Who has no fear of beast or blade? UNDAUNTED! Earn bonus loot during the Undaunted Celebration, ESO’s PvE dungeon event!

Important note: We have made the decision to officially move the upcoming Undaunted Celebration event, and it will now begin December 3 at 10AM EST and run until December 15 at 10AM EST.



The Undaunted Celebration begins Thursday, December 3 at 10:00AM EST and runs until Tuesday, December 15 at 10:00AM EST. During this in-game event, you can earn bonus rewards and glory for completing any of Tamriel’s four-player dungeons.

To join the fight, use the Dungeon Finder tool or travel to any dungeon in Tamriel and complete it on Normal or Veteran difficulty—you choose!


When you defeat a dungeon’s final boss during this event, in addition to its regular rewards it also drops an Undaunted Reward Box. These celebrated containers can hold all kinds of useful and valuable loot, including Undaunted Keys, Undaunted Plunder (to sell for gold), motif pages, repair kits, transmute crystals, and more. If you’re not sure that you’re ready to tackle dungeons (or perhaps don’t have the time), you can also earn one Undaunted Reward Box a day by completing Bolgrul’s daily Undaunted delve quest. You can find Bolgrul within any Undaunted Enclave.

During the event period, the first time you complete a dungeon each day, you’ll receive a fancier, Glorious Undaunted Reward Box. This daily drop will include the same rewards as its less-famous cousin, but it’s also guaranteed to contain an Opal Weapon Style page for the following boss styles:

• NEW Iceheart (Direfrost Keep)
• NEW Lord Warden (Imperial City Prison)
• NEW Nightflame (Elden Hollow II)
• NEW Swarm Mother (Spindleclutch I)
• Ilambris (Crypt of Hearts I)
• Troll King (Blessed Crucible)
• Bloodspawn (Spindleclutch II)
• Engine Guardian (Darkshade Caverns II)

Don’t forget to loot the final boss!

However, that’s not all you can earn during this event. If you complete one of the above dungeons on Veteran Hard Mode difficulty, you also have a chance (just a chance) to earn an Opal Monster Mask style page for their respective bosses.


Earn new Opal weapon styles

Finally, if you own the original, “non-shiny” version of the shoulders already, you can purchase the Opal Monster Shoulder style pages for 50 Undaunted Keys from their respective Undaunted vendors. If you’re feeling lucky, they also sell Mystery Coffers for 25 Undaunted Keys that can drop a random Opal Monster Shoulder style page, too.
The first time you slay a final boss in a dungeon each day, you earn three Event Tickets (again don’t forget to loot your fallen foe). With these tickets, you can acquire the following event-specific collectibles and goods from the Impresario:

• All four Nascent Indrik Feathers
• Style pages for the new Opal Weapons, Masks, and Shoulders
• These are bound to your account
• Three Crimson Indrik Berries (Berries of Budding, Bloom, and Growth)
• The fourth Berry will be available in the upcoming New Life Festival
• Group Repair Kits

The Crimson Indrik is ESO’s final Indrik evolution, so don’t miss out on your chance to earn this majestic mount!


The striking Crimson Indrik

Gather your fellow adventurers and take the plunge into any one of Tamriel’s dungeons and you’ll earn bonus rewards. Whether you’re a rookie dungeon delver looking to take your first steps into these challenging group activities or a veteran hunting some of the game’s hardest Achievements, the Undaunted Celebration brings no shortage of glory and rewards for Tamriel’s adventurers. What dungeon are you going to run during this new event? Let us know via Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.

The Undaunted Celebration begins Thursday, December 3 at 10:00AM EST and runs until Tuesday, December 15 at 10:00AM EST. Part of our #TamrielTogether celebration, the Undaunted Celebration is the next event in a series of end-of-year events coming to The Elder Scrolls Online.

Read a letter from Matt Firor, ZOS’s Studio Director, on how we’re changing the way we support ESO on Macs moving forward.



As most Mac users know, last summer Apple announced that new Macs will no longer be built with Intel CPUs. Instead, new Macs will utilize a new custom-built ARM CPU going forward. The first of these devices was announced earlier this month at an Apple event.

Please be aware that these new ARM-based Macs cannot run software created for Intel-based computers. Additionally, these new machines will not support Boot Camp either, so you cannot dual boot an ARM-based Mac into Windows. This means that all software running on the new Macs must either be re-written for ARM or must run through an emulator. X86 emulation comes with a significant performance impact—in general, emulation is okay for software like office productivity apps, but not for gaming.

All of this puts a burden on software developers like ZOS to port their products to the new architecture. It is a huge undertaking to port a product as old, large, and complex as ESO to a new CPU, with no certain outcome of success. Because of these factors, we will not be porting ESO to run on the new ARM-based Macs. ESO will continue to run on Intel-based Macs, and we will support it as long as there is a large enough Mac user base to warrant it. While it will be technically possible to run ESO via x86 emulation on the new Macs, expect a subpar gaming experience that we will not officially support.

If you purchase a new ARM-based Mac, you will still have some options to play ESO. The most obvious one is that you can log into your account from any PC (or Intel-based Mac) and still be able to play with all of your account and character data. You also have the option of playing (with your current account and characters) on Stadia, a cloud-streaming service that uses the same servers as your current Mac-based accounts—so if you do use Stadia, you can continue to play uninterrupted with your existing account and character data.

Matt




If you have any questions regarding ESO running on Macs with Intel CPUs, please feel free to visit the Elder Scrolls Online Help Portal or contact the help team. 

Can ESO’s Creative Director complete Markarth’s solo arena on veteran difficulty? Tune in to ESO Live this week as we put our own Rich Lambert to the test!

Join us on https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda this Friday, November 13 at 4PM EST/9PM GMT, as ESO’s Creative Director Rich Lambert joins the ESO Community team for a no-holds-barred Veteran run of Vateshran Hollows. Markarth’s new solo arena is no small challenge, but don’t worry!

Should Rich complete the challenge without dying, we’ll even do a special giveaway, so get ready to cheer him on!

We’ll also discuss the latest ESO news during the show, and Twitch Drops will be active throughout, so don’t forget to link your accounts. We’ll see you for our Creative Director’s latest challenge on https://www.twitch.tv/bethesda this Friday, November 13 at 4PM EST/9PM GMT! 

For this weekend only, you can get double XP, resource node drops, and gold in any zone in Tamriel during the Explorer’s Celebration!

Kicking off this Thursday, November 12 at 10AM EST, and running until Monday, November 16 at 10AM EST, the limited-time Explorer’s Celebration grants you additional rewards for the following in-game activities:

• Double drops from harvest nodes (not fishing!)
• Double XP gains from every source
• This stacks with other XP boosts such as scrolls or group multipliers
• Double gold earned from monster kills, quest rewards, and similar sources

These bonuses are available to all players in any zone in Tamriel—including Markarth’s two new zones, the Reach and Arkthzand Caverns!

Note that the Explorer’s Celebration doesn’t grant Event Tickets and doesn’t have its own unique quests, Achievements, or collectibles associated with it. Additionally, the Impresario isn’t available during this limited period.

To sum up, the Explorer’s Celebration begins tomorrow and runs for this weekend only, so don’t miss out on your chance to get extra XP, gold, and resource node drops—have fun!

The Reach is under siege, and the dark forces of the Gray Host prey on the land’s beleaguered tribes from deep beneath the city of Markarth. In The Elder Scrolls Online: Markarth, you can explore two new zones, discover the proud tribes of Reachfolk, and conclude the year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure.

Explore the Reach & Arkthzand Caverns

For the first time in The Elder Scrolls Online, you can explore the unforgiving wilds of the Reach and the underworld beneath it. Filled with new stories, characters, and challenges, as you venture into this perilous part of Skyrim, you’ll encounter a people both stalwart and resilient, struggling to defend their home against the Gray Host.


Explore Markarth under Reach control

In addition to the Reach, you can also venture into the area of Blackreach known as the Arkthzand Caverns, the world beneath the city of Markarth. Filled with new quests, delves, world bosses, Harrowstorms, and more, these two zones will challenge even the strongest adventurers and doom those foolhardy enough to go it alone or unprepared. For more, check out our preview.

The Dark Heart of Skyrim Concludes

In the Markarth storyline, you’ll join forces with the local Reachfolk to confront the Gray Host. As you stand with the “Despot of Markarth” Ard Caddach and other Reach allies, you’ll unravel the terrible schemes of the Vampire Lord Rada al-Saran, and battle your way into the darkest depths of Blackreach to stop him.

While the Markarth storyline is a complete tale from start to finish, should you have already completed the Greymoor Chapter’s AND the Markarth DLC’s main storyline, you’ll unlock additional quests that bring the year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure to its final epic conclusion.

Vateshran Hollows Arena

Test your mettle and discover if you’re strong enough to call the Reach home in Vateshran Hollows, a new solo arena designed to push even Skyrim’s strongest warriors to the limits of their skill and courage. Within this new single-player challenge, you’ll have the opportunity to choose your paths as you enter three realms touched by Oblivion and defeat the dangers within.


Choose your path in Vateshran Hollows

Filled with challenging boss battles and no shortage of secrets, you’ll earn rewards and honors for completing this new arena, including special item sets, Achievements, and collectibles. Get ready to claim the title of Spiritblood Champion—glory awaits!

The Reach’s Bounty

As you explore both the Reach and the world beneath, you’ll uncover and earn rewards unique to the new zone and DLC, such as powerful item sets (three zone sets and three crafted sets), exclusive collectibles, and Achievements. It won’t be easy, but the bounty of the Reach is there for those strong enough to take it.


Earn all-new rewards in Markarth

The Markarth DLC game pack is free for all ESO Plus members and available for purchase for 2,000 crowns from the in-game Crown Store (listed under DLC). Note that if your ESO Plus membership lapses, you will lose access to the DLC until you renew or purchase the DLC with crowns. You won’t lose any items or rewards you earned while you had access.

In addition to the base DLC, the Markarth Collector’s Bundle is also available for 4,000 crowns. This includes access to the DLC game pack, the Chaurus Egg Chaser’s Horse mount, the Teacup Chaurus Chitterling pet, and Crown Experience Scrolls. You can find and purchase the Markarth Collector’s Bundle from the Featured section of the in-game Crown Store.


The Markarth Collector’s Bundle

With access to the Markarth DLC, you can venture into the wilds of the Reach by the following methods:

• By teleporting directly to the North Markarth wayshrine from your map
• By using the DLC tab of your Collections UI and accepting the “The Despot of Markarth” quest from the Zone DLC section

Once you’ve entered the Reach, you can explore the new zone, begin the DLC’s storyline, discover its many delves, world bosses, and Harrowstorm locations, or encounter any of the local Reachfolk—it’s up to you!

Finally, the first time you set foot in the Reach, you’ll receive the Arkthzand Anfractuosity Shroud completely free.


Get this unique hat when you first enter the Markarth DLC content

Releasing at the same time as the Markarth DLC game pack, the Update 28 base-game patch brings a host of new features and bug fixes for all ESO players, completely free.

Item Set Collection system

With Update 28, you can now add hundreds of ESO’s item sets to your Collections UI and reconstruct them at a cost of Transmutation Crystals from any Transmutation Station (such as the one found in Clockwork City). You can find your collected sets within your Collections UI under the new “Sets” section. This new system will allow you to free up much-needed inventory, bank, or coffer space since almost every set in Tamriel (with the exception of crafted ones) can now be safely “stored” in Collections.


Collect Tamriel’s item sets

Don’t go deconstructing everything yet! Check out our preview and FAQ for everything you need to know about this new system.

Crafting Writ UI improvements

Also included in this update are improvements to the way you complete Crafting Writs. With this patch, if you have any Crafting Writ “quests” relevant to a crafting station you’re currently using, it’ll display appropriate details, including what materials or selections need to be picked to complete the quest. No longer will you activate a crafting station only to discover that you’ve forgotten what you need to craft for your writs!

For everything coming as part of Update 28, check out the patch notes section on our official forums.
With the launch of the Markarth DLC, the year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure comes to its thrilling conclusion. Explore the perilous Reach, challenge yourself in Vateshran Hollows, confront the Gray Host, and uncover the dread secrets found beneath the stone city of Markarth—all of Skyrim hangs in the balance! Tell us if you’re planning to venture into Skyrim’s dark heart and conclude your year-long epic via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

The Dark Heart of Skyrim epic concludes with the Markarth DLC game pack and Update 28, now available for PC/Mac and Stadia* and arriving November 10 for Xbox One and PlayStation®4.

*Available only in limited territories.

• Use the Witchmother's Cauldron to transform your character into one of the undead.

  What are Grab Bags? These curious containers have a chance to contain a collectible from a previous Witches Festival event. When you open a Grab Bag, it will only ever contain items you don’t already own or know, and once you’ve acquired every possible item within them, they’ll no longer be available for purchase. Be sure to open each bag and remove its items as soon as you acquire it (to avoid duplicate items from subsequent bags).
  
  If you have acquired every collectible but still have Grab Bags to open, they’ll contain Group Repair Kits instead—useful! For this event, a Grab Bag can contain Hollowjack Motif pages, the Skeletal Marionette memento, Apple-bobbing Cauldron fragments, and the Spectre Mask collectibles.
