Elder Scrolls Online Items

With Christmas and the new year, many games are busy launching new seasonal events to provide you with a brand new gaming experience and keep it fresh. Elder Scrolls Online is no exception.

In fact, some time ago, ESO not only launched the winter fun event New Life Festival on December 19, but also announced that different seasons will be announced in the game starting in 2025. The combination of these two will surely enable you to consume the last part of 2024 happily and fully in excitement and anticipation.

Based on this, we will introduce these two new contents to you.

How To Participate In New Life Festival?

As one of the winter events, ESO’s New Life Festival will last until January 7 next year. During this period, you can not only enjoy the festive atmosphere in the event but also get ESO Gold, automatic +100% XP gain and more rewards by completing event tasks.

It is worth noting that if you want to make full use of this event, please complete the introductory tasks that have not been completed immediately. Or if you already have Breda’s Bottomless Mead Mug stored away, grab them from your inventory.

Besides automatically increasing your XP by 100%, New Life Festival also provides you with 10 daily quests to spread holiday cheer across Tamriel. Just complete one daily quest and you’ll receive a New Life Festival box.

Specific Rewards Offered By New Life Festival

When you receive the festival box, you’ll find items including various alchemical crafting materials, New Life Festival toys, Wolfsbane incense, a selection of recipes, New Life Festival furniture, charity works, and Skin-changer theme pages.

Among the new items is the runebox that can open Surprising Snowglobe memento and a bolt of Winter Storm Cloth. You can get it once a day during the event. And if you already get a runebox that day, you have the chance to get a replacement item.

In fact, your chances of getting a runebox increase as you have more Winter Storm bolts and New Life Winter Storm Robes - New Life Winter Storm Robe can be crafted with 15 cloth rolls.

In addition, with the return of Impresario, you can also get many new and returning items, including all the components of this year’s transformation collection. And if you don’t have enough parts to make the required items, you can exchange them for tickets.

It is worth noting that this event announcement details the items you can collect during the event. If you missed the event goods in previous years, you will also have a chance to get them again at New Life Festival. For this reason, we recommend that you can maximize all your opportunities by winning some tickets by participating in the celebration event.

New Year, New Season

It is reported that Elder Scrolls Online will officially switch the entire game mechanism to a seasonal mode in 2025, and will provide you with more improvements and new content through more frequent updates. In addition, the game team also stated that it will effectively improve PVP mode, the experience of new and returning players, and will introduce new plots to existing areas.

How Will The New Season Be Presented?

According to the information currently revealed by the game developers, ESO is expected to launch new seasons of three to six months in 2025, instead of annual chapter updates as before. And the new season will bring you new themed story content, activities, store items, dungeons, etc.

However, this also means that 2025 is a transitional period for Elder Scrolls Online, because the game team will still release new content based on existing areas, as well as larger projects that are already in preparation - in fact, they have already completed these contents and completely switched to seasonal development.

And the aspects of the new season plot in the latest announcement may make you feel a little “return to the roots”. Because the plot begins to refocus on classic game groups such as Thieves Guild, Mages Guild, Dark Brotherhood, and Fighters Guild.

In addition, the plot will not only launch new stories in familiar areas but also bring back familiar characters, or expand some continued stories. You will even can experience new areas, although it may take multiple updates.

What is more worth looking forward to is that ESO may also improve your combat feel while increasing the difficulty of world battles by updating animations and skill effects.

This year, Elder Scrolls Online not only launched a celebration from April to celebrate its 10th anniversary, but also decided to launch the above new game content to make a good start for the next decade, which is enough to show the sincerity of the development team.

In order to cooperate with these changes in ESO, IGGM Discord will also provide you with some game giveaway information in the giveaway channel recently, so that you have the opportunity to get free game props and enhance the game experience! So hurry up and enter!

Since its official launch, Elder Scrolls Online may not always be the hottest MMORPG, but it has its own advantages, which have enabled it to keep moving forward steadily and still occupy a place in the game market after ten years.

In April 2024, ESO held a 10th anniversary event in Amsterdam. If you pay attention to this game, you will find that it has been changing and adjusting to keep up with the times since its launch in 2014. Since 2017, Elder Scrolls Online has released amazing content and systems every year.

As 2024 is coming to an end, the game developers said that starting from 2025, you will not only continue to see the launch of new ideas and releases but also can witness the upgrade efforts made by ESO to keep it relevant, outstanding and attractive.

Based on this, we will introduce you to the major changes that Elder Scrolls Online will make in 2025 from several main aspects.

Introducing Seasons

From Morrowind in 2017 to Gold Road six months ago, zone design and quest content have been at the heart of virtually every Elder Scrolls game to date, including ESO.

But in 2025, while a lot of story content will still be produced, Elder Scrolls Online will move more towards a seasonal content model, rather than releasing large-scale content updates once a year like episodes.

It is expected that you can experience named seasons for three to six months in the game next year, which will include various new themed story content, new activities, new dungeon quests, etc. It is worth noting that they will bring you various new combat opportunities to increase your ways to earn ESO Gold.

New Changes And Tests

As you know, any game needs to add new and different types of content constantly and address long-standing player feedback issues. Based on this, Elder Scrolls Online developers said they have begun working on some tests that will be launched in 2025.

So you may see some of this content on live servers in 2025 and beyond. It’s worth noting, though, that some of this will be tests, and some will be improvements based on your feedback and that of other players:

• Increase the difficulty of standard world battles.
• Improve your combat experience by improving animations, FX, and potentially audio work.
• Try more areas, such as Craglorn. And create specifically for high-end group and soft group content, with relevant equipment chases.
• Add and improve tools to make guild recruitment, interaction, and management easier and more logical.

In addition, the game will also address the performance issues of Cyrodiil. By trying Cyrodiil campaign, all classes will have PVP-specific skills, and these skills will replace standard player skills, in order to better support you in each campaign. Of course, if you have any good related opinions, you can also give feedback to the game official through various channels.

Pay More Attention To New And Returning Users

Previously, some players have reported that the current ESO game scale is too large and lacks enough detailed guidance, so that the new user experience is not good. In addition, there are also some players who do not log in to the game frequently for various reasons, so they may also feel overwhelmed when returning to the game.

With that in mind, we anticipate that in 2025 Elder Scrolls Online will make some improvements to give these players the basic guidance they need to enjoy the game before opening up all the possibilities. For example, making sure the game’s map and other quest UI areas reveal you where you left off and where you’ll find the content you’re after.

Here are some things game plans to improve the experience for both new and returning players - some of which will be available in 2025, and some of which may be more later:

• A new PC-only patch to improve visuals and performance.
• Regularly tweaking the original Wailing Prison tutorial area for all new players to improve the experience.
• Visual improvements to base game areas with updated textures and art, starting with the starter islands (likely to start rolling out in March 2025)
• Beautify the game’s PC UI.
• Improvements to other map and UI systems to make returning to the game a smoother process.

More Exciting Storylines

Although the content release model will change, Elder Scrolls Online will continue to add new quest content. Since the focus of the game is no longer on adding huge new continents, it is expected that the game will use existing areas and regions to tell new stories, such as:

• Based on continuing to expand the stories in existing areas and storylines, let those familiar characters return.
• Make the new story content more focused on iconic ESO organizations, such as Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, Fighters Guild, and Mages Guild.
• Divide a large area into multiple for updating.

The development team is also working hard to find a new rhythm recently so that new content and systems can be combined with addressing feedback, solving problems, and adding new tasks and activities to existing areas and stories. Ensure that these new stories can be better integrated into your game experience based on updating the plot.

It is also worth mentioning that the next major announcement event of Elder Scrolls Online is expected to be held in April 2025, which will include a lot of content and the first season will be launched at the same time. But for this, you have to wait. Fortunately, you still have a chance to get more relevant information from the official at some point in the early new year.

After seeing this preview of the changes, you will definitely feel more confident and interested in the future of ESO. Then you may as well enter IGGM Discord and wait for the giveaway information to provide you with the opportunity to obtain game items, helping you to experience the game better in the future!
