General:Update 30 Preview—New Tutorial

Originally published May 27, 2021. The original article can be found here.

500px|thumb|center|Learn about the new tutorial system coming soon with Update 30. 

A New Beginning

All ESO players will soon gain access to a brand-new tutorial experience for all their new characters as part of the free Update 30 base-game patch. Previously, when you created a new character, you'd need to complete the tutorial related to the most recent Chapter that you own. Now, all ESO players will have the same universal experience, regardless of what versions of the game they own.

In the new tutorial, you start on the mysterious Isle of Balfiera, a small island within the Iliac Bay last seen in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. Home to ancient Direnni ruins, the isle is beset by dangerous monsters thanks to the appearance of strange portals, and it’s up to you to help the mage Norianwe investigate their emergence—all the while, learning how to play the game!

Doorways to Tamriel

Once you've completed the new tutorial, you enter a final portal room that grants access to various starting locations based on what parts of the game you currently own. For example, as a base game owner, you choose from the three base-game Alliance starting locations. However, if you own any of the game's Chapters, you also gain access to portals taking your characters to their respective starting locations, too. It's that easy! Once you've completed the tutorial, you can begin your new character's story in any part of Tamriel you'd like, but if you're unsure where to start your journey, Norianwe shares some additional information on what kind of adventures you can find within each. 

300px|center|Select a portal and begin your ESO story

Note that once you've entered a portal, your character can never return to Balfiera. Of course, at that point you can still travel to any of the other starting locations previously available in the portal room—you just have to do it by boat, by cart, or on foot! Finally, because this new addition replaces all previous tutorials, your characters, new or old, can no longer access these quests and areas. Don't worry, though! The original base-game tutorial is now part of the main questline, and you always learn a zone's critical story information in that zone's first main quest (don't forget to use the helpful Zone Guide, too)—you won't miss out on anything important!

Choose Your Adventure

With this new universal tutorial coming with Update 30, all new players (and characters) can get the best possible start to their adventures in Tamriel. Even better, as part of the upcoming base-game patch, this new experience is free for everybody who owns The Elder Scrolls Online. Are you eager to create a new character and check out the new tutorial? Tell us via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook!

The Update 30 base-game patch arrives on PC/Mac and Stadia on June 1, and on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on June 8.
General:Update on Greymoor from ESO's Game Director

Originally published April 8, 2020. The original article can be found here.

500px|thumb|center|''Read a letter from ZeniMax Online Studio's Game Director, Matt Firor, regarding the latest studio updates and Greymoor's upcoming release.

ESO'' Community,

I hope this message finds all of you in good health. The number one priority for everyone on earth right now is our health and the health of our families. As you probably know, in response to the current pandemic, everyone at ZOS has been working from home since March 16. This is the first time we've ever tried remote work as a studio, and so far things are going well. It looks like we'll be able to ship Update 26 (with the Greymoor Chapter) about a week after we initially planned it.

Right now, we are on track for the PTS to be updated with Update 26 and Greymoor on April 20th. We will let you know if we run into unexpected problems which could delay the live launch beyond the current estimate of one week.

Also, please be aware that because all of France is on a work lockdown, we have been unable to record the French voice actors necessary to include French VO in Update 26/Greymoor. Because of this, when that update launches, there will be French text and subtitles as normal but only English voice-over for new content. As there are no plans yet to re-open French recording studios, we don't know when French VO will be ready. Please note that in normal conditions it takes 2-3 months to record and update the game with VO for a Chapter.

Our player population is larger than normal right now as many of you are stuck at home, and video games like ESO are a wonderful distraction from a daily life that is not always awesome. We've had some really fun ESO events this month, including our ongoing Anniversary Jubilee, so we will all be watching for any issues caused by an already large population playing ESO getting even larger.

These are trying times for all of us, and we are doing everything we can to stay on track. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy getting away from your daily life for a bit by adventuring in ESO–and wash your damn hands.

General:Greymoor Launch Date Update from ESO's Game Director

Originally published April 28, 2020. The original article can be found here.

500px|thumb|center|''The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor has a new official launch date! Read a new letter from ZeniMax Online Studio's Game Director Matt Firor on when you can explore the new Chapter.

As always, I hope this message finds all of you in good health. This is an extremely challenging time for the world, and I hope you are concentrating on the well-being of you and your families. All of us at ZOS have been doing the same, working from home, chatting on video, and sharing far too many memes with one another–all while working hard on ESO. We long for the time when we can "return to normal," but for now, we are–like many of you–trying to make the best of things.

Despite the challenges, we are still on track for Update 26 and the Greymoor Chapter to launch only one week late. Now that Update 26 is on the PTS (check it out!), we are confident that we will be able to launch Tuesday, May 26th on PC/Mac and Tuesday, June 9th on Xbox One and PlayStation®4. 

Update: Note that due to build schedules and the certification process, the release dates displayed in the in-game Crown Store for The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor'' are incorrect. The correct release dates are May 26 for PC/Mac and June 9 for Xbox One and PlayStation®4.

This of course could change if something happens outside of our control. Remember, we haven't launched a major ESO update while working remotely before, and unforeseen problems can and do crop up.

As you are probably aware, we have more people playing ESO right now than at any point since 2015. We are very grateful that ESO is able to provide so many people a welcome respite from the ongoing crisis. So far our servers have been holding up under the strain of so much activity, but as the massive number of you playing does not seem to be subsiding, we have recently added more server capacity to PC EU to ensure that it stays that way.

We know that we still have a "delayed input" problem that prevents key and button presses from registering, especially in high-stress situations like Keep sieges in Cyrodiil, Trials, and other large PvE events. Our ongoing investigation of this has been going well, and we will have an update for you as soon as we have something to say. We–as players of the game as well as developers–know how frustrating this problem can be.

Otherwise, we continue to hunt down and fix performance problems and work on both client and server optimizations, some of which are going live with Update 26. More information on this will come with the next monthly performance update from the team. Again, as regular players of the game, we know how annoying sudden performance hits can be, and we are doing everything we can to remedy the situation.

That's it for now. I hope all of you check out Update 26 and Greymoor on the PTS and are getting ready for its PC and Mac launch on May 26. Until then, stay safe and healthy, enjoy your time as much as you can sheltering in Tamriel, and wash your damn hands.

Online:Oblivion Portals

thumb|left|An Oblivion Portalthumb|right|An Oblivion Portal from a distanceright|thumb|Enemies spill forth from an Oblivion Portal in the wilds of Blackwood
Oblivion Portals are portals to the Atoll of Immolation public dungeon which appear at random around Blackwood and the Deadlands. Upon entering a portal, you must fight your way between islands to reach the Havocrel's Tower in the centre of the map. There you must defeat the Havocrel Duke of Storms to be able to shut down the machinery and return to Tamriel. 

Unlike other World Events, there is nothing on the map to indicate where or when an Oblivion Portal has opened; you must come across an open portal in the wilderness of Blackwood in order to take part. However, their vertical pillar of orange light can help identify them from a distance. When a portal spawns, Dremora will emerge but they do not need to be fought to enter the portal. 

For more information on what you might encounter within the portal, please see the main article.
 
Notable Loot
The final loot chest has a chance to contain the following items:
  antiquity lead for the Daedric Enchanting Station
  antiquity lead for the Death Dealer's Fete

Notes
Unlike other World Events, the final boss will eventually respawn in the main room.

Related Quests


Dialogue
Speaking with Brigadine Dorsuo before starting the related quest:
:''"Visitors aren't allowed to just wander about in Fort Blueblood. If you have business here, go see Commander Ortin."

Though he is not directly involved in the quest, Brigadine Dorsuo will have comments on the situation when you talk to him. When you first arrive, he will be guarding the entrance to the watchtower where Councilor Abor is staying.

If you speak to him before the commander:
:"I have my orders. No one is allowed into the watchtower without the express permission of Commander Ortin."

After you have received permission:
:"Commander Ortin gave you permission to enter the watchtower? All right, if he says so. Go on in."
:Were you on duty when the servant brought Councilor Abor's meal?
:"I was. Never left my post. Opened the door for the servant myself."
:Did you see where she went when she came back out?
:"Hmm. Now that you mention it, I don't actually remember seeing her emerge from the watchtower. She must have, of course. The only way in or out is through that door. Servants. I guess it's true that you never notice them unless you need them."

Inside the watchtower, you will find that Councilor Abor has been murdered, after some investigation you can leave to tell Commander Ortin what you found:
:"Don't tell me what you found in the watchtower. I'm just a simple brigadine. If you have something to report, tell it to the commander."

After you report to Ortin, he will give you permission to search for the missing servant:
:"You heard the commander. The kitchen is inside the headquarters building, right over there."''

You speak with the servants and find Talaise's body in the pantry, the assassin having killed her to take her place. You then can report the death to Commander Ortin, who tell you to find the other councilors:
:"A murder? Here in the fort? Who would commit such an atrocity? Go, do what the commander ordered. I have my own duties to perform."
Online:Atoll of Immolation

When a gate opens somewhere in either zone, you can enter it and will find yourself within this Public Dungeon.

The area consists of a ring of islands in a sea of lava, which are linked by portals. Your goal is to reach the Havocrel's Tower in the middle, where you can defeat the Duke of Storms and deactivate the machinery to complete the World Event.

While Blackwood is a target for conquest, the forces from the Atoll also invade the greater Deadlands to keep Mehrunes Dagon's followers in great fighting condition by keeping them on their toes.

Notes
While classified as a Public Dungeon, the Deadlands works differently from every other Public Dungeon released before it (including Imperial Sewers, which is also non-standard). There is no Skyshard, no completion objective, and no group event granting a Skill Point on completion. It also has more than a dozen  points of entry scattered throughout the Blackwood and Deadlands zones, rather than one location. The bosses (other than Salosuum and Havocrel) are not fixed. The overall format is more akin to World Events like Dark Anchors or Harrowstorms.
This location was originally simply known as The Deadlands when it was added with the Blackwood chapter. It was later renamed to the Atoll of Immolation in Update 32.

Online:Vinnus's Research

Quick Walkthrough
#Find ''Vinnus's Note within an Oblivion Portal.
#Pick up the   next to Vinnus Reburrus.
#Bring the Rune-Etched Stone to Orthus Pontanian in the Leyawiin Fighters Guild.

Detailed Walkthrough
While exploring the section of the Deadlands accessible via Oblivion Portal events, you may come across Vinnus's Note'', which is sitting next to his corpse. This can be found in the external space south of the island in the northwest corner. Reading this note will begin this quest.

In life, he was a member of the Fighters Guild who entered the Deadlands through a portal in search of a  . He found the stone, but perished before he could escape with it. You can acquiesce to his final wishes by taking the stone and a   to Orthus Pontanian in the Fighters Guild in Leyawiin.

Orthus was Vinnus's lover and will be saddened to hear the news. He will warily accept the stone from you and will give you a reward for bringing him the news.

Notes
You will need to start on the northwest outer island&mdash;not the eastern or southern outer island&mdash;from the Oblivion Portal. And then, hope that the second island it takes you to is the one to the south, not the one to the east.  
The quest can technically be shared between players, but this isn't very useful because you have to actually pick up an item from the island where the quest starts anyway.
If you start on the wrong island, or get sent to the wrong secondary island, you'll need to leave the dungeon and find a different Oblivion Portal.

500px|center|Endeavors within your Group & Activity Finder

Endeavors are straightforward daily and weekly tasks that can reward basic items (such as gold or experience) in addition to the new Seals of Endeavor currency.

For the first time, you can now earn those rare and exquisite items only found in Crown Crates via in-game activity. For more on Endeavors, check out this announcement article. Have fun!

Iron Atronach Crown Crates
A volcanic realm drifts silently through the void of Oblivion. Impossibly dense and boiling with malice, this molten hellscape produces only one thing in abundance: Iron Atronachs—towering behemoths driven by a relentless appetite for destruction. While few conjurers dare to call upon these titans, those that do gain powerful servants… or a grisly death.

Do you have the strength to tame these colossi? Summon up your iron will and claim these spoils of Oblivion for your own!

Also arriving tomorrow are the Iron Atronach Crown Crates. Within these sturdy storage squares, you’ll discover a host of steadfast items and collectibles, ideal for battling the forces of Destruction, that include the following:

General:Introducing Undaunted Pledges

Originally published December 11, 2014. The original article can be found here.

500px|thumb|center|Every dungeon-delver will want to check out this detailed guide to pledges.

Update 5 has brought lots of new adventure, including Undaunted Pledges, which offer unique rewards for clearing out Tamriel's most dangerous locales. The Undaunted, in their continuing crusade to battle deadly foes, are handing out these special quests to qualified adventurers from their new enclaves. Read on to learn all about pledges, how they work, and what you can earn by completing them:

400px|center|

Only adventurers who've seen enough battle can take on pledges—you'll need to be level 45 or higher to obtain them. When you reach 45, the Undaunted will contact you via in-game mail and invite you to their new enclaves, which are located near capital cities. Once you arrive, you'll be able to start picking up pledges and sharing in the spoils of conquest. Just sign your name in the pledge book to swear your dedication to taking on some of Tamriel's deadliest enemies without flinching! You'll get your first reward (a bronze key—more on those later) just for showing up at the Undaunted enclave.

400px|center|

There are two types of pledges: Non-Veteran and Veteran. Non-Veteran Pledges are available right away at level 45, and Veteran Pledges open up at Veteran Rank 1. You can have both a Veteran and Non-Veteran Pledge in your quest log at the same time, but you can only complete each kind of pledge once a day—even the mightiest heroes need to rest sometimes!

Pledges require you to complete a particular dungeon, and always have optional objectives your party can try to complete for better rewards. When you've completed the pledge, you'll return to the enclave for your reward: a bronze, silver, or gold (depending on performance and the type of pledge) key that unlocks special chests at the enclave, along with reputation with the Undaunted. To get a gold key, you'll have to complete difficult optional objectives in a Veteran Pledge, so make sure to bring allies who are up to the challenge!

400px|center|

The Undaunted chests can contain a variety of helpful loot, from valuable Ornate items and soul gems to unique items sets and attention-grabbing shoulder pieces fashioned from the very brutes you've slain (you can get the helms that go with them from the bosses themselves)! You'll be sure to get some great stuff for completing these dangerous tasks.

400px|center|

You're ready! Go forth, crush all the dungeons, and admire all your new loot.
