Antiquities: still possible after ESO+ trial?

Katheriah · July 2022

I'm thinking about unlocking the ability to scry leads+dig up antiquities on my 2nd account. Does anyone know if I will still be able to use the leads I find after the ESO+ trial is over?

If you don't have the Greymoor DLC unlocked on your account, then I would not expect those skill-lines to still be accessible once the free trial ends.

You can always find leads, but you will not be able to use them if you do not have eso+ or the dlc.

Probably the opposite. The skills should remain unlocked, but leads in DLC areas will be inaccessible. It is like the craft bag. It doesn’t disappear, but it gets less useful, because you can only take things out.

And all that is because it’s easier to program it that way..

In other words, dig them up now, or you will have to buy the dlc or eso plus.

No, I remember from the last trial, it stops working.

From what I can see online you will keep any antiquities you've dug up but lose the ability to scry or dig for new ones.

For some reason it's inconsistent across skill lines/DLC. For example the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood skill lines stay available so you can still use the Blade of Woe and other perks but you can't level them up any further (because that requires daily quests in the DLC areas). The Psijic Order skill line apparently stays available, but jewellery crafting is locked.

(You can also get permanent access to antiquities by buying Greymoor.)
