General News

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.

Since the release of Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 earlier this year, the veteran MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online has been revitalized, consistently offering new events every month.

A few days ago, on October 13th, the game launched Battle for the Writhing Wall event as a teaser for the upcoming Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 2 and Update 48. You'll team up with other players on your server to overthrow the wall and fight against Worm Cult.

So how can you participate in this event and help thwart the evil forces' plot? What rewards will you receive? We'll explain.

How To Activate This Event?

Starting October 13, 2025, all ESO players will be able to earn rewards by participating in this event. The event will be divided into three phases. Only after completing all campaigns can you enter Eastern Solstice to claim ESO gold, collectibles, and more rewards.

To begin Battle for the Writhing Wall event, travel to Stirk Fellowship Camp or Sunport Rampart Camp and interact with Skordo the Knife to register for the event. Here's how to get there:

• Take a boat from the docks at Vulkhel Guard, Daggerfall, or Davon's Watch to Stirk Fellowship Camp.
• Go southeast of Sunport and find Sunport Rampart Camp near Rampart Camp Wayshrine on Solstice.

You can then claim Support the Fellowship introductory quest from the in-game store for further gameplay instructions.

Completing The Conflict Phase

This phase can be considered a precursor to Battle for the Writhing Wall. During this phase, you'll need to complete daily quests and defeat enemies from Coldharbour to advance the event on your server. This progress will be updated daily on the website.

Note that some daily quests remain available after the main phase begins; completing them consistently will help you earn event rewards. All NPCs associated with the event quests and their key information are as follows:

• General Zasimba: Located in Solstice zone, offers quests to protect Fellowship's Siege Camps.
• Orinde Glenuvon: Located on the islands of Stirk or Solstice, you can give her Vitrified Souls obtained from killing Daedra.
• Nurwalne: Located in Stirk and Solstice, requires you to gather war supplies from various regions.

Also, if you need supplies while completing event-related quests, you can travel to Stirk or Solstice to find Armorer Reistaff, who will provide assistance.

Phase 1

During this phase, you and other players will primarily focus on gathering resources for the larger war effort. During this phase, you may engage in small-scale skirmishes near the siege camps through daily quests.

Note that during Phase 1, Worm Cult will occupy several caves and dungeons as their territory, making these locations more dangerous - and, of course, the rewards for killing enemies there are substantial. You can find them by their unique markers on the map.

Phase 2

Once you enter this phase, you'll need to continue gathering resources to maintain the fortifications of your camp while also preparing for enemy attacks.

Correspondingly, your camp will be invaded more frequently, the enemies will be more difficult to defeat, and the world boss, Daedra Ghishzor, will appear in Solstice.

Phase 3

The start of this phase signals the exposure of Writhing Wall, ushering in the final battle. Phase 3 will last for a week after Writhing Fortress dungeon on your server has been completed until the entire event concludes.

You will then unlock Eastern Solstice, where you'll begin Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 2 storyline and embark on a new adventure.

Note: The start time of Phase 3 depends on the success rate and mobilization level of Elder Scrolls Online players on your server during the first two phases, so the progress of the event will vary between servers.

Finally, please note that while all players can participate in this event, you must own 2025 Content Pass to access the quests in Solstice and complete Phase 3.

Battle For The Writhing Wall Event Rewards

This event not only offers a rich ultimate reward, but also offers Writhing Reward Coffers from various sources as you progress through the event. In addition, you can earn up to three Glorious Writhing Reward Coffers daily by consistently completing daily quests.

Other notable bonuses and how to earn them are as follows:

• Antiquity Leads: May drop from specific bosses in enemy territory dungeons during the event.
• Wall Breaker Title: Complete Writhing Fortress in Phase 3.
• Coldharbour Dremnaken Runt pet and Wormwrithe Bear-Lizard mount: Participate in Golden Pursuits campaign associated with the event.

Additionally, at the start of Battle for the Writhing Wall event, if you've already completed Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1 questline, you can find Prince Azah at Sunport Rampart Camp to receive the quest Crossing the Wall.

This quest is crucial because it helps you connect Parts 1 and 2, allowing you to start your Eastern Solstice adventure more smoothly, so don't miss it.

That's all for this update. The event has only been running for three days, so if you want to claim the ultimate reward, be sure to choose a high-activity ESO server and start working hard now!

As you progress through Battle for the Writhing Wall event, as enemies become increasingly dangerous, you'll need to buy higher-level weapons with gold. To do this, it's essential to stock up on enough gold at the trusted ESO gold store IGGM!

Time flies, and September 2025 will end in a few days. Over the past few months, Elder Scrolls Online has undergone significant changes, attracting many new players and increasing the frequency of events.

Over the past month, ESO has also held several events, offering numerous rewards. We've summarized these events so you can plan how to utilize the rewards in October.

1. The Undaunted Celebration

This event will run until 10:00 AM ET on Tuesday, September 30th, meaning you can still play now.

During the event, you can team up with friends to clear raid dungeons to earn rewards and event tickets. Tickets can be redeemed at the Impresario vendor for the following additional rewards:

• All Stonewisp of Truth and Law pet fragments: Axiomatic Runestones, Glyph of Law, Powdered Wisp Remains
• All Law of Julianos Dwarven Spider mount fragments: Comfortable Spider Chassis, Dwarven Control Rod, Whirring Dwarven Dynamo
• Bound-style pages for the new Scourge Harvester weapons and Opal Masks and Shoulders
• Imresario Group Repair Kits
• Companion Guild Commendations

Each day, you'll earn two tickets upon defeating a dungeon boss for the first time. If you play daily, you can expect to earn up to 26 tickets by the end of the event.

Please note that you can only hold a maximum of 12 tickets at a time. To avoid wasting time, please redeem any tickets you have for rewards before reaching that limit.

Besides playing dungeons, you can also complete the event's introductory quest, Glory of the Undaunted, in three ways during the event:

• Speak with Serileth in any Undaunted Enclave.
• Get it from the in-game Crown Store.
• Get it from Impresario tent.

You can also complete Bolgrul's Daily Undaunted Delve quest daily to receive a regular Undaunted Reward Box.

During the event, you can collect different Opal Monster Mask and Shoulder Outfit variations by defeating dungeon bosses. We recommend prioritizing the following dungeon bosses in Veteran Hard Mode for a higher drop rate.

• Iceheart (Direfrost Keep)
• Lord Warden (Imperial City Prison)
• Nightflame (Elden Hollow II)
• Swarm Mother (Spindleclutch I)
• Velidreth (Cradle of Shadows)
• Sentinel of Rkugamz (Darkshade Caverns I)

2. Seasons Of The Worm Cult Part 2 And Update 48 Released

As one of the most significant ESO updates of 2025, Seasons of the Worm Cult released its second part in mid-September, along with Update 48.

Part 2 opens up Eastern Solstice, where you can explore new caves, bosses, dungeons, and quests, earning rewards while delving deeper into the main storyline. These new content primarily include:

• Four full-length objectives
• Three delves, each with a skyshard and unique boss
• A new public dungeon: Calvindale Gardens
• Three world bosses
• Two new crafting set locations
• More hidden side quests

Note: If you wish to delve into the new main content, you must first complete Western Solstice questline and participate in the breach of Writhing Wall to breach the wall's defenses and destroy Worm Cult.

To do this, you'll need to travel to Solstice Rampart camp outside Sunport and interact with Skordo the Knife, or travel with your teammates to the western portion of Writhing Wall to find the portal and enter.

Update 48 primarily includes general bug fixes and smaller improvements to ensure a smoother overall gaming experience.

3. Vengeance Campaign For Cyrodiil

This week-long PvP-style event, ending at 10:00 AM ET on Monday, September 29th, allows you to experience the updated Vengeance campaign in Cyrodiil and provides insights for a better Alliance War.

You can participate if your character is between levels 10 and 50. This event will template your available builds, allowing you to test the feasibility of new PVP environments and gameplay in a more stable environment. To participate:

• 1. Open Alliance War menu.
• 2. Press L on your keyboard to find and open Campaigns tab.
• 3. Select Cyrodiil, then select Vengeance Campaign.

Essentially, this event serves as a tested, allowing you to experiment with the new skill lines, progression, and cosmetic systems and test their feasibility, laying the foundation for a more refined Alliance War.

More specifically, this PvP campaign event introduces the meat bag catapults, along with optimized skill lines and an armor skill line for Fighters and Mages Guilds.

These new options deliver devastating combat power while minimizing performance disruption, preventing the lag issues common in previous Cyrodiil runs.

For example, the meat bag catapult retains its damage-dealing function but no longer leaves behind a persistent ground effect.

September's events not only introduced new gameplay features through Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 2 and The Undaunted Celebration, but also further optimized the fundamental Elder Scrolls Online experience through Update 48.

ESO remains robust and committed to providing you with a consistently high-quality experience. Let's look forward to more updates in October!

Among all Elder Scrolls Online changes in September, Season of the Worm Cult Part 2's new dungeons and other additions will still be available in October, but you may not have the gear to handle them.

For this reason, we recommend buying ESO gold that can upgrade your gear for increased combat power and clearing new dungeons and quests as soon as possible to claim their loot. There's no time to lose, so act now!

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.

While nearly all MMORPGs emphasize combat to earn resources and survive, if you’re not comfortable playing with others, a casual approach might be more suitable, especially in a long-running game.

Undoubtedly, Elder Scrolls Online, now over a decade old, is such a game. Even new players will probably be drawn to the casual atmosphere and relaxed after completing the initial quests.

So, what qualities of ESO still allow you to enjoy it casually as a solo player in 2025? We’ll analyze them for you.

Game Overview - Atypical MMORPG

While you can reach the top of Elder Scrolls Online by constantly farming ESO gold or rarer gear, the more you play, the more you’ll find that even casual questing can provide a solid ESO experience.

If you prefer full-on combat, you can team up with guild-mates in ESO to complete raids or slay bosses in large dungeons for loot. You can also gather in PvP zone of Cyrodiil to form an army and fight other players.

If you prefer a more casual solo experience, you can wander around Elder Scrolls Online’s towns, chat with NPCs, or create clothing accessories to accessorize and style your character for a more unique and stylish look.

ESO’s comprehensive crafting system allows you to experience forging, enchanting, cooking, and even crafting furniture to build houses through a variety of crafting skills. Furthermore, you can use the fishing feature to sell rare fish or materials you catch for more ESO gold.

In fact, with the removal of the subscription requirement and more Tamriel updates, such as the recent addition of the subclass feature, ESO becomes more like a pure “Elder Scrolls game” than a typical MMO, allowing you to customize your playstyle to your needs.

Easily Immerse In The Game Story

In MMORPGs, most PvE gameplay and quests involve complex storylines and character backgrounds, sometimes even affecting your quest progress. Therefore, you need to be fully familiar with these details before engaging in combat.

Some MMORPGs, such as World of Warcraft series, often use extensive text descriptions to explain quest backgrounds. While this approach helps ensure that no details are missed, it can be tedious.

In contrast, Elder Scrolls Online sometimes provides key quest information in the form of notes, and most quest dialogue is voiced for quick understanding.

Furthermore, some ESO story content is actually based on the background of other Elder Scrolls games, but the integration is very good. Combined with the engaging narrative style, completing an ESO PVE quest is like immersing yourself in a magical story.

A Large Number Of Completable Quests

ESO PvE quests are diverse, including multiple faction quest lines and various side quests. Completing them rewards skill points, making them perfect for a killing time as a solo player.

A single faction questline takes approximately 50 hours, and if you prefer, you can complete the questlines for two other factions with the same character. This way, the faction questlines alone could fill a whole vacation, not to mention the other smaller quests.

In addition, as you complete the quests, you might unlock more points of interest, find places to fish, gather crafting materials, or even complete your own dungeon. This gives you a constant stream of content to enrich your single-player experience.

Multiple DLCs

If you’ve already experienced all the base game content or are looking for new single-player adventures, Elder Scrolls Online offers a wealth of DLCs to satisfy your needs.

These DLCs typically include different dungeons, maps, and exclusive gameplay options, allowing you to choose the one you want. Each DLC also has its own storyline, which flows seamlessly together, helping you gain a deeper understanding of Tamriel.

Major ESO DLCs include:

• Imperial City
• Orsinium
• Thieves Guild
• Dark Brotherhood
• Shadows of the Hist
• Morrowind
• Horns of the Reach
• Clockwork City
• Dragon Bones
• Summerset Chapter
• Wolfhunter
• Murkmire
• Scribes of Fate
• Necrom Chapter
• Scions of Ithelia
• Gold Road
• Fallen Banners
• Seasons of the Worm Cult Part 1

Recruiting NPCs As Helpers

While most of the game can be completed solo, one person’s power is limited, and completing it may require more time and effort. If you’re a solo player and don’t have any friends or don’t want to socialize, you can recruit NPCs as helpers.

Compared to real players, NPCs can complete your requests simply by giving you command, eliminating the need for additional communication. They’re also more cooperative, especially on simpler tasks.

Diversity With Subclass Feature

Newly added in June of this year, the subclass feature allows you to choose from up to two other classes’ skill lines, in addition to your chosen base class, and experiment with a combination of skills.

Based on the total number of ESO classes and their associated skills, this is expected to result in over 3,000 possible combinations. This significantly expands your combat skill-set and allows for even more customized builds and styles.

While this will consume more skill points, as a solo player, you’ll have plenty of time to earn enough skill points by completing quests to unlock the desired class skills, allowing for maximum character customization.

More New Content

Since late 2024, Elder Scrolls Online has laid out several preliminary plans for its next decade. This means that even if you’ve been a ten-year veteran, you can still enjoy new content, much of which is still suitable for casual solo gameplay.

These are the reasons and methods for easily exploring solo play in ESO. We hope this will inspire you to explore your next game plans. Have fun!

In the hot summer, playing games at home may be a more comfortable choice than going out for a trip or exercising! Especially in those MMORPGs, even if you don’t do any quests, just wandering around in the open world can make you have a happy day.

Based on this, some MMORPGs choose to launch many new events from July to August to ensure that you can have a fulfilling summer. According to the July 2025 roadmap, Elder Scrolls Online will be a good choice to kill time.

ESO has arranged so many events that although only one-third of July has passed, some events are approaching or have already ended! But it doesn’t matter, we will introduce those that you can continue to play in time!

July 2025 Daily Login Rewards

This should be regarded as the basic welfare activity of the game. As long as you log in to the game every day in July, you will have the opportunity to get ESO gold, crafting materials, research scrolls and Luminous ink for Scribing as rewards.

And the longer you log in, the better the rewards you get. At least in July 2025, you can even get an adorably spooky pet this way!

Free Scribing Feature

This feature was introduced in Gold Road chapter in 2024. It allows you to customize yourself with more powerful combat capabilities by combining scripts and grimoires, but it requires consuming gold.

However, starting from July 10, 2025, as long as you claim The Second Era of Scribing quest in the crown store, you can unlock and experience Scribing and all related content for free.

July’s Golden Pursuits Scribing For All!

On this basis, Elder Scrolls Online further launched Golden Pursuits event in July. From July 10 to August 7, if you have not experienced Scribing feature before, Scribing For All! event will help you get familiar with it; if you already know how to utilize it, you can directly win rewards.

It is expected that you can win gold, Luminous Ink, and Scribing Altar, a pair of Flame Atronach Crown Crates, and even have the opportunity to master new skill styles through your efforts!

Weekend Mini-Event Crazy King

This event is open for a short time, from July 10th to 15th. To get rewards, you need to join the featured queue and win dominance for your faction through fierce battles to obtain available alliance points. Please note that no tickets are available for this event.

Whitestrake’s Mayhem

This event is a classic limited-time PVP gameplay in Elder Scrolls Online. This return time is from July 24th to August 6th. During the event, you can earn tickets by completing the imperial city district daily quest or Cyrodiil or battlegrounds daily quest.

In addition, Whitestrake’s Mayhem also allows you to gain more alliance points and Tel Var Stone gains, combining event tickets to win more rewards.

More About Update 47 And New Dungeons

Although Update 47 and new dungeons are scheduled to be released on August 18, the game development team revealed the preliminary plans and content to you through Update 47 live broadcast on July 1. The main changes in Update 47 that are known include:

• The much-anticipated Mount Swimming functionality will be available, allowing you to ride mounts in water as usual.
• Stackable survey reports, similar to Update 46’s stackable crafting writs will be brought.

As for the new PVE dungeon pack Feast of Shadows, it will provide you with two four-player dungeons to explore. Although the plots and rewards of the two dungeons are different, they are generally related to the theme of Seasons of the Worm Cult.

Dungeon 1 Black Gem Foundry requires you and your teammates to enter Coldharbor manufactory and eliminate the ability to create terrible soul-stealing armaments here after a series of adventures.

In Dungeon 2 Naj-Caldeesh, a group of Argonian necromancers are trying to corrupt and control the ancient xanmeer’s keystone, and you must work with your teammates to stop them.

It should be noted that, like the dungeons in the previous Fallen Banners DLC, the new dungeon pack Feast of Shadows also requires you to have a 2025 Content Pass, 2025 Premium Edition or ESO Plus membership to experience it.

New Crown Store Items

The crown store in ESO will also bring more available items as the game content is updated. Among the new items that will be available in July 2025 are:

ESO Plus Exclusives:

• Statuette: Redguard Warrior

Crafting and Outfit Styles:

• Alliance Accord Arms Pack
• Militant Monk

Houses:

• Shattered Mirror Isle

Furnishings:

• Furnishing Pack: Heart of the Loom
• Statue, Mistress of Nightmares

Mounts:

• Three Banners Veteran Wolf

Pets:

• War Veteran’s Hunting Dog
• Destruction Dale Fawn

Ended July Events

First is June Golden Pursuits Golden Pursuits that lasted until July 8. Since the new Golden Pursuits have already started, no need to regret missing it.

Another July event that has ended, Zeal of Zenithar, actually started at the end of June. It mainly provides a lot of quests to win you the opportunity to get reward chests.

In general, it is completely in time to play most of the July events of ESO from now on, and you can directly experience update 47 and new dungeons by sticking to August! Act quickly!

Since Elder Scrolls Online changed the update mode of the past annual chapters to the season system, its first official season, Seasons of the Worm Cult, has been launched on PC/Mac on June 2, 2025, and will be launched on Xbox & PlayStation series on the 18th.

The opening of the new season means that you will be able to play more new content and learn more about new plots. At the same time, the game’s update 46 was also launched with the season, and many adjustments were made to the inherent mechanism.

Among the many changes brought by update 46, subclass is undoubtedly worth experiencing-in fact, many MMORPGs have similar functions, which is enough to prove its indispensability.

The emergence of subclass has greatly enriched the playability of each class and the possibility of craftable builds. Based on this, we will introduce you to Heavy Attack Subclass Sorcerer Build.

Features Of Subclass

The main function of this mechanism is to allow you to merge the skill lines of other classes with the skill lines of the class you are currently experiencing, so that you can get a more diverse career experience without changing classes.

This greatly increases the freedom of gameplay, the possibility and strength of your craft builds have been increased, and the efficiency of completing new season tasks and farming Elder Scrolls Online gold has been increased.

It is worth noting that if you want to unlock this feature after Update 46 and Seasons of the Worm Cult are launched, you need to make your character reach level 50. After that, you need double skill points to unlock and upgrade the skills of other classes.

Skills Corresponding To This Build

There is no doubt that this build is first based on Sorcerer class craft. This class can summon and control weather phenomena, such as shooting lightning or creating tornadoes and fog; in addition, it can summon Storm Atronachs and magical armor through Daedric forces.

On this basis, you can continue to focus on one skill line, or you can distribute points to a total of 3 skill lines-the emergence of subclass further enriches this mechanism.

Heavy Attack Subclass Sorcerer Build works by combining Sorcerer’s Storm Calling & Daedric Summoning and Nightblade’s Assassination skill lines. The skills they include are:

Storm Calling

• Overload
• Mage’s Fury
• Lightning Form
• Lightning Splash
• Surge
• Bolt Escape
• Capacitor
• Energized
• Amplitude
• Expert Mage

Daedric Summoning

• Summon Storm Atronach
• Unstable Familiar
• Daedric Curse
• Summon Winged Twilight
• Conjured Ward
• Bound Armor
• Rebate
• Power Stone
• Daedric Protection
• Expert Summoner

Assassination

• Death Stroke
• Assassin’s Blade
• Teleport Strike
• Blur
• Mark Target
• Grim Focus
• Master Assassin
• Executioner
• Pressure Points
• Hemorrhage

Compared to the original third skill line of Sorcerer, Dark Magic, Nightblade’s Assassination can make Sorcerer and the entire Heavy Attack Subclass Sorcerer Build more efficient.

Specific Class Skill Selection

Since skill unlocking and upgrading requires skill points, in order to maximize the effect of points, you need to choose the part of the above available skills that can better cooperate with each other.

The first one worth highlighting is Power Stone passive, which can reduce the resource consumption of your ultimate skill to increase DPS, and also increase shock damage by 5%.

The second is Power Overload, one of the ultimate skills Overload Morph, which can charge your fist with the power of the storm, turning your light attack into lightning to deal 1245 points of shock damage to enemies within a range of up to 32 meters, and heavy attacks can cause 1120 points of shock damage to enemies within a range of 6 x 8.

Summon Twilight Matriarch is a skill from Daedric Summoning that allows you to summon Azura to send a twilight tormentor to help you. The twilight tormentor’s electric shock can cause 478 shock damage, and the kick can cause 478 shock damage.

Guild Skill Selection

In addition to the class skills based on the three skill lines, you can also add mage guild skills to this build as a Sorcerer. The higher your guild level, the more skills you can unlock (up to level 10).

The main ones suitable for this build are:

• Might of the Guild: Whenever you cast it, there is a chance to gain Reinforcement, and increase the critical damage you deal to monsters for 10 seconds.
• Scalding Rune: When triggered, this rune will cause 2323 fire damage to all enemies in the target area, and an additional 2871 fire damage over 22 seconds. In addition, it can continue to cause additional damage over time.

The above are just the skills of this build. If you want to further enhance its power, you need to farm more gear and other available items, such as potions, which can bring you additional benefits.

If you are a Xbox & PlayStation user, there are still a few days before the official launch of the game, and you can learn more subclass content based on this guide! I wish you success!

Nowadays, more and more people have access to video games, which have gradually evolved from the original entertainment and pastime to a new century art with the nature of a cultural carrier. Maybe there are old-fashioned and stubborn people who don’t think so, but this is the fact.

Therefore, some games will publicly promote the ideas they support through other activities based on their own influence while designing inherent gameplay and exclusive worldviews, such as Pride Parade held by Elder Scrolls Online in previous years.

What Is ESO Pride Parade?

The event was first held in 2023 and was jointly initiated by game developers, some game anchors, and other supporters. The main purpose is to provide LGBTQ+ players with an anonymous parade opportunity.

This event has nothing to do with your main game progress and gameplay. It is just a small-scale carnival with political and social colors in the game. However, even if you are not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you can participate in it out of support and love of excitement.

Every year, Pride Parade will set different parade start times and routes in the game, and last about 45 minutes. During this period, you will see many players gathering together on the route, declaring their identities and positions by launching rainbow-colored props or other means.

Can The Server Support This Activity?

Although not all players will participate, the final number of people is still not to be underestimated, and there is no doubt that this puts a lot of pressure on the game server. As you know, Cyrodiil’s PVP gameplay has been stuck for a long time due to overload.

The good news is that Pride Parade will divide all participants into different groups to reduce server pressure. But in fact, starting this year, ESO’s overall server carrying capacity has increased. For example, after the adjustment test of Cyrodiil Champions, the situation where you lose ESO gold due to lag in PVP mode should be reduced.

Pride Parade In 2025

This year’s Pride Parade is hosted by the LGBTQIA guild Alphabet Mafia in game, which announced that the parade will start at 8:15 pm EST on Saturday, June 14, 2025, and the parade area will be Auridon in the game.

If you want to participate or watch, you can gather at the first fortress signpost in the north of Auridon. The team will go south through Auridon along the main road of Vulkhel Guard and end with a beach party.

There are no requirements for the parade. As long as you are friendly, you can dress your character in any way to join the parade. So you also have the opportunity to meet many interesting players!

Rules Of Participation

The parade has no hard and fast rules for friendly players, but as you know, whether in the real world or in the social environment of the game, the LGBTQ+ community is generally not very recognized, and there are even players who hate this niche group.

Therefore, for the sake of your account security, game social experience, and server stability, if you want to participate in Pride Parade, it is best to follow the following rules:

• Let your character walk instead of running.
• If malicious players join and send unfriendly or even insulting remarks, do not argue with them, just block them and take screenshots of their remarks.
• Turn off the name tag and hide the user interface to ensure that the screenshots you get are clear enough.
• Please do not bring combat pets, as well as unnecessary non-combat pets or mounts.

This parade will only be held on PC-NA server, so be careful not to make a mistake. In addition, according to the news in the relevant Discord group, Alphabet Mafia should hold other Pride events in the future-if there is no unexpected attack.

The Degree Of Friendliness Seems To Be Declining Year By Year

To be honest, it is not surprising at all. There are always some cisgender heterosexual players who are self-righteous, so they do not support or even attack Elder Scrolls Online Pride Parade and other related events. “Negative” and “disgusting” remarks are endless.

But compared with the past, this year’s public opinion environment seems to be worse. You will find that the post announcing the event on the game sub-forum has even been closed, leaving only a bunch of deleted comments.

For this reason, Alphabet Mafia, the person in charge of the parade, had to take precautions on Discord and closed all public groups where you can discuss with other parade participants to prevent bad elements from getting in.

This series of measures undoubtedly killed the excitement of the event. Although Alphabet Mafia has announced that the parade will not be canceled or postponed, you may still be worried.

Should ESO Hold Such Events?

In fact, Pride Parade is not the only event in Elder Scrolls Online that expresses support for the LGBTQ+ community. In update 44, the game also introduced the first non-binary companion Tanlorin, which caused controversy at the time.

In general, games are of course not obliged to promote such ideas, and this will inevitably offend some players who disagree, but ESO still chooses to do so. You can think they are hyping, but after all, it does not harm anyone’s interests.

From a personal perspective, you can disagree with LGBTQ+ and even say goodbye to Elder Scrolls Online because of it, but insulting related players and activities is indeed unnecessary and ridiculous. Playing games is for fun, not for quarrels, right?

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.

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!
