With the launch of a new expansion for The Elder Scrolls Online, more unique content was added to the game. The latest High Isle DLC takes you to the land of Systres Archipelago, where you will experience a brand new story arc.
You will participate in the journey by creating your RPG character, which you will level up as you progress further in your adventure. Naturally, many players will be looking for an easy way to improve their character's stats as soon as possible, which is why this guide will cover the locations of all Skyshards that you can find on the new map.
What Are Skyshards?
Skyshards are light-blue crystals that are located all around the map. These are your best bet at gaining the most Skill Points that you can get to use on your character.
The game requires you to grow your character for the challenges you will face during the dungeon runs. You will need to upgrade every weapon in your possession and the armor you're wearing before you can take on the higher-level dungeons. To do so, you can collect 18 Skyshards scattered around the map in caves, dungeons, and other areas. Most Skyshards are on the island to the south of the map.
Before you continue, it's worth mentioning that you need to progress through the main story quests to unlock some areas. Also, other areas like Public Dungeons will require you to join a party with friends before you can collect the Skyshards in these dungeons.
Below is the map of the two islands with the locations of all 18 Skyshards marked on it.
