Explore the Necrom Chapter & Unlock Bonus Rewards during the Secrets of the Telvanni In-Game Event


Team up with your fellow players within the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha to unlock unique rewards for all Necrom owners.
[h2]Explore the Unknown[/h2]
The Secrets of the Telvanni in-game event kicks off this Thursday, September 28 at 10AM EDT, and runs until Tuesday, October 10 at 10AM EDT. During the celebration event, you can earn bonus rewards and collectibles as you complete daily quests and adventure within the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha zones.

Work together with your fellow players to complete the new event-unique daily quest, titled “Turn the Page” to progress the community meter found on the Secrets of the Telvanni event page. By the event’s end, all Necrom Chapter owners can claim all unlocked rewards.

Complete a new daily quest

Every day, we’ll update the meter on the event page with the #ESOFam’s progress. The more of you who complete the quest each day, the quicker the meter will fill and unlock the rewards.

You can see the percentage goal for each of the three rewards below:
  • 33% Ebony Dwarven Scarab pet
  • 66% Nightmare Nest body and face markings
  • 100% Kelesan’ruhn house

Unlock these unique rewards (and more)

To get started, acquire the quest titled “The Telvanni Secret” free from the Crown Store or find Master Faras outside the city of Necrom. Don’t forget, this event and its rewards are available only for those who own the Necrom Chapter.

In addition, when turning in the unique event daily quest, you must choose between Tralise and Yensa for one additional end-of-event reward:
  • Oath of the Keepers music box (from Tralise)
  • Apocryphal Tome furnishing (from Yensa)

Throughout the event, you can vote for which reward you’d like to unlock by choosing to either favor Tralise (to unlock the music box) or Yensa (to unlock the furnishing) when turning in the “Turn the Page” daily quest.

Only one of these two bonus rewards can be unlocked!

The sister with the most favor by the event’s end will determine which bonus reward is unlocked. You can check which of the two sisters is currently favored during the event on the official page.
[h2](Re)Discover Necrom[/h2]
During the event period, as you adventure within the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha, you receive event reward boxes, called Secret Telvanni Coffers, each time you complete a daily quest. In addition, you have a chance to receive a coffer when you complete the following activities in either of the two zones:
  • Defeat a Delve or World Boss
  • Defeat a Bastion Nymic Herald or Boss
  • Defeat any monster
  • Opening treasure chests, safeboxes, Psijic Portals, etc.
  • Harvesting resource nodes
  • Pickpocketing
  • …and more!

When you open a Secret Telvanni Coffer, you have a chance to receive the following items:
  • Random crafting materials
  • Valuables (that can be sold to vendors) or style items
  • Zone set items or Companion gear (only while either Azandar or Sharp are active)
  • Necrom furnishings, furnishing recipes, Treasure Maps, Survey Reports, or a motif page (Dead Keeper, Clan Dreamcarver, or Kindred’s Concord)
  • A small chance for a tradeable style page of the NEW Apocrypha Expedition armor style

Take note, the first time you complete a Telvanni Peninsula or Apocrypha daily quest, you receive a Sublime Secret Telvanni Coffer instead of a standard one. Sublime coffers can contain the same items as regular ones, but also have a much greater chance of containing the rarer rewards (such as pages for the Apocrypha Expedition armor style).

Update 40 base-game patch, including the Endless Archive, arrives on October 30 for PC/Mac and November 14 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Discover Infinite Adventure in the Endless Archive  


Delve into an all-new PvE activity with the Endless Archive, arriving soon with the free Update 40 base-game patch. 
[h2]Endless Exploration[/h2]
Prepare yourself for an all-new PvE challenge in the Endless Archive, a unique unending dungeon-like activity. Whether you go it solo or team up with a fellow player or Companion, your success in the Endless Archive is limited only by your preparation, skills, and determination.

Of all the infinite libraries of Hermaeus Mora’s realm, the archive is one of Apocrypha’s most mysterious secrets. However, a malevolent Daedra now threatens to corrupt everything collected within its myriad halls, and Master Malkhest, its custodian, needs your help confronting this strange new foe.

The Endless Archive arrives with the Update 40 base-game patch on October 30 for PC/Mac and November 14 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles. As a base-game addition, this new PvE activity is completely free for all existing ESO players with no additional DLC or Chapter purchase required. You can enter the Endless Archive via your map (from anywhere in the game) or the physical entrance found in Apocrypha (if you own the Necrom Chapter). Take note, while exploring the archive, ESO Plus members will enjoy a +10% boost to Archival Fortunes gains, a unique currency we share more on below!
[h2]Eternal Challenge[/h2]
In the Endless Archive, you must battle your way through dynamic stages and untold dangers, including monsters and boss encounters drawn from all over Nirn. No two expeditions into the Archive will ever be the same, as each Stage and encounter is randomly generated. Complete four Cycles (each comprised of three Stages and a boss battle) and your fifth boss battle with be against a monster unique to the Endless Archive—thus completing an Arc!

Of course, after you defeat the corruption at the archive’s heart, your expedition doesn’t end there, as you can traverse ever deeper into more Stages, Cycles, and Arcs, with the difficulty gradually increasing as you do! How deep you delve into the Endless Archive is ultimately up to you.   

Survive endless foes

While you have a limited number of deaths (or team wipes) permitted before your run ends, helping you get as far as possible are two unique boons you can collect as you progress: Verses and Visions. Verses are temporary buffs you can select at the end of each Stage that last until the end of the next Stage. Visions, on the other hand, are available at the end of each Cycle and provide a boon that lasts for your entire run. For example, Flame Aura is a Verse that envelops you in fire, damaging nearby enemies, while Crystalline Support is a Vision which explodes for frost damage and snares foes. The Visions and Verses you select as you progress can go a long way to determining how far you can go—choose wisely!
[h2]Infinite Rewards[/h2]
As you battle your way deeper into the Endless Archive and climb the leaderboards, you can loot and unlock a host of unique rewards not found in any other activity in game. This includes a broad selection of collectibles, including a mount, pet, cosmetics, and all-new Class sets.

A new and unique type of item set, Class sets buff the abilities for the game’s seven unique classes, providing synergy with specific Skill Lines. You can collect these powerful new items via loot drops or the Archive’s unique vendor.

Collect powerful Class sets

In addition to the above items and collectibles, the Endless Archive also rewards you with a unique currency, called Archival Fortunes. Fortunes can be traded to vendors in the Archive’s starting area for a host of consumables, Class set items, style pages, and most notably, unique buffs for your excursions.

These purchasable buffs are permanently active for your future Endless Archive runs. For example, some buffs grant additional Vision or Verse choices while others simply increase their power. The more Archival Fortunes you collect, the more you can empower further expeditions into the Archive’s ever-changing halls.
[h2]Unlimited Dangers [/h2]
In the Endless Archive, you can discover a new dynamically generated PvE challenge where no two runs are ever the same. Clear Stages, Cycles, and Arcs, and contend with an ever-growing host of dangers as you climb the leaderboards and unlock unique rewards. Are you ready to delve into this all-new activity? Don’t forget, as part of Update 40, it’s free for ALL existing ESO players. Let us know if you’re ready to begin your expedition into the Endless Archive via TwitterInstagram, or Facebook, and good luck!

The Endless Archive is a new PvE activity free for all ESO players that arrives with the Update 40 base-game patch on October 30 for PC/Mac and November 14 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Update 40 Brings All-New Improvements to Tamriel’s Adventurers


Learn about some of the key additions and changes arriving with the free Update 40 base-game patch.

The Update 40 base-game patch arrives October 30 on PC/Mac and November 14 on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. In addition to the Endless Archive PvE activity, this update also introduces a host of new features and additions completely free for all existing ESO players, no additional purchases required.
[h2]New Grouping Tool[/h2]
If you enjoy teaming up with your fellow adventures, the new Group Finder allows you to create parties for almost any group activity in ESO. This includes dungeons, arenas, the upcoming Endless Archive, trials, PvP, and more.

You can choose to make a listing to find players to fill out your existing group (even when starting solo), or you can search for a group that already exists and wants to do the same content that you do. This new tool also allows you to tune the criteria your group members must meet, including these examples:
  • Player CP levels
  • Whether they use in-game voice chat
  • Their playstyle
  • A desired group role composition

The Group Finder tool

With the new Group Finder, teaming up with your fellow adventurers should be as easy as ever!
[h2]Grand Master Crafting Stations[/h2]
Update 40 also introduces Grand Master Crafting Stations, allowing you to consolidate all your home’s attuned crafting stations for a crafting skill line into a single furnishing. If your base of operations is packed full of attuned crafting stations supporting many of ESO’s myriad item sets, these new consolidated stations will go a long way to improving the amount of housing slots spent without giving up any of the functionality you enjoyed previously.

You can acquire Grand Master Crafting Stations using Writ Vouchers from the Achievement Mediator, Faustina Curio. There will be a consolidated station for Blacksmithing, Jewelry Crafting, Clothing, and Woodworking—happy crafting!
[h2]Assorted Additional Improvements [/h2]
Jewelry Crafting Rebalance

Also included in Update 40 is a rebalance of Jewelry Crafting to help bring its costs more in line with the game’s other crafting disciplines. This includes completely removing Jewelry Crafting grains and converting them into platings! However, to ensure that Jewelry Crafting’s costs line up with the other crafting types, we’ve also increased the total boosters needed to upgrade your jewelry, too. But don't worry, upgrading your rings and amulets in Update 40 will be easier and cheaper when compared to how it is currently.

Quest XP & Gold Standardization

With Update 40, we conducted a broad audit and standardization of the Experience Point and Gold rewards for many of the game’s quests. This includes those for quests and questlines associated with zones, main storylines, prologues, dailies, guild storylines, and many more. Now, you should receive more consistent rewards for the game’s various quests based on their complexity or length. In addition, the daily quest rewards for Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, and Undaunted have received a general boost.

These are just some of the many changes and additions coming to ESO with the Update 40 base-game patch. You can experience them (and the Endless Archive) for yourself when the update arrives on the PC/Mac Public Test Server in a few days  (Monday, September 18) or when it all arrives on October 30 for PC/Mac and November 14 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
