The Elder Scrolls Online: Dive into the world of Update 40
Hey, avid gamer! Have you heard the news? The Elder Scrolls Online is bringing Update 40 soon, and we have exclusive insights for you. With this update, two exciting additions will become part of the base game patch. And the best part? They're free for all players!
We spoke with two members of the development team responsible for the upcoming Group Finder tool and the Grandmaster Crafting Stations. Let's take a closer look at these new features.
Group Finder Tool
"Group content can be difficult to crack if you don't have a social circle or are just getting started," says Bobby Weir, ESO's lead UI designer. "We wanted to create a tool that bridges this gap and makes it easier for people to meet others with similar goals. This is especially true for content that requires a group but doesn't have an easy way to find one."
With the new Group Finder Tool, quick entry into various activities in ESO is made possible. From trial or dungeon runs to world boss zone tours and social events like roleplaying or fashion contests. To learn more about this tool, you can find additional information here.
Master Crafting Stations
The customizable crafting stations have been a hit with Tamriel's master crafters since their introduction in 2017. But over time, so many new sets have been added that the space requirement has skyrocketed. Enter Update 40!
"Master Crafting Stations build upon our existing customizable crafting stations and help solve a fundamental problem with how they expand over time," explains Senior Systems Designer Cullen Lee.
With Update 40, you can transform your own customizable crafting stations into Master Crafting Stations. These new stations not only look different from the regular customizable ones, but they also require significant resources and the accolade of "Unsurpassed Crafter".
The new features of The Elder Scrolls Online Update 40 will be a great addition to the ESO community. So mark your calendars for October 30th for PC/Mac and November 14th for Xbox and PlayStation consoles and get ready to experience these exciting updates!
