The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor – Getting Started and Kyne’s Aegis Preview

The Elder Scrolls Online’s Greymoor chapter will be launching on May 26, 2020 for PC and Mac, and on June 9th for Xbox One and PlayStation 4. And if you’d like to know how to begin your new TESO adventure once it does go live, you should check out this official article. Here’s an excerpt:

ARRIVING IN WESTERN SKYRIM

Once you’ve acquired the Chapter (buy Greymoor here), you can travel to Western Skyrim in several ways.

Travel by Wayshrine

If you’re exploring the new zone(s) with an existing character, the easiest way to get to the zone is to travel there using a Wayshrine. To do so, open your map, select the Western Skyrim zone, and then select the Solitude Docks Wayshrine icon (it should be the only one available).

Begin the Greymoor Main Quest

You can pick up the Greymoor main questline by navigating to your Collections UI, selecting Stories, and then Chapters. From that menu, you can select Greymoor, acquire the first quest titled “The Gathering Storm,” and begin! The quest will point you toward the boat you need to take to Solitude. Note that if you’re eager to begin Greymoor’s main storyline, we highly recommend checking out the Greymoor Prologue first, now available for all ESO players.

Play the New Tutorial

You can also get to Western Skyrim by creating a new character and completing the new Chapter tutorial. Once complete, you will begin your adventures in the new zone.

Now that you’re in Western Skyrim, you can travel to Solitude for the Chapter’s main storyline, or explore as you wish. Don’t forget, there are no level requirements to check out the new Chapter and zone, both new and veteran players alike can explore the home of the Nords!

BECOMING AN ANTIQUARIAN

If you’d like to join the scholars, historians, and archaeologists of the Antiquarian’s Circle and start digging up Tamriel’s hidden relics and treasures, here’s how you can unlock the new Antiquities System:

• Visit the Antiquarian’s Circle within the city of Solitude in Western Skyrim (right next to the Bards College).
  • Check your map within Solitude to see the Antiqurian’s Circle indicated with a unique icon.
• Speak to Verita Numida to receive the Antiquarian’s Eye tool, a tutorial quest, and leads.
• Complete both quests available from Verita.
• Begin hunting down Antiquities!

JOURNEYING TO BLACKREACH

If you’re most interested in exploring the subterranean world of Blackreach, you can begin your journey into this world beneath the world in a few ways.

Find a Dwarven Lift

Three Dwarven Lifts are scattered throughout the Western Skyrim zone, granting you access into the caverns beneath. You’ll likely discover these for yourself as you explore, but if you are in a hurry to travel underground, we recommend scouting out the area south of the Solitude Docks.

Find the Cave Entrance

If you’re taking on the zone’s main questline, you’ll discover a cave entrance to Blackreach early in the storyline. While the quest takes you to this location, it is possible to find and use this entrance before that point in the story if you keep an eye out, too!

Once you discover Blackreach, you’ll unlock at least one Wayshrine, so you can get in and out of the subterranean realm with ease. Simply open up your Western Skyrim map and click on the rune in the upper right-hand corner to reveal the map of Blackreach: Greymoor Caverns, including all Wayshrines, Interesting Locations, and other points of interest you may have discovered.
