If you like dungeons, run the DLC dungeons.

Dark brotherhood is quite different to the base game, maybe give it a try, too.

It depends on what you want to do.

The Murkmire event is currently going on, so you can pop in there for tickets, a stronghold, and double resources nodes.

If the Justice System is your thing, start the Dark Brotherhood quest to get the incredibly useful Blade of Woe.

If dungeons are your thing, give the DLC ones a try on normal first or just run them as they come up in the pledge rotation. If trials, there are always groups forming up in Craglorn to PUG the DLC trials like Cloudrest. With Orsinium, you have access to Maelstrom Arena if you want to challenge yourself in a solo arena.

If questing is your thing, Orsinium is a fantastic standalone story. Morrowind, Clockwork City, and Summerset together make up the Daedric Wars story arc. (Cadwell's Silver and Gold is all base game and can be done without ESO+)

If crafting is your thing, you can get certified for Jewelry crafting in Alinor, Summerset.

Do skill lines go away when the sub is up? Will I still retain the Blade of Woe? Psijic? Thieves Guild ? Jewelry Crafting? Transmute?

You keep skill lines (including the Blade of Woe and the ability to open thieves troves), but you can't use jewelry stations if you don't have Summerset access, even if you've gotten your character(s) certified.

Transmuting isn't a skill, so you'd need to have access to a transmute station in somebody's house after you lose access to CWC.


My advice is less about content to run, but here's my list of priorities when an ESO+ free trial comes around:

1. Dump mats from all characters into the craft bag.
2. Visit any DLC zones and dungeons I haven't been to for the free swag.
3. Dye costumes.
4. Load up houses with furnishings to the double-capacity cap.
5. Get the Blade of Woe for any crime-friendly characters.
6. Take all characters to Abah's Landing to unlock thieves trove access.
7. Do enough of the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines to unlock their respective sweet costumes.
8. Farm any gear from DLC dungeons and/or trials that I want.
9. Do Summerset up to the point in the Psijic quest line where you can see Psijic portals.
10. I'm not hardcore enough for vMA but that's a thing you could do if you want the weapons.
11. Maybe look at what DLC achievements have cool dyes/titles/costumes that you want.

For questing, Orsinium is a great place to start since it's the earliest story DLC and as Varanis said it's excellent standalone content.

Beyond that yeah it depends on what you like to do.
