The Elder Scrolls Online is an enormously extensive MMORPG with huge amounts of quests. Each DLC and add-on brings additional tasks and stories with it. It’s easy to feel a bit lost. The zone guide is intended to provide better orientation.
A welcome help
What is the Zone Guide? The Zone Guide, or area guide, offers you great assistance when you are unsure what to do next in the game. The Zone Guide shows you the following:

- Selected achievements
- Completed narrative quests
- Activated way shrines
- Completed dungeons
- Visited interesting places
- Already visited notable places
- Visited set workshops
- Visited Mundus stones
- Completed public dungeons
- Completed dolmens/independent geysers
- Defeated leaders in the open world
- Activated sky shards
- Activated books
ESO is becoming more comfortable
What is the purpose of the guide? There are players who want to achieve everything in a game area. Every quest should be completed, every book found, and every dungeon explored, as well as every achievement reached.

However, since ESO has now reached such a large scope, it’s not easy to keep track of everything. If you want to return after a break and don’t know where to go next, just click on the “Start narrative” button in the zone guide under activity search. It will show you where to go next to continue the story. This is very important as part of the new ongoing narrative structure introduced with the “Season of the Dragon”.
Additionally, the zone guide displays all locations and activities from the aforementioned list through buttons. However, as can be seen – only from already visited and activated places and things. This means you must have found dungeons or sky shards first. But if you want to revisit them, you should not feel lost in the world of Tamriel anymore. You see how many things are still undiscovered, but not where they are located.
When will the Zone Guide be introduced? The guide will be implemented with the new DLC Wrathstone, which will be released in the first quarter of 2019. This marks the beginning of a new story that will continue in the Elsweyr add-on and further DLCs this year.
To whom is the guide directed? According to Bethesda, it is meant to help all players. Both newcomers and veterans who may feel a bit lost.
How is the Zone Guide received by players? Players are already looking forward to the guide as it simplifies many things. Moreover, it is optional to use. Those who prefer to play without it can continue to do so. But generally, the community is very curious about how this feature works and how much easier it will become to follow the story and find visited places again, as well as see what still needs to be discovered.
