OVERVIEW
Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v2.6.0, featuring One Tamriel! This update opens up the world of Tamriel for you to explore any time, and play with your friends no matter what level you are. Due to the significant changes One Tamriel brings to ESO, we’ve adjusted much of the current content and systems.


In this update, you’ll find that we’ve made Craglorn more solo-friendly, added Normal and Veteran modes for all 4-player dungeons, re-designed the Undaunted Pledge system, added new world bosses, and made some fairly sizeable itemization changes and updates – you’ll definitely want to check out all the details below.


In addition to One Tamriel, we’ve also added dueling, Weapon Ultimates, and added new daily quests. We’ve also added 16 new Monster Masks, and raised the Champion Point cap by 30 points. As with previous updates, we’ve also implemented many fixes and improvements to previous DLC game packs and the base game patch. Please note that the recently-announced Crown Crates will be available to test in a future PTS incremental patch.


We can’t wait to hear what you think of this update, all of which will be free for all players and is approximately 3.81GB in size. Enjoy!

  ONE TAMRIEL
  Game content in ESO is no longer gated by your character's level!
  
  • Right out of the tutorial you'll have the freedom to go anywhere in Tamriel and play any content, in any order, just like other Elder Scrolls games. Your character will automatically scale and balance to the content.
    
  • The alliance restrictions have been lifted in all open-world zones, with the exception of PvP areas.
    
  • High-level players will be able to group with friends who are new to ESO; anyone below Champion 160 will scale so everyone can adventure together.
    
  • Every zone has been modified to add world bosses and ensure a mixture of content for solo and group play is available.
    
  
  Craglorn
  Craglorn has been re-designed so not all content will require a group to play.
  
  • The main story quests are now balanced for one player, and the remaining group content can be completed with as little as two players.
    
  • The group-number restrictions on all quests or doors have been removed.
    
    • Because of the significant changes, you will be able to complete all the quests in Craglorn even if you've done them once before.
      
  • Be sure to try your hand at the group delves to find new rewards, or take on one of the world events with a full group for new achievements!
    
  • Just like the rest of Tamriel, you can expect to find updated loot throughout the quests, delves, and bosses in Craglorn. See the itemization section below for more details.
    
  
  Dungeons
  There are lots of changes for Dungeons with this update! Read on to see what adventure awaits for those wanting to delve into the darkest reaches of Nirn and beyond.
  
  • All Dungeons now have both a Normal and Veteran modes.
    
  • Previous Dungeons which had a unique Veteran mode have been converted to Version I and II; each version now has a Normal and Veteran mode.
    
    • Example: Fungal Grotto will now be known as Fungal Grotto I and Fungal Grotto II.
      
  • Each Veteran dungeon now contains a Monster Mask and Shoulder set.
    
    • Monster Masks will drop 100% of the time from the final boss in Veteran mode.
      
    • Shoulder sets are acquired via Pledge keys (details are outlined in the next section below).
      
  • All Veteran versions of Dungeons have a way to activate a harder difficulty for the final boss, activated by the Scroll of Glorious Battle found in the final boss’ room.
    
  
  Undaunted Pledges
  We have redesigned the Pledge system to offer more rewards more often, and at a predictable rate.
  
  • There is no longer a Bronze, Silver and Gold key. All keys have been converted Undaunted Keys and reward a Shoulder set piece with each use.
    
  • There are now three pledge givers for Undaunted Dungeon quests, with each offering a unique Pledge each day. They also have a corresponding chest which, when an Undaunted Key is used, will offer a Shoulder set piece from one of the Dungeon Pledges they offer.
    
    • Maj al-Ragath offers a random Pledge for the following Dungeons:
      
      • Banished Cells I & II
        
      • Darkshade Caverns I & II
        
      • Elden Hollow I & II
        
      • Fungal Grotto I & II
        
      • Spindleclutch I & II
        
      • Wayrest Sewers I & II
        
    • Gilirion the Redbeard offers a random Pledge for the following Dungeons:
      
      • Arx Corinium
        
      • Blackheart Haven
        
      • Blessed Crucible
        
      • City of Ash I & II
        
      • Crypt of Hearts I & II
        
      • Direfrost
        
      • Selene’s Web
        
      • Tempest Island
        
      • Vaults of Madness
        
      • Volenfell
        
    • Urgalarg Chief-bane offers a random Pledge for the following Dungeons:
      
      • Cradle of Shadows
        
      • Imperial City Prison
        
      • Ruins of Mazzatun
        
      • White-Gold Tower
        
  • Each pledge can be completed in one of three ways for a total of up to six keys per day.
    
    • Normal Dungeon: Completing a Pledge in a Normal version of the dungeon awards a single Undaunted Key.
      
    • Veteran Dungeon: Completing a Pledge in a Veteran version of the dungeon awards a single Undaunted Key, but completing Veteran versions of the Dungeon are also the only way to get the Undaunted Monster Masks.
      
    • Veteran Hard Mode: Completing a Pledge in a Veteran version of the dungeon after the final boss has been made more difficult will award two Undaunted Keys, in addition to awarding the Monster Mask from completing a Veteran Dungeon.
      
      • All previous dungeons that did not have a Hard Mode have been given a way to activate a mode that makes the final boss more difficult in the Veteran version, activated by the Scroll of Glorious Battle found in the final boss’ room.
        
    
    
  
  Itemization Changes
  In order to support One Tamriel which allows you to go anywhere, we needed to make several significant changes to itemization and item sets. In general, each zone and dungeon in the game will now drop 3 sets – one for light, medium, and heavy armor – and all set drops in the game will scale up to CP160.
  
  • Item Sets will now drop for every item slot.
    
    • This excludes the Agility, Endurance, and Willpower jewelry sets.
      
    • Sets that grant a bonus to melee damage will now drop more intelligently (i.e. a set with melee damage will no longer drop with a bow or stave).
      
  • Helms and shoulders can now drop at all levels.
    
  • All set drops have a chance to be green, blue, or purple quality.
    
    • The chance of receiving blue and purple quality items increases as you gain more levels.
      
  • All set drops from the overland are now bind-on-equip.
    
  • All set drops from dungeons and Trials are bind-on-pickup.
    
  • Dungeon bosses and mini bosses will now drop a set piece 100% of the time.
    
    • Mini bosses will drop either a hand, waist, or feet set piece.
      
    • Bosses will drop either a chest, shoulder, head or leg set piece.
      
    • The final Boss of a dungeon will drop weapons or jewelry.
      
      • Normal mode dungeon bosses will drop blue-quality items.
        
      • Veteran mode dungeon bosses will drop purple-quality items.
        
    • Agility, Willpower, and Endurance sets no longer drop from dungeon bosses. They are now rewarded upon completing a random dungeon using the Grouping Tool.
      
      • Note: These sets can still be found in the Cache chests in Imperial City.
        
    • All dungeon set drops are bind-on-pickup.
      
  • Non-Dungeon Bosses
    
    • We dramatically increased the chance for Delve bosses to drop a waist or feet set piece from the zone they are located in.
      
    • Each boss also has a small chance to drop a unique set piece.
      
    • Overland group bosses have a 100% chance to drop head, chest, legs, or weapon set piece from the zone they are located in.
      
    • Public dungeon bosses have a much higher chance to drop a shoulder, hand, or weapon set piece from the zone they are located in.
      
  • Trials
    
    • Mobs and bosses in Normal mode will drop blue-quality gear.
      
    • Mobs and bosses in Veteran mode will drop purple-quality gear.
      
    • The last boss on Veteran Hard Mode will drop gold-quality jewelry.
      
    • Hard Modes all contain an item worth 10,000 gold which can only be acquired once every 5 days.
      
  • Treasure Chests
    
    • Treasure Chests gained from defeating a Dark Anchor have a 100% chance to drop a ring or amulet set piece form the zone they are located in.
      
      • The above is also true of Unstable Anomalies found in Craglorn.
        
    • Treasure chests found in the world have a chance to grant any set piece that can drop in that zone.
      
      • Simple chests have a slight chance of dropping an item set piece.
        
      • Intermediate chests have a good chance of dropping an item set piece
        
      • Advanced and Master chests have a guaranteed chance of dropping an item set piece.
        
    • If you have the Treasure Hunter Champion Passive, both the above chances and quality of an item will be improved.
      
    • Treasure chests found from a Treasure Map have a guaranteed chance to drop one random set piece that can drop in that zone.
      
    • Higher difficulty chests have a better chance of spawning in the world, but easier chests will continue to be more common.
      
    • The loot from the CE Treasure Chest maps now scale to your level up to CP160.
      
  • Quests
    
    • Major quests have been updated to reward a green or blue-quality set piece.
      
    • Minor quests will continue to reward non-item green-quality set pieces.
      
  • Regular monsters throughout Tamriel have a small chance of dropping any item set piece that can drop in that zone.
    
  • Adhazabi Aba-daro the Golden, the rare goods vendor in Cyrodiil, has been updated to include the new Monster Masks and gold-quality jewelry.
    
  • You now have a better chance of getting more valuable or useful items from Thieves Troves as your rank in the Thieves Guild increases.
    
  • Treasure maps found in any zone may now direct you to any overland zone.

  UI
  The introduction of One Tamriel has brought upon a number of significant UI changes that we want to call out below.
  
  • Removed a monster’s level from the target frame since every monster essentially has the same level through One Tamriel.
    
  • Quest givers offering repeatable quests now have a different colored icon over their head to help differentiate those quests from non-repeatable quests.
    
  • Updated quest messaging to help differentiate between group quests located inside and outside of dungeons.
    
  • Updated zone messaging to help differentiate between Dungeons, Group Delves, and other group areas.
    
  
  Achievements
  
  • Added 110 new dungeon achievements to support the new Normal and Veteran difficulties being added to the existing dungeons.
    
    • To account for the huge number of Veteran Dungeon achievements added in this update, we’ve moved the Veteran Dungeon achievements to their own category in the achievements menu. This new category includes sub-categories for general achievements, Death Challenges, Slayer Challenges, Survivor Challenges, and Speed Challenges.
      
    • We’ve also reordered the Dungeon and Veteran Dungeon achievements, so that achievements within a sub-category are grouped by dungeon and listed in the order they are most likely to be discovered in, instead of alphabetically.
      
  • Added 3 achievements for completing all of the Magical Anomalies, Anka-Ra Sites, and Iron Orc Nirncrux Mines in Craglorn.
    
  • Added 3 new achievement lines for completing 1 / 10 / 30 of the new daily quests for Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, and Undaunted Delve dailies.
    
    • Completing these achievements awards a small amount of reputation for the associated skill line.
      
  • We’ve updated the Undaunted pledge achievements to account for changes to the pledges themselves:
    
    • The achievements for completing Pledges from Maj al-Ragath and Glirion the Redbeard are no longer difficulty specific.
      
    • Added a line of achievements for completing Pledges from the new pledge giver, Urgarlag Chief-Bane.
      
  
  Motifs and Recipes
  
  • Updated the way Provisioning recipes drop as follows:
    
    • Recipes in Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Dungeons now drop based on your rank in the Recipe Improvement passive.
      
    • In other zones, recipes drop based on your passive rank 75% of the time, and the rest of the time drop the same way they dropped prior to One Tamriel, by zone.
      
  • Crafting Motifs which were previously only available in the Silver and Gold versions of alliance content are now available throughout the world.
    
  • Daedra Hearts are now an uncommon drop from humanoid Daedra.
    
  • Argentum, Copper, and Palladium style items can now be found in treasure chests.
    
  
  Justice System
  Legerdemain now influences the quality of loot obtained from Justice activities.
  
  • Higher skill ranks in Legerdemain provide a better chance to "find" higher quality items.
    
  • This replaces the previous approach of higher level zones having a higher chance to obtain higher quality items.
    
  • Similarly, the overall value of items from Thieves Troves is now based on your rank in the Thieves Guild skill line, with a higher rank providing an increased chance for more and higher quality items.
    
  
  Crafting & Harvesting

  Miscellaneous Systems Changes & Updates

  NEW FEATURES / UPDATES / BIG CHANGES

  • Duels may be initiated in any non-PVP overland zone against a player of any alliance.
    
  • Duels can only be done between 2 player characters, and only a certain amount of duels can occur within a given area.
    
  • If you don't want to fight other player characters or receive dueling invitations, the Social panel in your options menu allows the auto-declining of duels.
    
  • Duels have the following rules:
    
    • After the challenged player accepts the duel invitation, a countdown to begin will appear in the center of both player’s screens.
      
    • All outside influences such as healing, buffs, etc. from other player characters will be blocked when a duel begins, and will last for the duration of the duel.

    • Battle-spirit will still be applied to any player characters within a duel.

  Weapon Ultimates
  New Weapon Ultimates have been added to the game. Each Weapon skill line now has one Ultimate, and each Ultimate can be obtained by reaching Rank 50 in its respective Weapon skill line. Weapon Ultimates can be morphed as well!
  
  Champion Points
  The Champion Point cap has been raised by a total of 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation). The Champion Point experience curve has been automatically adjusted with this new cap, so that earlier Champion Points require less experience and can be earned faster.

    • This defaults to on, which is the current behavior.
      
  • Added a “Stow Materials” keybind to the Inventory menu.

    • This option only appears when you have Auto-Add turned off.
