The Elder Scrolls: Blades Early Access Now Available for Everyone
The Elder Scrolls: Blades Early Access Now Available for Everyone-November 2024
Nov 27, 2024 2:48 AM

  The Elder Scrolls: Blades is still in early access, but that hasn't stopped the title from raking in the moolah. Until now, the title was only available to a select few with a Bethesda account. Starting today, it's open for all. Bethesda even released a new patch which brings the following changes:

  Weapons & Armor

  Enchantments: The Fortify Healing enchantment no longer applies to the Absorb Health enchantment.Dev Note: The healing power of this enchantment combination was unintended. A secondary enchantment should not quintuple the strength of a primary one, nor should the power of an enchantment setup surpass all other possibilities without question. This change restricts Fortify Healing to boosting the larger and less frequent sources of healing it's intended to: potions, food, and skills. Note that Fortify Healing has never applied to Health regeneration bonuses like the one provided by Healing Surge.Enchantments: The heavy weapons combat enchantment now deals bonus damage on blocking enemies instead of ignoring Block Rating.Dev Note: This enchantment was generally less effective than an un-resisted elemental damage enchantment, and could never provide more extra damage than what the target's Block Rating prevented. This change removes that bonus damage cap and powers up the enchantment.Enchantments: Fixed a bug that triggered Ravage Health, Stamina, and Magicka enchantments on shields when damage over time effects were blocked.Dev Note: This interaction was unintended. With this change, ravage enchantments on shields now only trigger when a physical attack or ability is blocked, just like elemental damage enchantments.Jobs

  Gems: In addition to existing rewards, daily and weekly Jobs now provide 2 and 5 Gems, respectively.Materials: Material collection Jobs now ask you to collect between 3 and 6 materials.Naming: Renamed the ‘Attack of the Enemies’ Job to ‘Attack of the Outlaws.’Quests
