The Arcanist Class
The highlight of the Necrom Chapter is undoubtedly the introduction of a new playable class: the Arcanist. This powerful class will allow players to wield ancient magic, channeling the arcane forces that govern Tamriel's destiny.
- Become empowered by the secrets of Apocrypha and the forbidden knowledge of Hermaeus Mora.
- Channel destructive, restorative, or defensive magic using ancient runes and lost tomes of power.
As with any new class, the Arcanist will be designed to fit into one of three traditional roles: DPS (damage per second), Tank (absorbing damage), or Healer. Whether you're a seasoned player looking for a fresh challenge or a newcomer eager to join the fray, the Arcanist promises to shake up the meta and redefine the way players approach combat in ESO.
New Zones
The Necrom Chapter will take players on a journey to two new zones:
- Telvanni Peninsula: a previously unexplored region of Tamriel, home to the city of Necrom and towering mushrooms, rocky spires, and expansive catacombs.
- Apocrypha: the realm of Hermaeus Mora, where you'll behold the Forbidden Books of the Endless Library and the mind-bending wonder of Chroma Incognito.
New Story Content
The Necrom Chapter will also introduce new story content, as players take on the role of an unlikely ally to Hermaeus Mora. As the Prince of Fate holds secrets too dangerous for mortals or daedra to comprehend, you'll embark on a journey to uncover hidden yet turbulent powers that threaten his realm and potentially unravel all of reality.
Two New Companions
Two new companions will join the cast in the Necrom Chapter:
- Argonian Warden, Sharp-As-Night
- Redguard Arcanist, Azander
These companions will offer unique abilities and storylines to explore, further enriching the ESO experience.
Trial, World Events, Public Dungeons, and more
In addition to the new content above, players can expect:
- New World Events: dynamic events that unfold in the world
- New Public Dungeons: social spaces for players to gather and play together
- Delves: shorter, self-contained quests that offer rewards and experience
- A new 12-player trial: challenging encounters with powerful enemies
