Maelstrom Weapons ESO
Maelstrom Weapons in ESO, are special Ability Altering Weapons that drop in the Maelstrom Arena. The Maelstrom Arena is a Solo Arena in the Wrothgar zone. In order to gain access to the Arena you must own the Orsinium DLC.
These special Weapons offer powerful effects that can increase your damage and your build’s effectiveness and come in two different versions, Normal and Perfected. You can obtain their Normal version by completing the Arena in normal difficulty. To earn their Perfected version, you will have to complete it in Veteran difficulty. The Perfected version is offering an extra bonus!
You can use these Weapons in ESO to create Builds for any type of PVE or PVP Gameplay! If you are looking for more details about the Maelstrom Arena you can read my Maelstrom Arena Guide.
