Update 42[edit]

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v10.0.5 and our latest Chapter: Gold Road! Investigate the return of Ithelia, a Daedric Prince never seen before in the Elder Scrolls series. Uncover the schemes of her most devoted followers and protect Tamriel from the chaos of unbridled change.

Venture into West Weald, home to the wealthy Colovian Imperials and the city of Skingrad. Encounter a bountiful region first seen in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, now beset by Daedric incursions and the encroaching jungles of Valenwood. Or you can play with the nature of magic itself with Scribing, an all-new game system unique to Gold Road. Collect and customize skills to tailor your builds, granting you the power and freedom to truly play your way.

There’s a variety of new things to collect including new item sets, Mythic items, mounts, pets, even 22 new Skill Styles which are new color variations of popular existing skills. And you won’t want to miss the new 12-player Trial, Lucent Citadel, which has some surprises along the way.

The base game adds improvements for NPC and remote player character resolutions, several updates to game mail, and added a new state to health bars for healing immunity. We’ve also joined the Xbox initiative to make steps toward a more sustainable gaming future by introducing some environmental sustainability features.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gold Road, which is approximately 5.6GB in size. Thanks and enjoy!

New Features / Updates / Big Changes[edit]

New Zone – West Weald Prepare for adventure as you enter West Weald, a rich, Colovian Imperial territory ruled by Count Calantius of Skingrad. Located just west of Cyrodiil and east of the Gold Coast, West Weald remains a stronghold of Imperial prosperity. Vineyards, lumber camps, and strong trade routes contribute to the wealth of the region as the Imperial Legions protect its borders. But life is suddenly less quiet under the autumn eaves shading the Gold Road, and nothing will ever be the same… To begin your adventures in West Weald, you can choose from among the following: Create a new character and play through the Tutorial Use the Wayshrine located in Skingrad Travel to your alliance capital and take the caravan to West Weald After you arrive in West Weald, an old friend, Leramil, greets you with news of the Forgotten Daedric Prince you discovered at the end of Necrom. She needs your help to investigate unusual activity in West Weald and discover its ties to Ithelia as part of the Zone Story. In addition to the Zone Story, the Gold Road chapter includes the following activities: Nine full-length Objectives, some tied directly to the Zone Story but completable in any order Six delves, each with its own Skyshard and delve boss Two Public Dungeons: Silorn, an ancient Ayleid Ruin and Leftwheal, a coastal trading post under attack by Mirrormoor forces New world events – Mirrormoor Incursions Six world bosses throughout West Weald The Lucent Citadel 12-player trial Three new set crafting locations Many additional quests and discoverable activities A special “capper” quest, available to those who have completed both Necrom and West Weald storylines

Mirrormoor Incursions As the followers of the Forgotten Prince search desperately for her, her forces in Mirrormoor do not lie dormant. They have found a means to enter Tamriel in the hopes of reuniting with Ithelia. These Incursions from Mirrormoor dot the landscape of West Weald spreading Ithelia’s minions as they pour forth from her realm. You can seek out the generals and leaders of the Mirrormoor forces before ultimately defeating the stalwart champions bursting from the lands beyond. Seek out Mirrormoor Incursion sites within West Weald and first defeat the leaders powering the Incursions before fighting the powerful champions. Mirrormoor Incursions will appear with an icon on your map when they are active. Earn special rewards and achievements for defeating the Incursion leaders and champions both and keep West Weald safe from the emerging forces.

Scribing We're very excited to introduce you to Scribing, a new system focused around combat that gives you the ability to customize 11 new skills to suit your playstyle. Go on an exciting adventure with the Mages Guild and learn how to scribe your own customizable skills. As you explore the Scholarium beneath Eyevea and plumb the secrets of the past you'll earn new skills, new Scripts, Skill Styles, and a wide variety of Scribing benefits thanks to some very powerful friends. To get started, seek out Adept Irnard Rirnil near the Mages Guild in Skingrad if you have access to the Champion System or if you have reached level 30 on your character. To Scribe a new Skill, you must visit the Scribing Altar in the Scholarium, under Eyevea, and complete the tutorial quest “The Second Era of Scribing”. First you will select a Grimoire. Grimoires contain the base behavior of the Skill. For example, Wield Soul's Grimoire launches a concentrated blast of Soul Magic at a single target. Then, select a Focus Script. These add the main function of the Skill. They also determine the Skill's name, Resource Type, and Resource Cost For example, if you select the Magical Focus Script for the Wield Soul Grimoire, it makes a concentrated blast of Soul Magic deal Magical Damage to the enemy. It will also change the name of the completed Scribed Skill to Magical Soul. Next, select a Signature Script. These add unique effects to the skill. For example, if you select the Damage Over Time Signature Script, Magical Soul will now also deal 9000 Magic Damage over 10 seconds to the enemy. Finally, select an Affix Script. These add a final benefit to the skill, usually from the Major and Minor Buff and Debuff system. For example, if you select the Breach Affix Script, it will add Major Breach to Magical Soul, now afflicting the enemy for 10 seconds reducing their Physical and Spell Resistance. In general, single target Grimoires have access to Major buffs and debuffs, and Area of Effect Grimoires have access to Minor buffs and debuffs, since those have the potential of applying to more targets. Scribe your new Skill by paying Luminous Ink. After completing the quest "The Wing of the Indrik", Luminous Ink will rarely drop from defeated enemies, and after completing the quest "The Wing of the Netch" Luminous Ink will rarely drop from harvesting crafting materials. Place your new Scribed Skill on your Ability Bar from the Skills Menu. If you have a blank spot on your Skill Bar, it will populate there when completing the Scribe. If you do not, you can find it in the Skills Menu under its parent Skill Line. For example, Vault will live underneath the Bow Skill Line. There is also a Scribing Tab inside the Skills Menu, which allows you to understand what Grimoires and Scripts you own, have scribed, as well as what combinations are possible when you are away from the Scribing Altar in the Scholarium. Full access to the Scribing Altar comes after you have completed the Wing of the Indrik quest. For your ease, there is a training room in the West Wing of the Scholarium where you can test your new Scribed Skills against Training Dummies. There are also beautiful achievement furnishings available in the East Wing from Firandil's Scamp and sales associate, Caal. After completing the Scribing questline, when using alt characters, you will only have to complete the Second Era of Scribing to take full advantage of the Scribing System. This includes purchases of Grimoires and Scripts being greatly discounted after you have acquired them from a vendor on another character.

Grimoires There are 11 New Grimoires (customizable skills) that you can unlock on a per character basis. Weapon Skill Line These require at least rank 25 in that skill line and the requisite weapon to use. Vault (Bow) Shield Throw (One Hand & Shield) Smash (Two Hand) Elemental Explosion (Destruction Staff) Mender's Bond (Restoration Staff) Traveling Knife (Dual Wield) Soul Magic Skill line Wield Soul Earn during the Scribing Tutorial. Soul Burst Earn by completing the Scribing questline. Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, and Assault Skill Lines These require at least rank 5 in the parent Skill Line to use. Ulfsild's Contingency (Mages Guild) Torchbearer (Fighters Guild) Trample (Assault) To acquire Grimoires, visit Chronicler Firandil in the East Wing of the Scholarium after completing the quest “Wing of the Indrik” and purchase with gold after meeting the above requirements. Grimoires are customized by adding one of each script type, then paying the cost in Luminous Ink.

Scripts Every Grimoire has three Script Slots: one each for a Focus Script, Signature Script, and Affix Script. Scripts are how you customize your Grimoires and turn them into Scribed Skills, and are unlocked on a per character basis. Focus Scripts set the Main function of the Scribed Skill, and also determine its name and resource type and cost. Focus Scripts also determine if the ability is Enemy-Targeted or Ally/Self-Targeted and if any following buffs will only apply to you or also apply to your allies. Signature Scripts give the skill unique effects. These unique effects often lean into the mechanics and passives from the parent Skill Line. For example, the Passive Master Signature Script when used on Vault will give you the Hawkeye passive from the Bow Weapon Skill Line. Affix Scripts give the skill a final benefit of known buff and debuffs, largely from the Major and Minor system. Not every combination of scripts can be Scribed to every Grimoire. Scripts that share the same name may do slightly different things depending on the Grimoire they are applied to, but the same theme will apply. Mix and match and discover what works for you! You can acquire Scripts by having them rarely drop in the world; However, you can unlock new sources by completing their associated Wing Quest. Focus Scripts become available from various daily coffers after completing the Wing of the Gryphon. Signature Scripts become available from various daily coffers after completing the Wing of the Dragon. Affix Scripts become available from various daily coffers after completing the Wing of the Netch. After completing these quests, these will unlock account-wide benefits, such as the ability to purchase them from the Scribing and Infinite Archive Vendors. Additionally, after completing the Wing of the Dragon, you will be able to find Scripts hidden at certain Mages Guilds across Tamriel. There is also a special kind of Signature Script, known as the Class Mastery Script. This script gives access to special mechanics and passives unique to your class. This script is applicable on all Grimoires. To acquire this script, you must collect 50 Class Script Scraps via a number of in-game activities such as Trials, Master Writs, Infinite Archive, Dungeons, Arenas, and more. After acquiring the Class Mastery Script on a single character, you can purchase it on other characters from Chronicler Firandil.

Luminous Ink Luminous Ink is Scribing's crafting resource. The ink cost to Scribe a Skill is based on the number of Scripts added or changed. When Scribing a Skill for the first time, it will always require three Scripts, and therefore cost three Luminous Ink. However, if you are changing out only a single script on a previously Scribed Skill, the Luminous Ink cost to scribe will only be 1. Ink Drops from enemies in the world at a low rate after you have completed the quest “Wing of the Indrik”. After completing the quest “Wing of the Netch”, you can also gain ink via harvest nodes.

Skill Styling ESO has countless ways for you to customize your character's appearance and skills, and with Gold Road, we're excited to introduce a new type of customization collectible called Skill Styles! Skill Styles are select new color variations on popular existing skills from the Weapon, Guild, and World Skill Lines, helping you further stand out on the battlefield. There are 22 earnable Skill Styles that you can earn via Scribing quests, completing dailies, discovering Skyshards, defeating Mirrormoor Incursions and more.
