Some clarifcations on PTS/DB changes

unlord116 · May 2016

Hi all,

Can someone with access to PTS clear some questions up for me?

-What CP will the silver and gold zones scale to? Is it all the same, or will each zone be different? Not sure how this can be implemented after all my alts gets boosted to 160CP, they will get reduced xp from these zones but they havent even done them yet.

-With the changes to enchanting. Can hirelings still send all 3 rune types?
-Also this is not directly related to DB/PST, but can they even send the VR16 runes? I have them maxed at 50skill, 3/3 hireling. But they just send me vr15s instead. Are the 16s just rare, or will they not send em ever?

Thanks!

these have been answered by devs on ESO live so here is what i know.
All gold zones are Cp160.
Silver starts at cp40 and raises by zone to Cp160 in the final one.
If you have Cp160+ you are treated for XP as Cp160.
So for early silver zones, Xp is reduced. But for all gold and last silver Xp is full.

No changes to hirelings AFAIK. Whatever they can send now they will then.FWIW i haven't noticed NOT getting 16s from hirelings but really not paying that much attention.

Regarding VR removal there is an article from ZOS here with a lot of information.

Specific to your question regarding the zones.

To account for this, we adjusted the level of monsters across the Silver and Gold zones. Silver zones are now Champion Point 40, 70, 100, 130, 150. As we expect you to be around 160 Champion Points or higher after completing Silver, all of the Gold zones exclusively have Champion Point 160 monsters.
