DLC GAME PACK

Imperial City
We are pleased to announce the Imperial City is now open for battle! You will need to be at least level 10 in order to enter the Imperial City, but you will be battle leveled according to the rules of your particular campaign. This new PvP space includes the Imperial City Districts and the extensive Imperial Sewers network. Fight the elite Xivkyn forces of Molag Bal, and increase your might by spending new Tel Var Stones on items more powerful than anywhere in Tamriel! Be on your guard as enemy alliance members lurk around every corner throughout the Imperial City Districts and Imperial Sewers to take those very stones from you in their own quest for glory! The Imperial City and the Imperial Sewers are aimed at small groups, but if you’re highly skilled, you can try going through alone.

• Open the Player Menu and navigate to the Social Menu, then Group Menu to access the Alliance War menu. Next, travel to your home campaign, or guest in a campaign of your choosing.
• In Cyrodiil, travel to one of your alliance’s two home gates and talk to one of your alliance's Imperial City captains to obtain the quest to go to the Imperial City. You can also obtain the quest from one of your alliance’s generals in the Imperial Sewers.
• There are three dragon icons on your map around Lake Rumare. These icons correspond with gates that lead to the Imperial Sewers. Use your keep transport network to travel as close to Lake Rumare as you’re able, then ride to the door and enter the Sewers via one of the gates.
• When you enter the Imperial City, you'll arrive in your alliance's home base location—a safe area within the Imperial Sewers. If you’ve taken the quest from one of your alliance captains in Cyrodiil, you can advance the story by speaking to the general in this area. If you haven’t taken the quest, the general will also offer you the questline.
• Talk to the Drake of Blades in your alliance's home base to complete the quest, and begin your Imperial City adventure!

Imperial Sewers
The Imperial Sewers are a large PvP public dungeon that also contains the home base – a safe area – for each alliance.

• Merchants and crafting stations are housed in each alliance home base.
• Each alliance home base also includes the transit hub, a collection of ladders that each lead to one of the Imperial Districts above ground.
• The Imperial Sewer network contains many perils including new Xivkyn Elite Guard, bosses, Trove and Cunning Scamps, trapped chests and Coldharbour portals.
• Within the Imperial Sewers, there are six ladders that also lead to the districts. These are not as safe as the ladders accessible from your alliance’s home base.
• Resurrecting within the Imperial Sewers will take you back to your alliance’s Imperial City home base.
• There are two ways you can leave the Imperial City: by way of the Imperial City Prison or White-Gold Tower, and through your alliance’s home base in the Imperial Sewers.
  • If you leave the Imperial City by way of exiting the Imperial City Prison or White-Gold Tower dungeons, you will return to your alliance’s capital city.
  • To leave the Imperial City, you go through your alliance’s home base in the Imperial Sewers, the same way you came in. This will return you to your home base in Cyrodiil (the same campaign you entered through.)

Imperial City Districts
The Imperial City Districts are an open PvP area that contains the entrenched forces of Molag Bal, his elite Xivkyn army, and the corrupted Imperial Legion, “Legion Zero.”

• Each Imperial District has a unique story which, once completed, unlocks repeatable daily quests.
• Each of the six Imperial Districts features a Trophy Vault. The doors to these vaults are magically sealed by forces unknown, and you must collect 60 trophy items by killing monsters in the Imperial City in order to enter the vault. Inside, you’ll find a chest full of valuable items.
• Be on your guard for large roaming bosses that patrol the streets!
• Resurrecting within the Imperial Districts will take you to an elevated platform within the District for your alliance.
• You can find unique crafting stations safely nestled within the Imperial Districts as well.

Tel Var Stones
Every monster has a chance to drop a new currency called Tel Var Stones.

• This currency can be spent on new armor, lock boxes, and general equipment in your alliance home base in the Imperial Sewers, as well as deposited in your bank.
• Bosses and more challenging monsters will drop a greater number of Tel Var Stones than regular monsters.
• As you pass certain thresholds of Tel Var Stones that you are carrying, you’ll gain a multiplier to all future Tel Var Stones you collect from monster kills.
• If you die to another player character, they will get 80% of the Tel Var Stones you currently have on your character.
  • The amount of Tel Var Stones will be split amongst all player characters that contributed to your demise.

White-Gold Tower
Race to the top of the White-Gold Tower in pursuit of a stolen Elder Scroll—but is the top of the tower even in Tamriel anymore? What secrets does Regent Clivia Tharn have up her Imperial sleeves?

• The White-Gold Tower is a standard 4-player PvE dungeon.
• The minimum level requirement for White-Gold Tower is level 10, but the recommended level is 25.
• To enter the White-Gold Tower:
  • You can queue for this dungeon outside of the Imperial City, but you must have the DLC game pack.
  • You can teleport directly to the dungeons via your Point of Interest map icons for the dungeons, as long as you are not in Cyrodiil or the Imperial City.
  • You can also use each dungeon’s front door from within the Imperial City.
• There is one Trophy Vault located in the White-Gold Tower that requires 150 trophy items only found off Veteran bosses in the White-Gold Tower, in order to open it.

Imperial City Prison
Even before the Planemeld, this grim complex just outside the walls of the Imperial City was never the happiest site in Cyrodiil. Since Molag Bal ceded it to the worst of his Daedra, it’s become a place out of a horrific nightmare.

• The Imperial City Prison is a standard 4-player PvE dungeon.
• The minimum level requirement for the Imperial City Prison is level 10, but the recommended level is 35.
• To enter the Imperial City Prison:
  • You can queue for this dungeon outside of the Imperial City, but you must have the DLC game pack.

• There is one Trophy Vault located in the Imperial City Prison that requires 150 trophy items only found off Veteran bosses in the Imperial City Prison, in order to open it.

Fishing in Imperial City
Adventurers will find the moats of Imperial City particularly rife with fish, more so than elsewhere in Tamriel. However, the groundskeepers normally responsible for tending to these piscine communities are, unfortunately, dead and/or Daedra. Be warned!

New Item Sets
This update includes approximately two dozen new item sets to seek out and acquire! These can be crafted at special locations within the Imperial City, purchased from Tel Var Armorer and Tel Var Greater Armorer merchants, or obtained from the White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison dungeons.

Xivkyn Style Motif

• Molag Bal’s personal guard, the Xivkyn, have brought their intimidating Daedric style from Coldharbour to the Imperial City.You can learn to craft in the Xivkyn style by finding the Chapters for it, which are sometimes kept in certain well-warded chests in Imperial City.
  • These chests require items that drop from many Daedra and their servants to open.
• Once you’ve found a Chapter, you must be at least Rank 9 in the Metalworking, Tailoring, or Woodworking passives to permanently learn the style.
• To actually craft Xivkyn-styled gear, you’ll also need some Charcoal of Remorse, which can be purchased at Tel Var General merchants in your alliance’s base in the Imperial Sewers.
• Once you know the style and have the materials, you can craft the Xivkyn style at any equipment crafting bench, both in and out of the Imperial City.

New Achievements
We have added a number of new achievements to the game, all tied to the Imperial City. These can be found under the Alliance War or Dungeon and Group Dungeon achievement categories.

New Collectibles
We have added new Collectibles that you can permanently add to your collection:

• The Necrotic Hoarvor Pet can be acquired by completing the achievement “Imperial City Challenger.” This achievement is the ultimate test of your skills in the new Veteran Dungeons found in the Imperial City.
• The Soul Shriven skin and the Stonefire Scamp Pet can rarely be obtained by defeating the elite Daedric forces and their master in the darkest depths of the Imperial Sewers.
• The Xivkyn Dreadguard, Xivkyn Tormentor, and Xivkyn Augur Polymorphs can very rarely be found in Imperial Reward containers, purchasable from Tel Var Lockbox merchants and Tel Var Greater Lockbox merchants who are found in your alliance’s base in the Imperial City Sewers.

• Prisoner of Jathsogur: Changed the structure of this quest to minimize confusion and prevent griefing.
  • You no longer need to engage with Drauginas, and the step to defeat her has been removed.
  • You need only participate in the "Defend the Silvenar" event (which was separate from Drauginas) on the lower floor; if you leave the lower floor while it is in progress, you will fail the event.
  • Drauginas will no longer spawn at all, as she has no involvement with this quest.
  • Anyone within 30 meters of Chief Nagoth when he dies will have the quest step "Defend the Silvenar" advanced automatically, regardless of event participation. This change necessitates a re-grant of the quest, which should happen automatically for you.
  • We also fixed an issue where your quest progress would be blocked if you logged out on the step after you Defend the Silvenar.
• Reap What is Sown: Reduced the area in which you gain or lose the Drublog Glamour disguise.
