For the week of August 18, 2026 in ESO, players can find archival fortunes, trial leads, and various valuable collectible items on rotation across specific weekly vendors.
Overview of Weekly Vendor Offerings
This week, The Elder Scrolls Online features a variety of items in its weekly vendor rotations. Highlights include trial leads related to the Void Mother mythic item, Fungal Grotto mask style pages, and companion jewelry. While Netch's Oil set offers slightly improved value over other crowd-control reduction sets, its utility remains niche. Players looking for rare collectibles such as style pages and scripts will find options to consider, although some items are less desirable for meta builds.
The vendor offerings this week include ample opportunities to collect rare trial leads, mythic fragments, style pages, and cosmetic items. While not all sets or items available are impactful for endgame builds, certain leads and collectibles may still prove valuable depending on your needs.
Trial Leads Available This Week
Players seeking mythic item leads should note this week's offerings allow quicker acquisition of hard-to-get pieces from the Maw of Lorkhaj (MOL) trial. One lead comes from the last boss of MOL, while another originates in the first boss encounter. These leads contribute toward completing the Void Mother mythic, which provides bonuses to heavy attack damage and changes the mechanics of light and heavy attacks. The Void Mother is an intriguing option for PvP heavy attack builds but requires experimentation for its full potential.
steps
- Visit the weekly vendor in the Infinite Archive to purchase the trial lead for the last boss in MOL.
- If you've already acquired the first lead from MOL's earlier rotation, this is a great chance to complete your collection.
- Players who opt out of purchasing the leads may need to farm the corresponding trial bosses.

Archival Fortunes Featured Items
Archival fortunes are required for this week's selection of cosmetic rewards. Two notable inclusions are the face marking available for 5,000 fortunes and the Fungal Grotto mask bound style page priced at 15,000 fortunes. The Fungal Grotto mask offers a significant gold cost saving compared to directly purchasing the item elsewhere, though its overall appeal varies by player.
steps
- Acquire the face markings for 5,000 archival fortunes if cosmetic customization is a priority for your character.
- Consider purchasing the Fungal Grotto mask style page for 15,000 archival fortunes if your interest lies in collecting rare cosmetic styles.
Telvanni Peninsula Coffers
Daily tasks in the Telvanni Peninsula remain one of the more straightforward ways to farm rare items and coffers during this rotation. Among the available daily quests, completing the daily delve task is identified as the simplest and most repeatable method for garnering coffers without expending significant effort.
steps
- Locate and complete the daily delve quest in the Telvanni Peninsula for reliable and easy access to daily coffers.
- Additional daily tasks are available, but some may require greater effort due to the region's decreased farming activity.
Imperial City Vendor Highlights
The Imperial City Sewers vendor offers rotating sets and items for Tel Var stones. This week's highlights include sets like Netch's Oil, companion jewelry, and mythic fragments. While Netch's Oil provides crowd-control immunity benefits, its utility remains niche, overshadowed by alternatives like Snow Treader boots or synergistic potion builds. Companion jewelry is a better investment, catering to various roles like DPS, tanking, or healing.
steps
- Review available sets and their stats, such as Netch's Oil and other crowd-control reducing sets, before deciding to purchase.
- Companion jewelry is recommended for players looking to equip or stash gear for their allies.
