Unlocking Tales of Tribute in ESO
Before you’re able to start playing Tales of Tribute, you’ll first need to unlock it. Thankfully, the quest that unlocks the game also serves as a tutorial. Here’s how to get started.
Step 1:Head to Gonfalon Bay in High Isle.
Step 2:Once in the city, look for the southernmost building. This is the Gonfalon Gaming Hall.
Step 3:Head toward the Gonfalon Gaming Hall. Right before you cross the bridge, look for a small flyer – it’ll be highlighted as a quest on your compass.
Step 4:Interact with the flyer to acquire the Tales of Tribute quest.
Step 5:Speak with Brahgas, located just outside the Gonfalon Gaming Hall, to continue the quest.
Step 6:From there, simply follow the markers on your map to meet a few important faces in the world of Tales of Tribute and learn the basics of the game.
Tales of Tribute: Basic rules and guidelines
While the tutorial does a good job of running you through the basics, you might need a quick refresher on how the game works before jumping into your first official match. There are a lot of nuances to the game (and plenty of in-depth strategies to learn as you play), but here are the basic rules to get you started.
Where to play Tales of Tribute
Once you’ve got your head around the basics and wrapped up the Tales of Tribute quest, you may start playing real matches against NPCs and other real players. You’ll need to look in different locations depending on who you want to play, but finding a match is simple.
Tales of Tribute leaderboards
Although it’s a mini-game, Tales of Tribute has a robust leaderboard system that tracks your progress. After completing five placement matches, you’ll be ranked in one of four different tiers. As you win or lose subsequent matches, this ranking will change. At the end of the season, you’ll earn exclusive rewards based on your rank.
Finding new Tales of Tribute decks
After wrapping up the tutorial, you’ll be given four Tales of Tribute decks. You can unlock four more by exploring Tamriel and completing a variety of quests. You can also find upgraded cards for existing decks, which changes how they perform during matches. Keep in mind that earning new decks won’t give you a distinct advantage, and both your and your opponent’s decks are combined into one shared pile.
