We are 36 hours away from the first permanent characters being created in Elder Scroll Online. We prepared a Tips & Tricks article a while back for Beta weekends that is still a very valid and valuable resource of information for those starting out for the first time. I wanted to share some more advanced tips that might not be that obvious at start. Here are top ten things you want to keep on your mind in the first 15 levels.

ESO Mountain Skyshard in Cyrodiil
ESO Mountain Skyshard is a special skyshard that is not listed among the others in your Journal. It has a special achievement associated to it which rewards you with 5 achievement points. It is located in Cyrodiil and can be found on top of a huge mountain. You can reach its position following two paths. One of them goes through one of three mountain tunnel entrances that take you up to the stone doors of White Fall Mountaintop, while the second path doesn’t involve any tunnels. You just need to follow an unmarked path toward the mountain top.
Skyshard is found on top of White Fall Mountain (Area of Interest POI), northeast of Arrius Keep, northeastern Cyrodiil.
Reaching the mountain top through tunnels
There are three entrances to mountain tunnels. One of them is to the west, the other one is to the east, and the last one is North. They are all close to the main road of that area.

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.
1. A scenic view of Evermore's bridge.
Guides to All Skyshards Prepared
It took hundreds of hours of gaming, over eleven hundred screenshots and loads of text, but we managed to get all of 320 skyshards Elder Scrolls Online will have at launch and provide screenshot guides and maps for each and every of them. Latest additions to the List of lands published on the website are:
We also added the last few missing Cyrodiil shards. Left to be published are Bangkorai locations and one last special shard in Cyrodiil that is so special it has an achievement of its own. These were held up due to some editing that needed to be done, but, rest assured, you will see them live on the website tomorrow.
We are just three days away from start of early access for Elder Scrolls Online. TESO Life has prepared skyshards, lorebooks, quests and a skill calculator for all of you to enjoy when the game starts. We hope that when you get stuck in the game you’ll find our pages useful. See you in game!
ESO Malabal Tor Skyshards Location Map
If you are member of the Aldmeri Dominion and you are between level 32 and 37 you are probably questing in Malabal Tor. Why not pick up 16 skyshards while there? To help you accomplish that you can use our map and screenshots bellow. You'll be glad to know that, unlike in many other zones, skyshards in solo dungeons here are no in the last room always, but much closer to entrance. Speed skill point collection you say? We wholeheartedly agree.
1. On an orbit of the storm sphere's home.
Lorebook locations for each zone
We deployed a quick update for our Lorebook Locations Database today. We added pages that will show all the lorebooks, that we were able to find, located in a single zone. This means that if you are collecting books by zone and you think you missed some you can see a map of that zone with each book marked in its location. You can also click on each name to get a full walkthrough for that particular collectible. You can also mark all locations of the book in that zone.
This feature was requested by some of you in the comments section and is provided in addition to screenshot guides for each book we found as well as the copy of the in-game interface you can find on the index page.
We still have some way to go to enter all the discovered items. We are at about 400 entries right now and about as many to go. We hope to have them all available by the time the game launches for everyone. We thought it would be cooler to provide you with locations without the need for you to run any addons or upload data. Instead, we wanted to do the legwork ourselves and let you guys enjoy the game without hinderance.
If you have any suggestions on how we can improve some of our site’s sections please feel to let us know.
ESO Shadowfen Skyshards Location Map
Shadowfen is a level 24-31 zone for players that chose to represent the Ebonheart Pact. Its swamps are filled with misteries among which are sixteen skyshard collectibles that will help you acquire 5 and 1/3 skill points if collected all. They are scattered across the land and solo/public dungeons and bellow you will find map locations as well as screenshot guides and guides for all of them.
1. Above the Mages' eye between the falls.
ESO Alik’r Desert Skyshards Location Map
Alik'r Desert has sixteen Skyshards for you to collect as you explore the story of the undead problem King Fahara'jad is facing. This arid, yet beautiful, land is full of great adventures and we are sure you'll have fun as you spend levels 31 through 37 here. Bellow are screenshot guides and walkthroughs for each shard and if you are having trouble with any of them feel free to let us know and we'll provide the information you need.
1. Sentinel of a domed tower.
It is hard to notice this skyshard on top of the guard tower in Sentinel. If you take a close look at the screenshot above you will see the Sentinel Wayshrine bellow the tower in the background. You can't actually get to the skyshard from up here. You have to enter the door on the ground floor of the tower to reach the top.

Gurlak
Quest Text
I discovered an Orc imprisoned in the dungeons below Salas En. He claims to have lived there for centuries, kept alive by Aldmeri enchantment. The stones of his prison glow with mysterious energies.
Quest Notes
Freeing Gurlak is a puzzle (many have failed resolving according to Gurlak). Too help the poor Orc you need to activate the twelve pressure plates on the floor in a particular order.
*SPOILERS*
The way to solve this puzzle is to look at the interactive panels on the walls of the chamber where Gurlak is. Each has a constellation on it matching the pressure plates on the floor. Each sign on the wall is labeled as the first, second, third and so on season. This tells you the order by which to activate the pressure plates. If you do not want to bother yourself with reading every sign on the wall this was the correct setup in the beta:

ESO Greenshade Skyshards Location Map
Greenshade is Aldmeri Dominion zone with sixteen skyshards. You will find players level 24-32 adventuring in this zone. Skyshards are scattered among open areas and solo dungeons as usual. We recommend you visit Rulanyil's Fall public dungeon while collecting shards and bring a few friends along so you are able to complete the two quests found inside. The reward for one of these quests is quite cool, so going that extra step to completing the public dungeon and its quests is worth it. We hope the location guides with screenshots you will find bellow will help you collect all the shards in Greenshade and if you have any feedback or need more clarification for any of them feel free to leave a comment.
