Unscheduled maintenance

UPDATE: Here’s the official info from Zenimax community managers (source):

Last night a few North American users reported inventory-related issues with their character account, such as seeing additional inventory items appear, or seeing items that were not earned through gameplay. We’ve identified and fixed the problem, but the issue necessitated some downtime overnight for the North American megaserver. This problem has not manifested on the European server, so it continues to run as normal. The fix will be implemented as soon as all required pre-testing is complete this morning.

We were already planning to push a new game build to both servers this morning, and we will continue to work towards this. Stay tuned for complete patch note shortly. In addition to this aforementioned priority fix, we are also working quickly to restore our ‘send in-game mail’ functionality, some content blocking fixes that are preventing some users from finishing quests, and a few other tweaks. Our goal is to have all of these fixes initiated later this morning, eastern US time.

We will update this post as soon as we have an exact timeline for the service to be restored.

Khenarthi’s Roost Treasure Map Locations Guide

Khenarthi’s Roost is a tutorial land for Aldmeri Dominion players. This small island hides four Treasure Maps and additional two Khenarthi’s Roost CE Treasure Maps which are available as pre-purchase bonus.
There are several ways to acquire a map, but don’t forget that drop probability is very low:

  • random loot from mobs
  • random loot from locked / unlocked chests
  • you can buy them from a guild store

Each treasure map sketch will give you a hint where to look for a buried treasure, but it’s not easy to find this hidden place. The place where you should dig up the treasure chest is always covered with dirt mound, and it’s visible only to players with the corresponding map.

ESO Bangkorai Skyshards Location Map

Bangkorai is level 37-42 zone for Dagerfall Covenant members and it is the last zone you get to visit in Nirn. There is a looming Imperial threat you have to take care of alongside regular problems with Werewolves, Hags and other hostile creatures. Skyshards are scattered across the land and sometimes easy to find. The last skyshard was a very hard find though so I would suggest looking up its location. There are screenshots and guides for each and every shard bellow and we hope they prove helpful to all Dagerfall Covenant members as well as Veteran Rank explorers.

If you approach the ruins from north you will clearly see the skyshard next to the walls.

It just so happens that the final Bangkorai quest unravels here.

King awaits for you to speak to him and end the Imperial threat in Bangkorai. I think you have enough time to pick up one little skyshard though.

Take a fall from the grotto.

Guide:
From Bangkorai Garrison Wayshrine there is a passagaway that takes you to the southern part of the map. This takes you through the Fallen Grotto POI.

Stuck in a troll’s maw.

Guide:
Troll’s Tootphick solo dungeon hides this skyshard. Entrance to this dungeon is just a few steps east of Troll’s Toothpick Wayshrine in northern Bangkorai.

Go up the steps into the ruin there and you should see the wooden doors that take you inside Troll’s Tootphick. Be careful of the Trolls inside since trolls regenerate their massive health pool and hit hard.
The skyshard is inside the small side room, in the northeastern part of the dungeon. This part of the dungeon has a cracked ceiling and the light is coming in from the outside.

Find and enter Troll’s Tootphick solo dungeon.

Bjoulsae bandits’ hidden lair.

Guide:
Enter and explore Viridian Watch solo dungeon east of Evermore. The entrance to this dungeon is inside the wrecked stone tower, close to the lake.

Meddling Imperials disrupt the wheel.

Guide:
Found inside Razak’s Wheel public dungeon. Razak’s Wheel is full of level 40 mobs that come in groups of 5 or 6 members. There are epic bosses scattered all over so bringing a friend or two along will make this a much easier endeavor. Collectible is so well hidden behind some Dwemer machinery that I found it by pure luck. It is the room with Rkurdamz mini boss. Just check out the dungeon map screenshot to find it and make your life easier.

Skyshard is behind this piece of Dwemer machinery. You can’t see is shine until you go all the way behind that machine.

This is how well hidden the shard is.

Exact location of the collectible on Razak’s Wheel map. Player location marks the shard’s location. Marked on the big map of Bangkorai is the entrance to the public dungeon.
