The Elder Scrolls Online v9.3.1 includes several fixes for the Gold Road prologue quest and a few initial fixes for the new Scions of Ithelia dungeons, combat abilities and item sets. We’ve also activated the Jester’s Festival event for testing this week and have made a few updates to the tutorial portal room. The size of this patch is approximately 410MB.

    Event Testing: Jester’s Festival
    The Jesters Festival returns! As always, you can complete the introductory quest to acquire a Pie of Misrule as a delicious memento treat. The first Jesters Festival daily you complete each day will award you a gold-quality Stupendous Jester’s Festival Box and 3 Event Tickets, with subsequent dailies granting purple quality Jester’s Festival Boxes that have smaller chances to give you The Good Stuff.
    • As with other events such as Witches Festival and New Life Festival last year, the experience bonus previously provided by eating the pie is now PASSIVE during the event. You don’t need to do anything to get it. It applies to everything and there’s no buff to track.
      • Note: We are working on a way to display some in-game indicator that the effect is active just to put minds at ease, but that will be forthcoming after solving some technical hangups associated with buffs that are not buffs.
    • This year’s goofy pageantry includes style pages for the new Seeker Mummer outfit, so you too can dress like a slurpy squid-fella from scenic Apocrypha.
    • The Impresario will have all three fragments of both the Molag Bal Illusion Imp pet and Planemeld’s Master body and face markings, along with bound versions of fragments and style pages for the new offerings this year. She will also carry some older offerings for folks who still need to collect them, so be sure to visit her for her latest stock.

    Tutorial Updates
    We’ve updated the post-quest tutorial portal room so new accounts will be initially limited to the portals to Stros M'Kai, Bleakrock Isle, and Khenarthi's Roost, depending on their alliance. Upon using any of the aforementioned portals, you will gain the ability to use portals to any additional zones available to your account as well as the ability to skip the tutorial on subsequent characters.

    combat-and-abilities.png
    Sorcerer
    • Daedric Summoning
      • Conjured Ward: Fixed an issue with this ability and the Hardened Ward's morph where the conditional heal could fail if an ally pet was nearby you, rather than only looking at if you - the caster - had a pet active.

    Guild
    • Fighter’s Guild
      • Trap Beast
        • Barbed Trap: This morph now increases the damage done of the initial hit by 20% and the initial hit now always applies the Hemorrhaging status effect, rather than increasing the chances of applying the effect by 10 times.
          Developer Comment:
          Since we’ve significantly buffed Hemorrhaging in instances when you can keep up the effect, we’re toning down this morph’s ability to passively keep it active. Now the initial hit will help jump start your stacks, but you’ll need to find additional sources of Bleed Damage to keep up the pressure.

    Dungeon Sets
    • Cinders of Anthelmir: Fixed an issue where this set was visible to all targets instead of just the wearer of the set and enemies.

    Monster Sets
    • Maarselok: Fixed an issue where this set could ignore its own cooldown in some cases, and stack multiple times from the same caster.
