BASE GAME

The Armory System
Introducing The Armory – a new system that helps relieve the friction between switching or experimenting with your character’s builds! The Armory allows you to save any of your custom character builds, remembering your gear, Attributes, Abilities, Champion Points, and even if you are a Werewolf or Vampire. You can then effortlessly load any of those saved builds in an instant.

• The Armory is free to all players. To get started, simply obtain the free Armory Station from the Crown Store and place it in any of your homes.
• The Armory Assistant, Ghrasharog, is also available for a separate purchase to access all the functions of The Armory outside of your home.
• Note that you cannot save or load builds without interacting with an Armory Station or talking to the Armory Assistant.

Curated Item Set Drops
Bosses and reward chests from arenas and incursions will now preferentially drop set items that have not yet been unlocked in your Item Set Collections!

• Most bosses in the game, along with reward chests from arenas and incursions, will now preferentially drop set items that have not yet been unlocked in your Item Set Collections. These sources will only drop the set items that they can normally drop; the ways to acquire a particular item are unchanged, but it should be much easier to find items that you have not yet unlocked.
• Set items looted from treasure chests, containers, or from non-boss monsters are generally not curated in this manner.

Item Set Collection Summary
To compliment the new Curated Item Set Drops, we’ve added a Summary Page to the Item Set Collections UI. This is a high-level summary of your progress towards collecting every dropped set item in the game. Every major category has a progress bar to help guide you into finding the set items you are still missing.

New Mythic Items
Update 32 adds three new Mythic Items to obtain through the Antiquities system (note that the Greymoor Chapter is required in order to unearth Antiquities).

• Markyn Ring of Majesty
  • 1 – Gain 100 Weapon and Spell Damage and 1157 Armor for each 3-set bonus active on the wearer.
    Developer Comment:
    This set’s effect counts for any 3- or 5-piece set in which you are wearing a minimum of 3 of the pieces. For example, wearing 3 pieces of Agility gear counts as one 3-set bonus on the wearer. Wearing 3 pieces of Hunding’s Rage also counts as one 3-set bonus on the wearer as would wearing 5 pieces of Hunding’s Rage.
• Belharza’s Band
  • 1 – Increase the damage of your Light Attacks by 900. When you deal damage with consecutive melee Light Attacks, gain a stack of Belharza's Temper for 10 seconds, up to 5 stacks max. When you reach 5 stacks, consume Belharza's Temper and deal Physical Damage per stack to enemies in a line after a 1 second delay, stunning them for 3 seconds if 5 stacks are consumed. This effect can occur once every 10 seconds and scales off the higher of your Weapon or Spell Damage.
• Spaulder of Ruin
  • 1 – Activating Crouch toggles on and off a 12 meter Aura of Pride. Up to 6 allies in the aura gain 260 Weapon and Spell Damage. Reduce your Health, Magicka and Stamina Recovery by 70 for every group member benefiting from your Aura of Pride.
    Developer Comment:
    Only activating Crouch toggles Aura of Pride on or off. Exiting crouch will not toggle this set on or off.

Map Updates
In Update 32, active Dark Anchors and Skyshards will now appear on your in-game map!

• Active Dark Anchors will now display as active on the zone map when engaged, similar to Harrowstorms and Abyssal Geysers.
• Skyshards will now appear on the map and compass when you approach them, similar to other Points of Interest like Wayshrines and Set Stations.
  • Additionally, the Zone Guide will now direct you to the closest unacquired Skyshard when you have completed the other objectives in the zone.

Combat Music Options
We’ve added a new Combat Music dropdown in the Settings menu under Audio. You will now be able to decide if you want to hear all combat music, only boss combat music, or no combat music at all.

New PvP Emote
The Siegestomper emote is acquired by combining Arena Gladiator Proofs with an Arena Gladiator’s Revenge, available from War Researcher merchants in Cyrodiil.

NVIDIA DLSS & DLAA Support
In Update 32, we are introducing support for NVIDIA DLSS 2.2 (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and NVIDIA DLAA (Deep Learning Anti Aliasing). If you are playing ESO on a DLSS compatible NVIDIA graphics card with compatible drivers, you will see these new options available in the Video settings menu in the Anti-Aliasing dropdown.

• By selecting " NVIDIA DLSS" from the menu, you will be able to select your preferred mode from the "DLSS Mode" menu below the Anti-Aliasing dropdown.
• By selecting " NVIDIA DLAA", this will apply NVIDIA’s high quality deep learning anti-aliasing at native resolution with no upscaling.
• Given ESO's variety of settings, it is possible to have configurations that result in minimal to no performance gain from DLSS, specifically if you are CPU-limited while playing ESO. Gains are most likely to be seen while playing at higher resolutions such as 4k, with Multithreaded Rendering enabled, and GPU-intensive graphics settings enabled such as SSGI.
• Likewise, you should not expect performance improvements by using NVIDIA DLAA, as this was made available purely as a very high-quality antialiasing option.

Multithreaded Rendering Update
Multithreaded Rendering is now enabled by default. If desired, it can be disabled in the Video Settings panel.
