Skyshards & Lorebooks guide

Dulfy

Hey everyone and welcome to the early access and launch of ESO! I have compiled a number of skyshards and lorebooks guide for those who like to hunt them down and collect them.

Collecting skyshards will grant you skill points you can use to purchase/upgrade abilities while collecting lorebooks will increase your rank within the Mage's Guild. Collecting skyshards is a bit easier due to the very obvious visual clues and the hints given by your achievement window. Collecting lorebooks is a bit harder and require a good eye since they are a bit more hidden. Luckily. I have compiled guides & maps to both for those that like a little assistance.

Thanks! Btw, do lorebooks no longer have a message show up stating that they are lorebooks? I thought that I have run into a few already, but maybe they are just normal books (that have a yellowy glow)?

They should, lorebooks have a purple glow.

Amazing work!

I am trying to pick up all skyshards from each zone as I level, to avoid having to go back. This is gonna come in super handy.

I did finally come across two lore books earlier, but one didn't give me the Lore Book banner though.

Do lorebook locations change? I have found several different websites on lorebook locations and not all of them coincide. I also noted some locations here and there on my own, but when I go to those locations on different characters, lorebooks are not always there.

Some lorebooks are in more than one location and if you pick a book up it vanishes from all locations since you can only pick up each book once.

Yup seems they doubled the amount of lorebooks on live. Now I am seeing 2 copies of almost all lorebooks

Hoping to have the Coldharbour one out asap this weekend

Might seem kinda noobish but...I dont see the point in lorebooks..if I see one I read it but dang...seems they dont really do much? Sure they help with mage guild but I wish they helped with more than that like more of an exp gain?
