Update 49 has officially landed in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), and while it\u2019s technically a base-game patch, it\u2019s also laying the groundwork for something much bigger. This update isn\u2019t just about balance tweaks, it\u2019s the foundation for ESO\u2019s new seasonal model, with Season Zero<\/a> launching on April 2.<\/p>\n

From a full Dragonknight class refresh to major quality-of-life improvements and even a free reward bundle for all players, there\u2019s quite a lot packed into this update.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s break down the biggest changes.<\/p>\n

The Dragonknight Class gets a major refresh<\/h2>\n

The biggest gameplay change in ESO\u2019s Update 49 is the full Dragonknight class rework, which updates the class across abilities, visuals, and gameplay identity. This is one of my favourites since I\u2019m a Dragonknight main. Be warned though, when you log into the game for the first time and update, you might find a bunch of your Skills, and even equipment has been removed. You\u2019ll need to go into your Skills and assign new Skills to your bar, and re-equip your weapons.<\/p>\n

Every Dragonknight ability received updated animations, sound effects, and visual effects, helping the class better reflect its draconic theme.<\/p>\n

But the refresh isn\u2019t just cosmetic.<\/p>\n

The combat team focused on making Dragonknight feel stronger as a pure class build, especially for players who prefer not to rely heavily on subclassing systems.<\/p>\n
