You can find Skyshards in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) throughout the game world, even in the PvP area Cyrodiil. We will tell you where to search.
What are Skyshards? Skyshards are very useful in The Elder Scrolls Online. By finding these, you receive one additional skill point for every three shards that you can use for your build. This way, your hero quickly improves and can take on more dangerous monsters.
You can even find Skyshards in the PvP area Cyrodiil. Here, however, you must be particularly cautious not to run into some hostile players. Nevertheless, it is worth searching for the shards.
We will show you on maps where to find the Skyshards and give you the hints you need to pay attention to.
In each alliance zone in Cyrodiil, there are 15 shards. These not only grant you skill points but also achievements.
By the way, you can already pre-order our special issue on ESO Blackwood. More about it here: Get our special issue on ESO Blackwood – Everything about the new expansion of the MMORPG.
