Anniversary Spotlight—Dungeon Runners, Rise Up


Delve deep into special rewards, including free DLC dungeons, during September’s Anniversary Spotlight!

The latest 10-Year Anniversary Spotlight comes to you this September as it shines into the hidden corners of Tamriel’s dungeons. Get free dungeon DLC from Daily Login Rewards, unlock and claim a free costume and arms pack, and earn Undaunted Keys as you complete daily Endeavors!

[h2]DLC Dungeons Delivered Free[/h2]
Log in for just a few days during September 2024 to unlock free DLC dungeons. Your third login during the month unlocks the Fang Lair dungeon, while your fourth unlocks the Scalecaller Peak dungeon.

Unlock (and survive) Fang Lair

These exciting dungeons feature unique rewards including item sets, titles, motifs, and more. Challenge the Blackmarrow necromancers or the cult of Peryite to claim them—good luck!

Of course, the rewards included in the dungeon content itself aren’t the only things you can claim. The Anniversary Spotlight also includes additional unlockable rewards. Complete both dungeons to earn the “Fang Lair Vanquisher” and “Scalecaller Peak Vanquisher” achievements and you can acquire the Dungeon Explorer Costume for free by claiming it from the Crown Store between September 3 and September 24. You can also claim the costume if you have the achievements from prior completions of the dungeons.

Earn achievements to unlock free rewards

The Undaunted are of course eager to get in on any dungeon-delving action, so you can earn rewards by completing Undaunted Pledges as well. If you earn or already have the achievement “Returned Undaunted” for completing 10 Undaunted Pledges bestowed by Maj al-Ragath, you can claim the Thurvokun Arms Pack from the Crown Store completely free during the same period as the costume.

Of course, one of the things the Undaunted are most known for is their treasure, shared with the worthy who earn their Undaunted Keys. During the month of September, these rewards are easier to earn than ever, with certain thematic Endeavors available during the month awarding Undaunted Keys in addition to the normal seal amount for the day’s Endeavors.

Huge ESO update adds big new challenges to the MMO's roguelike mode

When people talk about the Elder Scrolls Online, it's always the world-building, the quests, and the exploration of areas of Tamriel that haven't been seen in games before that get bigged up. What's often missed off in the list of things it does really well is its player housing and its PvE roguelike mode titled the Infinite Archive. Well, these two features have received some big changes in the most recent ESO update, alongside tons of other new stuff that's hitting the MMO.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The Update 43 base-game patch is now live on PC/Mac. This update introduces new features, content, and improvements to The Elder Scrolls Online, completely free for all ESO players.
[h2]New Features[/h2]
Those who enjoy delving deep into the Infinite Archive or showing off their latest home builds will appreciate the two big new features included in Update 43.

Infinite Archive Update

Return to the twisting halls of the Infinite Archive (ESO’s near-endless PvE arena) and you’ll discover two new unique areas, new monsters, a host of new Visions and Verses, and new rewards. These rewards include new collectibles and seven all-new class sets, not found anywhere else in Tamriel!

Discover new challenges and rewards in the Archive

To learn more about the additions coming to the Infinite Archive, check out this preview blog.

Home Tours

Share and showcase your flair for interior design and decoration with Home Tours, a new feature added to ESO’s Housing System. With Home Tours, you can search for homes owned and decorated by another player and filter through labels, such as “Cozy” or “Festive.”

Share your homes with the rest of the community

You can also browse the top player homes in the Recommended tab, recommend those homes to others, and favorite them to return to later. List your own home and see what people think of your creation!

To learn more about Home Tours, check out this preview blog.
[h2]Additional Improvements[/h2]
Update 43 also introduces a host of quality-of-life improvements for all ESO players. This includes six new skill styles (for the Silver Bolts, Roar, Twin Slashes, Momentum, Elemental Storm, and Annulment skills) that can have their fragments dropped from base-game activities or acquired with Archival Fortunes from Infinite Archive.

In addition, item set curation expands to include monster sets acquired via Undaunted Keys (from the Undaunted vendors), weekly Trial coffers, Trial leaderboard coffers, and Imperial City monster mask coffers. Finally, this update also adds improvements to mount previews within the Crown Store, and both Guild Trader and Guild Bank interfaces now remember the last Guild you interacted with. 

For a full list of all the changes, new features, and improvements arriving as part of the Update 43 base-game patch, check out the patch notes on the official ESO forums.
[h2]Free for All[/h2]
As a base-game patch, Update 43 is free for all current ESO players—no additional purchases required! Are you excited to share and showcase your home to the rest of ESO’s housing community?
