The upcoming Update 40 for The Elder Scrolls Online introduces the Infinite Archive (previously known as Endless Archive), a new PvE activity that provides players with unique rewards. MmoGah, a reliable TESO coin store, shares more details about this unending dungeon-like adventure.
What Is Infinite Archive
The Elder Scrolls Online's Update 40 is set to introduce a new PvE activity called Infinite Archive. This new activity will allow players to enter the archive solo, with a friend, or with a Companion and face randomly generated waves of enemies and bosses.
Structure of the Infinite Archive
The Infinite Archive is divided into Stages, Cycles, and Arcs. After completing three Stages, players will have to fight a boss that will complete a Cycle. After completing five Cycles, players will need to defeat an Arc boss. The first four Cycles will end with a random boss, while the fifth Cycle will end with the main boss, Tho'at Replicanum.
After defeating the corruption at the heart of the Archive, your expedition doesn't come to an end. You can continue further into deeper Stages, Cycles, and Arcs, with the difficulty level gradually increasing as you progress. The extent to which you delve into the Infinite Archive is entirely up to you.
Unlike other activities in ESO, there is no normal or veteran version in Infinite Archive. Additionally, no minimum CP is required to enter. However, the difficulty will increase the further players go, and so will the rewards. As players progress through Stages, the difficulty will slightly increase. When they move to a new Cycle, the difficulty will increase slightly. But the difficulty will be greater as they explore from Arc to Arc.
Threads of Fate
At the start of the game, players are given three Threads of Fate, which represent their lives. The game begins at the Index of the Infinite Archive. If players are playing with another person, they only lose a Thread if both players die. If one player falls, the other can resurrect them without losing a life.
Verses and Visions
As players progress in the Infinite Archive, they can collect two unique boons: Verses and Visions. Verses are temporary buffs that players can select at the end of each Stage that last until the end of the next Stage. Visions, on the other hand, are available at the end of each Cycle and provide a boon that lasts for the entire run. The Visions and Verses players select as they progress can go a long way in determining how far they can go.
Leaderboards
There will be separate Leaderboards: Solo Leaderboards and Duo Leaderboards. The solo ones will be separated by class, while the Duo will be just one Leaderboard.
Infinite Archive Rewards
Class Sets
The Infinite Archive introduces new and unique type of items called Class Sets. These sets buff the abilities for the game's seven unique classes, providing synergy with specific Skill Lines. Players can collect these powerful new items via loot drops or the Archive's unique vendor. The developers stated that there will be more Class Sets in the future.
The seven sets coming with Update 40 are Basalt-Blooded Warrior, Gardener of Seasons, Monolith of Storms, Nobility in Decay, Reawakened Hierophant, Soulcleaver, and Wrathsun.
Archival Fortunes
Another reward players can get from the Infinite Archive is Archival Fortunes. As a new in-game currency, Archival Fortunes can be spent at vendors in the Archive's starting area for a host of consumables, Class Set items, style pages, and, most notably, unique buffs for excursions.
In conclusion, ESO's Update 40 introduces an exciting new PvE activity called Infinite Archive that offers unique rewards for players who are up for the challenge. With its randomly generated waves of enemies and bosses, Class Sets that buff abilities for each class, and unique buffs for excursions, Infinite Archive will surely provide players with hours of fun and excitement.
