So as you know it's the last month of Blades. I play the game on the switch and I am currently level 20. I really would love to finish the game before the shut-down but now I reached a point in the main quest where I keep on dying, close to the end of the main quest. Now there's also the arena battles, thalmor quest etc. But what would be the easiest way to level up? The abyss or jobs? What should I look out for?

I updated my OS a while back and Blades stopped working. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it only to find that it’s been removed from the App Store entirely (what with the pending end of the game, I suppose).

It was disappointing- I’m only a few quests from actually beating the game (been holding off because I guess I don’t like being “done” with things, but that’s a psychological discussion for another time). I just accepted that I won’t be able to access the game anymore.

UNTIL I CHANCED UPON THE GAMES APP! I don’t really use my phone for too much- Reddit, YouTube, work. The Games app has been relatively untouched.

*BUT.* I went in on a whim and saw my “recently played” games. Blades was there, and it had an option to reinstall! And it worked!!

So, now I can polish off those last few quests :) Hopefully, if anyone else has been having this issue with their iPhone, this can help!

Super dumb fix, perhaps, but this is a super dumb user we’re talking about here, folks. Love you all; maybe I’ll see you in the arena. (I’m Arikizza, the purple lizard lady! I will probably send you a heart emote. 🫶)

Anyone else playing on switch 2 getting Communication Error? Been unable to login

We all know blades has a month to go before servers get permanently shut down. While one is leaving another TES is coming to switch 2 ( oblivion remastered ) announced on Nintendo direct in February.How many will jump on that?

So with the blades coming to an end...maybe they might be able to make a sequel? Like I can't deny that I enjoyed my time with the game, but I'm not gonna lie when I say that this game had it's fair share of problems. Like maybe they can take their experience with this game, and maybe build on it. Make improvements and make a proper sequel to this game with improved gameplay, storyline, and maybe a bit less on the micro-tranactions. Not sure but it would be real cool if they did make a sequel.

My actual character (last post I didn’t realise I was on the arena)

Like…come on…this is barely an animation…

Hi, ever since I found out this game was shutting down I decided to play it. A long while back to maybe 2 or 3 years ago I first played this game and never touched it again but since it's shutting down and the devs are letting you go wild before it does I figured I coumd squeeze out everything I could from this game.

So anyways, I finished this event and got all the sigils but I didn't get any type of Saints armor and I don't see it in the Sigil shop? How can I "trade in sigils for special Golden Saint-themed items", as it says there?

She was the character that I made when playing this game and just recently I finished all the quests. Not gonna lie...if I every pick up skyrim or if bethesda finally gives people elder scrolls 6...I might make her again.

Second picture unrelated.

I was thinking it was probably a hide or armor piece of some kind. But the pattern on it confuses me.

The frost set has double enchantments and I forgot to use health enchant on the legendary set gloves and none has double extra enchantments.

I realise it's incredibly unlikely we'll get an offline mode or fan server from this game before it shuts down, but just for the sake of archiving the time and effort put into this game, has anyone figured out a way to download or save their account data in case such a fan project is ever created? Beyond all the fun I've had, I do feel like them shutting down and wiping the servers means I've wasted a lot of time if I walk away with nothing to show for it. If nothing else, it'd be nice to have some sort of manual character data sheet we can input things into to remember what we achieved.

Elder Scrolls Blades may be ending but Bethesda, why don't you all make every offer show up and every offer 1 gem since only 2 offers are available, after all, the game is ending so why not make everything available, maybe even add 1 extra offer that gets everyone to max level or something. After all, this game has been one of my favorites and it's sad to see that it's ending, so I have only one last request, if your shutting down all servers make there be a live event on the last day of online ESB servers, it could be a great way to end it. I appreciate how the community has been hoping blades wouldn't end but I think I know why, Bethesda could just be putting the blades dev team onto the TESVI dev team so they can make the game a lot quicker! So don't interpret the end as a lost opportunity if there isn't an event, take it as a possibility of a sooner Elder Scrolls VI!

Thank you for reading this paragraph, and thank you for being an amazing community!

Just started my first guild! I hope to get new members soon! I am always open to giving tips for new players too! If you want to join, just search "The Legends of Tamriel"! Make sure it's owned by a player named void, my character is named Void! Have fun!

I know the developers probably won't add this but since the online servers will shut down in June, why not host an event, basically a stellar black hole begins to approach Nirn, and as it grows closer, the more likely something called a raid will occur, when a raid occurs, basically the town's front gate gets destroyed and hostile enemies will enter every town, and during this time, everyone will enter the town of their guildmaster when this long event takes place, the gate will repair itself once the hostile enemies are all killed, but the closer the black hole, the more raids will occur, it even has a chance to have bandits and whatnot attack, but during this sequence, quests will be replaced with the ability to visit only ancient ruins looking for a place to use as a bunker, but on the last few days of the event, a new NPC will appear in every town.

Master Arius Sulen:

Master Arius Sulen is a dunmer mage who has a spell to teleport any amount of people to a parallel universe, you can talk with him about the mysteries of the elder scrolls universe, but on the last day, he will only say: "it is time..." Once the online servers are about to shut down, a cutscene plays where the mage uses a spell on all of Tamriel and teleports them to a parallel universe, a universe where the the world wasn't destroyed by a black hole, that's the only difference. Your progress is still saved, but in the process, the parallel versions of every player are transported to the doomed realm...

Let me know what you think!

I LOVE blades with all my heart and they're shutting it down? I understand it could be for a lot of reasons but still it's so sad to see it go :((((((((

Was somewhat caught by surprise today as I logged into the game for the first time in a little over a month. Been playing since 2020 in the early lockdown days with a few breaks in between and sit at level 58 today. I always felt like this was such an ambitious project bringing a game like this to mobile and really enjoyed a quick job, event, or drop into Abyss whenever I had a few minutes to spare in my day. I started worrying a little last year about how much time might be left on the server side once Legends was shut down. My hope of all hopes was that Bethesda might take it offline similar to what happened semi recently with Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, but that was always just a dream.

I really don't have much to add other than despite a few of it's flaws, I really enjoyed playing this game alongside many of you! I'm sad to see it finally go.

I work in software and do hope that some guys and gals far more intelligent than me will find a way to support this game again in the future. Based on a few threads I read today, it looks like the effort is underway. I'll definitely stay tuned for any updates there.

Cheers fellow champions!

Just heard the news about the game shutting down a couple weeks ago, decided it was time to finally jump in and finish the game. Started at level 8 and managed to get up to level 25 in that time, but I seem to have capped. All I have left is the Bloodfall Queen quests and the Arena quests.

Just curious if there’s any known tricks to level up quicker so I can jump into those!

i beat all the map quests but there are still locked gear

i should probrably do Events but i missed out on a bunch of em (expecialy The Trickster) so that makes me wonder if Beth is gona actvate all of em in June

I noted a couple times around here about the extra “The” when exploring dungeons with “the” in the name. Logged in, collected all my extra gems and sigils, then noted a quest in The Lost Tomb.

Objective: explore the The Lost Tomb

Never change, Blades. And I don’t know if I’m saying that sarcastically or sentimentally.

I've reset the game about 3 times now, and I can't seem to get this quest to start.

I'm level 36, and I've finished every other possible quest line in the game.

I've looked around my town, Frontinus isn't here at all, but the queen is.

No information about any issues like this are on UESP.

I found some old posts on this sub of people having the same issue, but none of those posts had the answer that fixed my problem.

I wanted to fully beat the game before servers shut down, but I'm worried that I won't be able to do on the main file I played on, as I no longer have access to my day one account for mobile.

Hello everyone, I have had this game downloaded for years but never got into it much. Recently when I saw the shutdown announcement I decided to try to complete the game before it's too late. I made a quick spreadsheet using the quest list from the wiki to track my progress since the quest map in game is kinda messy and hard to follow. Thought I would share it here in case it would be helpful for anyone else! Just make a copy if you want to use it :)

Year and quarter of grind.

Just needed last three Firebreath Opals, which were on the Sigil Store for one Sigil each.

Guess I won now.
