I Do Not NEED To Go To Cyrodil...

First problem, Cyrodil is a PvP zone and I do NOT PvP. Can I genuinely travel Cyrodil without needing to engage in PvP of ANY kind? I doubt it.

I've completed all the PvE achievements in Cyrodiil and I think I got killed maybe twice. It's a huge zone. If you avoid areas that are under attack, you won't see anyone.

Second problem, I am Daggerfall Covenant and the dig site is on the FAR east (right hand) side of the zone. I've only been to Cyrodil twice and each time that area is NOT under Daggerfall control and I have never been to that side of the zone.

See above. Having to ride so far is a pain, but unless you're unlucky, you won't have a problem. An alternative is to enter the no CP campaign every day and wait for a day when DC is dominating the map. That way you should be able to port quite a ways over.

Third problem and probably the biggest one I have - I cannot recall out of Cyrodil unless I am at my faction's base camp. I know I can port within control points which might get me close or even back to Daggerfall base camp. But, I want to go dig up this treasure and then IMMEDIATELY port out of the zone.

You can do this by entering one of the Imperial City campaigns. You'll arrive in your faction's sewer base and can exit out one of the doors. You should end up in where you were (the PvE zone) when you entered Cyrodiil.

I don't PvP either but I have spent hours in Cyro harvesting plants and such for mourning dew, as well as doing all of my fishing achievements. Not once was I interrupted by a player.

Even if I had been, there's no penalty other than I guess time. You could hop campaigns if you need to go back to a specific spot, but I guarantee you they probably aren't there to pick off people off the main road.

Get yourself some baby alts of the other two factions. Only need to get to level 10. You'll never have to worry about treasure maps being too far again or care about map control during events. You'll rarely ever be bothered when not at PvP objectives

In order?

1. Sure. I seldom run into other alliance players in Cyrodiil unless I'm looking for them. I've been ganked a few times over the years, but more often than not I just load in, do whatever I'm planning on doing, and wayshrine back out again. I'm usually loading in to the Blackreach Campaign, but any campaign will work for a Treasure Map, so load into whatever is the lowest population and go dig it up.
2. Similar to #1, avoid keeps and resources and you'll pretty much have the rest of the zone to yourself.
3. Find a nearby resource (mine, logging, or farm) or town that's under another alliance's control and let the NPCs kill you. Your equipment doesn't degrade from this, it doesn't even cost a soul gem, and you can port right back to your home keep and use the wayshrine.

Yes, you can

Yes. It's a big place. Stay away from keeps and towns and you'll be lucky to see anyone else. I did all the PvE content back when Cyro had a much higher population. I never saw anyone except for in a couple of delves and when I needed to do the Dark Anchor at Bruma.

I finally got around to going after this treasure map. All of you were right. It was a breeze. Deep behind enemy lines and never encountered another player once. Didn't even see another player although the map showed a lot of activity. {icked up a few skyshards, too. LOL!

A few things you can do. Pick a campaign that is empty you can see the populations of each faction on each campaign. Sneak in stealth near keeps or if you see enemy players to remain hidden. Pick a campaign that your faction controls most of the map is also a helpful tip. As others have mentioned, you can queue into imperial city from cyrodiil, and vice-versa for easy movement back to the base.
With these techniques and some time spent you can then pick up scouting quests from the gate npc's or do town quests in Bruma, Vlastarus, or Cropsford.
Once you have some AP, or if you have spare gold you can get cyrodiil repair kits and help your faction out by traveling to the keeps your faction owns and repairing doors, walls, and posterns. Your faction will appreciate the help!

...but I would like to. You see, I have had a Cyrodil Treasure Map in my Inventory for about a year now and I would like to go to Cyrodil and dig it up just to see what actual treasure it holds. But I have a few problems.

First problem, Cyrodil is a PvP zone and I do NOT PvP. Can I genuinely travel Cyrodil without needing to engage in PvP of ANY kind? I doubt it.

Second problem, I am Daggerfall Covenant and the dig site is on the FAR east (right hand) side of the zone. I've only been to Cyrodil twice and each time that area is NOT under Daggerfall control and I have never been to that side of the zone.

Third problem and probably the biggest one I have - I cannot recall out of Cyrodil unless I am at my faction's base camp. I know I can port within control points which might get me close or even back to Daggerfall base camp. But, I want to go dig up this treasure and then IMMEDIATELY port out of the zone. As far as I know, this is impossible. The ONLY workaround I have found for getting out of Cyrodil other than using the wayshrine at my faction's base camp is to queue for a dungeon, wait for the queue to pop, enter the dungeon and then leave the dungeon. I did this once on my second visit to Cyrodil and when I left the dungeon I was back in the "real" world and not stuck in Cyrodil.

I understand that some folks enjoy PvP and I say, "More power to you. It's important to do something you enjoy." I do NOT enjoy PvP. At all. Which is why I avoid it religiously. And I think those that enjoy PvP are grateful to me for NOT doing PvP but I could be wrong. /shrug

So. Any useful suggestions that might make a trip to Cyrodil to dig up this treasure quick and easy followed by a quick and easy exit? Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you.

1. Go to Ravenwatch (the most empty campaign on most servers)
2. Take Transitus teleport to nearest controlled keep
3. Ride horse to location and dig
4. Press 'L' and queue for the Imperial City; accept invite, get ported; immediately leave IC back to wherever PvE location you were before entering Cyrodiil

Yes you can. Just queue to Ravenwatch (the no-cp campaign), barely anyone goes there. And even if by miracle you find anyone from opposing faction, there is high chance they do the same thing as you and will try to smurf away from you.

Want to go base back quickly? Lower your hp with Equilibrium or Blood Altar and jump of any high place then select your base as respawn point.

For whatever reason want to do it in populated campaign? Equip Darloc Brae, Night Terror and Ring of Wild Hunt then "run-sneak" entire way to the objective. Your detection range will be so low that without detect pots or skills other players would have to literally stand on top of you. This is my preffered way to do ticket dailies while Mayhem event, just pick the Scouting board mission, sneak to the objective and die to go back to base.
