User blog:Poisoned apples/ESO: Scalebreaker and Update 23 Released on PC & Mac

As of August 12, The Elder Scrolls Online: Scalebreaker, a new dungeon DLC pack for The Elder Scrolls Online, is now officially released alongside Update 23 on PC/Mac! For Playstation 4 and Xbox One, this will be released on August 27.

Scalebreaker comes with two 4-player dungeons: Lair of Maarselok and Moongrave Fang. While these are a part of the Season of the Dragon storyline, players can still enjoy both dungeons without having already completed The Elder Scrolls Online: Wrathstone and The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr.

Scalebreaker can be purchased in the in-game Crown Store for 1500, and is free for all ESO Plus members. The Collector's Bundle, which includes the DLC game pack, a mount, pet and Crown Experience Scrolls, is available for 4000.

Scalebreaker
"Deep beneath the border mountains of eastern Grahtwood, the Dragon known as Maarselok wakes with the release of his brethren from the Halls of Colossus. Hungry and vengeful, the terrible beast has ravaged the wilds, and his corrupting power threatens the Elden Root tree if left unchecked."
 * Lair of Maarselok
 * With the help of an unlikely duo you might have already encountered in Valenwood, delve into the Lair of Maarselok and stop his corruption from spreading further into the wildlife. Good luck, because Maarselok will need to be defeated in three different boss fights! If you succeed, rewards include new Achievements, Mementos and Furnishings plus new gear sets. Check out this article to read more about rewards and what you'll discover in this dungeon.

"Deep within the ruins of an abandoned Khajiiti temple, the Hollowfang Clan has struck down a Dragon from the sky and now holds it captive. However, instead of destroying the massive beast, the clan, joined by a former member of the Dragonguard, has other, more nefarious plans for the monster."
 * Moongrave Fane
 * In this dungeon, not only must you fight through monsters and vampires, but there is also a puzzle to solve. "Moongrave's sliding stones are a unique puzzle mechanic we developed for the Dungeon, but they are more than just a door-opening mechanism," explains Mike Finnigan, ESO's Dungeon Lead. Loot includes powerful gear sets from bosses and furnishings plus a pet if you earn the Moongrave Fane Challenger Achievement. Check out the dungeon's preview article for more information.

When you enter one of the two dungeons, you'll receive a free Dread-Aurelian Mask. When you complete both you'll earn a unique tablet collectible which allows you to unlock another wing in the Hall of the Lunar Champion home!

Update 23
Update 23 is a free base-game patch for all ESO players. Notable changes and improvements include:
 * Undaunted Keys and Merchants – Undaunted Keys are now a currency and will no longer take up inventory space. These can be directly spent at the three Undaunted quest givers.
 * Multi-Crafting – Crafting, deconstructing, extracting and refining at Crafting Stations no longer have to be performed one at a time.
 * Guild Trader Multi-Bidding – Guild Leaders may now place bids on up to ten Guild Traders every week. Bids that are not won are refunded, and only the highest winning bid will apply.

For a more in-depth look at these three improvements, see this preview. The full Patch Notes are on the ESO forums.
