Step into Sotha Sil's realm with the Clockwork City DLC game pack, coming this Fall as part of ESO Plus membership and available in the Crown Store. Find out everything you need to know about this new zone and Update 16 with our preview article!
The Clockwork City is a standalone DLC game pack that will be available free to all ESO Plus members and for purchase from the in-game Crown Store. Note that you will not need a copy of ESO: Morrowind in order to acquire access to this new content (only the base game). The Clockwork City DLC game pack features a new zone to explore, a new story quest to experience, and a new fast-paced Trial that is sure to challenge you and your comrades.
In addition to the DLC game pack, Update 16 brings a free base game update that includes a new Battlegrounds game mode ( ESO: Morrowind owners only), Xbox One X support, and a host of additional base game fixes, updates, and additions.
EXPLORE A MECHANICAL WONDERLAND
In the Clockwork City DLC game pack, you can enter Sotha Sil's legendary creation and explore his mysterious mechanical world. Previously, you might have experienced a small part of the Clockwork City in The Elder Scrolls Online chapter update, ESO: Morrowind, or had visited the mechanical realm 700 years in the future in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. However, with this new DLC game pack, you'll be able to explore it like never before.
As you travel this new zone, you'll discover a strange and unique environment where the buildings, creatures, and even some of the inhabitants are complex mechanical constructs. Central to this new zone is the Brass Fortress, your primary hub location. There, you'll find merchants, crafting stations, and important NPCs. While the Brass Fortress might be relatively safe for travelers, as you venture beyond its walls, you'll find yourself in constant peril thanks to wild Fabricants and other dangers. The mechanical constructs of Sotha Sil are rarely hospitable to mortals!
In addition to exploration, there are many challenges for brave adventurers. You'll find two menacing World Bosses to defeat, two mysterious Delves to explore, a new Trial to conquer, and a host of standalone and daily quests that will reward you with new and unique set items, Motif Chapters, collectibles, and more!
UNCOVER A DAEDRIC CONSPIRACY
A shadowy conflict between Daedric Princes is unfolding in Oblivion, and just as you might have found in ESO: Morrowind and the Orsinium DLC game pack, Clockwork City will continue to offer you glimpses into this intrigue on other planes.
In this new adventure, you can experience an all-new, stand-alone story (similar in size to the main quest lines found in the Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild DLC game packs) that will see you travel to the heart of the mechanical realm.
In ESO: Morrowind, you were introduced to the living god Vivec and his struggles against an unknown assailant. This time, it's his fellow Tribune Sotha Sil who finds himself beset by an unknown threat. It's up to you to join the ancient Telvanni sorcerer Divayth Fyr, track down a powerful artifact, and expose a Daedric conspiracy that could forever change the nature of the Clockwork City, the Tribunal, and Tamriel itself.
FACE A NEW, CHALLENGING TRIAL
The Clockwork City DLC game pack will also come with a new Trial for large, 12-player groups: the Asylum Sanctorium. An eerie clockwork sanitarium, the Asylum Sanctorium is a shorter Trial experience that pits your team against three mechanical bosses and promises to reward you with powerful Asylum Weapons.
This new Trial is unique in that your group will choose how and when to face each boss, helping to determine how challenging the experience will be. Dare you try to complete the Trial as quickly as possible and strike directly at the main boss? If you do, your team will have to deal with all three at the same time!
The ability to choose when you face each boss allows your group to customize the difficulty and speed of the Trial, and there are different rewards associated with the different ways it can be completed. This means that experienced speed-running guilds and newer public groups will both enjoy the Asylum Sanctorium in different ways, depending on their style of play.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR ITEM TRAITS
The Clockwork City DLC game pack and Update 16 also introduce the all-new Transmutation system, allowing you to change the traits on your gear, including weapons and armors.
In order to Transmute an item, you must locate a Transmutation station and have the item trait researched in your crafting Skill Line. This means if you'd like to add the Sharpened trait to your dagger, you must first ensure you have the ability to craft daggers with that trait. You'll be able to find a Transmutation station in the heart of the Brass Fortress within the Clockwork City or acquire one for your home from a certain Master Writ merchant.
In addition to the crafting skill requirement, Transmutation requires a special new resource called Transmutation Crystals that you'll need to collect and save. You'll be able to earn Transmutation Crystals by completing veteran level content (such as Veteran Mode Dungeons or Trials).
We're very excited to introduce this new crafting system, so keep an eye out for more information on Transmutation in the future!
ENJOY A HUGE BASE GAME UPDATE
Included with the Clockwork City DLC game pack will be a free base game update that everybody can enjoy. Update 16 will include numerous fixes, balance changes, performance improvements, Xbox One X support, and additions such as a Trait Tracker system that will allow you to see whether or not you've researched the unique trait on an item.
Finally, the base game update will also include a new Battlegrounds game type for ESO: Morrowind owners: Crazy King! In Crazy King, your team must seize a capture point location that jumps randomly around the map. We'll be sharing more about this exciting new PvP mode in the near future, so look out for more details soon.
WELCOME TO SOTHA SIL'S GREATEST CREATION
An all-new zone to explore, new adventures, new challenges, unique rewards, and a host of new systems and improvements; there's something for everyone in the Clockwork City DLC game pack and Update 16. We can't wait to tell you more about this new zone and update, so watch for additional previews in the not-too-distant future. Will you enter the Clockwork City and put a stop to the Daedric threat? Let us know on Twitter @TESOnline and Facebook!

The Place by Tony Walsh Please ReadThis is the place in the North West of England
It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing
From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking
Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and
So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands
We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands
And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton
And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten
And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome
And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it
And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth
But the Manchester way is to make it yourself
And make us a record, a new number one
And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!
And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league
And make us sing louder and make us believe it
that this is the place that has helped shape the world
And that this the place where a Manchester girl
Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side
Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride
And this is the place with appliance of science
We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance
In the face of a challenge we always stand tall
Mancunians in union delivered it all
Such as housing and libraries, and health, education
And unions and co-ops, the first railway station
So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!
But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!
And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls
And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul
And so this is the place to do business, then dance
Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance
And this is the place where we first played as kids
And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did
And this is the place where our folks came to work
Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt
And they built us a city. They built us these towns
And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound
Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves
They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves
And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe
The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive
And to work and to build, to connect and create and
Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great
And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own
Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home
And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat
All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets
Because this is a place that has been through some hard times
Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times
But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit
Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics
And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city
But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity
Because this a place where we stand strong together
With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever
And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)
Can get funding and something to help with their scheme
Because this is the place that understands your grand plans
We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!
Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere
You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer
You can live local, give local. We can honestly say
We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way
And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams
We support local dreamers to work for their dreams
We support local groups and the great work they do
So can you …help us help… local people like you?
Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes
Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones
‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact
That this is the place. We should give something back.
Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.3 -

Finally to be a master crafter w/ all 9 traits becomes more advantageous4 -
priforce✭✭✭I'm hoping that T-Crystals will come in the Undaunted Chests. It makes sense for them to as they would give added incentive to complete dungeons as opposed to dropping them from bosses as bound items. Trials would use a different system of course of having them drop from the last boss or a chest at the end.0 -

Better start saving those master writes now, I'm sure the Transmutation station will 350 or more writs. Personally I'm thinking 500 -750 writs really."We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."2 -
I_killed_Vivec✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Hmmm... colour me skeptical...
I can see it now - one run gets me almost the piece of gear I wanted, but the wrong trait. No matter, got a T-Crystal!
Only 99 more needed to perform the trait change
97 runs later... oh, the gear I wanted drops in the right trait
Of course that's not what they want. What they want is...
"99 more T-Crystals? That will take for ever! Can't I get them in the Crown Store?"
Of course you can...6 -

Why would it be so high? It sounds like it will be available in cities like the other normal crafting stations, so it shouldn't cost that much more than a normal station.0 -

It's easy, you earn AP, buy the new AP motifs, sell 'em on guild stores, spend that money on crystals from guild stores. If you have a good trade guild, you can buy and sell at the same store."We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."0 -

Also, please don't link it to Veteran dungeons as there are many players that don't do this sort or content.
And PLEASE make the transmuted items bound so that the few that massive hoards of cash and/or are hardcore raiders can simply crank out massive flavor of the month trait items for resale.

✭✭✭✭✭I just hope this 'Transmutation" will not be locked behind DLC and will be a base game update... also I hope it will not be locked behind some impossible (for a normal solo player) to grind, super rare stuff.... Otherwise there is almost no point of it....
All I can see that it is supposed to limit grinding for "Perfect" (BiS) gear significantly... but I guess it will bombard you with even more grinding than before (instead of grinding gear - you will be grinding Transmutation Crystals..... )1
