Master New Ways to Play

The way you experience Tamriel is up to you, but there's always new ways to play. Review some of the new systems, challenges, and even classes added to the game in recent years.

Subclassing
Golden Pursuits
Scribing
Infinite Archive
Arcanist Class
Tales of Tribute
Companions
Antiquities
Necromancer Class

The Subclassing system, introduced to the game with Update 46, allows you to mix and match class skill lines in your character builds. Create a style all your own with Subclassing and truly play your way.

Scribing is a journey into the heart of undiscovered magic that allows you to acquire and create all-new custom skills for your characters. Since its introduction alongside Gold Road in Update 42, you can acquire powerful Grimoires and customize them into handmade skills by adding Scripts.

Traverse the Infinite Archive—alone or with an ally—and battle untold dangers of increasing difficulty in this realm of shifting halls, to which players gained access in Update 40. No two excursions will be the same as you fight and explore to earn class sets, furnishings, and collectibles.

The Arcanist class wields the power of Hermaeus Mora, Daedric Prince of Knowledge. Manipulate the power of Oblivion itself and draw forth powerful runes, destructive tomes, and writhing tentacles from the realm of Apocrypha. These mysterious scholars emerged from their sanctums and libraries in Update 38 alongside the Necrom Chapter.

Tales of Tribute is an in-game card game that you can play whenever you need a break from closing Daedric portals or slaying dragons. Unlock Patron decks based around famous figures from Tamriel that help define your playstyle. Players have enjoyed Tales of Tribute since Update 34 and the High Isle Chapter.

Companions are non-player characters who can aid you on your adventures throughout Tamriel. As you earn their trust and strengthen your bonds of fellowship, your Companion may share personal quests with you. Companions joined the fight in Update 30 alongside the Blackwood Chapter release.

The Antiquities system allows you to scry the location of Tamriel’s hidden relics and treasures, and then excavate them. Antiquarians can earn rewards including collectibles and riches, and even uncover secret histories and lore. The search for these ancient treasures began in Update 26 as the Greymoor Chapter released.

Introduced in Update 44, the Golden Pursuits system provides a series of themed, limited-time activities that allow you to earn special rewards such as mounts, costumes, homes, useful resources, consumables, and much more.

Masters of death, Necromancers can call upon corpses to serve as undead thralls and weave ghastly spells to both harm and heal. Unleashed on Tamriel in Update 22 with the Elsweyr Chapter, now you can master the dark arts for yourself.
