The Elder Scrolls Online allows players to explore the world of Tamriel however they choose. I started with a High Elf Nightblade in this playthrough and have recently completed the Aldmeri Dominion faction. But I still have much more to explore as my adventures continue through the lands of the Ebonheart Pact. This short exploration of Stonefalls will give an overview of the environments and some of the challenges players will encounter in the Ebonheart Pack’s first main area.
Elder Scrolls Online Devs Discuss Update 40’s Endless Archive Infinite Dungeon-like Experience and Its Future
13.10.2023 - 22:10 / wccftech.com
While The Elder Scrolls VI is still at least three-plus years away, Elder Scrolls Online continues to entertain franchise fans thanks to the continuous updates and expansions developed by ZeniMax Online Studios.
Over nine years after the original launch on PC, the game is about to receive its 40th update, which is poised to be particularly meaningful. To begin with, the update includes a new group finder tool that allows players to make a listing for virtually any kind of Elder Scrolls Online activity to find like-minded adventurers. This addition should be particularly useful for players who'd like to set up Trial groups without being in a large guild.
Update 40 also makes experience points and gold rewards consistent across the game's many quests. Crafters should be pretty happy, too: jewelry crafting and upgrading will finally be cheaper and more expensive than it has been since jewelry was introduced with the Summerset Chapter. Moreover, the new Grand Master Crafting Stations allow Grand Master Crafters to consolidate all of their attuned crafting stations in a single furnishing item, greatly improving the number of housing slots available for decorations.
However, the star of the show of this update is the Endless Archive. Earlier this year, ZeniMax Online Studios boss Matt Firor revealed that Elder Scrolls Online would move away from the usual quarterly DLC release format, choosing to swap the previous zone DLC scheduled for Q4 with a new system that could benefit the whole game.
The Endless Archive is the first example of this new development philosophy. It is a limitless dungeon-like activity where up to two players will be challenged to go as far as they can through Stages. The encounters will be randomly generated, ensuring no two runs will be identical.
Completing two Stages will pit players against a boss pulled from elsewhere in Elder Scrolls Online (out of a 60+ boss roster), including dungeons and Trials. Should the players be successful, they'll have completed a Cycle. After four successful Cycles, they'll have to fight a unique Endless Archive boss to complete an Arc. There's even optional side content available in the form of the so-called Portals of the Unknown, which are mini-challenges that provide extra rewards.
When they first get to the Endless Archive (which is a base game activity that requires no purchase), players will have three lives, called Threads of Fate, before the activity resets and they're forced to begin anew. Eventually, permanent buffs can be unlocked that increase the amount of lives available, for instance.
During the activity itself, players will also be able to obtain two powerful types of boons called Verses and Visions. Verses are temporary buffs you can select

The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall nearly destroyed Bethesda: "If you weren't putting in 60 hours minimum, your job was in danger"
The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall, released way back in 1996, was the second installment in what went on to become Bethesda’s beloved, genre-defining RPG series, but it sounds like it was a particularly tricky one to get off the launchpad - and that if it hadn’t come together it could have meant the end of the studio itself.
