Order For Playing (my helpful guide)
RisenEclipse
✭✭✭✭✭
This is only for anyone who wants to play the game by the order of release, and is my own way of playing through the content. ESO however, is meant to be able to start anywhere you want, at any chapter you want. But if you would like to have a little bit of an order to it, then you can follow this guide I made up! Usually what I do is do the main quest for each area, then clear the map before I move on (locales, skyshards, dungeons, ect). If I am missing anything, or got something wrong, please do not hesitate to let me know and I will edit it!
Before doing anything, I would join the Mage's Guild and Fighter's Guild. I have the actual completing of them further down the list. But as you progress through the alliance zones, you should be able to level them all to max and do the whole questline for each relatively quickly once you're done with the alliances.
1) Main Quest (First quest giver is Hooded Figure)
-Note that every 10 character levels, your character can get a new quest for the main quest-line. Just go to any city and talk to the prophet when his projection appears outside the city gate.
-In order to unlock the final quest for the main quest, you need to complete the Coldharbour zone.
2) Alliance Zones
-Depending on what Alliance you choose, will depend on what order you complete each of the Alliance's Zones.
If you chose PACT
First zone is Bleakrock Isle, then Balmora, Stonefalls, Deshaan, Shadowfen, Eastmarch, Rift, and Coldharbour.
Then you start Cadwell's Silver. Which is, Stros M'Kai, Betnikh, Glenumbra, Stormhaven, Rivenspire, Alik'r, and Bangkorai
Finally you do Cadewell's Gold. Which is Khenarthi's Roost, Auridon, Grahtwood, Greenshade, Malabal Tor, and Reaper's March
If you chose Daggerfall Covenant
First zone is Stros M'Kai, Betnikh, Glenumbra, Stormhaven, Rivenspire, Alik'r, Bangkorai, and Coldharbour
Then you start Cadwell's Silver. Which is, Khenarthi's Roost, Auridon, Grahtwood, Greenshade, Malabal Tor, and Reaper's March
Finally you do Cadewell's Gold. Which is Bleakrock Isle, then Balmora, Stonefalls, Deshaan, Shadowfen, Eastmarch, and the Rift.
If you chose Aldmeri Dominion
First zone is Khenarthi's Roost, Auridon, Grahtwood, Greenshade, Malabal Tor, Reaper's March, and Coldharbour
Then you start Cadwell's Silver. Which is, Bleakrock Isle, then Balmora, Stonefalls, Deshaan, Shadowfen, Eastmarch, and the Rift.
Finally you do Cadewell's Gold. Which is Stros M'Kai, Betnikh, Glenumbra, Stormhaven, Rivenspire, Alik'r, and Bangkorai
3) Cyrodiil
-This is not about PvP. This is about getting the dungeons, skyshards, PvE quests done in this area. PvP can be done at anytime during this list, and is not included in it.
4) Mage's Guild
-Quest giver found in any Mage's Guild. Talk to Valaste.
-For every level you reach in the Mage's Guild skill (you get the final quest at Mage's Guild lvl 5), will get you another quest. You should see a quest giver in front of any guildhall.
5) Fighter's Guild
-Quest giver found in any fighter's guild. Talk to Sees-All-Colors.
-For every level you reach in the Fighter's Guild skill (you get the final quest at Fighter's Guild lvl 5), will get you another quest. You should see the most annoying, irritating, migraine inducing, NPC named Bera Moorsmith shouting at you whenever you even remotely come in range of the guildhall. She will chase you down too, because she has to be the most irritating person in the world.
6) Undaunted
-To join the Undaunted: If you are AD speak to Turuk Redclaws in the Salted Wings Tavern in Vulkhel Guard. If you are DC, speak to Mighty Mordra in The Rosy Lion in Daggerfall. If you are EP, speak to Kailstig the Axe atThe Fish Stink in Davon's Watch. All of these locations are inns located in your alliance's starting city.
-At this point you should already be past level 50. So you can start doing undaunted dungeons! The order for this is purely in what order it is listed in game, as these dungeons all came out at the same time. Do normal one's first, and then go back and do vet when you feel you are ready for it. This is going to be same for al trials and dungeons listed further.

This was actually posted in General before it was moved here by mods lol In fact I had no idea the other threads existed as the player guide section gets looked over very rarely. I originally posted it because there was so many people questioning both in game and in other threads in general on how to play the game properly (there was a guy in general who thought blackwood is where you started the game). Further attesting to the fact that this section of the forums... doesnt get looked over at all.0 -
Thank you for the write-up. I am just starting to play. A lot to this game for sure, I was wondering, if I start in chronological order, do you still get the companion to level them up, or do you wait until they were introduced to the game? I am really, really new, so I am not sure when they were brought into the game?
Thanks0 -

Companions are introduced in the latest content. So to get Mirri and Bastian, you need to do their delve quests in Blackwood. To get the new Companions coming in High Isle, you'll need to go there to do their quests.
So if you want a Companion from the beginning, you will need to do that quest out of chronological order. It's not a big deal, though.1
