Elder Scrolls Online Lost Treasures of Skyrim Event

Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) Lost Treasures of Skyrim event is in full swing after the official announcement of the next DLC pack, Markarth. This will be the second major installment in the Dark Heart of Skyrim year-long story adventure within Greymoor, the latest expansion pack.

The Lost Treasure of Skyrim event was announced on Sept. 19 with the official tweet going up almost immediately after Dark Heart year-end preview stream on Bethesda's Twitch channel. It launched a few days later on Sept 23, uniting players once again with the common goal of unlocking brand new cosmetics, pets, and housing for their efforts.

Elder Scrolls Online Lost Treasures of Skyrim Event: Rewards

The Lost Treasures of Skyrim is all about the new Antiquities scrying feature introduced in Greymoor. Players can take on the role of an archaeologist and archivist of some of the most important and powerful artifacts in Tamriel's history. The more players uncover these items, the further the community progresses as a whole.

Progressing the event bar unlocks three tiers of rewards—each increasing in value.

The first reward is the Horror Within body markings which can be applied to the whole body and face of a player's avatar. The description invites these players to "stain [their] body and face as foul as [their] soul." It's likely the game is referring to the vampires featured as Greymoor's main antagonists.

The second reward is the Orchidfall Vale Fawn non-combat pet. A callback to the popular Dawnguard DLC from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Vale fawn and Vale deer were unique animals introduced within the new area—the Vale. Similar to the unground Blackreach, certain areas of the Vale had a penchant for bioluminescence and its creatures reflected that accordingly.

The third and final tier includes two rewards: the Antiquarian's Alpine Gallery and the very first unique houseguest NPC, Antiquarian Phedre. It's clear this housing area is supposed to mimic an artist gallery with spaces to display all the artifacts found while participating in the event. Phedre, however, is a completely new type of NPC that players will have the chance to play around with in their houses.

At the time of writing, the even bar is 68% full. This means both the Horror Within body markings and the Orchidfall Vale Fawn non-combat pet have already been unlocked.

All rewards will be released for free into the in-game Crown store at the end of the event. More information can be found on the Lost Treasures page of the ESO website.
