The Elder Scrolls: Blades has been updated to version 1.8 with new has implemented event quests, the Sigil Shop, changes and some bug fixes.

 

INTRODUCING EVENT QUESTS!

  • Take on limited-time Quests multiple times a week.
  • Counter each Event Quest’s unique properties. In ‘The Purifying Flames,’ for example, enemies are only vulnerable to fire damage while in ‘The Impenetrable Grove,‘ they act much more defensively.
  • Earn Sigils by completing Event Quests.
  • Spend Sigils on powerful items in the Sigil Shop, a new section of the Store.
  • Complete each Event Quest up to 5 times. Each Stage is harder than the last but rewards more Sigils!

COME TO THE SIGIL SHOP!

  • Arcane items are guaranteed to receive one or two bonus enchantments when enchanted.
  • Divine items offer high-level players the power of Dragon items with the look of earlier items, from Iron and Hide to Daedric.
  • Material bonuses on Divine armors and shields are as strong as those on Dragonscale items.
  • Buy tempered and enchanted gear, including Dragon and Divine items as powerful as can be.
  • Buy gold and materials, including Soul Gems and Firebreath Opals.
  • Nothing stays available forever but everything returns eventually, so keep an eye on the Sigil Shop!

  • Potions and poisons no longer take up inventory space, and up to 50 can now be stacked together.
  • In Arena mode only, blocking low now resets the high block refresh timer.
  • In Arena mode only, shield enchantments no longer take effect when an attack is blocked low.
  • Reduced the ranks at which most enemies use Power Attack abilities.

  • Opening the Quests Menu now takes you directly to the section with the newest or most important content.
  • Added, in the Quests Menu, a shortcut from any Quest or Job to the Character Menu.
