Auridon is a beautiful zone inThe Elder Scrolls Onlinewith multi-colored foliage and an overwhelmingly elven feel to everything. There are 16 Skyshards in this zone, most of which are found just off of main roads. Some, though, are much harder to find without a guide.
Skyshards and Skill Points
Skill Points inThe Elder Scrolls Onlineare the main way a player gains new abilities, passives, and even Racial traits. After reaching level 50, though, players no longer get Skill Pointsbased on their experience gain. This is where Skyshards come in.

When a player collects three of these Skyshards, which are found en masse inevery zone in Tamriel, they gain a Skill Point to spend – even at max level.The Elder Scrolls Onlinedescribes the location of every Skyshard in the in-game Adventure Guide, and when getting close to one, an icon will appear on your map and it will shoot out a beam of light signifying its location.

There are 16 Skyshards in Auridon, like other beginner zones inElder Scrolls Online. Nine of these are found out in the overworld of the zone, while the other sevenare located somewhereinside Auridon’s various solo and public dungeons (the locations of which are marked on the map above).
Skyshards in Auridon are spread out pretty uniformly with no large prominent clusters that make them easy to collect. It’s best to simplystart in the south of the zone at Vulkhel Guard and make your way northward. Keep an eye on your compass and map for the icon, and remember that Skyshards will light up when you get close.
