ZeniMax Online Studios launched Update v9.0.6 for The Elder Scrolls Online just recently. This small 155-MB patch contains some much-needed bug fixes and improvements to the Sanity's Edge Trial and more.
Sanity's Edge is a 12-player trial in The Elder Scrolls Online introduced in the Necrom Chapter DLC. This trial has three boss encounters: Exarchanic Yaseyla, Archwizard Twelvane and the Chimera, and Ansuul the Tormentor. To entice players to take this on Veteran and harder difficulty, ZeniMax made a change where players will now be rewarded with gold jewelry (legendary) instead of purple jewelry (epic) for their efforts. Gold jewelry provides better stats than purple, which makes it an apt reward for brave warriors who manage to take down the harder versions of these bosses.
ZeniMax also fixed a number of issues concerning the bosses in Sanity's Edge. For one, Yaseyla's Fire Bombs no longer remain active after her defeat. Moreover, players who are affected by Ansuul's Manic Phobia ability may no longer be the target of her Sunburst attack.
Here are the other adjustments and bug fixes:
