Patch 1.5.8 was released January 12, 2015.
The Elder Scrolls Online v1.5.8 is an incremental patch that addresses a variety of outstanding issues surrounding gameplay, dungeons, and quests. In an effort to improve performance in Cyrodiil, we have also escorted all deer and torchbugs to greener pastures. Please note the version number on the client will still say 1.5.7 after maintenance; this is a known issue, and will be fixed with our next maintenance. This patch will be approximately 200MB.

UI
General
- In an effort to help reduce server strain tracking the multitude of monsters within Cyrodiil, the deer have fled to greener pastures with less blood on their hooves. Torchbugs have joined them…with less blood on their little feet obviously.
- Adjusted the scale for displaying high, medium, and low population in the Campaign Display window. This will now work correctly in conjunction with the population changes we previously made to Cyrodiil.
Combat & Gameplay
- Repentance (Restoring Aura morph): Fixed a remaining issue where the effects from this ability would not clear after you resurrected.
Weapon
- Heavy attacks will now restore magicka when your targeted enemy is blocking.
- Brawler (Cleave morph): Fixed an issue where the damage shield from this ability wasn't refreshing to the correct value when used twice in a row without the shield breaking.
- Fixed an issue where your weapons would appear to vanish from your hands if you swapped the weapons while in your inventory.
Alliance War
- Caltrops: Visual effects from multiple ranks of this ability will no longer stack multiplicatively, resulting in improved performance and more effects showing up in large battles.
Dungeons & Group Content
Dungeons
- Fixed an issue where the Darkfern Skeletons that were summoned by Canonreeve Oraneth would not fight you.
- Fixed an issue where you would not receive credit for killing Ulguna Soul-Reaver for the Pledge or the quest

- Mind of Madness: Gasteau will once again be available to complete this quest, after you defeat the Architect.
Veteran Dungeons
- Fixed an issue where you could not kill the boss and his adds after resurrecting with a soul gem.
Miscellaneous
