The Elder Scrolls: Blades – All Hotfixes June 2023 | Sneak Cost Fix!

Introduction

In the latest patch notes, several issues have been addressed to enhance the gaming experience. Firstly, players will no longer be charged twice for the cost of sneak per tick, resolving a frustrating problem. Additionally, the activation of synergies has been adjusted to prevent players from exploiting them excessively.

Moving on to the dungeons, Scrivener’s Hall has undergone some changes. The Unburnt Footwork achievement can now only be obtained in Veteran difficulty, as originally intended. In the battle against Ozezan the Inferno, the visual combat indicator for Sand Storm has been improved for better visibility. Furthermore, Valinna will no longer suffer from lingering Damage over Time effects after moving to the final fight space. Players will also be relieved to know that Valinna can no longer be killed prematurely. Moreover, Valinna’s casting of Scorching Heat and the combat indicator for her Immolation Trap have been fixed to function as intended.

Lastly, in the Trials, the Maw of Lorkhaj has undergone a crucial adjustment. Dro-m’Athra Shadowguards will no longer remove taunt effects just before using their Void Rush ability. These changes aim to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience for players.

  Necrom Chapter

  New Zones – Telvanni Peninsula & Apocrypha
  Explore two new zones as you unravel the Shadows over Morrowind storyline! In this update, you’ll begin your journey in the Telvanni Peninsula, one of the most remote areas in the Morrowind province. From there, you’ll gain access to Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora’s personal domain in Oblivion.

  • To begin your adventures in Necrom, you can do any of the following:
    • Create a new character and play through the tutorial
    • Enter the zone with an existing character by one of the following means:
      • Use a boat or cart outside Elden Root, Mournhold, or Wayrest to travel to the Necrom Docks
      • Travel to a friend who is already in the Telvanni Peninsula or Apocrypha
  • After you complete the tutorial or otherwise arrive in the Telvanni Peninsula, seek out Leramil the Wise awaiting for your arrival at various locations in and around Necrom. She’ll ask you for help in the Main Story and send you to meet with the Daedric Prince of Forbidden Knowledge, Hermaeus Mora.
  • In addition to the Main Story, the Necrom Chapter includes the following activities:
    • Six delves, two in the Telvanni Peninsula and four in Apocrypha, each with its own Skyshard, boss, and associated content.
    • Six challenging world bosses, from Coryls the Chain-Maker and House Dres’ terrifying slavers encroaching on House Telvanni’s lands, to the mind-bending Prime Cataloguer, a Seeker that toils to the point of madness in the Libram Cathedral in Apocrypha.
    • Two public dungeons: the once-beautiful island of Gorne, a sanitarium for the maddened mages of House Telvanni now overrun by Daedra interested only in sowing chaos, and the enigmatic Underweave, a vast and unknowable facility where Hermaeus Mora’s hostile minions process the fates of realities that never came to pass.
    • Three new set crafting locations
    • Nine additional quest objectives
    • Multiple side quests, unique distractions and many other encounters sown throughout the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha

  Bastion Nymic World Events
  Shadows loom over both Apocrypha and the Telvanni Peninsula as a coterie of dark forces strike out at Hermaeus Mora to learn his most guarded secrets. These dark forces, led by a sinister figure known as the Herald, have set their eyes on Bastion Nymic, a fortress of Hermeaus Mora’s realm which holds Nymics – powerful names that can control Daedra once learned.

  • To thwart these forces, you must first make contact with Ordinator Tandessa, a Hermaeus Mora worshipper masquerading as one of the proud Ordinators of the Tribunal, and accept her request for aid. Once that’s done, you will need to scour the lands of the Telvanni Peninsula or Apocrypha for Herald’s Seekers, corrupted gatekeepers of Bastion Nymic.
    • These maddened sentries will need to be killed so their ichor can be harvested and used to open the way to Bastion Nymic. Be prepared and travel with allies – they won’t go down easily!
  • Once you have enough ichor, you can travel to one of Bastion Nymic’s entry portals and use the ichor to activate it. Once inside, the true challenge begins!
    • You and your group must fight your way through various districts of Bastion Nymic, felling foes and unravelling secrets until you confront the Herald at the heart of the fortress and kill them.
    • Once the invaders have been dispatched, you can claim your prize from Ordinator Tandessa.
  • As you explore Bastion Nymic, keep an eye out for secrets and make sure to bring friends! You won’t be able to rely on the help of strangers once inside!

  New Class: The Arcanist
  Owning the Necrom Chapter will allow you to channel the eldritch powers of Apocrypha as an Arcanist! These scholarly spellcasters channel secret runes and abyssal spells to destroy their enemies, heal their allies, and defend against any foe.

  • The Arcanist features a unique mechanic where some abilities can build or spend Crux. Each Crux you have, up to three maximum, will either passively increase your capabilities in combat or add further capabilities to abilities that spend Crux.
    • Crux gives the Arcanist a unique gameplay experience not yet seen in ESO and offers a greater variety in your gameplay whether you’re in Trials, questing or PvP.
    • You’ll see how much Crux you currently have by the floating runes circling your character.
    • You can only generate Crux while in combat.
  • We’ve also added a new UI feature to help aim your Fatecarver and Remedy Cascade abilities.
    • The new “Aim Assist” function is found in the Accessibility panel in your options, which gives your targeting a little help at 100% value.
    • This can be reduced all the way to 0 (disabled) if desired.

  Two New Companions: Sharp-as-Night and Azadar al-Cybiades
  Two new Companions can be befriended in Necrom by completing their associated Chapter content. Sharp-as-Night, the gruff mercenary, can be found near the city gates of Necrom. The bombastic and personable Azandar al-Cybiades, magus supreme, can be found around the outskirts of Cipher’s Midden in Apocrypha.

  • If you have access to the Necrom Chapter, you can unlock the two Companions through completing associated quests in the Necrom zone.
  • Once either introduction quest is completed, the respective Companion collectible will be granted.
    • These collectibles can be found in the Collections menu under the Allies category, in the Companion subcategory.
    • You may have either a Companion or an Assistant active at one time.
    • Companion collectibles may be activated from the Collections menu or quick slotted for ease of use.
    • Once unlocked, other characters on your account will need to also complete the associated introductory objective to utilize Sharp or Azandar, but skill line, level progression and equipment are preserved on each Companion regardless which character summoned them.
  • Each Companion possesses a passive perk ability which benefits you while the Companion is active, which can be seen via the Companion menu. This perk may also be permanently unlocked via Companion achievement accomplishment.
    • Sharp provides “Sharp’s Patience” which offers an improved chance at finding trophy fish and slightly reducing reel time.
    • Azandar grants “Azandar’s Inquisitiveness” which gives you a chance to discover research portfolios when searching containers. Portfolios can contain crafting recipes, treasure maps, research notes, survey reports, and other documents of value.

  New Trial: Sanity’s Edge
  A mind is a terrible thing to waste, especially one as bright and holds as much promise as that of Warlock Vanton. Hubris though got the better of him and now he needs help defeating the enemy unraveling his conscious. Travel into the mind of a mage and see just what his dreams and nightmares entail…

  • Sanity’s Edge is a 12-player Trial in southern Telvanni Peninsula.
  • The Trial includes a normal version in addition to a challenging Veteran version.
  • There are unique item sets within the trial including Perfected versions only found in Veteran difficulty.
  • Unique Achievement awards are available for completing this Trial, including:

  It’s the most exciting time of the year, our big yearly Chapter release! This time around we’re sticking to what we’ve been learning over the years, where we mainly keep large scale changes out of the Chapter update so you can focus more on the meaty new content, and especially so since this year the Arcanist joins the ranks as our 7th playable class. That being said, we still have a handful of adjustments and fixes coming this time around, mainly focused on bug squashing and targeted adjustments based on feedback we’ve seen since Updates 36 and 37.

  One of the main callouts we hope will make life easier for our courageous warriors is the update to melee attack range being a default of 7 meters, rather than 5. Some of you have been around long enough to know this was our original standard – which changed quite a while back – but the game has evolved quite a bit since then and we’re confident we can move back to this experience to better align with our combat pacing and feel. This extra 2 meters won’t be astronomical, but we hope that it reduces the likelihood of missing melee attacks in high mobility encounters and gives those who stay up close and personal a few more precious moments to react to in coming threats.

  In addition to this, we have some class adjustments coming in primarily focused on Templar and Sorcerer, which we saw a lot of discussion on over the past few months. While the change list below won’t touch every topic or problem space we’ve seen, we hope these adjustments help bolster these classes’ strengths in the right places, without having them go overboard. One main bit of feedback we saw for Templar was that they don’t feel as impactful in their ability to jump into the fray and hold their own, so we’ve looked at improving some of their defensive capabilities to better enable their offensive windows without needing to constantly turtle up as much as they do. To accomplish this, we’re allowing Rune Focus’ heal to partially enable at all times and gain strength when stationary, to help the class gain some staying power while on the move. Speaking of on the move, we’re also adding Major Protection to their main movement skill – Focused Charge – to help enable a better offensive window when they dive headfirst into the fray.

  Sorcerers, on the other hand, have been commenting how they lack access to a robust amount of Major and Minor buffs and debuffs with their class kit, which we agree with. While we won’t be adding a ton of access in this update, we’re starting by sweetening the dark deals they make by adding Minor Berserk to Dark Exchange and its morphs, to help reward the risk of activating it and make their spell slinging truly a thing to fear. We’ll also be making their Volatile Familiars a little less volatile by making the stun from the activate only happen once, and sooner to the activation, so it feels more controlled and deliberate while also increasing the chance it applies the Charged status effect, making Minor Vulnerability more reliable to be active.

  We’ll have other changes to item sets and some minor class tweaks, like Necromancer’s big damage increase on Flame Skulls’ 3rd cast, but this covers our main focuses in this update outside of the shiny new toys you’ll get between the Arcanist and new sets. Stay safe out there, adventurers, and we hope to see you on the roads in Tamriel!

  
  General

  • Fixed an issue where swapping bars while blocking and out of resources, while under the effects of Tri Focus or Stormweaver’s Cavort, could disable block until you dropped block and reactivated it.
  • Fixed an issue where sprinting while Heavy Attacking could lock you in sprint.
  • Melee abilities with a range of 5 meters have all been increased (back) to 7 meters, to aid in their use while moving and to offer more breathing room and reliability in landing.
    
  • Fixed an issue where you could become stuck resurrecting if you were hit by some staggers while resurrecting.
  • Fixed an issue where transitioning between zones or relogging could cause your current health to be lower than your Max Health when you had certain sources of Max Health bonuses, such as from Champion Points.
  • Fixed an issue where sources of Invisibility from things such as Shadow Cloak or potions could still allow you to be detected by other players in some cases, such as when you were wearing too many pieces of Heavy Armor, or when player targets had increases to Stealth Detection.
    • In efforts to keep the experience with detection and invisibility to operate similarly to previous iterations, we’ve increased the detection radius size of Detection potions to 45 meters. While this value is larger than before, it should still reveal invisible targets at the same distances as before, now that invisibility properly interacts with bonuses and penalties to detection sizes.
  • Fixed numerous issues where corpse consuming abilities could or couldn’t interact with corpses that had suffered unique death animations, such as disintegrating into a pile of ash. Corpse consuming abilities can now interact with any corpse that is consumable in nature, regardless of how the owner met their demise.
  • Fixed an issue where a health desync could occur when you used some specific abilities in a specific combination very specifically.
  • Fixed a typo for the Occult Hierophant in the Skill Advisor.
  • Fixed an issue with Skill Advisor having a passive learned too early.

  Buffs and Debuffs

  • Empower: Reduced this bonus to 70%, down from 80%.

      • This passive no longer extends the range of melee attacks by 2 meters, as this is now once again their standard range.
      • This passive now increases your Health Recovery by 129/259 per Draconic Power ability slotted. rather than 2/5% per ability.
