Clockwork City DLC Game Pack
With the Clockwork City DLC game pack, you'll explore an all-new zone and investigate the deadly mystery surrounding Sotha Sil's mechanical realm.

A Whole (Mechanical) World to Explore

Journey into Sotha Sil's Clockwork City, a great and intricate mechanism that duplicates Tamriel in metallic miniature. Take on two dangerous world bosses, explore new delves, and complete daily quests to earn a host of unique rewards.

A Clockwork Mystery

Something is amiss at the heart of the Clockwork City. Enter this mechanical wonderland and uncover a Daedric plot that threatens not only the Clockwork God's creation, but all of Tamriel. This new story quest line is similar in size to those found in the Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild DLC game packs, providing an exciting adventure for both new and old players alike.

The Asylum Sanctorium

Ready for a challenge like no other? The Asylum Sanctorium is an all-new 12-player Trial with a unique twist: you decide how difficult you want the experience to be. With the best and most powerful rewards offered for the greatest challenge, how will you take on the Sotha Sil's failed creations? You can find more information regarding this new Trial in our preview article.

Purchase Details
The Clockwork City DLC game pack is completely free to ESO Plus members or available for purchase for 2000 crowns from the in-game Crown Store. (To buy the pack, navigate to the in-game Crown Store and find it in the DLC section.)

Note that if your current ESO Plus membership lapses, you will lose access to the content until it is renewed or you purchase it from the Crown Store. While you need access to The Elder Scrolls Online base game in order to acquire and play the Clockwork City DLC game pack, The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind is not required.

'''Clockwork City Collector's Bundle'''

In addition to the DLC game pack, the Clockwork City Collector's Bundle will be also available for 4000 crowns from the in-game Crown Store.

This bundle includes the DLC game pack, the Clockwork Skeevaton pet, the Kagouti Fabricant mount, and Five Crown Experience Scrolls. You can find the Clockwork City Collector's Bundle in the Featured section of the Crown Store.

Enter the City and Earn A Free Pet!
Once you have acquired the Clockwork City DLC game pack via ESO Plus membership or the Crown Store, you can begin your adventure within Sotha Sil's greatest creation by the following methods:

Find Divayth Fyr's messenger in Mournhold's City Center to begin the quest "To The Clockwork City"
Travel to the Clockwork City and the Brass Fortress directly via your map
Like Coldharbour, it is located "outside" Tamriel on the map
Travel to a Friend or Guild mate already in the Clockwork City zone

Would you like a mechanical companion to join you on your adventures into the Clockwork City? When you first enter the Brass Fortress, you'll receive the Scintillant Dovah-Fly completely free!

You can activate your new pet by navigating to your Collections menu and selecting Non-Combat Pets.

Crazy King Added to Battlegrounds
As part of Update 16, we've introduced a new Battlegrounds game mode: Crazy King!

Seek out and capture banners that move around the map at random. Hold them to earn your team points, but be sure to always keep moving, as no capture point will ever stay in one place for long, and new ones are added as the game progresses!

Like its fellow Battlegrounds game modes, Crazy King is a chaotic, fast-paced PvP experience that'll challenge you to stay mobile. You can now play Crazy King as part of the Battlegrounds Grab Bag queue in the Group & Activity Finder. Participation in Crazy King matches contributes to the Land Grab leaderboard. Good luck!

Note: ESO: Morrowind is required to play Battlegrounds. 

Update 16 Base-Game Patch and Transmutation
Update 16 arrives with a base-game patch for all players, free of charge, including a host of fixes, balance changes, additions, and improvements.

Most notably, Update 16 includes the addition of the new Transmutation System, allowing you to change the Traits on your item. You can find everything you need to know about Transmutation in our FAQ article.

The Update 16 base-game patch also brings some improvements to performance. This includes an overhaul to how the game handles animations (reducing memory requirements) and optimizations to the way objects are rendered. This will help to improve frame rates, reduce load times, and stop some crashes.

In addition to this, there's a host of additional changes:
Trait Tracker – You can now see whether you've researched a Trait on an item!
Various fixes and updates to combat, gameplay, Alliance War, crafting, dungeons, balance, questing, and more
Crafting Writ Turn-In Improvements – Deliver writs at any turn-in site in Tamriel
New Home – The Orbservatory Prior in Clockwork City
Champion Point Increase – Raised by 30 to a total of 690
