In the background story of Elder Scrolls Online, Tel Var Stones are Esoteric fragments of White-Gold Tower found in the corrupted Imperial City. It is used as a currency, mainly used to exchange gear, crafting materials and other items in Imperial City.
So, how can you get Tel Var Stones in ESO, and how can you use them? This article may provide you with some reference.
How To Get Tel Var Stones?
Like Elder Scrolls Online Gold, Tel Var Stones can be deposited into your bank for you to use later. Tel Var Stones mainly come from Imperial City, and you can also get it by claiming daily rewards or killing other players. Here are the detailed ways to get Tel Var Stones.
Daily Login Rewards
You can log in to ESO every day to claim a certain number of Tel Var Stones. Of course, if you want to use Tel Var Stones to exchange for some good Elder Scrolls Online Items, it is obviously not enough to rely on daily login rewards. You also need to participate in battles.
Defeat Imperial City Bosses
In Imperial City, Tel Var Stones are mainly dropped from enemy monsters, and the drop amount is often a multiple of four. Therefore, if you want to farm Tel Var Stones in Imperial City, it is recommended that you form a team of 4 or less, and the team members will share Tel Var Stones equally.
Before going to Imperial City to start the battle, remember to flip Imperial City flags, which will increase your Tel Var Stones income.
Strong enemies will drop more Stones. Tel Var Stones are mainly obtained by killing Patrolling Horror Bosses in the city. Each district of Imperial City has a boss, and they respawn every 15 minutes.
If you fight alone, you can get 5,000 to 8,000 Tel Var Stones per boss you defeat, and you can farm them by running around and killing them repeatedly. Besides killing bosses, you can also get a small amount of Tel Var Stones by killing ordinary NPCs.
After completing the quest in Imperial City, you will receive Light Tel Var Satchel, Medium Tel Var Sack, or Hefty Tel Var Crate as a reward.
Killing NPCs In Imperial City Sewers
You can also get Tel Var Stones by finding and defeating NPCs you can see in Imperial City sewers. Keep an eye out for Cunning Scamps, which can get a lot of Tel Var Stones.
Farming Tel Var Stones this way is slower than killing bosses directly, and ordinary NPCs don’t drop as many Tel Var Stones as bosses, but it is relatively safer.
Killing Other Players In Imperial City
This method is more of a test of your PVP skills. In Imperial City, you can get Tel Var Stones by killing other ESO players. Every time you defeat a player, half of his Tel Var Stones will be divided between you and all your teammates who participated in the kill.
Of course, this rule also applies to you. If you die, you will lose half of your Tel Var Stones. You will not lose a Stone if you die in the two Group Dungeons in the city or outside Imperial City. So when you are in Imperial City, please be vigilant!
Make Good Use Of Tel Var Stones Multiplier
Carrying a lot of Tel Var Stones in Imperial City can gain a multiplier. The higher Tel Var Stones multiplier, the more Tel Var Stones you will get when you kill monsters. However, as mentioned above, once you die, you will lose half of your Tel Var Stones.
The specific relationship between the number of stones you carry and the multiplier is as follows:
- Carry 100 Stones: x2
- Carry 1,000 Stones: x3
- Carry 10,000 Stones: x4
The more Tel Var Stones you carry, the greater the benefits, but the risk also increases. You can decide the number of stones you carry based on your ability, which will help you get more Tel Var Stones faster.
