Online:Patch/1.4.3

OVERVIEW
Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v.1.4.3, our fourth major content update! 
In this update, we've added the upper region of Craglorn for you to explore, plus a new Trial – Sanctum Ophidia.  We've also added the Dragonstar Arena where you'll be challenged to defeat 10 stages of monsters with a group of 4.  The Veteran Rank cap has also been raised to VR14 to account for these new encounters. 

We've begun our grouping improvements to many PvE objectives, and have continued our work on expanding existing delves.  You'll also find that we've added new ability altering enchantments, which you can read more about below. 

In addition to all new features, we've continued to improve many areas of the game including gameplay, art, itemization, quests, UI, and the Alliance War.  We hope you enjoy the latest update! 

BIG CHANGES / UPDATES / NEW FEATURES
Upper Craglorn
Venture north from the badlands surrounding the city of Belkarth into new territory! With the western rockslide cleared and the Iron Orcs' barricade sundered, the roads to Dragonstar are now open to travelers. Here, the insidious Scaled Court and their Iron Orcs allies prepare a new invasion force for their master, consisting of terrible monsters created using the ancient alchemy and magical processes of the long-dead Nedes. Six new group delves, three new group instances, and the settlement of Dragonstar await you! 

Serpent Trial: Sanctum Ophidia
Enter the heart of the Scaled Court's power and face off against the Celestial Serpent himself. Make your way through the most loyal members of the Scaled Court and fight the monstrous Trolls and other nightmares the Scaled Court command in defense of their god.  Those that return to Hel Ra Citadel or the Aetherian Archive after facing the challenges of the Sanctum Ophidia will find their actions have not gone unnoticed. 

Dragonstar Arena
In the mountains north of Dragonstar, an abandoned ruin has been repurposed to serve as a blood sport arena by a heretofore unknown champion. Warriors from across Tamriel now flock to compete in the arena games with the promise of great glory and fantastic treasures–if they can survive. Available in both normal and veteran modes, a group of four players can enter the ring and pit themselves against some of the deadliest challenges yet seen! 

Nirnhoned Crafting Trait
A new crafting trait, Nirnhoned, has been discovered in Craglorn! The necessary trait items can be found rarely while harvesting in Upper Craglorn, and Nirnhoned equipment can be obtained by completing the main quest line in Upper Craglorn. 

Larger Delves
The delves found in Bangkorai, Reaper's March and The Rift are now larger, and contain more monsters and loot.  This is an ongoing effort to make all delves in the game larger.

Grouping Improvements
We have begun our grouping improvements, and have made more quest conditions group-shared and condensed/removed the number of layers for a particular objective.  This will dramatically reduce or eliminate the amount of time you will be separated from your group or other player characters. We have touched up the following objectives:
Ancestor's Landing
Conflicted Emotion
Cormount
Dune
Eagle's Brook 
Eidolon's Hollow 
Firsthold
Goldfolly 
Greenwater Cove 
Hallin's Stand 
Karthdar 
Moonhenge 
Morwha's Bounty 
Motalion Necropolis 
Nilata Ruins 
Northglen 
Onsi's Breath 
Pelin Graveyard 
Redfur Trading Post 
Salas En 
Senalana 
Sep's Spine 
Silverhoof Vale 
The Gray Mire 
Tu'whacca's Throne 

PFX Prioritization
We have implemented a priority and distance-based culling system that ensures all pertinent ability FX play on you and your group, and take priority over other effects so combat cues are not lost.  This system was implemented to improve FX memory management so that important FX are not being culled out in a high-density combat situation.  In addition to fixing issues where ability FX may not render, this system will also improve overall performance in some PvP scenarios and Dungeons. 

New VR Rank
In order to provide for new itemization and to ensure a better feeling of achievement in Dragonstar Arena, Sanctum Ophidia, and Upper Craglorn, the maximum Veteran Rank has been increased to 14.  We have also reduced the Veteran point cost for Veteran Ranks 13 and 14 so it takes less time to progress through those ranks. 

Ability Altering Enchantments
We've added powerful new ability altering enchantments that can drop on weapons found in the Dragonstar Arena, the Serpent Trial in difficult mode, and from the Alliance War Leaderboards.  Having such a weapon equipped will add new functionality to current abilities as noted below:
Grand Healing: This ability now restores stamina to allies in the area. 
Cleave: This ability deals bonus damage on the initial hit. 
Puncture: This ability heals the caster. 
Twin Slashes: This ability deals additional bleed damage every tick. 
Poison Arrow: This ability increases your weapon damage when attacking enemies affected by Poison Arrow. 
Destructive Touch: This ability deals more damage and costs less.
