Boom! Elder Scrolls Online players have known about the Wrathstone DLC for only a week, and now here we are welcoming its arrival on the PTS today, along with the accompanying update 21. So what’s in store?
Wrathstone is focused on kicking off that Season of the Dragon plotline with two new dungeons: the once-lost Dwarven vault called Frostvault (beware the goblins!) and the sunken Ayleid ruin known as Depths of Malatar. Those are both part of the paid DLC, and both 4-man dungeons come in normal, veteran, and hard mode flavors.
The base-game update will ensure that PvPers will walk away happy, too, as they’re getting a new battleground arena called Eld Angvar and new PvP rewards too. But we humbly submit that the quality-of-life improvements are the real star of this update: that’d be updates to racial passive abilities, the guild trader UI, and the zone guide system.
“In order to help you find and complete more of ESO’s zone content, Update 21 introduces the new Zone Guide system. This new tool can be accessed from your Group & Activity Finder or map, and it allows you to see your progress in any of Tamriel’s zones or beyond, tracking activities such as Zone Story Quests, Wayshrines, Delves, Striking Locals, Skyshards, and much more. You can even use this new tool to give you a quest marker to your next objective in order, starting with the zone’s quests. With this new system, everybody that enters Tamriel can easily find their next adventure or help them finally 100% complete a zone.”
The DLC and update 21 are expected to launch on the live servers in February.
