if you dont own Blackwood, will you be able to claim High Isle companion

Wow

if you dont own Blackwood, will you be able to claim High Isle companion
Like Summerset, if I dont own that one, I cant access Jewelry skills from any zones

I would guess that, since there are probably quests attached to them, that you will.

You can't get JC without Summerset because the guy who certifies you for it is only in Alinor. You can't get the current two Companions without Blackwood because their quests are there. So long as the quests for the new Companions are in High Isle, you should be able to get them regardless of owning Blackwood or not.

I believe the new companions should be completely separate from the Blackwood DLC. Although companions are a feature that was first introduced with Blackwood, each companion is completely independent of any others, and the only reason you need a given expansion would be so you can access the specific zone where a given companion is found, along with any other zones where the companion's story quests are located-- and IIRC, for Bastian and Mirri those were base game zones, not DLC zones. I can't imagine that ZOS would introduce any new companions who required some other DLC beyond whatever chapter they were introduced in.

No. The tables themselves are locked. The cert guy is just for jewelry writs.

Correct. The new Companions - Ember and Isobel - only require the High Isle Chapter to unlock; the entire system is not tied to Blackwood.

Moreover, if you get certified for jewelrycrafting writs during an ESO+ sub or trial that expires, you can’t continue to access the stations until you reacquire access to Summerset. The writ certifier is located in Summerset because you need that DLC to access jewelrycrafting, not the other way around.

Don't recall losing access to BoW when I let sub drop.
Never bought any DLC for NA since my mains are on EU
and was still able to go dip-dip-stabbing.
Did they change this in the last couple of years?

From the UESP page on ESO+:

If you have played DLC and choose to cancel your membership, you will no longer be able to access those areas unless you renew it or purchase the DLC separately, but you will still keep any items and achievements you earned. All DLC skills that you have unlocked (such as Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Psijic Order, etc.) will remain accessible, but you will be unable to progress the skill trees further.

I believe that when High Isle launches, Blackwood will become DLC and accessible to ESO plus subscribers. So you can get all 4 companions

i think the point being made was you need dark brotherhood DLC in order to unlock blade of woe, if you already unlocked it then you are set regardless if you dont have it and sub lapses

I mean it's the same as jewelcrafting. Unlock it when you have access to the zone and you'll always have it, with or without having the dlc/chapter.
