Online:Patch/2.1.0

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited v2.1, our first DLC game pack: Imperial City! We have some really exciting content in store for you.

As previously mentioned in this blog article, the Imperial City DLC game pack will be available to purchase for 2,500 crowns in the Crown Store when it is released. However, for the purpose of thorough testing, all content will be available to test on the PTS. We will be supplying you with crowns at the beginning of the testing period to "purchase" Imperial City in the Crown Store – you will need to complete this step in order to have access to the DLC game pack.

Take a nostalgia trip as you wander through the Imperial City Districts and Sewers, though be on your guard – other players will be lurking around every corner trying to slay you for your Tel Var Stones. You can also gather a group and try to conquer the White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison; both are 4-player instanced dungeons. We've also added almost two dozen new item sets, a number of fun, new collectibles, and have introduced two new motifs: Xivkyn and Glass!

In addition to Imperial City, we have made many improvements to Cyrodiil, its campaigns, and rewards which you can read more about below.

Due to the Veteran Rank increase with this update, every dungeon will now scale to the maximum Veteran Rank - VR16 - and we have also added three new Undaunted Pledges for you to complete.

Along with all the new content and systems, we have made many improvements and fixes to existing content including combat, gameplay, crafting, dungeons, quests, game performance, and more. Due to the number of fixes in this update, all skill points will be refunded upon login.

We've copied all PC North American megaserver characters to the PTS, and we look forward to reading your feedback from this latest update!

New Features / Updates / Big Changes - DLC Game Pack
Imperial City
We are pleased to announce the Imperial City is now open for battle! You will need to be at least level 10 in order to enter the Imperial City, but will be battle leveled according to the rules of your particular campaign. This new PvP space includes the Imperial City Districts and the extensive Imperial Sewers network. Fight the elite Xivkyn forces of Molag Bal, and increase your might by spending new Tel Var Stones on items more powerful than anywhere in Tamriel! Be on your guard as enemy alliance members lurk around every corner throughout the Imperial City Districts and Imperial Sewers to take those very stones from you in their own quest for glory! The Imperial City and the Imperial Sewers are aimed at small groups, but if you're highly skilled, you can try going through alone.
New Captains have been stationed next to each Grand Warlord. Find them to get the initial quest leading to the Imperial City.
Aldmeri Dominion: Captain Mulamurr and Captain Sireril
Daggerfall Covenant: Captain Durida and Captain Veranim
Ebonheart Pact: Captain Alesace and Captain Rythe
Three entry locations to the Imperial City are located in Cyrodiil off the Lake Rumare coast. These will be visible on your map.
Access to Imperial City is granted to all alliances in the Haderus campaign, regardless of current Keep ownership.

Imperial Sewers
The Imperial Sewers are a large PvP public dungeon that also contains the home base – a safe area – for each alliance.
Merchants and crafting stations are housed in each alliance home base.
Each alliance home base also includes the transit hub, a collection of ladders that each lead to one of the Imperial Districts above ground.
The Imperial Sewer network contains many perils including new Xivkyn Elite Guard, bosses, Trove and Cunning Scamps, trapped chests and Coldharbour portals leading to mysterious events.
Within the Imperial Sewers, there are six ladders that also lead to the districts. These are not as safe as the ladders accessible from your alliance's home base.
Resurrecting within the Imperial Sewers will take you back to your alliance's Imperial City home base.
There are two ways you can leave the Imperial City: by way of the Imperial City Prison or White-Gold Tower, and through your alliance's home base in the Imperial Sewers.
If you leave the Imperial City by way of exiting the Imperial City Prison or White-Gold Tower dungeons, you will return to your alliance's capital city.
To leave the Imperial City, you go through your alliance's home base in the Imperial Sewers, the same way you came in. This will return you to your home base in Cyrodiil (the same campaign you entered through.)

Imperial City Districts
The Imperial City Districts are an open PvP area that contains the entrenched forces of Molag Bal, his elite Xivkyn army, and the corrupted Imperial Legion, "Legion Zero."
Each Imperial District has a unique story which, once completed, unlocks repeatable daily quests.
Each of the six Imperial Districts features a Trophy Vault. The doors to these vaults are magically sealed by forces unknown, and you must collect 60 trophy items by killing monsters in the Imperial City in order to enter the vault. Inside, you'll find a chest full of valuable items.
Be on your guard for large roaming bosses that patrol the streets!
Resurrecting within the Imperial Districts will take you to an elevated platform within the District for your alliance.
You can find unique crafting stations safely nestled within the Imperial Districts as well.

Tel Var Stones
Every monster has a chance to drop a new currency called Tel Var Stones.
This currency can be spent on new armor, lock boxes, and general equipment in your alliance home base in the Imperial Sewers, as well as deposited in your bank.
Bosses and more challenging monsters will drop a greater number of Tel Var Stones than regular monsters.
As you pass certain thresholds of Tel Var Stones that you are carrying, you'll gain a multiplier to all future Tel Var Stones you collect from monster kills.
If you die to another player character, they will get all the Tel Var Stones you currently have on your character.
The amount of Tel Var Stones will be split amongst all player characters that contributed to your demise.

White-Gold Tower
Race to the top of the White-Gold Tower in pursuit of a stolen Elder Scroll—but is the top of the tower even in Tamriel anymore? What secrets does Regent Clivia Tharn have up her Imperial sleeves?
The White-Gold Tower is a standard 4-player PvE dungeon.
The minimum level requirement for White-Gold Tower is level 10, but the recommended level is 25.
There is one Trophy Vault located in the White-Gold Tower that requires 150 trophy items only found off Veteran bosses in the White-Gold Tower, in order to open it.

Imperial City Prison
Even before the Planemeld, this grim complex just outside the walls of the Imperial City was never the happiest site in Cyrodiil. Since Molag Bal ceded it to the worst of his Daedra, it's become a place out of a horrific nightmare.
The Imperial City Prison is a standard 4-player PvE dungeon.
The minimum level requirement for the Imperial City Prison is level 10, but the recommended level is 35.
There is one Trophy Vault located in the Imperial City Prison that requires 150 trophy items only found off Veteran bosses in the Imperial City Prison, in order to open it.

Fishing in Imperial City
Adventurers will find the moats of Imperial City particularly rife with fish, more so than elsewhere in Tamriel. However, the groundskeepers normally responsible for tending to these piscine communities are, unfortunately, dead and/or Daedra. Be warned!

New Item Sets
This update includes approximately two dozen new item sets to seek out and acquire! These can be crafted at special locations within the Imperial City, purchased from Tel Var Armorer and Tel Var Greater Armorer merchants, or obtained from the White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison dungeons.

Xivkyn Style Motif
The Imperial City's Daedric forces bring with them a new style of crafting, based on a fusion of Imperial and Daedric artistry: the Xivkyn style.
You can learn to craft in the Xivkyn style by finding the Chapters for it, which are sometimes kept in certain well-warded chests in Imperial City.
These chests require items that drop from many Daedra and their servants to open.
Once you've found a Chapter, you must be at least Rank 9 in the Metalworking, Tailoring, or Woodworking passives to permanently learn the style.
To actually craft Xivkyn-styled gear, you'll also need some Charcoal of Remorse, which can be purchased at Tel Var General merchants in your alliance's base in the Imperial Sewers.
Once you know the style and have the materials, you can craft the Xivkyn style at any equipment crafting bench, both in and out of the Imperial City.

New Achievements
We have added a number of new achievements to the game, all tied to the Imperial City. These can be found under the Alliance War or Dungeon and Group Dungeon achievement categories.

New Collectibles
We have added new Collectibles that you can permanently add to your collection:
The Necrotic Hoarvor Pet can be acquired by completing the achievement "Imperial City Challenger." This achievement is the ultimate test of your skills in the new Veteran Dungeons found in the Imperial City.
The Soul Shriven skin and the Stonefire Scamp Pet can rarely be obtained by defeating the elite Daedric forces and their master in the darkest depths of the Imperial Sewers.
The Xivkyn Dreadguard, Xivkyn Tormentor, and Xivkyn Augur Polymorphs can very rarely be found in Imperial Reward containers, purchasable from Tel Var Lockbox merchants and Tel Var Greater Lockbox merchants who are found in your alliance's base in the Imperial City Sewers.

New Features / Updates / Big Changes - Base Game Pack
Cyrodiil Updates
Several major updates are going into Cyrodiil this patch which will include reinforcement to Scroll Temples, Campaign changes, and quality of life adjustments.
The Former Emperor buffs are being removed from the game.
You will only get Emperor buffs while you are actively Emperor.
You will be granted the Emperor skill line and abilities upon earning Emperorship, without the need to spend ability points.
Anyone that has spent points in the Emperor skill line will be refunded those skill points.
Elder Scroll Temples now have a barrier around Scrolls which are up when their corresponding gates are closed. This barrier will drop only when the gates are open.
The Battle Spirit buff has been adjusted and now has 30% more damage reduction, 35% less healing received, and 50% less damage shield strength.
Increased the under population Alliance Point bonus that alliances receive to 20% from 10%.
Under population scoring bonuses will now apply quadruple the scoring points earned.

Increased the amount of stone, food, and ore generated at resources based on the "Base Resources Increased" upgrade by 40%.
There is a new camera setting available for siege weapons that will constrict the camera to the movement of the targeting reticle of the weapon. This can be found in the Settings > Camera menu.
Reduced the cost to re-assign your campaign at the end of a campaign to 50 Alliance Points from 100 Alliance Points.
You can no longer travel to another player character that's in a PvP zone.
Campaign buffs will now be applied only in PvP zones.

Cyrodiil Campaign Changes
Campaigns are undergoing rule changes for encouraging different styles of gameplay within the campaigns, including non-veteran campaigns now lasting 7 days instead of 5 days.
Azura: Ownership of keeps, resources, Elder Scrolls, and outposts will generate one point each per scoring cycle, and lasts 30 days.
Blackwater Blade (non-Veteran only): Ownership of keeps, resources, Elder Scrolls, and outposts will generate one point each per scoring cycle, and lasts 7 days.
Chillrend: Keeps, outposts, and resources will generate zero points. Ownership of Elder Scrolls will generate one point per scoring cycle, and lasts 7 days.
Haderus: Keeps, outposts, and Elder Scrolls will generate zero points. Ownership of resources will generate one point per scoring cycle, and lasts 7 days.
Thornblade: Resources, outposts, and Elder Scrolls will generate zero points. Ownership of keeps will generate one point per scoring cycle, and lasts 7 days.

Cyrodiil Reward Improvements
Eleven existing Item Sets have been expanded and made more available in Cyrodiil, and we've also improved the loot you receive at the end of a Campaign.
The Rewards for the Worthy can now potentially include items from a wide variety of existing item sets, and will include every level and Veteran Rank so they can be enjoyed by anyone of any level.
We've significantly increased the amount of gold you get from end-of-campaign mails and from Leaderboard mails.
If you are a part of the winning Alliance and have earned a significant amount of AP during the Campaign, you will also be awarded with a bevy of loot, similar to the Leaderboard mails but of a lesser quality.
These items will always be from one of the item sets found in the Rewards for the Worthy or Leaderboard mails.
All end-of-campaign mails now include a number of Keep Wall Masonry Repair Kits.
If your Alliance was in first place, you'll receive 20 kits.
If your Alliance was in second place, you'll receive 10 kits.
If your Alliance was in third place, you'll receive 5 kits.
Removed the Top 5% Leaderboard Campaign rewards.



Itemization Updates
Three new item sets (Agility, Endurance, and Willpower) have been made widely available through all Dungeons and in the Imperial City.
These simple sets provide only stat bonuses at two and three pieces worn, and are made up of only weapons, shields, rings, and necklaces.
These items can sometimes be found by killing the final bosses in any Dungeon, and can also be found in the warded chests of the Imperial City.

Veteran Rank Updates
The maximum attainable Veteran Rank has been increased to VR16. In addition, we've made some adjustments so you can progress through Veteran Ranks more rapidly:
15% decrease in the amount of XP it takes to gain a Veteran Rank
100% more XP for all public dungeons
50% more XP for all Veteran Rank quests
20% more XP in Craglorn

Dungeon Scaling
Every Dungeon now scales up to Veteran Rank 16 which will allow items, such as Monster Masks, to drop at the highest achievable level.

Undaunted Pledges
Three new Undaunted Pledges have been added for Veteran Ranked player characters:
Veteran City of Ash Pledge
White-Gold Tower Pledge
Imperial City Prison Pledge
The main objectives for each pledge in the White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison can be completed in either Normal or Veteran Mode. However, the optional Gold Key Challenge can only be completed in Veteran Mode.

Glass Style Motif
The secrets to crafting Glass arms and armor have begun to be revealed!
You can learn to craft in the Glass style by finding the Chapters or the Book for it. These Chapters have been torn into unreadable Fragments by the ravages of time and travel, but can occasionally be found slipped into the Writ rewards for Blacksmiths, Clothiers, and Woodworkers.
Once you've gathered ten Fragments, you can reconstitute them into a readable Chapter (or, if you're exceptionally lucky, the whole Book) with some Merethic Restorative Resin.
This Resin is sold by Mystics around the world for a hefty price.
You must be Rank 10 in the Metalworking, Tailoring, or Woodworking passives to understand the style's intricacies and learn it permanently.
You'll also need some Malachite to actually craft an item in the Glass style.
Malachite Shards can be found in Treasure Chests around the world. Chests with more durable and difficult locks are more likely to contain them, but the chests that require a Treasure Map to find have the best chance by a wide margin.
Once you've collected ten Malachite Shards, you can refine them into a single chunk of Malachite at any equipment crafting bench, but know that this will bind the Malachite to your account, making it untradeable.
Once you know the style and have the materials, you can craft Glass gear at any equipment crafting bench.

New Crafting Tiers, Materials, and Recipes
Added new solvents for Alchemy.
Veteran Rank 10 waters can be found in Craglorn.
Veteran Rank 15 waters can be found within the Imperial City.
Added new base crafting materials for Blacksmithing, Woodworking, and Clothier.
These can be found by deconstructing the equipment items found in the Imperial City, or from Tel Var vendors.
Added new Potency runes for Veteran Ranks 15 and 16.
These can only be found within the Imperial City.
Added a new Essence rune, and its associated new enchantments.
This Essence rune can be acquired by completing particularly dangerous content within the Imperial City.
Added new recipes for Provisioning.
These will produce Veteran Rank 15 foods and drinks, and can be found anywhere recipes would normally be found, including the Imperial City.
Added new ranks to the Metalworking, Solvent Proficiency, Tailoring, Potency Improvement, and Woodworking passives, reflecting the higher-level objects created.
These ranks require their respective trade skills to be at Level 50.

Inventory Upgrades
We've added three ranks of bag upgrades, bringing the maximum possible inventory size up to 200 (this includes your Riding Capacity skill). These new bag upgrades can be purchased at any bag vendor with a gold cost that follows the existing pattern for bag upgrades.

Battle-leveling for Veteran Ranks
Player characters of Veteran Rank 1-13 will now be battle-leveled to VR14 in Cyrodiil if you have the battle leveling option toggled on in the Options menu. Previously, battle-leveling only applied up to level 50.

Known Issues
Imperial City
You will occasionally not be able to interact with some objects, NPCs, or doors; this issue is inconsistent, but will be fixed before the update goes live.
You may run into an issue while fighting Dredaza the Ringmaster in the Arena District where you're unable to attack her. The only current workaround is to die, and restart the battle.

UI
When sending mail through your friends list, the UI from the Xbox One game console will unintentionally appear. You will be unable to utilize the hotkeys at the bottom of your screen, and will also be unable to attach gold.
