What you can do in ESO at level 50

When your character in ESO reaches level 50, the journey isn’t over. You’ll continue your exploration of Tamriel, earning Veteran ranks and taking on even greater challenges. To explain more, we present Creative Director Paul Sage’s description of veteran content, including a bit about Craglorn, our upcoming Adventure Zone. Read on and find out what’s in store for you:

One of the core philosophies of The Elder Scrolls Online is to enable you to play the way you want. You’ve probably heard us say it or experienced it for yourself: equip any weapon, wear any armor, choose from a myriad of skills, pick your role, make choices in quests, ignore certain quests and just explore, etc. The idea is that these choices tie you more to your character, and respect that you might want to play differently from one day to the next. Many times, I’ve heard people discuss how they like to solo, others like to “raid,” and another group likes to PvP, so we know gamers never fit into neat categories.

However, countless people who have become attached to their character want to see how their character would perform in a variety of situations or game modes. This is part of the reason we don’t have PvP gear and PvE gear, and also the reason we embrace being able to pick and max out more than a handful of skills. We’ve was trying to avoid the danger of compartmentalizing and labeling certain players by acknowledging that circumstances change for people day-to-day. On Monday you might feel like playing alone, and Tuesday you might feel like working with friends on a dungeon. Whatever your motivation, you should be in a position to go do the thing you want without a lot of barriers.

This is the philosophy behind the core systems of ESO—play the way you want to do—and it extends to our veteran content.
