Helping establish a new town.
You can find this skyshard in Vlastarus area. There are many houses and wooden carts, a couple of barns, one tavern, and a stone tower in this area. There are a couple of NPC quest givers in the area as well. Collectible you are looking for is on a wooden cart located between two barns.
Tooth of Jone or Jode.
Skyshard can be found on a boat, at the dock of Lunar Fang Docks POI. These docks are on a side of a river that connects central Cyrodiil and the southeastern lake. Do not try to swim in this river because the fish will eat you alive. Dying from fish is actually a good thing because you get an achievement “Slaughtered” when they defeat you. Upon reaching the docks you can notice many Lunar Fangs around it. These are hostile creatures that turns into Werewolfs as they detect danger. When they turn their health bar fills up. Just because of this it is pointless to burst damage them straight from the start. In order to reach the collectible you need to jump from the docks above on top of the boat.
Jumping into the river, in order to swim to the collectible, is not that smart … but it does yield an achievement.
Ruined spire peering north to the Tower.
On top of the largest tower in Homestead Ruins. You’ll recoginze this tower due to its top being destroyed. There are Homestead creatures defending this area. There are many patrols that can make your life miserable if you do not pay enough attention (or are going on your own). Pressure of battle that may occur at any moment near this location may pose a problem. Despite all the pressure and dangers, rushing toward the shard is not a wise decision. Once you get to the collectible you will probably have the best view in Cyrodiil, since there is a way to climb even above where the shard is. Also, great for spotting enemies 😉

You can pull one of the group members with range abilities. Skyshard we are looking for is inside the northernmost cave room. It is on the top of a large wooden platform. Do not rush toward it, because many Black Daggers patrol this specific part of the cave. They can easily spot you even if you are out of their sight. If you are close enough, whether they can see you or not, they will still go after you. Take it easy, and clear them out before heading to the level of the platform where the skyshard is hidden.

Skyshard is hidden inside the last Nisin Cave room. There are wisps inside the cave that patrol the area. Try not to pull them while cleaning the way towards the collectible. In my case, there was one strong creature in a tunnel between two largest Nisin Cave rooms. I was able to pass him by without alerting him. If you are up for a challenge, try defeating him after collecting the skyshard. It is possible to split apart a group of mobs by pulling one of the members, with a range spell.

The first room can pose the problem as it is rather small, and you can’t clearly notice the first ogre patrol. This patrol walks between two largest cave rooms.
