Update 47 Base-Game Improvements
Mount Swimming in ESO!
A truly long-awaited ESO feature, players will finally be able to remain mounted while traversing water. This eliminates frustrating dismounts, offering a smoother and less interrupted Elder Scrolls Online exploration experience. Swimming mounts in ESO are finally here!
Stackable Survey Reports
Similar to the stackable crafting writs introduced in Update 46, this change will allow survey reports to stack in your inventory (1 stack per profession). This seemingly small but significant improvement will free up valuable inventory space, a welcome change for diligent gatherers.
Infinite Archive Vision Re-Roll
Update 47 introduces the highly requested ability to re-roll Visions in the Infinite Archive. While it will cost an increasing amount of Archival Fortunes, that amount will reset, offering players more strategic control over their Infinite Archive runs.

Replayable Quest Dialogue
For those who enjoy revisiting ESO story elements or missed details, the ability to replay ESO quest dialogue is a fantastic addition, enhancing the narrative experience.
ESO Update 47 PTS

Writhing Wall Event on PTS
While the large-scale Writhing Wall event isn't active until October 2025 (as part of the Q4 2025 release), players can get an early sneak peek!
