ESO Console Release Delayed
Zenimax have broken the radio silence regarding the console release of ESO. At this point it shouldn’t be a big surprise that the ESO console release is delayed. A support post estimated the delay to be around 6 months.
Another interesting bit of information is that players who own the PC/Mac version of the game by the end of June will be able to get the console version for $20.
The price will include the full digital version of the game + 30 days of game time, as well as the ability to transfer your existing characters from PC/Mac to Xbox One/PS4.
PTS Changes: Hireling Alts made redundant
The latest PTS patch 1.1.1 notes are up. This patch includes a couple of changes which are worth mentioning.
First of all, the way Hireling mails work has been completely changed. You will no longer receive a chest in the mail, but the mail instead contains a random set of items relevant to the character’s crafting level. This means you can no longer use your alts to feed high tier mats to your main. If you want high tier materials on your alts, you need to level their crafting professions up.
Dark Anchors will also yield a reward chest for all participants. Up until this point you needed to deal enough damage to the dark anchor boss mob in order to get loot.
You can find all the other changes below.
Blessed Crucible Dungeon Guide
Blessed Crucible is the fifth 4-man group dungeon for the Ebonheart Pact in Elder Scrolls Online, and is located in the southeastern part of The Rift. Blessed Crucible features level 43 bosses.
Aldmeri Dominion and Daggerfall Covenant players gain access to Blessed Crucible after completing their own relevant group dungeons: Selene’s Web and Blackheart Haven.
This guide explains the boss fights of normal mode Blessed Crucible in detail, and provides strategies for defeating the bosses.
ESO Patch 1.0.7 Notes
ESO Patch 1.0.7 is live on the NA megaserver and will be applied to the EU server soon.
Patch 1.0.7 fixes Vampire abilities and tweaks the cost of in-game COD mail fees & guild store listing and tax prices.
The patch also includes a couple of quest bug fixes.
Useful Potions and Alchemy Reagents in ESO
Alchemy is a versatile profession because it allows the player to craft the same potion in multiple different ways. This is mostly visible for alchemy potions with two alchemy reagents.
Once you take advantage of the Laboratory Use passive and start mixing potions using three alchemy reagents, you start getting very interesting results, and there’s only so many ways to craft a single, highly useful potion.
Here’s a list of the most useful ESO alchemy potions in each category, and also an overview of alchemy reagents; which are useful, which are not.
