The Elder Scrolls Online News

Tune in to Twitch.tv/Bethesda as we delve into the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion and create new Arcanist characters!

Join us on Twitch.tv/Bethesda for ESO Live this Friday, July 21 at 2PM EDT, as Senior Community Managers Gina Bruno and Amy Schlueter participate in the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion by leveling up a brand-new character. Even better, you (the community members watching the show) get to help! As the team crafts their new Arcanist, the audience will help choose the new character’s name, race, appearance, abilities, and gear. Together with the ESO community, we’re certain that we can come up with a character worthy of Hermaeus Mora’s myriad blessings.

After the Arcanist is created, the team will then venture into Tamriel to begin leveling them up. Don’t forget, the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion grants all players with a level 10 or higher Arcanist a free Crown Store reward bundle, so all are welcome to log in to the PC/NA realm and level up during the show! This offer is available across all servers and platforms and concludes July 28 at 10AM EDT.

Twitch Drops will be enabled for those watching (link your ESO and Twitch accounts here). Viewers can receive a Gold Coast Experience Scroll (50% EXP boost for one hour) to help you reach level 10 during the promotion, as well as an Ouroboros crate. We’re delving deep into the mysteries of Apocrypha, so be sure to join us on Twitch.tv/Bethesda this Friday, July 21 at 2PM EDT. See you there!

ESO Live is your official Elder Scrolls Online stream, hosted on Twitch.tv/Bethesda by ESO’s Community Team.

The latest freebies have arrived on the Epic Games Store, one of which is a rather fine MMO, and the other has you investigating a range of murders.

Obviously, because it was mentioned in the headline, the MMO is The Elder Scrolls Online. Normally a $20 title, you can grab the massive game this week for nothing out of pocket.

It is worth the download, in our opinion, as we find it a lovely and rather fun game. If you are looking for an MMO with plenty of people to play with, you're in luck because there are tons of folks around.

Unleash the power of Necrom’s new class and reach level 10 during the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion to unlock a slew of magical rewards!

Introduced with The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom, the Arcanist class allows Tamriel’s adventurers to wield the eldritch energies of Hermaeus Mora’s realm. To celebrate this all-new way to play and encourage the ESO community to create their very own Arcanist character, we have created a unique bundle as a free in-game reward for those delving into the new class.

The Ascent of the Arcanist promotion is now live until Friday, July 28 at 10AM EDT. During this limited-time celebration, you can claim the free Ascent of the Arcanist bundle from the in-game Crown Store by having a level 10 or higher Arcanist character (thus unlocking the prerequisite achievement, titled “Neophyte Researcher”). If you’ve already reached level 10 and unlocked the achievement, don’t worry, you can immediately claim the rewards!

The Ascent of the Arcanist bundle includes the following mystical items:

• Scrawl of the Arcanist Visage face markings
• Scrawl of the Arcanist Tattoos body markings
• Devoted Torchbug pet
• 3× Grand Gold Coast Experience Scrolls (150% EXP for one hour)
• 1× Skill Respecification Scroll

Reward bundle items

Of course, if you wish to create an Arcanist character and claim this bundle, you need to own the Necrom Chapter. Visit our Buy Now page to find the right edition for you.

In addition, Twitch Drops will be enabled for all ESO Streamers. Viewers who watch for an hour will receive a Gold Coast Experience Scroll to help them reach level 10 during the promotion, as well as an Ouroboros Crown Crate for those who tune in for an additional hour.

If you haven’t yet created an Arcanist or reached level 10, there’s still plenty of time. Additionally, throughout the Ascent of the Arcanist promotion, we’ll share tips on leveling a new character via our official channels, host special official livestreams, and more. Don’t miss a beat by visiting Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook—good luck and have fun exploring the mysteries of the Arcanist class!
