Morrowind, the first Elder Scrolls Online expansion, offers a vast number of new armor and weapon sets. They are categorized in four groups: Overland, Crafted, Battleground and Trial. Each one of them has unique looks, and a light, medium and heavy version that favor magicka, stamina or health regeneration. In this guide, we’re going to show you a list of ESO Morrowind armor sets & weapons, what they look like and their stats.
Note 1: The screenshots and stats shown below were taken from PTS v3.0.4. It is highly likely that some of them will change at launch. We’ve even seen changes in the look of some sets just between two PTS patches.
Note 2: The numbers shown below are for Champion Level 160. Numbers vary due to many factors, so take them with a grain of salt. Go to the end of the guide to see all the set traits and enchantments.
