- Imperial City Celebration
Throughout the week, the Imperial City Celebration will be available to test! This event features double Tel Var drops from all monsters, as well as double the chance of obtaining a Scamp or Skin Runebox from slaying Molag Bal's Simulacrum. In addition to this, you'll be able to earn Event Tickets by participating in Imperial City (as described below), and you can spend those Tickets on various Imperial City-themed offerings at the Impresario.
- In the upcoming Imperial City Celebration, you'll be able to earn

- Slay a patrolling boss monster within Imperial City or its Sewers.
- Defeat Molag Bal's Simulacrum within the deepest reaches of the Imperial City Sewers.
- In addition to the Indrik Feathers and the four Onyx Berries needed
to create an Onyx Indrik Mount, you'll also be able to purchase:
- A selection of Imperial and Daedric furnishings (1-3 Tickets apiece)
- The Ebon-Glow Indrik Pet (10 Tickets)
- The Stonefire Scamp, typically found only rarely by slaying Molag Bal's Simulacrum (10 Tickets)
- The Soul-Shriven Skin, typically found only rarely by slaying Molag Bal's Simulacrum (10 Tickets)
General
- Many item sets introduced or reworked in this update will receive additional balance tweaks in a future PTS patch. These adjustments are intended to better align the sets with power budget standards we’ve established for item sets, and to allow for more counter play (particularly with the resurrection sets).
- Hidden Blade and its morphs will receive some adjustments to how Brutality is granted, and Flying Blade will get a targeting responsiveness improvement to activate its special teleport. This change will be in a future PTS patch.
- Maelstrom’s Dual Wield set is currently enabling too much damage with the DoT refactor. It will be adjusted to tone down the total Weapon and Spell Damage, but will get some improvements to its usability in a fluid rotation. This change will be in a future PTS patch.
- Soul Splitting Trap currently bypasses our single target ruleset, making it far stronger than other options. This is a known increase, and will be adjusting this ability in a future patch to bring it more in line with standards.
- Sorcerers currently lack an ability they can utilize to heal their allies with supplemental power, such as a Heal over Time. We have some adjustments to the Power Surge morph of Surge in a future Update to help grant them such a tool!
- Fixed an issue where the Master Crafter's Forgotten Mail was giving older Jewelry Crafting writs, rather than the new, updated, more rewarding ones. The Forgotten Mail will now provide a Blue, Purple, and Gold-quality Jewelry Crafting Writ, using the new Jewelry Crafting Master Writ value schema, in addition to all of the other non-Jewelry writs it normally gives.
- Added a new container to the Ultimate Crafting Crate, "The Ever-Full Fishing Bait Box". This container contains 200 of each type of Fishing Bait, as well as itself - so you can fish, or cook, to your heart's content.

- Moongrave Fane
- Siphoning
- Drain Power:
- Sap Essence (morph): Increased the healing from this ability by 23.3% since it was missing rank up progression, and was being reduced by 20% if you failed to hit a target with the damage of this ability.

- Two Handed

- Necrotic Orb
Consumables
- Disastrously Bloody Mara: Fixed an issue where the Health Recovery from this consumable would fail to apply.
