Online:Patch/1.5.0.0

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v1.5.0.0 and the Shadows of the Hist DLC Game Pack! This update fixes several performance issues including random load screens and low framerate, plus invisible NPCs or fixtures. In addition, we also fixed the issue where your game could crash when near the Clothing Station in Orsinium.

Similar to previous ones, this update comes in two parts–the DLC Game Pack and the base game patch. The base game patch will be available to everyone who owns The Elder Scrolls Online and the DLC Game Pack will automatically download with it, allowing you instant access to the new content when you purchase it, or activate an ESO Plus membership.

Anyone who owns ESO and has an active ESO Plus membership will also automatically have access to the Shadows of the Hist DLC Game Pack and the ability to freely dye your costumes. If your ESO Plus membership ends or lapses, you will no longer have access to the DLC Game Pack content and areas, but you will still have any items you earned while you had access. Any dyed costumes will retain their applied dyes as well.

If you do not have an active ESO Plus membership, you can purchase Shadows of the Hist for 1,500 crowns via the in-game Crown Store.

In this update, you'll be able to conquer two all-new 4 player dungeons – the Cradle of Shadows and Ruins of Mazzatun. These dungeons offer new item sets, skins, Monster Masks and achievements!

The base game patch features a number of exciting new features including console text chat, character re-customization through the new Style Parlor, the town capture system in Cyrodiil, improvements to existing Trials, and more. In addition, we've made several adjustments to the racial passives, and also increased the Champion Point cap to 531. You'll also find we've made several fixes and improvements to existing content as well.

We hope you enjoy our latest update, which is approximately 19GB in size. Enjoy!

New Features / Updates / Big Changes
DLC Game Pack
;Two New Dungeons
Grab three friends and prepare to take on the Cradle of Shadows and Ruins of Mazzatun, two all-new Argonian-themed dungeons found in Shadowfen that make up the Shadows of the Hist DLC Game Pack. These dungeons scale to the group leader's level, just like every other dungeon in ESO, and offer a Normal and Veteran mode and new item sets to collect. Here are a few details about each:
Cradle of Shadows
The Argonians of the Dark Brotherhood need your help against a cadre of rogue assassins who threaten to hurl all of Black Marsh into bloody chaos. Fight your way into the Cradle of Shadows to uncloak the secrets of the twisted Silken Ring!
The Cradle of Shadows dungeon features three new item sets, challenging new achievements with an appearance reward, and a new monster mask set.
Ruins of Mazzatun
Venture into Mazzatun, the "Puzzle City" of the Xit-Xaht tribe of Argonians, who have been forcing other Lizardfolk to work as slave labor on a project that has driven their masters … mad! Can you free them in time?
The Ruins of Mazzatun dungeon features three new item sets, challenging new achievements with an appearance reward, and a new monster mask set.

;New Monster Masks
Two new Monster Mask sets are being introduced in Update 11—both are attainable in the new Shadows of the Hist dungeons.
The headpieces for Mighty Chudan's Monster Mask set can be obtained by defeating the final boss of the Ruins of Mazzatun.
The headpieces for Velidreth's Monster Mask set can be obtained by defeating the final boss of the Cradle of Shadows.
The shoulder pieces for both Monster Mask sets can be found in the Undaunted Pledge chests.

;New Item Sets
There are six new item sets being introduced in Update 11. Here are the details:
Three new sets are available from the Ruins of Mazzatun dungeon: Aspect of Mazzatun, Amberplasm, and Heem-Jas' Retribution.
Three new sets are available from the Cradle of Shadows dungeon: Hand of Mephala, Gossamer, and Widowmaker.
For both dungeons, these set items can be obtained by defeating the bosses found in those dungeons, and by completing the non-repeatable quest for each dungeon.

;Four New Motifs
There are four new Motifs coming to Tamriel: Dark Brotherhood, dro-m'Athra, Minotaur, and Order of the Hour.
Chapters of the Dark Brotherhood style motif - or, rarely, the full Motif Book - can be obtained by completing Sacraments for the Dark Brotherhood.
Black Beeswax, the Dark Brotherhood Style Item, can be obtained by completing Dark Brotherhood Contracts.
Chapters of the dro-m'Athra style motif - or, rarely, the full Motif Book - can be obtained by completing the quest to clear the Maw of Lorkhaj.
Defiled Whiskers, the Style Item for the dro-m'Athra style, can be obtained from the quest to clear the Maw of Lorkhaj, or from defeating the bosses of the Maw of Lorkhaj - rarely on Normal mode, guaranteed from every boss on Veteran mode, and with multiples from Rakkhat on Veteran Hard mode.
Chapters of the Minotaur style motif, or rarely the full Motif Book, occasionally from the Daily Quest to kill the Minotaur boss in the Gold Coast.
The Daily Quest to kill the Minotaur boss in the Gold Coast, and killing the Minotaur group boss, will occasionally drop Oxblood Fungus, the full Style Item.
You can obtain Oxblood Fungus Spores, the raw version of the Style Item, rarely from killing lesser Minotaurs all over the Gold Coast.
Chapters of the Order of the Hour style motif, or rarely the full Motif Book, occasionally drop from the Daily Quest to kill the champions of the Kvatch Arena.
Pearl Sand, the full style item, can always be obtained from the Daily Quest to kill the champions of the Kvatch Arena, or occasionally from the Kvatch Arena champions themselves.
Grains of Pearl Sand, the raw version of the style item, can be found in resource nodes throughout the Gold Coast.

Base Game Patch
;Console Text Chat
You now have the option to use text chat on your console as a way to communicate with other ESO players!
Text chat is off by default, and can be enabled the following ways:
If you already have a keyboard connected, you can simply press Enter to open the text chat HUD.
You can press the Menu and Map buttons on your controller simultaneously.
You can also go to the Social settings menu to turn the HUD chat display on.
Once you've enabled text chat, the window will appear when other players send messages, and will fade after a short time if nobody's talking.
You can also open the window yourself by pressing Enter or backslash.
You will be able to use text chat and voice chat simultaneously.
Keep in mind messages sent through text chat aren't always proximity-based, and their reach depends on the channel you're typing in.
An expanded version of the text chat window can be found in the Social menu under Text Chat. This lets you view more messages at once, scroll through previous messages, select a player for social actions, and view linked items.

;Hel Ra Citadel and Aetherian Archive Improvements
Venture once again into Hel Ra Citadel and Aetherian Archive!
Both Trials now feature a Normal and Veteran version.
Monsters have had their difficulty increased, as well as the level of their rewards.
Both Trials will scale to the level of the group leader, much like Dungeons do currently.
When you start the Trial at max level (Champion 160) in Veteran mode, you will qualify for the Leaderboards.
Items and Weapon Sets obtained in the Trial have been updated to scale up to max level, which is Champion 160.
We've also updated the itemization in the Aetherian Archive and Hel Ra Citadel Trials.
The Stygian set, which is currently found in Hel Ra Citadel, has been replaced with the Hide of the Werewolf set.
The Necromancer set has been removed from the drops in question, and will not be sourced from either Trial. It will, however, be sourced in a different way in a future update.
Below are the sets that can be sourced from each Trial:
Aetherian Archive
Darkstride
Ice Furnace
Necropotence
Storm Knight
Warlock
Werewolf Hide
Hel Ra Citadel
Akaviri Dragonguard
Nikulas
Red Mountain
Salvation
Silks of the Sun
Syrabane's Grip

;Dragonstar Arena Improvements
Test your strength against the denizens of the Dragonstar Arena!
Monsters have had their difficulty increased, as well as the level of their rewards.
Items and Weapon Sets obtained in the Arena have been updated to scale up to max level, which is Champion 160.
Four older item sets have been updated, and drop in Dragonstar Arena at Champion 160. They are:
Archer's Mind
Destruction Master
Footman
Healer

;Name Change (Crown Store)
You can now change your character's name using Name Change Tokens from the Crown Store!
Once purchased these tokens are utilized at the Character Select screen to select a new name for one character.
The token will not be consumed until a valid name is successfully chosen.
If you cancel the change, you will retain your token.

;Appearance and Race Change (Crown Store)
In addition to changing character names, you can now change your characters' appearance as well as their race.
Appearance and Race Change Tokens are available through the Crown Store and as with Name Change Tokens, are utilized at the Character Select screen.
Appearance change allows for complete modification of the character's appearance, including but not limited to hair styles and colors, adornments, face and body markings, facial features, eye color, age, body and face shape, as well as selected voice.  Race Change Tokens take this a step further, allowing for the character to become any valid available race for the character and account. (Note: The Imperial Race and the Any Race, Any Alliance upgrades may be required in some circumstances.)
When changing your character's race, any Skill Points spent on the Racial Skill Line will be refunded and the progress made in that Skill Line will be transferred to the new race.

;Costume Dyeing (Exclusive to ESO Plus)
ESO Plus members can now dye their costumes (and hats!) via a new tab at any Dye Station using any dyes they've unlocked via achievements.
This works the same as armor dyeing.
The applied dye pattern is unique on a per-character basis, allowing you to use the same unlocked collectible costumes and hats on multiple characters with independent dye color customization.

;Dye Stamps (Crown Store)
You can now purchase consumable Dye Stamps from the Crown Store.
Each Dye Stamp comes preset with specific colors and color order—they can be applied to your Costumes and Hats, regardless of whether or not you have unlocked the associated dye colors via the Achievement System.
You can purchase multiple of the same Dye Stamp and store them in stacks in your bank for later use. You can preview the new look prior to purchase and prior to application of the Dye Stamp.
Rare dyes unlocked from achievements are not available on dye stamps. However, other colors that are unavailable as Dyes may be.
Dye Stamps will cycle out of availability regularly to introduce others. Beginning in September, there will be a weekly cadence. Until then, the following Dye Stamps will be available with this patch:
Forest: Grape Garden
Necrotic: Vibrant Mid Year Hues
Hoarfrost: Purple and Dignity
Alchemical: Olive Dragoon
Autumn: Hearthfire Vixen
Necrotic: Encumbered Magenta
First Frost: Cranberry Cake
Forest: Mauve Coffee
Autumn: Ash Yam
Hoarfrost: Sandcastle and Grit
First Frost: Tooled Leather
Alchemical: Olive and Merlot

;Trade Bind-on-Pickup Items in Dungeons & Trials to Group Members
Equipment looted while in a Dungeon or Trial group can now be traded to active group members up to two hours after being looted. 
Group members must have been present when the items dropped, and in the instance (if applicable), in order for trading to be an option.
Items that can be traded will have modified tooltips indicating how long they can be traded for, as well as to whom.
Not all items that are bind-on-pickup can be traded. Monster Set shoulder pieces, for example, are not tradeable by design.
This system is not exclusive to Dungeons and Trials—the system is universal, but most of our bind-on-pickup items that are tradeable do drop in Dungeons and Trials.

;Cyrodiil Town Capture
Introducing the long-requested addition of captureable towns in Cyrodiil! 
Cropsford, Vlastarus, and Bruma will be available for capture, offering you a new place to battle over.
Each town contains three flags to control, with varying degrees of guards at each flag. 
One flag has no guards at all, one has a few nearby with merchants, and another is fully guarded much like the Imperial City District flags. 
Ownership of a town grants that Alliance another place to respawn from PVP deaths, as well as access to town merchants that sell purple-quality gear set pieces for Alliance Points.

;Champion Point Cap
The Champion Point cap has been raised by a total of 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation) to 531 Champion Points. 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.

;Updates to Racial Passive Abilities
To support the new Race Change feature, racial passive abilities for each race have been adjusted and rebalanced.
Each race now has a flavorful and thematic non-combat bonus added to the first free passive ability of their skill line.
Weaker passive abilities have been also improved to help with the overall combat viability and balance of each race.
Please see the Base Game Patch Combat & Gameplay notes for full details.

;Undaunted Chests Improvements
We've improved the rewards from the Undaunted chests!
The items you obtain from these chests will now always scale up to your current level and Champion rank.
We've also increased the availability of Monster Set shoulder items in these chests.
You will always find a Monster Set shoulder piece in the Gold chest, often in the Silver chest, and occasionally in the Bronze chest.

;Leather Material from Clothier Surveys
Clothier Survey sites of all tiers now include a small number of a new Furrier Trap harvest node, which can only be found at these locations. These Furrier Traps may be harvested for raw leather material at the same tier as the clothier plant nodes.

;New Achievements
Update 11 introduces over 30 new achievements for the Shadows of the Hist dungeons—Cradle of Shadows and Ruins of Mazzatun—and the scaled Trials.

;Ability Tooltip Tags
Several abilities will now display the primary role (tank, healer, damage) for which they are best suited.

;World Building
A few new buildings were added to several zones, and the zone maps have been updated accordingly.
These buildings are not accessible at this time.
In some of these locations, wildlife, and/or bystanders were removed or adjusted to make way for the new construction. In addition, some residents have been moved from their homes, and those buildings are no longer accessible.
These changes are in preparation for the upcoming release of Player Housing.
