Dragon Priests Return!

The first featured dungeon is Scalecaller Peak located in the northeastern Sormhaven, an ancient burial site of long-forgotten Dragon Priests that once ruled, alongside their dragon masters, over Nirn. Now this place is overrun with cultists seeking a way to unleash a deadly plague over Tamriel. You and your team have to battle through this massive tomb and stop this evil plot by defeating resurrected Scalecaller.

Fang Lair, located in northern Bangkorai used to be a massive Dwemer mine that has been destroyed by the dragon Thurvokun centuries ago. After the downfall, this massive beast used it as its lair. The original name of the site has been lost to history and the place is now known simply as Lair of the Fang or Fang Lair. Thurvokun has eventually passed away leaving behind nothing but withered bones and great power resonating throughout the Dwemer halls. This force has drawn the attention of a powerful necromancer, Orryn the Black, that wishes to claim it for himself and resurrect the ancient beast.

 Battlegrounds

Apart from the new dungeons and item sets, Dragon Bone DLC comes with two new battleground maps. Mor Khazgur an Orcish mountain stronghold that has been through more than few cycles of destruction and rebuilding and Deeping Dome an abandoned Dwemer site with an unknown purpose. Both battlegrounds require Morrowind expansion to play. 

Outfits 

Elder Scrolls players can be divided into few categories and fashion junkies would be one of them. While some spend hours on the battlefield, others prefer to spend entire nights mixing and matching various styles, colors etc. . New outfit system gives Tamriel fashionistas will have the freedom they have always wanted. Now you can change the appearance of your gear to any known crafting styles. Mix and match your gear and save your outfit to instantly change your wardrobe setting, you will also be able to buy more outfit slots at the crown store. 

Home Storage

Since the release of housing, may players suggested making containers something more than a decor piece. Update 17 will allow you to acquire unique collectibles that will serve as storage containers not connected with your bank so you can finally sort those sets you don't want to get rid of, or sentimental pieces of quest gear (Sword Saint's Blade anyone?) that served no other purpose than bank clutter. Finally Tamriel Hoarders Online is getting a piece of housing equipment that will help to manage and sort our precious trinkets. 

Level Up Advisor

Update 17 will introduce new Level Up Advisor and Skill Advisor tools. Those new features will help new players to make more educated decisions about their character development and mechanics behind their skills. Every time one of your characters gains a level you will receive valuable gameplay tips and useful rewards like gold, crafting materials and consumables, and once every now and then a Crown Crate!

Whether you are a pvp junkie, fashion slave, newbie or a dungeon dweller, this February is a perfect time to get back to Tamriel!
