Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v3.2.0 and the Clockwork City where you can enter Sotha Sil's legendary creation and explore his mysterious mechanical world. In addition to new quests to enjoy, you’ll also come across two new world bosses and two delves, plus a new 12-player Trial: Asylum Sanctorium. We’ve also added 12 new item sets, two new Motifs, over 200 new furnishings, and a host of fun, new collectibles.
For players that own The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind, we’ve added a new Battleground game mode – Crazy King – where your team must seize a capture point location that jumps randomly around the map. It’s, well, crazy!
The base game update introduces the highly-anticipated Transmutation system which allows you to change the traits on your gear, including weapons and armors. We’ve also added a trait tracker that will allow you to see whether or not you've researched the unique trait on an item.
As always, we’ve supplied everyone with a character template that will let you access the Clockwork City immediately. We’ve also been working hard to improve our templates and what they offer, which is detailed below.
We can’t wait to hear what you think of this latest update, which is approximately 3.7GB in size. Please be sure to utilize the in-game /feedback or /bug features, or post in the official discussion threads on the forums. Thanks, and have fun!
Clockwork City
Venture to the bizarre realm of Sotha Sil, the Clockwork God and third member of the Dunmer Tribunal! The machine world is rife with frightening and alien dangers lurking beneath its metallic deserts and artificial trees, where only tiny pockets of citizens are able to carve out a quasi-religious society that values enlightenment and experimentation in emulation of its detached benefactor. A dark conspiracy threatens the integrity of the Clockwork City, and signs of a powerful Daedric relic manifesting within that realm draw all interested eyes toward Sotha Sil’s domain.
- To visit the Clockwork City, you can acquire the quest to take you there by accepting it from the Collectibles/Stories interface, or by visiting the Mages Guild in Mournhold.
- Additionally, the supplied Character Template will bring you directly to the questline to begin your Clockwork City journey.
The Brass Fortress
Going to the Clockwork City will eventually lead you to the Brass Fortress, the center of the city itself and the one place that the Clockwork Apostles, dedicated priests and inventors, work to improve their bodies and minds – sometimes with dubious “replacement” parts! Here, you can find the usual services and commodities.
- The Tarnished: Not everyone in the Clockwork City pledges themselves to Sotha Sil. He is a benevolent god, in his own way, and allows them to remain regardless of their lack of devotion. This sub-society of outcasts, transients, and vagabonds are known collectively as the Tarnished, and have made themselves a valuable part of the city even if the Apostles themselves do not always appreciate it. Razgurug, the “mayor” of these downtrodden folk, offers what recompense he can in exchange for assistance to support the society that the distant Apostles will not.
New World Bosses and Delves
The Clockwork City is a treacherous place with dangers both native and invasive.
- World Bosses
- The Sanctuary of Verification: Sotha Sil is a distant ruler, and his experiments are often left for hundreds of years at a time until a new idea occurs to him. In the case of the frightening war machine known as the Imperfect, the Clockwork God has set the storage facility itself to continually tweak and make improvements to the dangerous construct. For what purpose was it built, and even more chilling to ask, how many of them are there?
- The Exarchs’ Egress: An unknown Daedric force creeps through the shadows of the Clockwork City, bringing with it a new type of Daedric monster – the Wraith-of-Crows. Through a mysterious, remote gate, you can travel to the Daedric realm that houses these malignant monsters and battle a triumvirate of these creatures.
- Delves
- The Halls of Regulation: As an artificial environment, the Clockwork City requires breathable air, potable water, and the processing of waste. The Halls of Regulation do all of this, crewed by enigmatic automated machine-people known as Factotums located in the eastern half of Clockwork City. Unfortunately, the facility has broken down for reasons unknown. Have the Factotums malfunctioned, or is this a case of sabotage?
- The Shadow Cleft: Another dark artery winding its way into Clockwork City can be found in the Shadow Cleft toward the western half of the zone. Nightmare creatures and things that go bump in the night all lurk in this strange place, where several enterprising Clockwork Apostles disappeared attempting to discern its true masters.
- Repeatable Bounties: The Clockwork Facilitator and Novice Holli, both residing in the eastern portion of the Brass Fortress, each offer daily bounties to investigate and overcome dangers at these locations.
New Sites to Explore
Two full quest objectives exist in the wilderness of the Clockwork City for you to explore.
- The Everwound Wellspring: As most of the Clockwork City is made of metal, oil, or cables, finding a place to grow food in this artificial environment was a project of Sotha Sil’s that he regrettably abandoned some years ago. However, enterprising Apostles refurbished its facilities and begin to grow fresh food once again. It seems almost too good to be true, but the Lector in charge of the Wellspring goes so far as to invite apprentices to join him each year. Perhaps you can find yourself selected to be the next!
- The Mnemonic Planisphere: Being a god brings innumerable distractions, but Sotha Sil is clever and resourceful. To purge himself of unneeded memories and distractions, he constructed the Planisphere – a celestial orrery and observatory in which he could temporarily store unwanted dreams and thoughts. An enigmatic Astronomer maintains the place, with but a single assistant to aid in the process. With no defenses to speak of, the Planisphere would be in great danger should anyone seek to do irreparable harm to Sotha Sil’s stored memories.
New Trial: Asylum Sanctorium
Sotha Sil, always seeking knowledge, used three Dunmer saints in his earliest experiments into everlasting life. Using the power of Soul Gems, he created mechanical vessels for the saints and imprisoned their souls within. While the experiment was successful, the Saints were driven insane by the process. The Asylum Sanctorium was created to house the Saints so that they would not threaten the rest of the Clockwork City. The Saints have grown in power during their imprisonment and now threaten to break free of their prison. The time has come to end the threat they pose.
- Asylum Sanctorium is a 12-player Trial located within the Brass Fortress in Clockwork City.
- The Trial includes a normal and challenging Veteran version.
- There are all-new skill augmenting “Asylum” weapons (which you can read more about below) in the same fashion as Master and Maelstrom weapons.
- Unique Achievement rewards are available for completing this Trial, including:
- Unique skin
- Several Titles
- Unique housing items
Asylum and Perfect Asylum Weapons
Much as the Master's and Maelstrom's weapons before, the Asylum and Perfect Asylum weapons alter and improve the effect of one of your weapon skill line's abilities. Perfect Asylum weapons have the same benefit as the imperfect Asylum weapons, but at a greater magnitude. Perfect Asylum weapons are available only for those intrepid heroes who can conquer the hardest battle available in Asylum Sanctorium - St. Olms, and both of his allies, fighting alongside one another.
For a full list of the Asylum weapons, please see the New Item Sets section a bit further down.
Asylum Sanctorium Itemization
In Asylum Sanctorium, you can obtain rewards based on not only the Trial's difficulty (Normal or Veteran), but also on how many allies the boss, St. Olms, has with him.
- Defeating either St. Llothis or St. Felms on their lonesome will award you with a green-quality (Normal mode) or blue-quality (Veteran mode) armor item from one of the item sets in Clockwork City: Mad Tinkerer, Unfathomable Darkness, or Livewire. However, doing this means they cannot aid St. Olms in his fight against you, which lessens both the rewards, and the difficulty, of fighting him.
- Defeating St. Olms on his lonesome will award you with either a Blue-quality (Normal) or Purple-quality (Veteran) Asylum Weapon.
- In addition to the above, if you defeat St. Olms and one of his two allies in the same battle, you will receive a Blue-quality (Normal) or Purple-quality (Veteran) armor piece and jewelry piece from the Clockwork City item sets.
- If you defeat St. Olms with both of his allies in the same battle, on Normal mode, you will receive a blue-quality Asylum Weapon, two Blue-quality pieces of Clockwork City set armor, and a Purple-quality Clockwork City set jewelry piece.
- If you defeat St. Olms with both of his allies in the same battle, on Veteran mode - the hardest possible configuration of the Trial! - you will receive a Purple-quality Perfect Asylum weapon, more powerful than the imperfect Asylum weapons awarded in other configurations. You will also receive two Purple-quality pieces of Clockwork City set armor, and a Gold-quality Jewelry piece from those same sets. In addition, you will rarely receive a Runebox for the Clockwork Reliquary Polymorph.
- Placing on the Leaderboards for Asylum Sanctorium will award you with a single Gold-quality Perfect Asylum weapon.
- Once per week, completing Asylum Sanctorium on Veteran mode and fighting all three Saints at once will earn you a Radiance Resonator, worth 10,000g to a vendor. In addition, Undaunted Plunder drops from St. Olms (not the other Saints) on Veteran Mode only.
New Collectibles
We’ve added many new Collectibles that are available to earn from the Clockwork City area and content.
- Scintillant Dovah-Fly: This non-combat pet will join you when you first set foot in the Brass Fortress.
- Begone!: Obtain this Emote by completing the quest "Lost in the Gloam" in Clockwork City.
- Umbral Projector: This Memento is acquired by completing the achievement, the Hero of Clockwork City.
- Revolving Celestiodrome: This unique Furnishing is obtained by completing the quest "The Light of Knowledge" in Clockwork City.

- Sanctified Silver: This Skin is available from defeating St. Olms in Asylum Sanctorium with his allies in the same battle, on Veteran mode.
- Clockwork Curator: This Polymorph is rarely available as a Runebox, dropped from defeating St. Olms in Asylum Sanctorium with his allies in the same battle, on Veteran mode.
New Item Sets

New Target Dummy: The Precursor
Associate Zanon of the Clockwork Apostles is near to completing his study of Factotum construction, and has made a fascinating discovery in his research. After finding a discarded Factotum head in a junk pile, he was alarmed to discover that it could still speak! If you respond to Zanon’s posting on the board within the Brass Fortress, you may assist him in reassembling this unique construct and discovering its true purpose.
- This new Target Dummy item, the Precursor, can be obtained by finding all of the Precursor's parts throughout Clockwork City and reassembling it.
- Though only slightly more durable than a typical Public Dungeon boss, it dryly quips as you sharpen your blade upon it.
New Motifs
Two motifs have been added to Clockwork City:
- The Apostle Style, once known only to Sotha Sil's disciples, is now available for crafters! The Chapters for this style, and its Style Item, Polished Brass, can be obtained by completing certain Daily Quests in Clockwork City that aid the Brass Fortress and combat Clockwork foes.
- The Ebonshadow style, emblematic of Nocturnal, is also available for crafters! The Chapters for this style and its Style Item, Tenebrous Cord, can be obtained by completing certain Daily Quests in Clockwork City that aid the Blackfeather Court or pit you against shadowy foes.
New Furnishings
Over 200 new furnishings have been added to the game through various sources, many of which can be purchased through the Housing Editor or crafted. The associated recipes and additional furnishings can be found throughout Clockwork City, with sourcing including everything from Justice activities and monster drops, to various containers and merchants.
New Achievements
Clockwork City comes with over 40 new achievements to pursue, with 6 new titles to unlock!
MORROWIND
New Battleground Game Mode: Crazy King
Crazy King is a new game mode that is similar to Domination, but a bit more frantic…or crazy, if you will!
- The game begins with a single capture point in the middle of the map, then after a brief period of time, a second capture point is added. After a bit more time, that initial capture point in the center will move to another location on the map.
- This cycle of moving capture points continues for the rest of the match for a fast-moving game mode we hope you’ll enjoy!
HORNS OF THE REACH
New Motifs
Two motifs have been added to the Horns of the Reach DLC game pack, in conjunction with two new motif achievements.
- The Dreadhorn style is now available for crafters! The signature style of the invaders of Falkreath Hold can be learned from Chapters obtained by defeating Domihaus, the final boss of the Falkreath Hold dungeon. The Style Item, Minotaur Bezoar, can be obtained by defeating bosses in Falkreath Hold. The chance of obtaining Chapters and Style Items increases with the difficulty of the dungeon.
- The Bloodforge style is now available for crafters! Used by the denizens of Bloodroot Forge, the Chapters for this Motif can be obtained by defeating the Earthgore Amalgam. The Style Item, Bloodroot Flux, can be obtained by defeating bosses in Bloodroot Forge. The chance of obtaining Chapters and Style Items increases with the difficulty of the dungeon.
BASE GAME UPDATE
Transmutation
A new way of altering your equipment is available in this update. Transmutation allows you to permanently change the trait of an item to one of your choosing! The requirements to utilize Transmutation is as follows:
- Transmutation can only be done at a Transmute Station, which is a new service station found in the Brass Fortress.
- Home furnishing versions of these stations may also be purchased for Writ Vouchers from Rolis Hlaalu the Master Writ Merchant.
- Transmutation requires Transmute Crystals, precious resources occasionally received for successfully completing Veteran PvE activities such as Pledges, Trials, and Arenas, and several PvP sources such as Rewards for the Worthy, Battleground end of match rewards, and AvA end of campaign rewards. Transmute Crystals are an account wide, capped currency which cannot be banked or traded.
- Transmutation requires having previously researched the desired trait.
- Jewelry cannot be transmuted.
Trait Tracker
Along with the ability to change traits, equipment tooltips now have an icon next to the trait that communicates the trait’s status:
Can Research
Ornate
Intricate
Trait Changed
(no icon) No Trait/Researched
- Inventory views have a column dedicated to displaying this iconography.
- The Deconstruction screen will now group items based on trait status, such that items that you are more likely to deconstruct are sorted to the top.
- The Sell screen at Vendors will list Ornate items at the top.
- With the ability to more easily determine your own trait knowledge, and the ability to change traits depending on your trait knowledge, you should now enjoy easier management of your inventory and bank and greater control over the items you wield and wear.
Crafting Writ Turn-In Site Universalization
With the Clockwork City base game update, you may now turn in your Crafting Writs at any Writ turn-in site throughout the world, regardless of crafting rank.
New Houses
Two new homes are available to preview in this update. Both of these Notable Homes can hold 350 Traditional Furnishings (700 with ESO+), 5 Special Furnishings (10 with ESO+), 40 Collectible Furnishings (80 with ESO+), and 5 Special Collectibles (10 with ESO+), as well as up to 24 other players.
- The Orbservatory Prior: Located in the Clockwork City, Sotha Sil's designation of this mountaintop laboratory as the "Orbservatory Prior" clearly indicates that the site was an experimental or test version of what he had in mind-though whether he ever built an "Orbservatory Final" is unknown.
- Pariah's Pinnacle: Located in Wrothgar, the grand and majestic mountaintop retreat of Baloth Bloodtusk was sealed off in the First Era by King Joile, but its ancient Orcish halls were recently reopened by order of King Kurog.
Champion Point Increase
The Champion Point cap has been raised by a total of 30 points (10 in each red/blue/green constellation) for a total of 690 points. The Champion Point experience curve has been automatically adjusted with this new cap, so that earlier Champion Points require less experience and can be earned faster.
For this update, we’ve supplied one max-level template aptly named "Clockwork City". The Template will place you in Mournhold, in the City Center complex. Talk to Eldrasea Deras - who will be right in front of you - to start your quest to enter the Clockwork City. We’ve also begun a concerted effort to improve the quality of Character Templates used on the PTS:
- Your character will now have 690 Champion Points, the new Champion Point maximum.
- You will have far more skill points available to use.
- You will know all Traits for Blacksmithing, Clothing, and Woodworking. In addition, all Tradeskills will be at Rank 50.
- Warden characters made with this Character Template will have their skill lines properly maxed out.
- The Undaunted skill line will be at maximum rank (now 10).
- You'll start with a significant amount of gold, AP, Tel Var stones, Writ Vouchers, and the new Transmute Crystals.
- The loot that the character starts with will include boxes that contain the vast majority of item sets in the game including all Monster Masks, overland dropped sets, and dungeon dropped sets. This includes the item sets dropped in the new Clockwork City zone, as well.
- The template's starting items also include the new Asylum and Perfect Asylum weapons, ability-altering weapons that are otherwise only available in the new Asylum Sanctorium Trial.
- The Crafter's Limitless Library now includes the Motifs found everywhere in the game.
- Note that the Library can only provide so many Motifs at a go, so if the character doesn't know many Motifs, the Library may not be able to provide them all.
- You will start with knowledge of the 10 base Racial Motifs already learned.
- Known Issue: Characters made with the "Clockwork City" character template will not have Legerdemain unlocked or maxed out. This'll be fixed in the next PTS patch.
- We plan to continue improving Character Templates in future Updates. We'd love to hear your feedback on the improvements we've made so far, and to hear suggestions for things you'd like to see on Character Templates in the future.

Transmutation
- After running a dungeon or Trial with a group then attempting to change the trait on any item that is Bind on Pickup, but still has time remaining on the 2-hour trade timer, will cause your game to crash. For this PTS patch, please avoid attempting to change the traits of any item that is tradable until we have a fix in place.
- System Mails that should contain Retrait Crystals, such as mails congratulating you for placing on the Leaderboard, currently do not contain Retrait Crystals.
- Currently, only the first Geode in a stack of Geodes will award Crystals; subsequent ones will not award a Crystal. As a temporary work around, you can split your stacks into singles and then open them.
- Currently, doing a Veteran Random Dungeon will only rarely award you a Transmutation Geode.
- We'll be increasing this to always award a Transmutation Geode from a Veteran Random Dungeon in a future PTS patch.
Asylum Sanctorium Trial
- You may notice a significant client performance drop the first time St. Olms uses the Gust of Steam ability. This will be fixed in a future PTS patch.
Furnishings
[list][*]If you put an item with looping audio in your house and then put it away, the audio will remain audible until you leave.[*]You may discover that some new furnishings don’t quite work as expected or have missing icons. These issues will be resolved in a future PTS patch.
Battlegrounds
- Battleground queues are now divided into 10-49 and 50. This means you will only have level 50 players playing against other level 50 players.
- The level 50 Battleground queue is now CP-enabled.
- Capture the Relic interactions have changed! There is now a brief animation and interaction time in picking up Relics in the wild, or at home locations.
- Relics are still captured by moving near your home Relic with an enemy Relic.
- Added five new achievements relating to Battlegrounds.
General
- Boss music in Morrowind now plays more reliably.
Warden, Balance
- Animal Companions
- Deceptive Predator (Falcon’s Swiftness morph): This morph now increases the duration to 14 seconds, in addition to granting Minor Evasion.
Developer Comments:
This change helps compensate this morph with additional efficiency. Deceptive Predator’s Minor Evasion only gives 5% dodge chance, while Bird of Prey’s Minor Berserk gives 8% damage.
- Green Balance
- Nature’s Grasp: Increased the range of this ability and its morphs to 28 meters from 22 meters.
Developer Comments:
Increasing this to match the range of other heal abilities in the game makes it easier to use and target allies who are spread out.
- Bursting Vines (Nature’s Grasp morph): Increased the projectile speed for this morph by 100%, and increased the heal from this morph by 10%.
Developer Comments:
As this is a burst heal, we’ve significantly increased the travel speed to help it fulfill the role of saving a low-health ally. It heals for less than Rushed Ceremony, but has a cheaper cost.
- Winter’s Embrace
- Frozen Gate: This ability and its morphs now allow you to have up to 3 gates active at a time, up from 1. Its initial spawning visual effects are now visible to enemies.
Developer Comments:
Frozen Gate is meant as a flavorful analogue to Fiery Grip. Allowing multiple traps at a time lets you throw it down on several enemies at the same time, then have them all get pulled to you. Clever players can anticipate where enemies will be and put traps down even before they get there.
Warden, Fixes & Improvements
- Animal Companions
- Betty Netch: Reduced the intensity of the visual effects from this ability and its morphs.
- Blue Betty (Betty Netch morph): Fixed an issue where this morph was not removing a negative effect from you if you had more than one negative effect on you.
- Green Balance
- Fungal Growth: Fixed an issue where some of the visual effects of this ability and its morphs were not aligned with the actual location of the healing cone.
- Winter’s Embrace
- Frozen Gate: Fixed an issue where the visual effects of the Frozen Retreat synergy from this ability and its morphs would linger on your character for an extended period of time.
Delves
- The bosses of Pulk and Nchuleft now summon immediately for players who have not completed the relevant delve achievements.
Monsters
- After months of anticipation, Factotums in the maintenance junction have finally received the latest in chassis chic.
General
- Fixed an issue where dragging the item “Veya’s Axe of the Defiler” between storage locations could cause the icon to display incorrectly.
Furnishings
- Changed the name of the achievement furnishing "Telvanni Device, Static" to “Telvanni Device, Rotating”, and updated its corresponding furnishing tags to be more accurate.
- The achievement furnishing item "Tapestry, Morag Tong" now has an accurate icon.
Homes
- If you owned the Amaya Lake Lodge prior to the release of Update 15, the planter between your front steps is now a furnishing and can be moved.
Quests
[list][*]Echoes of a Fallen House: Fixed an issue where the final fight during this quest could break.
Dark Brotherhood
- Adjusted the Blade of Woe to further reduce the likelihood of becoming stuck in nearby objects when it is used.
Monster Abilities

Collectibles

Homes
- Hakkvild’s High Hall now correctly displays its map when prompted.
Fishing
- You will no longer occasionally receive fish associated with Cyrodiil when fishing in Imperial City.
Eidetic Memory
- The note "A Plea for Help" will now appear in the Temple of Ire if you missed it in the previous quest dungeon upon completing the quest "Blood on a King's Hands".
Quests
- A Cold Wind From the Mountain: Collecting the meat from the west is now slightly less difficult.
Animation
- The NPC Olyn Nolar will no longer mysteriously walk through cranes.
General
- You can no longer accidentally gain bounty in the Kvatch Arena.
