I have at least one character that has collected all available skyshards currently available in-game

mayasunrising

I was just curious after reading this thread (https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/458740/collecting-skillpoints-again-and-again/p1) how many of us have actually made it to the point of having all the skyshards.

If four of them weren't locked behind gates in Cyrodiil, I'd have them all. I don't know how to get those last four. *shrug*

FlopsyPrince

No (But I'm Working On it)

I suspect I will never get all the PvP ones though and thinking of doing the same on multiple alts is disconcerting....

Missing a few mainly cyrodiil deep enemy territory and a few in the alt faction zones I haven't got around to yet.

Siohwenoeht

No (But I'm Working On it)

The latest alt I levelled hasn't been outside the DC zones, just started doing craglorn, hasn't finished the harbourage quests and has 23 EXTRA skill points after fleshing out both pve bars and both pvp bars. Skill points are abundant and easy to get without grinding anything.

My main is less than 15 away, and it's entirely overland PvE tidying up.

My alts? Eh, not so much.

Danikat

I've got a very long way to go, but my plan is to eventually get them all on at least one character.

It's easier than I expected. You need to wait until the gate is open and there's no enemy players near it, but that's all.

You can tell if it's open by looking at the symbol on the map - it will show an arch with a hole in the middle instead of an arch with a net pattern across. I think that happens if the two forts on either side of it are controlled by different alliances. The gate will still be in the enemies colour, and will still be guarded, but it will be open.

Then you just...ride through. It sounds wrong but don't gallop - if you're galloping you run down your stamina and then it's easier for them to knock you off. Because the guards are NPCs they don't exactly attack quickly and they'll only follow you a short way from the gate so even without upgrading your mount you can make it through. (I did it easily on one with about +5 speed and +7 stamina - but when I galloped I was knocked off).

Enemy players are the complication of course, because they'll actually chase you and are far more likely to use effective attacks. You can reduce the risk of running into anyone by waiting until all the activity is over the other side, so the majority of people are using the other gate, but it may just come down to trying again.

The same way people steal the scrolls: the relevant Keeps need to be captured to open the Gates.

Okay, I have every single one except 3 skyshards, but they're quest-locked and I just don't want to do the quests there yet lol.

I've gotten them on different characters before though.

RogueShark

Yes (The One Ring's Got Nothin' On Me!)

Only one character, my main. IDK if I'll ever feel the need to get every last one on any of my seldom-played alts, just because they don't need 'em.

@Starlock, the gates open if the nearest Keep has been captured by another alliance. There are a lot of guards at each open gate, but you can usually make it through with lots of heals and/or invisibility, or a group of people from your alliance.
Like everything else in Cyrodiil, it's a grind. You have to keep checking your campaigns at quiet times of day to see if someone has opened one or more gates that you need, then do a mad dash to try get there in time. It helps if you can go to a low-pop campaign too.

AcadianPaladin

Don't really know (or care I suppose). Don't have (or want) blade of woe. My primary three characters are each sitting on between 35 and 65 unused skill points.

SugaComa

Yes (The One Ring's Got Nothin' On Me!)

I'm at level 45 in cyrodil and once I hit 50 I will have every skill point the game currently offers on my character

I really can't bare to do that *** multiple times ... I hope the introduce the ability to link characters so you can choose to either have them share everything or be playable as individual unique characters

BlueRaven

Yes (The One Ring's Got Nothin' On Me!)

Back before the champion point system I had 3 characters that had them all at that time. (Cyrodil included) I have not kept up the pace on all 3, but I do have one with them all.

Until someone told me how to do it I always assumed it required a large group and/or siege equipment to get through the gate and I'd have to be running with a group as they broke through to get those sky shards.

Played since launch, never managed to get even half of them. This time I will do it. ...eventually.

Got them all as far as I know.

Not if you raise crafting skills....

I finished all the skyshards currently in the game on character number 3 over the weekend. *shrugs*

I have enough that I can do all crafting lines and just about anything else I could want on a single character.

Those 4 behind enemy lines can be a trial to get, but it does feel pretty good once you get them. Consider joining a 30 day campaign

Use invis potions. That's what I did.

Already have a max crafting toon...

I have all but the ones in enemy territory in Cyro. I doubt I'll bother collecting them as I have enough spare on my main to finish the last couple if crafting lines.

And besides, sneaky and stabby blade of woe

I voted kinda wrong, but i have 2 Chars which got almost every shard, it would be no problem to get the rest, but i just dont need them atm. 2 other chars got over 300.

Not that hard to get them. Just make sure you are assigned to a campaign, check cyro map sometimes and when you see that a gate is open go to cyro, take some invisibility potions, equip shields or heal skills, run through to gate and take the shard.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

I have every skyshard save the last DLC or 2 on 4 toons. At some point, you just dont need that many.

Easiest way to get the 4 in cyro behind gates is to join a dead campaign that your faction dominates. You can usually just take a nice ride on your horse and grab them all in about 20 minutes.

I think I'm missing ~20 or so Skyshards to complete... but I couldn't be bothered to go places

I have plenty enough skill points for what I need atm, that's the reason mostly

Sylvermynx

No (But I'm Working On it)

I'm not working at it real hard.... I get the easy ones on every character. The harder ones (delves) wait until I have a reason to take someone in a given delve. No doubt I'll never get the dungeon ones, or most of the quest locked ones. Not sure about messing with the Cyrodiil ones - I can foresee a lot of dying trying to do that.

theskymoves

I don't do PvP (apart from keep repair and getting killed a lot by other factions), so having All! The! Skyshards! is one achievement I'm particularly proud of:


The dye for the achievement is nice, too.

Likewise, the All! The! Quests! achievement:


*sprains arm patting self on back*

Iluvrien

No (But I'm Working On it)

The PvP ones are dead to me. I have no interest or desire to get them if it means going to Cyrodiil.

Elsonso

Nope. 5 years in and still have a few left to go!
