New DLC Question, is it just a few small quests?

Veinblood1965 · March 2022

I'm not at home right now but saw the new DLC prequal (I don't recall the name) to High Isle last night for crowns. I have ESO plus I was under the impression it would be free as all other DLC's are with Plus is that not the case?

The description looks to me like it was just a few quests and not much to explore can someone let me know what the new DLC is exactly? Does it take a while to get through it or is it just a few quests or? Worth trying?

Thanks

It's a double dungeon dlc. So two new group dungeons with each one quest. But yes, it is included with ESO+. People without ESO+ can buy it with crowns.

The first DLC of every year is a dungeon DLC, which is indeed included in ESO+. In terms of new playable content they only add two new dungeons, but also introduce new sets and sometimes mechanics and other things (like this latest one, U33, bringing Account-wide Achievements).

Ever since Elsweyr, each year-long story has been divided into 4 quarters throughout the year.
The pattern is: Dungeon DLC, Chapter, Dungeon DLC, Smaller expansion

Elsweyr's year (2019) was "Season of the Dragon" and the quarters were: Wrathstone (Dungeon DLC), Northern Elsweyr (Chapter), Scalebreaker (Dungeon DLC), Southern Elsweyr (Smaller expansion)
The following year (2020) we had the "Dark Heart of Skyrim": Harrowstorm, Greymoor, Stonethorn, Markarth
Then (2021) Gates of "Oblivion": Flames of Ambition, Blackwood, Waking Flame, Deadlands

Similarly, this year-long story, called "Legacy of the Bretons" will develop according to the now usual pattern: so far we know of Ascending Tide (Dungeon DLC) and High Isle (Chapter)

Dungeon DLCs and smaller expansions can be unlocked with ESO+ regardless of whether you bought the chapter or not. Previous chapters can be unlocked with ESO+ once a new chapter comes out. So Blackwood will be available with ESO+ once High Isle is released.

It is important to note that last year, the Deadlands smaller expansion was given for free to all Blackwood owners, so maybe they might do the same this year, who knows.

Some time before the High Isle launches, you can play through it's Prologue Quests. If you wish to be familiar with characters appearing in the Prologue & the dungeons, you should at least complete the Daggerfall Covenant questline and Dragonhold DLC questline.

ESO+ gives you temporary access to all DLC, but you don't own them.

So ESO+ lets you play Ascending Tide as long as you have ESO+, but since you don't own it, you'll still see it in the Crown Store as purchaseable. "Owning" it lets you play it whether you have ESO+ or not.
