It seems like there is never a lack of things to do inThe Elder Scrolls Online, especially as chapters and expansions have added up over the years toinclude the vast majorityof Tamriel. One of the many activities players (and guilds) like to do is hunt down Skyshards.

Skyshards are nodes of energy found in every single zone and dungeon in the game. In the Stonefalls, a starter zone for the Ebonheart Pact inTheElder Scrolls Online, there are 16 Skyshards to collect, many of which are easily found during the zone’s main questline.
What Are Skyshards For In Elder Scrolls Online?
Skyshards inThe Elder Scrolls Onlineare used to gain Skill Points. While leveling players gain a set number of Skill Pointsat each level and milestone, but the total number of Skill Points caps out at Level 50. For every three Skyshards a player collects, they gain an additional Skill Point.

It’s not as useful early on as leveling-based Skill Points willfill most of your Skill Linesno problem. At Max Level, though, it’s the only way to get new Skill Points, as leveling your Champion Point level only increases the quality of loot you’re able to acquire, not the number of Skill Points you have to spend on abilities and passives.

There are 16 Skyshards in the Stonefalls, nine of which are found out and about in the world, and seven of which are found in either solo or public dungeons throughout the zone. Thelargest clusterof Skyshards to collect issmack dab in the middle of the map(Skyshards 3, 11, and 12).
If a player collects all 16 of these Skyshards they will gain a total of five Skill Points and have one out of three for the next. Keep in mind that Skyshards now pop up on the compass and zone map,so pay attentionand you may find yourself accidentally discovering some of these Skyshards without going out of your way.
