Online:Patch/3.2.2

The Elder Scrolls Online v3.2.2 includes a number of combat and itemization balance changes, in addition to many fixes for content found in the Clockwork City. We've also increased the drop rates for Transmute Crystals from certain activities, which are detailed below; we'll continue to adjust and tweak the sourcing and drop rates of Transmute Crystals in future PTS patches.

During this week, we're testing a new rewards feature from the Grouping Tool that we'd like you to try out. Additionally, we've made further improvements to the character template. The size of this patch is approximately 454MB.

New Features / Updates / Big Changes
;Random LFG Dungeon Rewards

In this patch, we're testing a feature to utilize for future events that will grant an additional reward when you run a Random LFG Dungeon (Normal or Veteran, doesn't matter). Upon completion, the UI will state that you have received the typical normal rewards and an additional Wooden Toy Sword for testing purposes. You will also receive a different system mail from the ESO team referencing this PTS test. This will only occur for the first Random Dungeon you run, per character; subsequent runs should have their normal ‘subsequent runs' rewards and mail.

Note that during this test, you will not actually receive any rewards. Sorry to dash the hopes of those who dreamed of bopping Molag Bal with an actual Wooden Sword.

Please help us in testing this out so we can pinpoint any odd edge cases. Thanks!

Available Templates
We've further updated the PTS character template. Now, when you make a new character using a template, you will immediately learn all Crafting Styles currently available in the game. As such, we've removed the Crafter's Limitless Library item from the character template as it is no longer necessary.

Animal Companions
Feral Guardian: Activating the Guardian's Wrath or Guardian's Savagery special ability from this ability and its morphs will now grant your bear snare, immobilization, and crowd control immunity for 8 seconds.

Green Balance
Lotus Flower: This ability and its morphs will now restore health on partially-charged Heavy Attacks, equal to the amount of health restored on Light Attacks.
Secluded Grove: Reduced the healing over time done by this ability and its morphs by approximately 33%.
Developer Comments: We like that Secluded Grove is a cheap Ultimate that Wardens can use frequently for dangerous moments, but the amount of healing it was doing was too high for that low cost.''

Warden, Bug Fixes
Animal Companions
Betty Netch: The beam cast by the netch summoned from this ability and its morphs will now be hidden if your character is sneaking or invisible.

Housing
Furnishings
Corrected a number of icon mismatches and missing icons with new furnishings.

Dark Brotherhood Fixes & Improvements
Exploration & Itemization
Shadowy Supplier
Remains-Silent will no longer silently provide you with only a furnishing when she elects to give you one. You will now receive the furnishing alongside your normal materials for that choice.

Combat & Gameplay
Combat Balance
Dragonknight
Earthen Heart
Petrify: Reduced the range of this ability and its morphs to 8 meters from 15 meters.
''Developer Comments: This change helps further differentiate the Petrify and Stonefist abilities, and makes it more risky for the Dragonknight to apply Petrify's instant, unavoidable crowd control on an enemy.

Nightblade
Assassination
Executioner: This passive ability no longer requires you to get the killing blow with an Assassination ability to trigger its resource return; it now has a 2-second grace period after damaging the enemy with an Assassination ability where it can still trigger the proc. It also now restores either Magicka or Stamina, whichever you have a higher maximum of, and restores that resource instantly instead of over 6 seconds.
Developer Comments: This passive ability will be more useful for tanks who weren't able to get killing blows, and stamina Nightblades who can now get stamina. It also makes the proc more reliable in multiplayer situation where multiple players attacking the enemy.
Grim Focus: The Assassin's Will and Assassin's Scourge procs from this ability and its morphs no longer have a 100ms cast time, but the speed of the projectile has been reduced by approximately 10%.
Siphoning
Healthy Offering (Malevolent Offering morph): This morph now grants Minor Mending for the duration of the healing over time.
Known issue: The new morph effect tooltip has not yet been updated to match this new functionality.
Malevolent Offering:
This ability and its morphs now have an upfront health cost instead of costing health over time.
Reduced the healing over time duration to 8 seconds from 10 seconds.
Developer Comments: Changing Malevolent Offering to have an upfront Health cost preserves the risk/reward gameplay, while granting the Nightblade more control over when the risk is taken. With the old implementation, it was very difficult to know when burst damage would occur, putting the caster in an awkward position where they had low health and multiple Agony abilities ticking. It's also better for newer players to use as the ability can no longer kill you.''

Templar
Dawn's Wrath
Unstable Core (Eclipse morph): Increased the area of effect damage this morph deals when the ability ends by approximately 50%.

Armor
Light Armor
Annulment: Casting this ability and its morphs now requires that you wear 5 pieces of Light Armor.
Medium Armor
Evasion: Casting this ability and its morphs now requires that you wear 5 pieces of Medium Armor.
Heavy Armor
Immovable: Casting this ability and its morphs now requires that you wear 5 pieces of Heavy Armor. We also increased the duration of this ability to 20 seconds from 13.5 at Rank IV.
''Developer Comments: We wanted to make each of the armor types feel more distinct from each other and have you make a more impactful decision when selecting Light, Medium or Heavy. Immovable's duration was increased duration to help it feel different from the other abilities that provide major Resolve and Ward, and make it worth the button press for tanks who wish to spend Stamina in this way.''

Champion System
The Tower
Siphoner: This champion passive now reduces the enemy's Health, Magicka, and Stamina Recovery by 25% at 100 points, up from 15%.
Developer Comments: Siphoner will now be a better counter against builds that are able to live for an extremely long time through healing and resource restore.

Combat Fixes & Improvements
General
Fixed an issue where weapon enchantments would not proc against a target that blocked the attack.

Sorcerer
Daedric Summoning
Summon Charged Atronach (Summon Storm Atronach morph): The Atronach summoned by this morph will now use one large, point blank area of effect attack instead of five small circular damage zones around it. This should improve the reliability of it hitting targets with that attack.

Itemization Balance
Item Sets
Concentrated Force (Asylum Destro Staff): This Item Set's proc now causes every second Force Shock you cast to always apply the Burning, Concussion, and Chilled status effects. The bonus visual effects on Force Shock will now only display when this proc occurs, instead of on every cast of Force Shock.
Note: The non-perfect version of this item set causes every third Force Shock you cast to proc the elemental status effects instead.
Developer Comments: This change still maintains the design of empowering some of your Force Shock casts, but prevents you from being able to instantly start any fight by applying those powerful elemental status effects on an enemy.
Livewire: Reduced the cooldown on this Item Set's proc to 8 seconds from 10 seconds.

Itemization Fixes & Improvements
Item Sets
Engine Guardian: The beam cast by the Dwemer Sphere summoned from this Item Set will now be hidden if your character is sneaking or invisible.
Unfathomable Darkness: Fixed an issue where this Item Set's proc would interrupt any ability casts or actions you were doing.

Base Game Fixes & Improvements
Art & Animation
Figure
Fixed the height, size, and angle of numerous tassets, bolt-ons, and pauldrons for many armors and costumes.

Animation
Taller races now sit in chairs correctly.

Crafting & Economy
Crafting Writs
Enchanting, Blacksmithing, Clothing, and Woodworking Writs now indicate that the required items must be standard (white) quality.
Crafting Writs now direct you to deliver your goods to the nearest Writ Quartermaster instead of a specific turn-in site.
Now that Crafting Writs can be turned in at any turn-in site, you are no longer required to have access to the Hollow City before you're given the tier of Crafting Writ that was previously turned in.
Provisioning Writs now indicate that the required recipes are available for purchase from Chefs and Brewers.

Alchemy
Fixed an issue that caused several crafted poisons to last the same duration whether they were crafted with three matching traits or two matching traits.

Exploration & Itemization
General
Increased the rewards for opening a Master Chest when you have the Treasure Hunter passive.

Cyrodiil Vendor
Every weekend, Adhazabi Aba-daro the Golden will now sell four sets of jewelry instead of two.
In a given week, she will sell either all rings or all necklaces.
These will only appear in the Trait that the set's jewelry comes in already.
Overland set items are bind on equip, and Dungeon set items are bind on pickup (matching their bind type when they drop in-game).
Pricing will depend on the item's sourcing.
Jewelry from Overland item sets costs 150,000g or 300,000 AP.
Jewelry from Dungeons costs 250,000g or 500,000 AP (the cost of all Jewelry on the vendor at present).
Two jewelry sets each weekend will be from the Overland sets, and two will be Dungeon sets.
The jewelry will remain Gold quality and CP160, and the sourcing of Monster Mask / Shoulders are unchanged from previous iterations.
Note: All of the above was in patch v3.2.0.

Eidetic Memory
“The Memo to Captain Siro” in Malabal Tor can now be properly read. 

Transmutation
Increased the drop rates for Transmute Crystals from certain activities:
Completing Maelstrom Arena on Veteran mode now grants 4 Transmute Crystals.
Completing Dragonstar Arena on Veteran mode now grants 5 Transmute Crystals.
Rewards for the Worthy may now drop Large Uncracked Transmutation Geodes.
Your first Rewards for the Worthy each day will always contain one of these Geodes.
These Geodes can contain up to 30 Transmute Crystals, and always have at least 3 Transmute Crystals. Rewards for the Worthy grants these Geodes more often than before as well. 
As part of this change, Rewards for the Worthy are now contained in a bag. 
The "Unidentified Transmutation Geodes" found from final bosses in Dungeons are now known as "Uncracked Transmutation Geodes".

Housing
Furnishings
Fixed an issue where interactable furnishings would occasionally lose their interact prompt when placed very far away from the entrance to the home.
