The Elder Scrolls Online introduces the Heroes of High Isle event, celebrating the ongoing Legacy of the Bretons narrative arc. This limited-time celebration commences on September 29 at 10 AM Eastern Daylight Time, concluding on October 11 at the same hour. Players have exactly thirteen days to participate in this community-driven activity that honors Breton culture and High Isle’s significance in the current storyline.
To engage with this event, adventurers must possess the High Isle Chapter expansion. This requirement ensures all participants can access the necessary zones and content. The event’s structure encourages both solo exploration and cooperative group play, accommodating various gameplay preferences.
The core objective involves visiting six distinct locations scattered throughout High Isle to secure the Pathfinder Achievement. Each site offers unique environmental storytelling and connects to the broader narrative. Upon completion, your contribution automatically registers with the community progress meter, which collectively determines reward unlocks for all participants.
High Isle Pathfinder
Community progress unlocks rewards at three milestone thresholds:
• 33% – Oak’s Promise Markings (facial adornments)
• 66% – Plant Yourself Emote (character animation)
• 100% – Ascendant Hoard Box (multi-item container)
• 100% – Appleback Salamander Pet (ESO Plus exclusive)
• 100% – Free Firesong DLC access
Oak’s Promise Markings
Appleback Salamander Pet
The Ascendant Hoard Box delivers substantial value with its diverse contents designed to enhance character progression and collection. This premium reward package contains:
• Undaunted Plunder and Undaunted Keys (dungeon content access)
• Outfit Change Tokens (appearance customization)
• Transmute Crystals (gear trait modification)
• High-level companion gear
• Including legendary-quality companion jewelry
• High Isle item sets (zone-specific equipment)
• Unattuned Crafting Stations (set crafting locations)
• An Ascendant Lord Statue (housing decoration)
This event marks the inaugural release of legendary-quality (gold-tier) Companion Gear in The Elder Scrolls Online. Critical reminder: To obtain Companion equipment rewards, you must maintain an active companion throughout your participation.
Initiating your journey requires acquiring the complimentary event quest “The Island Tour” from either the Crown Store interface or the Impresario’s tent location. The Impresario typically positions their tent in major faction capitals, providing convenient access for all alliance members.
Strategic planning significantly enhances efficiency. Allocate approximately 2-3 hours to complete all six location visits, accounting for travel time and potential combat encounters. Group coordination reduces completion time by 30-40% through shared waypoints and coordinated movement.
Common mistakes include attempting locations out of optimal sequence, neglecting to activate your companion before claiming rewards, and overlooking the community progress tracking mechanism.
