The Elder Scrolls Legends Receiving New Update

In addition to today’s monthly card reveal, The Elder Scrolls Legends is receiving a game update tomorrow that will arrive in conjunction with a maintenance period. The maintenance will begin at 11 AM EST and the game will be unavailable until complete. When the maintenance is finished, players will be able to access the game with the following patch notes implemented:

The Elder Scrolls Legends Update Notes for 9/21

Starter Pack Now Available! – The new Starter Pack is available as a one-time purchase. It includes 10 packs of cards (at least one guaranteed Legendary card), a special Title, and three alternative art cards.
Main Menu Flow – New menu flow for easier navigation.
New Card Sellback System – If a card you have gets nerfed, you will have a limited time to sell back the card for its full crafting cost.
Changes to the Ranking system
- Loss protection ends at The Lord
- Ascending to next constellation requires a win at the topmost star
- No bonus matches at The Warrior and beyond
Soul Gem Cap for Practice Mode – Instituted daily cap of 300 soul gems for Practice Mode rewards.
Wording Updates – Many cards have had their game text wording improved. These changes were made for clarity and consistency.
- The most noticeable templating change is for cards that draw created cards like Plunder. Instead of “Draw two random items,” it says, “Put two random items in your hand.” This helps clarify that you don’t need items in your deck to play this card.
Creature Types – Two large creature types, Animal and Undead, have been split up for flavor and gameplay reasons. Creatures that used to be “Animal” are now Beast, Reptile, Spider, and Mudcrab. Formerly “Undead” creatures are now Spirit, Vampire, Skeleton, and Mummy.
- Dawnbreaker still targets the same group of Undead, and Wild Beastcaller still gets the same range of Animals.
- However, Bone Colossus now is a Skeleton that boosts your Skeletons, which is a gameplay change.
Card Balance Changes –
- Rift Thane – Back to 4/2 with Breakthrough when you and your opponent are tied on life. This was an unintended change in the last patch.
- Wispmother – Does not copy itself even if it has cost 2. It will continue to work with other cards that have their cost reduced.
