimarco. He first appears in Mages Guild questline in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, where he leads Necromancers. In ESO, he appears in the opening cinematic and will sacrifice your character to Molag Bal.

If you enjoy exploring the deep lore of Elder Scrolls Online, this quest is for you. As you complete the quest, you’ll get to see where it all began, tracing the events that led to Mannimarco’s expulsion from the mysterious Psijic Order and how he ended up in horrific experiments and the darkest depths of necromancy. Upon completion, you’ll also receive Staff of Forbidden Knowledge besides ESO Gold and XP.

6. Vanus Unleashed Daedra

One of the most well-known characters in Tamriel’s magicka lore and Mages Guild, Vanus Galerion is actually one of the most powerful magicians in all of Nirn, and it was he who founded Mages Guild. In this quest, you’ll need to assist him in destroying Great Shackle within Black Forge.

At the start of the quest, you’ll find a recording of Vanus outlining his plans, enabling you to join him. After entering this quest, you’ll need to restore Galerion’s stolen health, magicka, and stamina to restore his full power.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to defeat the dremora Kothutuilk and return the stolen energy to Galerion, who will then help you dismantle Great Shackle, completing the quest.

7. Harvest Heart

After Vanus Galerion has successfully taken over Chasm region, he’ll assign you another quest to take on vampires. To do this, you’ll enter Molag Bal’s realm and face off against his infamous Harvest Hearts.
