↖ Introduction

Endless Archive is a new PvE Arena that will be accessible to all players as part of the base game in Update 40. As you delve deeper into the Endless Archive, you'll not only face tougher enemies but also have an increasing chance of receiving valuable rewards. In a recent developer stream, this was demonstrated as the developers acquired more of the Endless Archive's unique currency known as Archival Fortunes.

↖ Archival Fortunes

Archival Fortunes are the primary ESO currency you'll earn in the Endless Archive. They can be spent at The Watcher Merchants, conveniently located in the index of the Endless Archive. ESO Plus members enjoy a 10% bonus on all Archival Fortunes they earn.

Here's what you can purchase with Archival Fortunes:

All items obtained with Archival Fortunes are bound on pickup, except for the crafting materials, which can be traded.

↖ Tezer's Inventory

Tezer offers a continually rotating set of items weekly. This inventory can include:

• Treasure maps.
  
• Antiquity leads.
  
• Monster set style pages.
  
• Companion gearboxes.
  
• Lorebook furnishings.
  
• Assorted achievement and public dungeon fragments (note: all items appear to be bound on pickup on the PTS).

Keep in mind that all these items are bound to be pickup on the PTS, preventing players from selling them to others.

↖ Rewards

The rewards offered by the Endless Archive are diverse and appealing to different types of players. Some players may appreciate the aesthetic of unique furnishings and achievement rewards, while others might be drawn to the class sets and consumables. However, a few considerations should be noted:

• Exclusive Rewards: Some players might wish for more exclusive items available only in the Endless Archive, similar to Imperial City or Cyrodiil vendors who sell primarily exclusive items.
• Achievement Grind: Some of the achievement rewards require substantial effort, which might not be as satisfying as rewards that are less flashy, like mementoes and body markings.

Conclusion:

In total, the rewards in the Endless Archive offer a variety of enticing options, catering to different player preferences. While some may find the grind for certain achievements a bit daunting for relatively less flashy rewards, others may relish the opportunity to acquire unique items and class sets.
