Online:Patch/3.2.1

Released on September 25 2017.

The Elder Scrolls Online v3.2.1 is the first incremental patch on the PTS for Clockwork City, and fixes a number of issues with this new zone's quests, audio, housing and furnishings, and the new Trial Asylum Sanctorium. We've also begun making adjustments to the sourcing of Transmute Crystals, and have made additional improvements to the supplied character template.

We fixed a handful of bugs involving player abilities and item sets; balance changes aren't in this patch as we're still in the process of collecting and considering feedback. Please make sure you log into the PTS and try any gameplay-related changes before submitting feedback! This is essential for proper testing so you can test the changes in the appropriate context amongst all other changes.

The size of this latest patch is 319MB. Thanks to everyone for all the feedback and bug reports so far. We sincerely appreciate you putting in the time and effort!

Exploration & Itemization

Transmutation

Developer Comments: The goal of Transmutation is to provide you with a way to acquire your ideal traits in a way which is less dependent on RNG, without trivializing changing equipment traits or making it incredibly time consuming. The primary sources of Transmute Crystals are guaranteed drops from content you're likely already doing to collect your gear, such as Pledges, the group finder daily random Dungeon, Trial weekly quests, Veteran arena completions, and end of campaign PvP rewards.

We made a number of changes in this patch to make the sourcing more inclusive for a wider level range of players. First, we added Geode sourcing to the normal mode difficulty final Dungeon bosses, as well as Normal Trial weekly quest rewards. Further, the rate at which these will drop from Veteran bosses has been significantly increased. Dungeon and Trial final bosses will also now drop Unidentified Transmutation Geodes, which provides at least one Transmute Crystal with the possibility of multiples up to 10. Additionally, completing Veteran Dragonstar Arena now provides a Transmute Crystal. Due to all the Transmute Crystal sourcing improvements, we have increased the cost to Transmutate from 40 to 50 Crystals.

We are still working on the sourcing and acquisition rates of Transmute Crystals; the changes in this patch are only a start. We will continue to tune things over the next few PTS patches, so please continue to test and provide constructive feedback.

Increased the drop rates of Unidentified Transmutation Geodes.

• Unidentified Transmutation Geodes will now occasionally drop from the final bosses of all Normal and Veteran Dungeons, rather than the Transmute Crystals dropping directly.
  • Veteran mode bosses are significantly more likely to drop a Geode than in Normal mode dungeons.
  • You will now receive a Transmute Crystal for completing Dragonstar Arena on Veteran mode, just as you would for completing Maelstrom Arena.
• Transmute Crystals will now also be granted from the weekly Trial quests, your first-in-a-day Random Dungeon, or subsequent random Dungeons, regardless of whether you do those activities on Veteran mode or Normal mode. Previously, they were available only from Veteran mode.
• Increased the cost of Transmutation from 40 to 50 Crystals.
• Fixed an issue where some AvA Leaderboard mails were granting multiple Transmutation Geodes.
• Fixed an issue where Cyrodiil Leaderboards were not granting the proper amount of Transmute Crystals.
  • 30-Day campaign Leaderboards now grant 40 Transmute Crystals each, and 7-Day campaign Leaderboards now grant 4 Transmute Crystals each.
• Transmutation Geodes will no longer stack, which was causing an issue where using multiple Transmutation Geodes in quick succession would cause you not to get any Transmute Crystals.
• Fixed an issue where Transmute Crystals would not appear properly in the Loot window when added to your account.
  • Note: This was a display-only issue; the Crystals were still properly added to your account.
• Added a tooltip to the Transmute Crystal currency icon shown on the Transmute Station.

Quests & Zones

Greenshade

• Marbruk: Eralgor no longer walks up onto walls in his sweeping fervor. Tone it down, man. You're at an 11. We need you at a 6.
