Cyrodiil Reward Improvements

Eleven existing Item Sets have been expanded and made more available in Cyrodiil in the September 2015, and we’ve also improved the loot you receive at the end of a Campaign.

  • The Rewards for the Worthy can now potentially include items from a wide variety of existing item sets and will include every level and Veteran Rank so they can be enjoyed by anyone of any level.
  • We’ve significantly increased the amount of gold you get from end-of-campaign mails and from Leaderboard mails.
  • If you are a part of the winning Alliance and have earned a significant amount of AP during the Campaign, you will also be awarded a bevy of loot, similar to the Leaderboard mails but of a lesser quality.
    • These items will always be from one of the item sets found in the Rewards for the Worthy or Leaderboard mails.

    • If your Alliance was in first place, you’ll receive 20 kits.
