PlayStation 4 Patch Notes v1.22

ZOS_GinaBruno

OVERVIEW
The Elder Scrolls Online v1.22 is an incremental patch for PlayStation 4 that fixes a number of game crashes, has several adjustments to how you obtain Decorative Wax (used in Furnishing Crafting), and addresses a number of Master Writ and housing-related bugs. We’ve also adjusted the timeframe that the luxury furnisher Zanil Theran will be present, and have several fixes for quests, UI, and more.

Please note we are still working on the issue where you can become disconnected while playing through a Trial, and plan to have a fix in a future patch.

• Made several adjustments to the places Decorative Wax can be found. These changes increase the overall availability of Decorative Wax, and make finding it a more consistent experience.

  • Reduced the chance to obtain Decorative Wax from several sources that were dropping wax more often than intended.

  • Plentiful Harvest no longer applies to furnishing materials found from the sources listed above.

• Fixed an issue where some item set bonuses were occasionally not being removed properly.
• Scourge Harvester: Fixed an issue where this item set’s proc was healing based on a different source of damage other than itself.
• Wise Mage: Fixed an issue where the Minor Vulnerability debuff applied by this item set was increasing the enemy’s damage taken by 8 instead of 8%.

Housing
Furnishers

• Zanil Theran, the Luxury Furnisher, will now be present during roughly the same timeframe as Adhazabi Aba-daro the Golden. The Luxury Furnisher will now arrive at midnight UTC on Saturday (Friday at 8:00pm EDT), and depart at noon UTC on Monday (Monday at 8:00am EDT).
