Released on June 02 2014.

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v1.2.0. This version contains our second major content update, the introduction of the new Veteran Crypt of Hearts dungeon, as well as many other fixes and refinements to gameplay, quests, and more.

We have also added a new FOV slider for first-person view, and improved the interactability with the world. We're looking forward to your feedback for this patch, so be sure to let us know what you think!

Big Changes / Updates / New FeaturesEdit

Veteran Crypt of Hearts DungeonEdit

  • Veteran Crypt of Hearts is open! The lich Nerien'eth has returned to inflict endless agony on the spirits he trapped in the original Crypt of Hearts. Fight mysterious Daedra and ultimately the lich himself to free these souls in an entirely new content experience. Veteran Crypt of Hearts continues the story begun in the original dungeon. This Veteran Dungeon is intended to be a challenge for groups of Veteran Rank 12 player characters.

FOV SliderEdit

  • Our new field of view slider allows you to change the field of view while playing in first-person mode, and will let you change between the minimum FOV of 70 up to the maximum FOV of 130.
  • The slider settings can be found in Settings > Camera, and under the First Person section.
  • Your setting will be saved per character.

Pick up Armor and WeaponsEdit

  • Weapons and armor found in the world can now be picked up and equipped.
    • These items are low quality, but can be used if needed.
    • These items sell for 0 gold.
    • These items are upgradeable through crafting.
    • These items can be deconstructed, but yield very low inspiration and rarely yield usable resources.

Improved Interior LightingEdit

  • They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look at these images of our new window projections:

Solo vs Group Content CalloutsEdit

  • To reduce confusion when separated from your friends while entering solo instances, all doors and loading screens will now tell you what type of instance you are about to enter. For example, the door to Spindleclutch will now be displayed as “Spindleclutch (Group Instance).”
