14 DAY TRIAL // The Elder Scrolls Online is getting another piece of content today, Flames of Ambition. The new DLC introduces two epic dungeons but also brings a bucketload of free changes and improvements for PC players. For those wondering, The Flames of Ambition DLC will release on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on March 16, so in about a week from now.
Flames of Ambition is the first step in The Gates of Oblivion's year-long adventure and adds two new dungeons, the Cauldron and Black Drake Villa. While both dungeons are standalone stories in their own right, both also set up the events of the upcoming Blackwood Chapter and beyond.
Players can get the new DLC game pack via ESO Plus membership or purchase it for 1,500 crowns from the in-game Crown Store (listed under DLC). Once your ESO Plus membership lapses, you will no longer be able to access the DLC until you renew your membership or purchase it with crowns, but you won’t lose any items, Achievements, or other rewards you earned while you had access.
There's also the Flames of Ambition Collector’s Bundle, which is available for 4,000 crowns and includes access to the DLC game pack, the Falinesti’s Faithful Totem Elk mount, the Clearspring Striped Fawn pet, and five Crown Experience Scrolls. This one is available for purchase from the Featured section of the in-game Crown Store.
Besides the new DLC, The Elder Scrolls Online is also getting Update 29, a bundle of free changes and improvements, which includes a redesigned Champion System for high-level players, as well as lots of quality of life improvements.
The redesigned Champion System lets players better tailor their characters to their chosen playstyles using three updated constellation groups. The changes also introduce a champion bar, allowing players to slot up to four powerful passive boons for each constellation.
But that's not all, as Update 29 includes other improvements and fixes, including an updated character sheet that shows advanced stats. Players will now be able to better see how changes to their character (be it via Champion Points, abilities, gear, or attributes) impact their effectiveness.
