The Tamriel Tomes system is The Elder Scrolls Online’s official take on a battle pass, unifying several older reward systems into a single, streamlined progression track. Introduced with Season Zero on April 2, 2026, the first season launches with the Tome of Dawn and Dusk.

Unlike traditional MMO battle passes, Tamriel Tomes emphasizes player choice and long-term accessibility over daily grinding.

ESO’s New Tome Points Currency Explained

Caches of tome Points can be redeemed within the Tomes. Each Cache contains 2,000 Tome Points.

Tome Points are the second new currency introduced in Season 0. They are often confused with Trade Bars, which replaced event tickets and are used at the Gold Coast Bazaar. Trade Bars are not used for the Tamriel Tomes pages.

  • Tome Points: Used specifically for the Tamriel Tomes pages.
  • Trade Bars: These replace the old Event Tickets and are spent exclusively at the Gold Coast Bazaar.

Tome points serve two purposes:

  1. Unlocking Tome Pages: Reaching point milestones grants access to new pages with new rewards.
  2. Spend Tome Points on rewards: You spend these points to claim rewards on any unlocked page in any order you choose.

Tome Point Carryover Between Seasons

  • Up to 2,000 unused Tome Points carry over into the next season
  • Any Tome Points above this limit are lost when a season ends

How to Earn Tome Points

Tomes Challenges in-game UI where you will find your weekly and seasonal challenges.

Summary: The Tamriel Tome "Storybook" System

Think of the Tamriel Tome as a themed storybook. Each completed challenge is like reading a chapter, earning bookmarks (Tome Points). Instead of being forced to read the book in order, those bookmarks let you flip to any unlocked page and choose exactly which rewards you want first.

This flexible structure makes Tamriel Tomes one of ESO’s most player-friendly progression systems to date.
