Excitement is in the air as The Elder Scrolls Online’s Update 40 goes live today for PC and Mac players. This massive update brings a plethora of new content, including the highly anticipated Endless Archive dungeon, a new group finder system, Grand Master crafting stations, and much more.
Now let’s delve into the fascinating world of the Endless Archive and explore the other exciting features that Update 40 has to offer.
The Endless Archive Dungeon
The crown jewel of Update 40 is undoubtedly the Endless Archive dungeon. Located within Apocrypha’s great library, this dungeon is a labyrinthine maze of twisting pathways and ancient tomes come to life. As a player, you’ll embark on a journey to combat a diverse assortment of foes from across Tamriel. What sets the Endless Archive apart is its dynamic difficulty – enemies become increasingly challenging as you progress, providing a true test of your skills.
To aid you in this perilous quest, you’ll receive Mora’s Boons in the form of Verses and Visions. Verses offer temporary, stage-specific enhancements, while Visions provide long-lasting benefits and are acquired after defeating a boss. Strategic use of these boons is crucial for success in the Endless Archive.
This exciting new dungeon can be tackled in three ways: solo, with a companion, or alongside a friend. Two leaderboards have been introduced to encourage competitive play – one for solo adventurers and one for duos. Rewards will be granted to those who dare to venture the furthest into this enigmatic realm.
Class Item Sets
Update 40 also brings seven brand new Class Item Sets, each focusing on a specific skill line from ESO’s seven classes. These sets cater to different playstyles and offer unique bonuses, making them valuable additions to your character’s arsenal. With items available in light, medium, and heavy weights, these sets can be customized to suit your preferences. Whether you’re a Dragonknight, Templar, Sorcerer, Nightblade, Warden, Necromancer, or Arcanist, there’s a Class Item Set waiting for you.
The New Group Finder
TheElder Scrolls Online’s group finder system receives a much-needed revamp with Update 40. While it’s not a queue system, it streamlines the process of finding like-minded players for various activities. Whether you’re interested in dungeons, PvP, trials, or the Endless Archive, you can now search for groups within your preferred category. Group leaders can set specific criteria for joining and decide whether join requests require manual approval. This new system promotes collaboration and makes assembling a group more accessible than ever.
Grand Master Crafting Stations
Crafting enthusiasts will rejoice at the introduction of Grand Master crafting stations. These stations simplify the crafting process by consolidating item set stations into just four stations, improving efficiency and saving precious space. As the game releases new item sets, they will seamlessly integrate into this streamlined system. The new crafting stations offer a sleek and practical solution for avid crafters.
Additional Updates
Update 40 introduces numerous other features and quality-of-life improvements. These include new achievements and titles, collectibles, Antiquities, furnishings, and a Jewelry Crafting rebalance. Quest rewards have also been standardized based on categories, making progression more consistent and rewarding.
Conclusion
The Elder Scrolls Online’s Update 40 is a significant milestone for players, offering a treasure trove of new content, gameplay enhancements, and quality-of-life improvements. The Endless Archive dungeon is a standout feature, promising challenging adventures and valuable rewards for intrepid explorers. With the revamped group finder, Grand Master crafting stations, and the allure of Class Item Sets, there’s something for every ESO enthusiast to enjoy in this update. Don’t miss out on this exciting journey through the ever-expanding world of Tamriel. Update 40 will be available on consoles starting November 14th, so be prepared for epic adventures ahead!
