Halls Ruined Further By Blue-skin Brutes Skyshard

Guide:
Southern Greenshade, southeast of Greenheart Wayshrine.

Found inside Carac Dena solo dungeon. This is an Ogre cave. They usually stand alone. Groups of two or more are rare. Collectible is, as in many other dungeons, inside the last cave room. Specifically, it is in the northwestern corner of the last room. This is a rather large room. If you are not looking for the shard you can easily skip it. The last room is guarded by Urumaz the Terrifying. This mob grants “Completed: Carac Dena” achievement upon death.

Find and enter Carac Dena solo dungeon.

Collectible is inside the last cave room.

A Pretender In Naril Nagaia Skyshard

Guide:
Southwestern Greenshade, east of nearby Woodhearth settlement and its wayshrine. In northeastern corner of Shademist Moors POI.

This shard is found inside Naril Nagaia public dungeon. Entrance and approach to this dungeon is on the southern side, close to water. Dungeon is populated with level 28 humanoid enemies. They usually come in groups of 2 or 3. This is one rather large public dungeon that is good for earning experience and gaining loot. The collectible is not in the last room as you might expect, so you might miss it on your way through the dungeon. It is located in the southwestern part of the dungeon. It is well tucked between a stone pillar with a metal top and a nearby wall, in the corner of the room.
Enemy that you want to kill for achievement and completion of Naril Nagaia is found in the last cave room. His name is Archmage Camaano. He stands on a large circular platform, next to Mercano’s Journal. This journal starts the quest “The Misuses of Knowledge“.

Find and enter Naril Nagaia public dungeon.

Under Root, But Hidden High Skyshard

Guide:
Western Greenshade, just south of Seaside Sanctuary and its wayshrine. North of Serpent’s Grotto Wayshrine.

Shard is found inside The Underroot solo dungeon. Entrance to this dungeon is approachable from north, but there are also two ways to reach it from south. Tunnel entrance close to Serpent’s Grotto Wayshrine or tunnel entrance north of Woodheaerth settlement (follow shore) lead both to a Binding Pool. This is the westernmost part of Greenshade. After you reach this point of the map continue north. Another stone entrance leads to the main road that connects this part of the zone with large island to the north. This is the area containing Seaside Sanctuary POI and The Underroot solo dungeon.

You’ll find the shard inside this cave on top of a large rock. This rock is located between the first and the second dungeon floor. As you enter The Underroot keep clearing your way toward the southern part of the dungeon. You are going to end up in a long tunnel. This tunnel leads to the second dungeon floor. Now start clearing your way toward the northern part of cave. As you reach its end you can spot the shine of the collectible in the distance. Exact spot on the second floor from where you should jump onto the rock with the collectible on it is at the entrance of the last cave room. This is the part of the cave where you can find Domina Ssaranth mob that, once killed, marks this dungeon as completed.

Find and enter The Underroot solo dungeon.

Batted Around In The Purring Lair Skyshard

Guide:
Eastern Greenshade, just north of Marbruk, southeast of Falinesti Wayshrine.

Harridan’s Lair solo dungeon contains the shard. You can reach its entrance from north. This is an easy solo dungeon. Level 30-ish tigers in groups of maximum two are your only obstacle. Collectible is inside southeastern part of the cave. Bright glow from cave’s ceiling enhances the glow of the skyshard. In the next cave room, you can find Razorclaw, which is the mob you need to kill for dungeon’s completion.

Find and enter Harridan’s Lair solo dungeon.

Collectible is in southeastern cave room.

Mined Up In A Barrow Skyshard

Guide:
Northern Greenshade, between Moarmer Camp (to the west) and Moonhenge Wayshrine (to the east).

Shard at this location is found inside Barrow Trench – public dungeon. The dungeon entrance is close to a nearby river. This is a location of map that is most rewarding with their shards. Just before you enter the dungeon you can grab an additional shard “No longer entrenched”. When you enter the dungeon, grab a “The Unfilled Order” quest from a delivery contract at the start of the cave. This quest leads you toward the last part of the cave. This is where the most of the public dungeon shards are found. In this case, this is not the same situation.

As you enter the dungeon, turn left at the first crossroad. Just before the door that helps you escape the last cave room, is the collectible we are searching for.

Find and enter Barrow Trench – public dungeon.

As soon as you’ve made couple of steps into the cave, turn left at the first crossroad.

Sneakily hidden from all eyes awaits the prize.

Outside The Harbinger’s Chamber Skyshard

Guide:
Western central Greenshade, northeast of Serpent’s Grotto Wayshrine.

Shard is found inside Rulanyil’s Fall public dungeon. You can reach the entrance if you follow the main road from south. This is a public dungeon with bigger groups of enemies and bringing a friend is a good idea. It also yields higher number of loot and exp. There are couples of strong mobs in the dungeon as well. It is probably the best to enter this dungeon at level 25+.

When you enter the dungeon, turn left and proceed toward the first room. Inside eastern part of this part of the cave, you are going to find the collectible.

There are two quests you can accept inside the dungeon. One of them is called “The Dead King“. It is given by Endarwe at the start of the dungeon. This quest has an awesome reward once completed. It gives the “Nanwen’s Crown” trophy. This trophy, when used, summons the ghost of Nanwen. The second quest is called “The Merethic Collection“. You can obtain it once you find NPC Dulini and talk to him. He sits in a corner of a passage that connects the room with the skyshard with the room to the south. Completing both quests you gain “Completed: Rulanyil’s Fall” achievement.

Find and enter Rulanyil’s Fall public dungeon.

ESO Quests Database

es quest db screenshot

We are proud to announce that we have made available our Elder Scrolls Online quests database. This is a searchable list of all quests found in ESO. We provide basic information about each quest, like quest level, zone, text and objective information. What sets our database apart is that some of the quests also contain starting NPC information as well as map marked location of where the quest starts in certain zones. We went one step further and provided full screenshot walkthroughs and guides for some of the quests (like Izad’s Treasure and Rending Flames) so if you get stuck while adventuring we hope these guides will help you resolve their problems quicker. If there are quests you would like us to provide guides for please leave a comment on quest’s page and we’ll attempt to accomodate you once the game launches and we have access to its content. We will try and provide starting location and NPC information for as many quests as we can, but since this is all manual work it might take a few weeks to enter all the information we collected during the beta period. Any suggestions and feedback are welcome, but in the meantime feel free to browse our Quests Database.

UPDATE: We managed to update the quests database with quest type data so you can now find all quests related to the Main Story or to the Mage and Fighters Guild.

How to Reset Skills in ESO

One of the most asked questions during the beta was how to respec my skills or how to reset my character attributes in Elder Scrolls Online. Due to only the first couple of zones being available during stress tests and only the last beta giving access to the tier 3 zone many people started thinking there is no way to respec in this game. Luckily for us they were wrong. There are conditions that need to be met for you to be able to respec though. You will have to be able to reach the tier 3 zone of your faction. Aldmeri Dominion will have to go to the Elden Root in Grahtwood zone. Daggerfall Covenant members will have to visit the city of Wayrest in Stormhaven zone. Those loyal to the Ebonheart Pact have to visit Deshaan and its main city Mournhold. You can reach these zones with a lower level character if you are careful and keep to the main road. This exploration might even net you some extra discovery experience.

Inside each of these cities you can find Rededication Shrine POIs. This is where you’ll find three shrines. One is used to reset your skills, one resets your attributes (magicka, stamina, health point distribution) and the shrine of Mara lets you use Ring of Mara to “Espouse your beloved”. There is a monetary cost for resetting either skills or attributes. This cost is equal to the number of skills/attributes that you are resetting and it is 100 gold pieces per point (I’d like to thank PETER GROSS for pointing that out in the comments section) goes up with the number of respecs you previously did and scales up with the level of your character. If you made a mistake early on (around level 10) and want to try another build or attribute distribution you can do this for around 1400 gold pieces. At higher levels the cost is considerably higher. At higher levels, though, you have access to so many skyshards and skill points from quests that you should be able to max out pretty much your whole skill tree. Just in case you made a royal mess of your skill choices you will still have the ability to reset them and start over. Here’s a short video showing map locations of all three Rededication Shrines.

Where Covenant Forces Pour Forth Skyshard

Guide:
Southern Grahtwood, just north of Gray Mire Wayshrine.

Found inside Ne Salas – public dungeon (torch icon). You can reach this area from the west. There is a small dirt road that leads to this place. NPC Cirmo that gives the quest “Passage Denied” is also found in front of the entrance of the public dungeon. Grab it before you enter.
Once you enter the dungeon proceed to the last part of the cave. The collectible is inside northern part of the last room. This is the room with four large metal spikes that come out of the ground. This area is also guarded by Lieutenant Khari. Killing him completes Ne Salas. Shard is hidden behind a stone statue.

Skyshards

ESO Morrowind Skyshard locations map has been added to the guide and you can find a detailed walkthrough with screenshots showing how to find all the new skyshards in Vvardenfell.

Skyshards are an integral part of ESO progression. The only way to be able to use all skills in your skill tree you need to acquire a lot of skill points. You can get these via getting levels and by finishing certain quests. There are also collectibles called Skyshards, which grant you one third of a skill point each time you find one. Collect three and you get a skill point to invest however you like. Each land of Tamriel has Skyshards to be collected and bellow you can find a map of Tamriel with each land linked to a special page containing map of ESO Skyshards and their locations with screenshots for each land.

UPDATE (April 2017): We’ve added four DLC maps with their Skyshard locations – Hew’s Bane, Gold Coast, Wrothgar and Imperial City.
UPDATE (May 2018): We’ve added two DLC maps with their Skyshard locations – Summerset and Clockwork City.
UPDATE (May 2020): We’ve added two DLC maps with their Skyshard locations – Southern Elsweyr and Western Skyrim.
