The Elder Scrolls Online offers in the new DLC Scalebreaker two new dungeons full of dragons. However, for many fans, that is not the highlight. Instead, they are looking forward to Update 23 and the upcoming comfort features.
What’s included in Scalebreaker? The 3rd DLC for ESO 2019 will continue the dragon story from Elsweyr. This time, it’s about the aftermath of the dragon liberation and the resulting problems.
But even more interesting for many fans is the free Update 23, which comes along with Scalebreaker . It includes the following features:
- You can craft multiple items simultaneously
- You can submit multiple bids for trading posts as a trade guild
- You can now use the Undaunted keys to directly obtain monster outfits
When will Scalebreaker and Update 23 be released? The two updates for ESO will be released simultaneously in August 2019. However, ZeniMax has not yet been able to provide us with a specific date.
What is the cost? Update 23 is free; it is available to all ESO players. Scalebreaker, on the other hand, must be purchased separately with crowns in the shop.
It is expected to cost again 1,500 crowns (approximately 13 euros). However, those who have an ESO Plus subscription can play it for free during the subscription validity and keep all the achievements and treasures obtained there.
Details of the contents of Scalebreaker
The dragon story is nice and pleasant for many fans, but the free features from Update 23 are the true highlight for many.
How crafting will change
How bad crafting has been so far: Because crafting was not only a hassle for your hero in the game. It was also a tedious and sweaty toil for the player, until a whole inventory full of stuff was processed or a huge number of items for the daily crafting quests were manufactured. A lot of time was spent that could have been better spent on quests, PvP, or dungeons.
Thanks to the planned new feature for multiple crafting, everything should become much faster soon.
All about the new guild trading
How guild trading will change: Soon, you will be able to bid with your guild for up to ten different locations for the guild trader per week. The location with the highest bid has priority.
If you are unable to secure this bid, the system will go through your other bids. This way, you should ensure that you and your guild will get a desired trading location more easily.
Information about the Undaunted
How rewards for the Undaunted will improve: The Undaunted are a faction that regularly sends you into dungeons. For this, you receive keys with which you can open chests full of cool loot.
However, until now you had to return to the Undaunted’s camp every time, and the loot was heavily dependent on chance.
That will soon change, because with Update 23 you can now also receive the chest immediately from the quest giver of the Undaunted, which will appear much more frequently in the game world. Thus, the trip to the camp is finally eliminated.
Even better is that you can use your collected keys for specific chests from certain dungeon combinations. They will preferentially contain loot from the specified dungeons.
If you want a specific monster shoulder set, you can get it directly for a large amount of keys and kick the RNG completely. However, monster helmets are still only available as dungeon loot.
What’s in the new dungeons
In addition to the popular changes from Update 23, the two new dungeons from the Scalebreaker DLC are also interesting:
- Moongrave Temple City: Here, vampires have slain a dragon. However, instead of killing the beast and honestly claiming its loot, they want to siphon the creature and become super dragon blood killer vampires. Nobody really wants that, so you should quickly go to the temple city, beat the bloodsuckers, and “save” the dragon.
- Hoard of Maarselok: Here, a lively dragon has established itself in the Tenmar jungle and is tainting the Elden root tree of the wood elves in the nearby Grahtwood from there. You must prevent this, so you need to go into the dragon’s hoard to stop him from poisoning the tree.
In the dungeons, there are again new item sets and collectibles, including even a new companion.
