The Elder Scrolls Online has today launched its 7.1.7 update, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes for today’s patch. While there’s a fair amount that’s been changed across the board, today’s patch centers around some tweaks and fixes for two dungeons in ESO. These are the Dread Cellar and Red Petal Bastion, both seeing fixes and rebalancing based on player feedback. It’s great to see the team at ZeniMax are still supporting the game with these minor patches, to ensure the game feels as stable as ever. With a fair few things to talk about though, let’s not waste more time. Here’s all that’s been changed with The Elder Scrolls Online update 7.1.7!
