Skyshards are scattered across every map of Tamriel in The Elder Scrolls Online. There are currently 321 Skyshards available to be discovered, with every 3 found awarding the player with a vital Skill Point. Collecting every available Skyshard at launch will award the player with over 75% of the total Skill Points in the game. Whether you’re racing to that next dungeon or preparing to engage the enemy in PvP, the Skill Points from collecting Skyshards are vital to your chance of success.
Despite initial reports, Skyshards are static items. This means they’re in the same location for every player, although they do vanish for a particular player once they have collected it. Listed below are the details for each Alliance and how many Skyshards each location contains.
