PTS Patch Notes v11.1.3 (again)

ZOS_Kevin · July 28

The Elder Scrolls Online v11.1.3 kicks off week 4 of the PTS Cycle. The main focus of this week's PTS update is to address overall bugs in Feast of Shadows, Solstice and Base Game Content.

In Feast of Shadows content, you will find bug fixes and improvements for the new dungeons, Black Gem Foundry and Naj-Caldeesh. Solstice and Base Game content have general fixes for zone, housing, and UI. There have also been a few achievement name changes and adjustments in Feast of Shadows and Solstice content. So keep an eye out for those in the patch notes.

Please review the full list of patch notes below. If you have feedback on PTS v11.1.3, make sure to provide it in our feedback and bug threads, located here. We look forward to your feedback.

*If you recall last week, we had an issue with the version number where it skipped to 11.1.3. We decided to get back to the regular number versioning, we would keep this week at 11.1.3 and continue changes from here. So next week will be 11.1.4. Thanks for the understanding!
