Tamriel Renaissance
Hey Friends! I seem to have pretty much played nothing but Elder Scrolls Online this weekend and had a blast doing so. Right now I seem to be going through a little bit of a renaissance with this game and it is happening for a bunch of reasons. Firstly I had been grasping for something to really engage with in the month until the Outriders launch. Secondly and probably considerably more important is that I connected with my friends Bells and Zuu who are themselves having a bit of a revival with the game. This lead to a whole sequence of events that has folks coming back and joining my guild and effectively revitalizing the entire experience.
That is nothing to dilute the fact that Elder Scrolls Online is just a really solid game right now and they seem to have nailed the release cadence for content drops. For awhile now they have been on this cycle of releasing a new expansion every year and then three minor drops throughout that expansion content cycle. On top of that they seem to keep investing in new systems and supporting aging systems like player housing. The myriad of content that is still fresh and viable is staggering to me, because it all more or less centers around build diversity and the gear that you gain after a certain point effectively staying evergreen.
This is more or less accomplished in a structured manner. Each zone has a specific set worth of gear that drops in it, and that set is more or less unique and stays effective regardless of how many new sets get added into the game pending you want to focus on that specific play style. In my travels I stumbled across this listing of the Overworld set drops and zones they drop in. There are also dungeon dropped sets but they are probably more straight forward. Then far as I can tell there are specific activities in that zone that can drop specific items. Based on my research it looks a little like this:
