The Elder Scrolls: Blades Update 1.8 Preview

Bethesda’s free to play mobile action-RPG The Elder Scrolls: Blades will soon be getting a new content update, and as a result we can now check out this article on the official website that outlines the update’s new Event Quests feature and the Sigil Shop that’s going to accompany it. Check it out:

It’s been a busy few months for The Elder Scrolls: Blades. In May, Update 1.7 brought new quest content and the highly-anticipated Nintendo Switch release of the game, while the recent Update 1.7.1 added motion control functionality. In today’s Blades Town Hall we’re excited to share Event Quests, a new way to play Blades coming soon in our next update.

TAKE ON NEW CHALLENGES WITH EVENT QUESTS

Event Quests offer unique challenges to test your skills while earning loot and Sigils – mysterious artifacts that can be exchanged for exclusive rewards. The best part? Entry is completely free!

Event Quests are found in the Events tab of the Quest menu for any players who have reached at least Level 10. Different events rotate, each requiring special strategies and loadouts to conquer. For example, one Event Quest may feature enemies immune to physical attacks while in another, enemies only deal shock damage! The more challenging quests require some clever planning, but how you take on these challenges is completely up to you.

Each Event Quest can be completed up to five times but watch out – the difficulty cranks up each time you complete them! The starting difficulty is determined by player level but for the courageous, additional completions mean additional rewards!

EARN SPECIAL REWARDS WITH SIGILS

Each time you complete an event, you receive rewards such as materials, Gold, Gems and a special new prize: Sigils!

Sigils are traded in the all-new Sigil Shop, full of items and gear to help you on your adventure. In the Sigil Shop, you can purchase crafting and enchanting materials, enchanted weapons and all-new Arcane items, which guarantee a bonus enchantment or two!

These Arcane weapons, armor and jewelry are exclusive to the Sigil Shop, offering quite the incentive to venture out on Event Quests. Once you’ve cashed in your Sigils and enchanted your new gear, take it on your next job, into battle against other players in the Arena or to aid you on another Event Quest!

THAT’S NOT ALL!

While we’re particularly excited about Event Quests giving players a new way to enjoy Blades and earn rewards, Update 1.8 will also contain numerous fixes and improvements to enhance your experience. All of these will be detailed in our full patch notes when the Update goes live. Stay tuned so you can be among the first to download the Update, and we’ll see you in the next Blades Town Hall later this Summer, where we’ll preview some of the big things we have planned for Update 1.9!
