Patch Notes: Revenants - gear, arts and missions abroad

Gear for your sworn revenants

Sworn revenants now have ten gear slots: a weapon, a shield, a helm, two pauldrons, a cuirass, gauntlets, greaves, boots and a charm. Open the Companions page (pause menu, Holdings), press Gear on a companion's card, and give it pieces from your pack. Take back returns a piece to your pack.
People, orcs and centaurs wear weapons and armour. Every kind can wear a charm.
A revenant's rank limits what it can bear:
- Rank I takes up to Silver and Magic pieces, Rank II Dwarven and Rare, Rank III Adamantium, Rank IV Orcish and Legendary, and Rank V Daedric.
- A piece it can't wear says which rank it needs.
The pieces it can wear are listed first. Show more lists the rest of your pack.
A piece you give replaces the one it would have rolled for itself, and its rarity bonuses apply to it.
A shield needs a whole one-handed weapon given with it.
Given gear wears down in battle like yours does. The Gear sheet shows each piece's condition. A broken piece is marked and isn't worn until you take it back and have it repaired.
Gear counts as your inventory: you get it back when you release a revenant, and a deserter keeps the more valuable half.

One revenant in three is born with an art: Mending, Ward, War Cry, Siphon, Barrage or Nova.
Against you, from Rank II (with Enhanced AI):
- Mending, Ward and War Cry are channelled. A coloured disc around the revenant's own feet means it is channelling. Hit it, or hurt it in any way, to break the spell.
- Siphon, Barrage and Nova are thrown at you. They are marked on the ground like other telegraphed attacks: move out of the mark.
- A paralysed revenant can't use its art. A silenced one can't either, except War Cry.
For you, once sworn, at any rank:
- Mending heals you when you drop low.
- Ward shields you, and War Cry raises your Strength, as it goes into a fight.
- Siphon, Barrage and Nova strike hostile foes it can see, within 12 m, and hit harder at a higher rank.
The Revenants page and the Companions page say what each revenant's art does.

Press Mission on a sworn revenant to send it to any of Tamriel's nine provinces.
Choose Plunder for loot, Forage for crafting materials, or Sell-sword for gold.
The trip takes one to four days of your character's time, depending on the province.
- Online, those days pass only while you play: resting, waiting and travelling don't speed it up. A day abroad is about two hours of play.
- When it comes back, the haul goes straight into your purse, your pack and your Materials Bag.
Each province has its own danger and its own goods: Skyrim's orichalcum and pelts, Morrowind's ebony and Dwemer metal, Black Marsh's venom.
Its odds depend on its rank and its gear against the province's danger, and the page shows them before you send it.
- On a good trip it brings the whole haul and grows more loyal.
- On a hard trip it brings half and comes back hurt, needing a rest.
- It never deserts while it is abroad.
Up to two revenants can be abroad at once. Recall brings one back at once, empty-handed, and it must rest from the road. The page asks before recalling.
