Item Sets
- Defiler: Reduced the damage the Hunger deals to 6000 from 9999.
- Knight Slayer: This item set now deals 9% of an enemy player’s maximum health as Oblivion Damage, reduced from 10%.

- Warrior-Poet: This item set now has an additional 5-piece bonus of Max Health.
- War Maiden: This item set now has a 2-piece bonus of Spell Critical instead of Max Health.
Developer Comments:
Sets like War Maiden, Netch’s Touch, and Ysgramor’s Legacy are meant to be damage or healing focused by augmenting a particular element or skill line, so the 2-piece bonus of Max Health was out of place for this theme. We’ve updated them to have more appropriate 2-piece bonuses instead.

- Localized the remaining ESO Plus help menu entries in the French game client.

Quests

Animation
- Removed idle animations for Target Skeletons. They’re not even alive, after all.
General
- You can no longer increase your total Movement Speed bonus to more than 100% of your base Movement Speed.
Developer Comment:
This change should only affect builds that are stacking all the Movement Speed bonuses in the game, and should prevent some of the extreme movement those builds are able to do in situations like Battleground flag running. This also prevents instances where those builds could run faster on foot than via a mount.
Buffs and Debuffs
- Minor Toughness: Fixed an issue where reapplying this buff would cause you to lose health.
Nightblade
- Shadow
- Twisting Path (Path of Darkness morph): Increased the damage of this morph by approximately 11%.
Sorcerer
- Dark Magic
- Dark Exchange: Increased the cast time of this ability and its morphs to 1.2 seconds from 1 second.
Developer Comments:
Adding an additional .2 seconds to the cast time of these abilities reduces the amount of resources they can generate when cast quickly in succession, and grants enemies more time to interrupt them.
Weapon
- Two Handed
- Cleave: Increased the damage over time of this ability and its morphs by approximately 16%.
- Bow
- Heavy Attacks now automatically fire when they are fully charged.
Developer Comment:
Fully-charged Heavy Attacks will be more important with the resource changes coming in this update, so we want to make sure there are no gameplay barriers to using them.
Guild
- Mages Guild
- Radiant Magelight (Magelight morph):
- This morph no longer passively reduces your damage taken by sneak attacks. It continues to passively prevent the stun from sneak attacks.
- Reduced the cost of this morph by approximately 10%.
Developer Comments:
Due to the reduction of sneak attack damage against other player characters, it is no longer necessary for Radiant Magelight to reduce their damage further. This prevents situations where using a sneak attack would actually do less damage than a normal attack. We’ve reduced the cost on this morph to make it more attractive relative to Inner Light.
Dark Anchors
- Standing still while in combat with a Dark Anchor now causes an an extraplanar charge to gradually accumulate at your location. A charge that has built to critical levels explodes, damaging those who contributed to its growth and significantly reducing their health recovery.
Monster Abilities
- Watcher
- Doom-Truth's Gaze damage now scales with the Watcher's attributes instead of the target's.
- Shockwave will now be used even if targets cannot be knocked back.
- Silence no longer stops Watchers from attacking.
Master Writs
- Adjusted the drop rates for furnishing plans from Hlaalu Master Furnisher’s Documents and Hlaalu Journeyman Furnisher’s Documents to ensure each plan shows up roughly as often.
- For example, Redguard plans will be easier to find, while Wood Elf plans will repeat themselves less often.
Crafting Motifs
- Fixed an issue where Celestial Motif books purchased from the Crown Store had an incorrect requirement listed, stating that you needed Rank 10 in a crafting passive to read the book. This is not the case – the Crown Store version of the Motif can be learned by a character of any crafting rank.
General
- Grand Soul Gems are now simply known as Soul Gems.
- Fixed an issue where the names of Soul Gems found throughout the world would not match the item you received.
- Master and Maelstrom Weapon Enchantments no longer function if the item runs out of enchantment charges.
Harvesting
- Fixed an issue that caused heavy sacks to occasionally contain potency runes of a slightly higher or lower rank than intended.
Item Sets
- The following item sets now has a 2-piece bonus of Spell Critical instead of Max Health:
- Light Speaker
- Netch’s Touch
- Spider Cultist
- Ysgramor’s Birthright
Developer Comments:
These sets are meant to be damage or healing focused by augmenting a particular element or skill line, so the 2-piece bonus of Max Health was out of place for this theme. We’ve updated them to have more appropriate 2-piece bonuses instead.
- The following item sets now has a 2-piece bonus of Weapon Critical instead of Max Health:
- Strength of the Automaton
- Sword Dancer
- Burning Spellweave: Decreased the proc chance to 15% from 20%, and decreased the Spell Damage bonus to 525 from 600.
Developer Comments:
Burning Spellweave is currently one of the most dominant Magicka DPS sets in the game, which limits diversity in set gearing. We’ve slightly reduced the proc chance and Spell Damage it grants so it is more in-line with other Item Set options, and is only a more attractive option when you are using many Flame Damage attacks.
- Pirate Skeleton: This item set no longer procs if the damage you take is fully absorbed by a damage shield.
- Pirate Skeleton: Increased the proc chance to 8% from 5%.
Developer Comments:
We’ve increased the proc chance on this Item Set to make it more attractive for tanks, but have also added the restriction that it cannot proc on damage shields. This means you will need to take damage to your health in order to proc it, and cannot easily circumvent the Minor Defile penalty. It also adds more risk to utilizing this set as a damage shield user since you must first let your damage shields fall off.
PvP Merchants
- The "Offensive" and "Defensive" boxes of equipment that Elite Gear merchants sell now have a small chance to contain a purple-quality item instead of the usual blue-quality item.
Furnishings
- The “Redguard Cask, Sealed” furnishing now has appropriate collision on all sides.
- Added textures to the bottom of the “Boulder, Craggy Heap” furnishing.
- The "Argonian Drum, Ceremonial" furnishing can now be selected normally in the Housing Editor.
- Fixed an issue that caused held items to fly around you when you used a Mundus Stone furnishing.
- Adjusted the center point of the "Wood Elf Handfast Statue" so it's easier to pick up and move around.
- If you’ve already placed this in your home, it will be in a slightly different position and you may need to pick it up and reposition it.
Homes
- Fixed an issue that could cause you to be knocked through parts of certain homes.
General
- Fixed an issue where your game could crash after going through a loading screen while in combat.
Grouping Tool
- Fixed an issue where you could get teleported out of a dungeon after entering it when using the Grouping Tool.
- Fixed an issue where you would occasionally not receive your rewards for completing a random dungeon.
- Fixed an issue where you would occasionally see some status messages such as “Activity Completed” at the incorrect times.
Craglorn
- Howling Sepulcher's meta-achievement, Upper Craglorn Cave Delver, will now always award progress.
- If you have not received progress for this, simply defeat Akiirdal once again and you will receive proper credit.
General
- Chairs, benches and various other items you can sit on are now named “Seat” instead of “Sit”.
- Fixed an issue where the names for some homes would not appear on the purchasing screen.
Bank
- Fixed an issue where splitting a stack in the bank could sometimes incorrectly show a "Bank is full" error message.
Gamepad Mode
- Tooltips for collectibles will now show the collectible's category type.
