Elder Scrolls Online will be getting a fresh patch today. The substantial update will come in the form of the 1.3.3 patch, which brings with itself a huge set of fixes and additions.

 

 

While there are plenty of minor changes and alterations that come with this patch, the highlight of the update is the armor dye system and additions in the guild management. There are also plenty of combat related fixes, with improvement weapon/spell swapping and the capability of weapon abilities to proc weapon enchantments when used.

There is also a noticeable visual tweak in the form of color corrections, with enhanced contrast that gives a nice ENB-like touch to the surroundings.

6)Paint Bucket Tool: This tool applies the dye you’ve selected to the corresponding color area of every piece of gear you have equipped.
7)At a dye station, you can see every color available. Dyes you haven’t obtained yet are displayed with a lock icon. Hover over any locked color to see which achievement is associated with it.
