The Elder Scrolls Online Update Today on PS4 Is Over 5GB, Adds Imperial City DLC & so Much More

With The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited back online after some patch maintenance earlier today on PlayStation 4, ZeniMax has fully detailed update 1.07 today, which makes the game ready for the Imperial City DLC today, while also adding improvements and fixes to combat, gameplay, crafting, dungeons, quests, game performance, and more.

Sitting at 5.1GB, The Elder Scrolls Online update 1.07 on PS4 is available to everyone who owns the game, and Imperial City will download with it. Here’s how you unlock the new DLC:

Anyone who owns ESOTU and has an active ESO Plus membership will also automatically have access to the Imperial City DLC game pack. If your ESO Plus membership ends or lapses, you will no longer have access to the Imperial City DLC game pack content and areas, but you will still have any items you earned while you had access. If you do not have an active ESO Plus membership you can purchase the DLC game pack for 2,500 crowns via the in-game Crown Store.

Cyrodiil Reward Improvements

Eleven existing Item Sets have been expanded and made more available in Cyrodiil, and we’ve also improved the loot you receive at the end of a Campaign.

• The Rewards for the Worthy can now potentially include items from a wide variety of existing item sets, and will include every level and Veteran Rank so they can be enjoyed by anyone of any level.
• We’ve significantly increased the amount of gold you get from end-of-campaign mails and from Leaderboard mails.
• If you are a part of the winning Alliance and have earned a significant amount of AP during the Campaign, you will also be awarded with a bevy of loot, similar to the Leaderboard mails but of a lesser quality: These items will always be from one of the item sets found in the Rewards for the Worthy or Leaderboard mails.
• All end-of-campaign mails now include a number of Keep Wall Masonry Repair Kits: If your Alliance was in first place, you’ll receive 20 kits; If your Alliance was in second place, you’ll receive 10 kits; If your Alliance was in third place, you’ll receive 5 kits.
• Removed the Top 5% Leaderboard Campaign rewards.

Itemization Updates

Three new item sets (Agility, Endurance, and Willpower) have been made widely available through all Dungeons and in the Imperial City.

• These simple sets provide only stat bonuses at two and three pieces worn, and are made up of only weapons, shields, rings, and necklaces.
• These items can sometimes be found by killing the final bosses in any Dungeon, and can also be found in the warded chests of the Imperial City.

Veteran Rank Updates

The maximum attainable Veteran Rank has been increased to VR16. In addition, we’ve made some adjustments so you can progress through Veteran Ranks more rapidly:

• 15% decrease in the amount of XP it takes to gain a Veteran Rank
• 100% more XP for all public dungeons
• 50% more XP for all Veteran Rank quests
• 20% more XP in Craglorn

Dungeon Scaling

Every Dungeon now scales up to Veteran Rank 16 which will allow items, such as Monster Masks, to drop at the highest achievable level.

Inventory Upgrades

We’ve added three ranks of bag upgrades, bringing the maximum possible inventory size up to 200 (this includes your Riding Capacity skill). These new bag upgrades can be purchased at any bag vendor with a gold cost that follows the existing pattern for bag upgrades.

Battle-leveling for Veteran Ranks

Player characters of Veteran Rank 1-13 will now be battle-leveled to VR14 in Cyrodiil if you have the battle leveling option toggled on in the Options menu. Previously, battle-leveling only applied up to level 50.
