Tribunal Celebration
Return to Morrowind and the Clockwork City! This week’s test features a dual DLC celebration that allows you engage with content from either zone, offering rewards themed for all three of the Tribunal deities.

You may earn 2 Event Tickets each day.
- One of these tickets comes from completing any Vvardenfell daily quest (delve, world boss, Ashlander, etc.) and the other comes from any Clockwork City daily quest (delve, world boss, Slag Town, etc.).
The first daily quest you complete each day (which can be from either zone) rewards you a Glorious Tribunal Box.
- This valuable reward contains an assortment of tantalizing Tribunal treasures, treasure maps, item set pieces from those two zones, and a guaranteed motif chapter, runebox, or pet fragment for one of this event’s rewards.
- Additional completed dailies will reward a slightly-less-valuable Tribunal Box, which has a smaller chance to contain that last category of items rather than a guarantee.
- Tribunal Boxes can also drop from engaging in all sorts of zone activities, from looting monsters to opening chests or harvesting resources.
Trial bosses from Halls of Fabrication and Asylum Sanctorium have a chance to drop extra loot.

Antiquities

Fixed an issue where you would occasionally not obtain Bonus Loot when completing Excavations in Eyevea. You'll now receive items in the Trainee set from Eyevea.

Homes

The Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery now correctly appears in the “Classic” category in the Gamepad Collections menu, instead of being miscategorized in the “Notable” category.
- Note: This was a UI issue only, and did not impact furnishing limits or any other functionality for the home.

General

NPCs in English now have their mouths properly match the words they are saying.
Updated the music and sound effects for several quests.

Vateshran Hollow Arena

General
- Essence remnants will no longer occasionally appear in the ground.
Hunter’s Grotto
- The final grapple post leading to Rahdgarak will no longer disappear should you jump while grappling.
- Luminous Apparitions and Moonlight Phantoms will now re-target enemies that grapple to their islands.
- Rahdgarak’s grunts and growls no longer appear in the chat window or on-screen. You will need to turn your volume up to get your minotaur grunting fix from now on.
The Wounding
- Gatekeepers in The Wounding have now been promoted to Dire Wardens from Wardens. They had a good annual review so we thought the title was appropriate compensation.
Champion’s Circle
- Void Firehorns will now correctly animate when casting Brimstone.

Homes

Adjusted the default placement of the fire logs in the Stone Eagle Aerie fireplace to appear more natural.
Adjusted the furnished version of Shalidor’s Shrouded Realm to replace some of the empty bookcases with pre-filled versions.

General

Added a zone travel cart to facilitate travel between Bangkorai and the Reach.
Adjusted the placement of some structures in the Halls of Arkthzand to correct gaps or floating objects.
Fixed an issue preventing some templated characters from entering Arkthzand Caverns

Quests

Adjusted the timing of voice lines in multiple quests to prevent them from overlapping or playing at the incorrect times.
A Feast of Souls: You will no longer see duplicate Markarth citizens if you accept the final zone story quest while within Markarth.
After the Storm: Pentarch Sevida will no longer continually respawn.
Betrayal at Briar Rock: Fixed some quest markers so they now appear correctly on the map and doors.
The End of Eternity: Adjusted the timing for the visual effects of the Dark Heart to play at the appropriate moments.

Frostvault
- Stonekeeper no longer appears offset from its base.

Ability Altering Weapons

Executioner's Blade: Fixed an issue where this set could cause your Stamina to desync.
Force Overflow:
- This set no longer states it can only affect group members, as it affects any allies in the tether.
- Fixed an issue where the resources restored could sometimes fail to apply to multiple targets.
- Fixed an issue where this set could apply to all group members, even when they were not in the tether.
- Fixed an issue where the wearer of this set could not generate resources from it.

ZOS_GinaBruno · October 2020

General

Fixed issue where the Daemon Cockerel pet's eyes would not glow at night.

Midyear Mayhem

Removed the Rimedusk Indrik from the Impresario's store during Midyear Mayhem, as it shouldn’t be there anymore!
Corrected the name of Midyear Mayhem on the Holiday Announcement window so it no longer says “Midyear Mayhem Celebration”.

New Life Festival

Old Life Remembrance: Unshared the steps from this quest to prevent well-meaning grouped players with a different target zone from blocking their groupmates.

Witches Festival

The Essence of Death can now drop from delve bosses in the Reach.

Item Set Collection

Fenced items and those destroyed via “Destroy All Junk” will now be added to your Item Set Collection.
Fixed an issue where the generic item set tooltip in the Item Sets Book was inheriting its border from the last item tooltip that was displayed.

Houseguests

Updated Historian Phedre’s map, so that it no longer appears to have small metal pins holding up the corners of the map. (The previous version was a little … tacky.)

General

Fixed a crash that could occur during combat, related to directional damage indication.

General

You can now right click unbound items to manually bind them to your character.
Fixed a UI error that could occur in the Quickslot menu.
Fixed a UI error that would occur if you had an ESO Plus membership and attempted to purchase a partially owned bundle.

Addons

Added support for additionalFilter overriding by AddOns with the addition of subfilters to keyboard inventory.
Added a new API function for getting a valid unit's exact world position for the purpose of tracking or rendering absolute positions:
- GetUnitRawWorldPosition(unitTag)
  Returns:
  zoneId (int)
  x (int)
  y (int)
  z (int)

Gamepad Mode

Fixed a UI error that could occur when leaving a Guild Bank.
