According to Matt Firor, additional content development of The Elder Scrolls Online is gear up to continue until at least 2020.^[2] ^[3]

Setting

Main article: Vestige

The game is set on Tamriel in 2E 582 during the Interregnum, a catamenia of time betwixt the bump-off of the last Potentate, Savirien-Chorak, and the rise of Tiber Septim, where there was anarchy, mortality, and no Emperor on the Ruby Throne.^[4]

Several years prior, the Cyrodilic Emperor Varen Aquilarios desired to become Dragonborn in club to light the Dragonfires in the Majestic City, thus legitimizing his merits to the Ruby Throne. The magician Mannimarco was able to convince him that he knew a ritual that could attain this, but that it required the Amulet of Kings. Forth with the leader of the Dragonguard Sai Sahan, the one-half-giant Lyris Titanborn and the High Chancellor of the Elder Council, Abnur Tharn, they became the Five Companions. They were able to retrieve the Amulet of Kings and begin the ritual in 2E 578. At that moment when the ritual began, Mannimarco used his dark magic to immobilize the others and reveal his truthful intentions: he was an agent of Molag Bal, and the ritual in fact destroyed the barriers between Nirn and Oblivion in an effect known as the Soulburst. This event immune Molag Bal to initiate the Planemeld, a forceful merging of worlds. One time the ritual was completed, aftershocks were swept across every corner of Nirn. Mages died or went mad, Red Mountain trembled in Morrowind, earthquakes shook Skyrim, and heavy storms devastated the coastlines of Elsweyr and Valenwood. The constellation of the Serpent grew then big that it seemed to threaten every star sign at once.

The Tharn family, rulers of Cyrodiil through Empress Regent Clivia Tharn,^[v] made a pact with Mannimarco, the King of Worms, who agreed to supplement the Royal'southward forces past resurrecting their soldiers, except for Clivia's father Abnur, who opposes Mannimarco.^[6] Molag Bal is harvesting the souls of mortals for more power. The hero, known every bit the Vestige, is an adventurer whose soul has been taken, which allows them to constantly return to life. The Vestige is killed by Mannimarco in a sacrificial ritual and they are brought to Coldharbour, where they awaken to find a mysterious man known as the Prophet, who, with the aid of Lyris Titanborn, helps the Vestige escape Coldharbour, freeing the Prophet, just likewise imprisoning Lyris within Coldharbour. In one case the Vestige escapes Coldharbour, they awaken in Tamriel and are let loose upon the dangerous world.

Alliances

In the game, at that place are three major playable factions fighting against one another in the disharmonize known as the Alliance War. Those factions, made up of the different races found throughout Tamriel, are the Aldmeri Dominion, the Daggerfall Covenant, and the Ebonheart Pact.

Other factions

Other factions in the game include:

Fighters Gild: A guild of mercenaries-for-rent, largely involved with destroying Molag Bal'south presence on Nirn. They are led by Sees-All-Colors.^[6] ^[11] ^[12] ^[13] ^[14] ^[xv]
Mages Society: A guild of individuals devoted to the magical arts, largely involved with collecting old books and lore in order to preserve them. They are led by their founder Vanus Galerion.^[half-dozen] ^[xi] ^[12] ^[fifteen] ^[fourteen]
Undaunted: A dauntless collective of like-minded mercenaries and adventurers who seek to attain riches and celebrity, and do not accept any sort of leader. They are involved with dungeons.
Thieves Lodge: A shady band of thieves, smugglers and other ne'er-do-wells, seeking riches and hoping to regain their former celebrity.
Dark Alliance: A highly feared brotherhood of assassins, responsible for the deaths of many nobles, priests, kings, and all those subject to the expletive of the Blackness Sacrament. Their members alive in the hidden Sanctuaries scattered across Tamriel - no-one knows their locations but the assassins themselves.
Psijic Lodge: Aboriginal and mysterious scholars, it is said the Psijic Gild were the starting time in Tamriel to study the secrets of Mysticism, or the "Quondam Means." This study has allowed the Order to develop knowledge and ability not plant anywhere else in Tamriel, and there are rumors that they accept obtained the ability to manipulate the flow of time itself.^[16]

Exploration

For a full list of locations, meet Locations (Online).

The Elder Scrolls Online spans across all of the continent of Tamriel. From the dry desert wastes of Hammerfell to the tropical jungles of Valenwood, a huge variety of environs can exist explored.

All of the provinces of Tamriel are explorable to a fairly big degree. Cyrodiil is accessible once the graphic symbol reaches level 10. The night realm of Coldharbour is accessible once the Vestige completes The Weight of 3 Crowns.^[6] However, near provinces are only able to exist traveled to in a limited capacity. In fact, the only provinces explorable in their entireties are Valenwood and High Rock. Over fourth dimension, new areas will be released to the game through DLC.

Each zone is roughly 3 square kilometers in size and Cyrodiil is 27 square kilometers in size, and there are over twenty zones, meaning the explorable game world in Online is significantly larger than the previous 3 installments in the franchise.

Prior to the "One Tamriel" update in 2016, exploration throughout the game's zones was restricted based on your level—zones were not locked (with the exception of DLC areas), simply if you lot ventured to areas across your level, they would become difficult to the point of impossibility. Even so, this inverse with the I Tamriel update, meaning you tin explore whatsoever zone yous want to regardless of your level. Level scaling was introduced, and so that the whole game world has one linear difficulty for all players, like to the other games in The Elder Scrolls franchise.

Traveling

The game world can be explored past pes or by mount. There are a multifariousness of mounts that can be ridden—horses, wolves, bears, guar and senche. All start out with the same base stats just mounts tin can be trained to become faster, have more stamina and to be able to increase the player graphic symbol's inventory capacity. They can be fed one of three types of food per day to train their attributes or training books tin besides be bought from the Crown Store and used at will.

Fast traveling is besides bachelor. Instead of fast travel in the previous games, where one could fast travel to any location, players must travel via wayshrines. You can teleport to a wayshrine when using another wayshrine to teleport for gratis, or you can travel to the wayshrine from the wild, but y'all must pay a sum of gold if it is done in this fashion.

Fast travel in Cyrodiil is dissimilar from the balance of the zones. Instead of wayshrines, characters tin travel to keeps and outposts that their alliance controls via the Transitus network. Players can not fast travel to anywhere without using a Transitus shrine at a keep or alliance base camp, nor can players travel directly to resource. To fast-travel to another keep using the Transitus, that proceed must be linked to the proceed the player is traveling from - for instance, if Blue Route Proceed is endemic by the Pact but Chalman Keep and Drakelowe Keep are owned by the Covenant, Pact players cannot travel to Blue Road Proceed via Transitus.

Classes and builds

Main article: Classes (Online)

There are 6 classes,^[half-dozen] including Dragonknight, Templar,^[17] Sorcerer, Nightblade, Warden, Necromancer.^[eighteen] Classes only give players three exclusive skill lines, and exercise not touch a graphic symbol's other choices. For example, you can be a stealthy Sorcerer who wears heavy armor and wields a bow, although some combinations of skills may non be conducive to achieving success in high-difficulty gameplay environments.
Any class tin play whatsoever of the three main roles (harm dealing, tanking, healing) finer, but some classes practise certain roles better than others. For example, a Templar is typically ameliorate at healing than a Sorcerer, and a Dragonknight is usually ameliorate at tanking than a Nightblade.
The Elder Scrolls Online is extremely flexible in how you can build your character, allowing a player to build their platonic skill fix from the outset with few restrictions to dictate what you cull. Character setups, universally known as "builds", are typically divided into 2 categories—magicka builds and stamina builds. As their names imply, if a character uses magicka in combat significantly more stamina, then they are using a magicka build, and vice versa. Characters with magicka builds usually apply low-cal armor and magic while characters with stamina builds are often seen using medium armor and weapons like bows and 2-handed swords. Hybrid builds can likewise be used, but they are non as effective at dealing damage equally a purely magicka or purely stamina (or merely "pure") builds. Hybrid builds normally utilize heavy armor and are unremarkably seen playing equally tanks. Any graphic symbol can play whatever role efficiently, withal some builds and classes may fulfill these roles better than others.

Gainsay and gameplay

Main article: Combat (Online)

Combat is reminiscent of the previous games in the franchise, and is activeness-based. In that location are light attacks, heavy attacks, blocking, bashing, dodging, sneaking and using spells and abilities. There are no car-attacks or "random" mechanics in combat as seen in a typical MMORPG — everything must be done manually.
Abilities are unlocked by spending Skill Points. Skill points tin can be earned from main storyline quests, earning skyshards, ranking up in PvP, and increasing your character level. All abilities are divided into skill lines, and each skill line has its own level. The level of a skill line is increased by using abilities belonging to that skill line - the more abilities from a particular skill line you lot use, the faster the skill line will level up. Every bit you increase the level of a skill line yous volition unlock more abilities and passive abilities to spend skill points on.
Some skill copse level up in a special manner. For example, the Soul Magic skill line simply levels up by completing quests in the chief quest, the Assault and Support skill lines only level upward by increasing your brotherhood rank, and your racial skill tree is tied to your character level.
Six abilities tin be slotted on your ability bar at any one fourth dimension. The sixth slot is reserved for a very powerful power chosen an Ultimate Ability, which can merely exist used after acquiring a certain amount of a resources called Ultimate Points. Ultimate Abilities take varying costs. Ultimate Points are earned by simply attacking enemies.
At Level 15, Weapon Swapping is unlocked which allows a player to have two different types of weapons equipped at the same time. The player tin switch between their weapons at any time by pressing the corresponding keybind for Weapon Swapping, and will as well unlock a 2nd hotbar for use with the secondary weapon. This is non to exist confused with dual wielding—with Weapon Swapping, you can take 2 dissimilar weapons. For example, a bow and a staff equipped at a fourth dimension, just you lot cannot utilize them at the same fourth dimension, unlike dual wielding.
Once an ability reaches level Four, information technology tin exist morphed, which ways the spell turns into a more than powerful version of itself, unremarkably calculation a new outcome to the spell. Players have ii morph choices, and every ability, including ultimate abilities, has a morph. Passive abilities cannot be morphed, though they tin can be leveled upwards by putting skill points into them.
There are a total of eight ranks for increased ability proficiency, but the latter 4 tin only be earned subsequently a morph.
Yous tin can reset your skill points at the Shrine to Stuhn in Mournhold or the Shrines of Stendarr in Wayrest and Elden Root, but it costs a hefty sum of gold.

Racial

There are passives exclusive for all 9* races in the game. Some races share the aforementioned passive bonuses, while some exercise non.

Craft

There are passives for each of the crafting professions: Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Wearable, Enchanting, Provisioning and Woodworking. Putting skill points into the height passives in the tree volition give the player the ability to craft increasingly powerful weapons and armor the more skill points are put into the passive, which is tied to your level in a particular crafting profession. For example, you can put a skill point into the second tier of Metalworking in the Blacksmithing skill tree at Blacksmithing Level x, which will requite you the ability to use steel ingots, and the adjacent tier volition be unlocked at Level 20 which will requite you the ability to use orichalcum ingots, so on.

*There are 10 races in the game if 1 purchases the Imperial Edition. Imperials have their ain racial passives every bit well.

Grapheme stats and progression

At that place are three primary stats:

Wellness – Affects amount of damage that can be taken before dying.
Magicka – Amount of magicka available to bandage spells.
Stamina – Amount of stamina available for things like stamina abilities, blocking, bashing, sneaking and dodging.

And six secondary stats:

Armor – Affects how much physical damage from non-magical abilities tin can be mitigated by the player, up to a maximum of 50% mitigation.
Spell Resistance – Affects how much spell damage from magical abilities can be mitigated, up to a maximum of l% mitigation.
Weapon Damage – Affects how much harm the actor's weapons and non-magical abilities bargain.
Spell Damage – Affects how much impairment the player's spells bargain.
Weapon Disquisitional – Affects the chances of a disquisitional strike with a actor graphic symbol's weapons and non-magical abilities.
Spell Disquisitional – Affects the chances of a critical strike with a role player graphic symbol'south spells.

As your graphic symbol levels up, they volition be given i point to place in the health, magicka, or stamina stats, like to the system in Skyrim. Secondary Stats can exist affected by numerous factors, such every bit armor traits, enchantments, buffs and Mundus stone – which are used to give special passive abilities, similar to the standing stones found in {Skyrim and accept the same names, but they give different boons.

A maximum of 64 points can exist earned to put into your primary attributes. Players can change how their attribute points are distributed by visiting a shrine of Akatosh, Auri-El or Kyne in your faction'due south upper-case letter city (Wayrest, Elden Root and Mournhold, respectively) and paying a sum of gold, or purchasing an Attribute Respecification Whorl from the Crown Shop for 700 Crowns.

Levels

The game has 50 levels that are attained past earning XP from questing, exploring, killing enemies, PvP and almost all other activities.

Prior to the Dark Brotherhood update on May 31st 2016, after a player graphic symbol has reached Level 50, they unlocked Veteran Ranks. Veteran Ranks were used to progress in all content later Level l, such as Craglorn, and they acted just similar normal levels—XP was earned to increase them just like normal levels, and in that location were 16 Veteran Ranks in total.

When the Dark Brotherhood update launched, Veteran Ranks were removed entirely and the maximum level was set at 50, with character progression now based on Champion Points (see below).

Champion Points

Once the player's commencement character reaches level 50, they will unlock Champion Points, which can be spent across 3 constellations - Warrior, Mage and Thief, with each having a certain "theme" - Warrior passives are based around reducing the harm you have and protecting your graphic symbol, Thief passives are based around reducing how much stamina/magicka you employ and how fast ones resource recharge, and Mage passives are based around increasing your harm output.

Each constellation has iii separate trees, with viii passive abilities in each. Four of these passives can be leveled upwards past Champion Points, up to a maximum of 100 per passive, and the other four are unlocked depending on how much points take been spent in the sub-constellation e.m. x points, 30 points, and the 4th is unlocked later on 120 points. The system is similar to Skyrim'due south skill trees.

Champion Points are shared across all characters on a role player's account - i.due east. if your principal character has 200 Champion Points, any new characters you make volition have 200 Champion Points besides which can be spent at whatsoever level, not but fifty. Nevertheless, any boosted Champion Points you earn on your chief character volition not carry over to your new character.

The maximum number of Champion Points you can spend is 167 points per tree, with this number changing with sure updates. Some post-level 50 equipment is locked based on your number of Champion Points, upward to 160.

Actor vs. Player (PvP)

Role player vs. Player gainsay is bachelor after level ten.^[nineteen] In Cyrodiil, the Brotherhood State of war revolves around the capturing of keeps, their surrounding supply lines, and outposts. If a keep isn't defended well (which is unlikely – in that location are usually players defending their faction's keeps everywhere in Cyrodiil) a keep tin be taken by a small group of players. If it is heavily defended, a much larger force with more siege weapons and a lot of co-ordination is required. Sometimes, individual battles tin final for hours.

Campaigns

Hundreds of players from all three factions can be in Cyrodiil (Which is roughly 27 square kilometers in size, not including the many areas such as dungeons, Ayleid ruins, houses, caves etc.) at a time per campaign, a kind of "sub-server" to mitigate overpopulation. There are several different campaigns on each platform. You tin can bring together ii campaigns at once – one domicile campaign and one guest campaign. A guest campaign is ordinarily for when there is a long queue for your home campaign or if you lot wish to play with a friend who is in the invitee campaign, merely you cannot increase your leaderboard ranking while in a invitee entrada – you may only increase your leaderboard ranking in your home campaign.

Each campaign has a duration, e.g. thirty days for Entrada A, 2 weeks for Campaign B, and so on. Once the duration is upward, the faction leaderboards reset and whatever faction was at the top of the leaderboards wins the campaign, and the winners receive a large sum of gilded.^{confirmation needed} The runners-up will as well receive a smaller amount of gilded, and this advantage is increased based on your contribution to the campaign which is determined past your reward tier, which goes up to Level 3 and is increased the more you lot PvP. Once the campaign resets, keep and Elder Whorl ownership does not change , the only affair that happens is a reset of the faction and thespian leaderboards, and the war resumes in one case once again.

Some campaigns take certain rules – e.thou. in some campaigns Champion Point bonuses are disabled.

Siege Weapons

Siege Weapons such as ballistae and catapults are used to assault and defend keeps in Cyrodiil. Each siege weapon is suited to a item office in PvP gainsay e.yard. trebuchets are for destroying structures, ballistas are used to take out enemy siege weapons, and so on. Siege weapons can be purchased for a varying amount of Alliance Points, the PvP currency, from quartermasters in keeps, and at that place are 5 types of siege weapons – flaming oil, battering rams, ballistae, catapults and trebuchets. ballistae, catapults and trebuchets each have variations with special effects, such as burn down trebuchets and scattershot catapults which give enemy players various damaging effects depending on what sort of siege weapon they were hitting with. Burn-based siege weapons are very powerful and are capable of breaking up big groups.

Alliance Ranks

Alliance Ranks are an alternative advancement organization, with 50 ranks. Each rank will give a new title, a skill point, sometimes a new armor dye and a new alliance icon on a player'south name tag, similar to faction ranks in Morrowind and Oblivion. They take a very long time to earn, and One thousand Warlord is the highest alliance rank available. Increasing your alliance rank volition too increment your Set on and Support skill lines and will allow yous to unlock new abilities such as Magicka Detonation and Vigor. Alliance Ranks are similar to combat ranks found in the multiplayer components of various offset-person shooter games.

Emperorship

You are able to become the Emperor of Cyrodiil. To crown an Emperor, your faction must be in command of the half dozen keeps surrounding the Royal City (Chalman, Blue Road, Alessia, Roebeck, Ash and Aleswell) simultaneously. Once this is done, the actor at the top of your alliance'due south leaderboards volition get the Emperor. The Emperor receives a variety of extremely powerful bonuses and if your alliance has crowned an Emperor, everyone in your brotherhood will receive +2500 extra health as long as the Emperor reigns. The Emperor volition also become a title and a special ready of corrective armor.

Emperors are deposed once their respective faction loses control of all vi keeps - still, belongings on to even 1 proceed is enough to retain their status if they accept already been crowned, simply if that 1 keep is lost the 6 "Imperial Keeps" must be reclaimed one time again to crown an Emperor once again.

Player vs. Environs (PvE)

Player vs. Environment (PvE) is whatever class of content that isn't contesting other players.

The game has hundreds of quests that can be completed, each with their own plot, characters and gameplay. All characters in the game are fully voice acted and each has their own groundwork and stories to tell, explorable through optional dialogue. Virtually quests are office of a concatenation, such as the Dark Brotherhood storyline, and there are many "miscellaneous" quests too.
The game has over 150 dungeons that may exist completed, nearly of which are solo dungeons or "delves". There are also special types of dungeons called group dungeons, which, unlike other dungeons, are instanced to groups of 4 and are much larger than typical delves. Once Level 50 is reached, harder versions of the dungeon will exist available, known every bit veteran dungeons.
Adventure Zones are zones of content tailored to 4 or more players ranked level 50 and can be entered solo, with a minor grouping, or even a large group. Craglorn is the first and just Adventure Zone in the game. They are essentially very big public dungeons, and include trials, dungeons, quests, storylines, world bosses, and other world events. Murkmire was originally planned to be an take a chance zone, simply was ultimately released as a normal DLC region.
Daedric artifacts such as the Wabbajack exist in the game, but the artifacts are very different from past games and are not obtained through Daedric quests.^[15]

Players are able to own a pet. I tin summon and sometimes control combat pets every bit well, particularly Sorcerers and Wardens. The scuttler is a pet given to players who pre-ordered the game, the Nibenay Mudcrab is a pet given to players who purchase the Majestic Edition, and the Imgakin monkey is a at present-unobtainable pet given to players who participated in the game's beta.
Lockpicking works much like in Oblivion where the role player must movement tumblers to unlock locks. The twist is that the player must unlock the lock in the allotted time. At that place are leveled locks much similar past games.
Players are able to dye their armor to different colors with over 250 colors. There are a few default dyes, only the player must obtain the remainder through completing sure tasks through achievements. There are three different areas of each piece of armor that can be dyed individually.
The game is hosted on a megaserver, which will allow players to notice players more easily, without requiring them to reset to a different server. Still, to enter Cyrodiil PvP, players must select from different "sub-servers" called Campaigns. There are currently ii megaservers on each platform, 1 for each region (Due north America and Europe), however, panel players cannot play with PC/Mac players.
