September seems to be an eventful month for Elder Scrolls Online, not only because console players can finally enjoy the latest feature of Update 43, Home Tours, but more importantly, there are several exciting contents to be introduced during September.
From free DLC, Arms Pack, several new activities, to the return of Undaunted and noteworthy 4-Group Dungeons, here we will detail everything you will be interested in this month! Without further ado, let’s get straight to it!
Home Tours Contest
To celebrate Home Tours feature added in Update 43, all players will be able to submit your house to Home Tours Contest from September 4th to win prizes. For all the decorators who enjoy decorating their own houses, this is definitely an excellent opportunity for you to get ESO Gold and rare decorations!
Is Seabloom Villa Worth Trying?
In order to get to the top of the competition, many players want to try to get a new house, and Seabloom Villa is one of their wish lists. But don’t worry, let’s talk about all the pros, cons, cool features, size, furniture, and build a space of this house to help you decide if this house is worth your investment.
Seabloom Villa is a medium-sized house that can hold 200 or 400 pieces of furniture (depending on whether you have ESO Plus) and is located atop a seaside cliff on the coast of Auridon. However, the surrounding neighbors are not very good, not only because there is a World Boss outside, but more importantly there are no Wayshrines nearby, but it does have some very beautiful views, and a hidden secret!
This house and the furniture inside are all Alinor style, but the interior of the house itself is quite dark, with only a few low-light windows and a few lights. The yard around the house has 50 different plants and rocks, which you can choose to remove. The building perimeter is far from the cliff, so there is room for you to build outside the island as well.
The coolest part of this house, though, is the little Soul Gem Stand that you can’t move, but it is interactive! As you use it, flowers and vines will grow or disappear from the front wall of the house, giving it a very magical feel, which is another factor to consider when decorating.
So, is this home worth your investment? To be honest, the house is actually very small, there is nothing special inside, and it is a bit dark considering the bright and colorful surroundings outside. However, if you like decorating yards, then it is simply a wise move. And first-time decorators will find it less daunting because of its size, and the ratio between empty space and furniture capacity is perfect!
Update 44 Live Preview
With the release of Update 43, we can also expect a preview of Update 44 and the upcoming PvP changes, all of which you can find out during Bethesda live broadcast on September 10!
Undaunted Celebration Event
This month also ushered in Undaunted Celebration, a fun event centered on 4-man dungeons that can drop wonderful cosmetic items.
Aside from all the shiny styles you can get, the biggest bonus of this event is that after defeating the last boss, you’ll get an event coffer, which grants you a second curated set piece for each dungeon you complete. So get ready to complete some dungeon set collections!
Curated Shoulder
Update 43 also brings Curated Shoulder Set Pieces, but having enough Undaunted Keys is essential if you want to unlock it. And in September, you’ll have even more ways to get Undaunted Keys. During this month, you’ll receive Daily Seals besides Keys for completing tasks!
Thurvokun Arms Pack
To further incentivize dungeon crawling, ESO is also offering players Thurvokun Arms Pack as a reward. If you unlock the achievement “Returned Undaunted” by completing 10 Undaunted Pledges from Undaunted NPC here, you can claim this nifty Weapon Style Set for free from Crown Store!
Daily Rewards
The daily rewards this month are pretty good too!
Furniture & Festive Headdresses
Players will be able to get a ton of different furniture, including a flock of Animated Blue Butterfly Flocks and a bunch of Alinor Pieces, some Luminous Ink, and some Seals of Endeavor. There should also be a festive headdress to get you into West Weald spirit in mid-September, giving you more opportunities to dress up your character.
Dragon Bones DLC
Dragon Bones DLC will also be given away for free in the daily rewards, giving you a couple of more difficult dungeons to enjoy during Undaunted event. This is great news for those who don’t have ESO Plus, because on the 3rd day of logging in this month you can get Fang Lair Dungeon, and on the 4th day you can fight for Scalecaller Peak Dungeon.
Dungeon Explorer Costume
You can also get the 2 Vanquisher achievements associated with both Dungeons by completing them, and unlock Dungeon Explorer Costume for free! These achievements can be unlocked in Normal mode, but if you do complete the dungeon in Veteran mode, they will still unlock!
Gold Road Celebration
While there is no confirmed date yet, sometime towards the end of this month, a celebration centered on the latest expansion, Gold Road, will begin, giving players the chance to head to West Weald to enjoy beautiful fall foliage, double drops, and rewards. Note, however, that you’ll need to own Gold Road Chapter to participate, but historically, expansions have been discounted during the celebration! So don’t miss out!
Final Thoughts
Anyway, let’s have some fun with dungeons this month! The two free DLC dungeons that come with Undaunted Celebration not only offer a higher challenge but also increase the chances of earning extra rewards. So if you haven’t tried them yet, you’ll want to try them this time.
In addition, the extra rewards in this month’s Arms Pack are also very popular, so be sure to unlock and claim all the free cosmetics and dungeon rewards before they’re gone! I wish you an exciting adventure in September exploring the dungeons of Tamriel!
