In the fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, there are issues with the new patch 2.0.1 on PC. It leads to crashes. Additionally, EXP potions are now in the game.
As Zenimax reports, with today’s patch 2.0.11, increased crashes are occurring. They are working on resolving the issues. They are related to recipes in the players’ inventory.
Update: It seems they have managed to fix the issues; they require the download of a 160 MB patch.
This is how the new EXP potions work in The Elder Scrolls Online
For Playstation4 and XboxOne players: Both the purchasable and the craftable EXP booster potions are expected to be available on consoles next month.
Patch 2.0.11 heralds the era of “EXP potions”. They will soon be available in the game’s cash shop. However, with the patch, they also came as “craftable” potions: The Psijik Ambrosia must first be learned with difficulty. The recipe breaks down into seven parts. These need to be earned. Individual recipe parts can be obtained with a chance from completing provisioning “crafting writs”, the daily crafting quests.
To craft an Ambrosia, you will need frost mirriam, barberry juice, and perfect roe. The first two ingredients are already in the game. Perfect roe can basically be obtained. The fish eggs may appear with a low probability when gutting fish.
The finished potion then grants a 50% increase in every experience gain. It also scales with corresponding bonuses from alchemists or connoisseurs.
The 50% experience gain also counts towards Champion Points and adds up to other EXP bonuses in the game, such as the Rings of Mara. They speed everything up, except leveling up with guild skill lines or crafting professions. These craftable potions, the Ambrosia, will also be tradable among players. Tony was probably right about fishing after all…
So it can indeed be used for Champion Points
In addition to these “craftable” EXP potions, there will also be “purchasable” ones available in the shop. These will be scrolls: 5 will cost 1000 crowns. A scroll lasts 2 hours. They cannot be used “on top of” each other or together with the Ambrosia. Instead, they are used just like dumplings are eaten: one after the other.
Prior to this, there had already been discussions about EXP potions, whether they should affect “veteran characters” or not.
It seems that Zenimax ultimately decided on the version: You can use them to earn Champion Points. The alternative would have been potions that only last during leveling phase up to 50. During this phase, heroes do not earn “Champion Points”.
These points serve high-level players as a way to further customize their characters.
