Armor Dyes

    • Dye stations can be found in at least one town in every normal overworld zone. There are new map markers add for these dye station locations

You can right-click on it to jump to the achievement panel and read the achievement’s completion criteria. When a dye is unlocked, it will be available for all characters on your account.

ESO Patch Notes v1.1.2

The first major content update: the Adventure Zone Craglorn is live on ESO servers and brings a handful of changes as well as many other fixes and refinements. You’ll need allies to take on the new challenges—Craglorn’s quests and exploration are designed for groups of four Veteran Rank 10+ characters. (You can enter Craglorn and play the content earlier than Veteran Rank 10.)

The first Trials have been added in Craglorn, 12-player adventures meant to test even the strongest heroes. In Trials, your team will have a limited number of resurrections to use as you attempt to reach the final boss. If you finish the Trial quickly, you might earn a place on the leaderboards and receive extra rewards!

Another new feature is the Death Recap. This screen will help you understand what contributed to your death and hints that can help improve your performance next time.

Vampire Bat Swarm got nerfed and additional fixes to Cyrodiil PvP have been introduced. Loads of quests have been fixed as well and after a month you finally can progress in the last quest in Coldharbour without having to jump to your death naked several times.

Patch Notes v1.0.6

During today’s maintenance a new patch will be deployed. It seems to contain a lot of fixes (even more than previous patches) to various quests and progress blocking issues. I can also see some client bugs that caused freezes and crashes fixed. I wonder what “everyone must pay the COD fee to accept COD items” means exactly? Does that mean that the receiver of in-game mail with COD attached is the one paying from now on and is the “tax” shown in the UI before accepting the charge? I guess we’ll all see soon enough.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

Alliance War
General

  • Fixed an issue where new characters of different alliances could get automatically assigned to the same campaign.

Combat & Gameplay
General

  • Fixed an issue that caused some Nightblade abilities to become unresponsive when you were engaged in combat with a large number of enemies.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
