    Just like other MMOs, dungeon is an important part in the Elder Scrolls Online. Dungeons in ESO have a little difference of others. In most players’ opinions, dungeons are used to rush gear and items. But it is a little different in ESO, sometimes players could get collectors items or trophy as rewards. If you want to know more about dungeons in ESO, Mmogah is glad to explain them for you.

    The Elder Scrolls Online Public Dungeon and Group Dungeon Guide

    In Elder Scrolls Online, dungeons are special instances that you or a group is able to interact with privately, that is without interference from other players. They are essentially scaled-up quest locations, and contain one or two quests, several bosses and monsters that roam in large packs. All dungeons contain Skyshards, chests, and at least one collectible book.

    Here Mmogah is going to say something about the public dungeons and group dungeons.

    Public Dungeons

    Public Dungeons are large and expansive dungeons filled with enemies, bosses and a couple of quests. There is one public dungeon in each zone, except for the Starter Islands and Cyrodiil. Public dungeons are open to everybody at the same time and will not scale to your level. You will often meet other players inside completing quests. The enemies inside these dungeons often come in large packs which can make exploration difficult without fellow players to help you. Public dungeons often come with a main quest and several side quests which take you throughout the dungeons and often give trophy or collectors items as a reward.

    There are several bosses in public dungeons which upon slaying them all will reward you with an achievement. Once you have completed all of the public dungeons in an Alliance you will unlock a new dye color specific to your Alliance. Public dungeons also feature a Group Challenge – a difficult boss with several ADDs – which is best completed with a few other players. The Group Challenge rewards a Skill Point upon completion so it is worth the time to complete. It can be difficult to find the Group Challenge and the boss requires activation – often by interacting with an object in a room such as a flame or an item.

    Group Dungeons

    Group dungeons are difficult dungeons which are completed with a group of 4 players and will scale to the group leader’s level. Group dungeons come in Normal Mode and Veteran Mode – these can be toggled in the Group Window (P). Normal Mode can be completed at any level and is the less difficult option. Veteran Mode is much more difficult and can be completed at Veteran Rank 1 and above. Group dungeons require cooperation and teamwork in order to be completed successfully and take much longer to complete compared to a Delve or even a public dungeon. Group dungeons also feature a quest which can be completed whilst you go through the dungeon and will reward you with a Skill Point.

    If you have a group friends in game, it is interesting to farm in a group dungeon. Of course, joining a good guild is a great option too. Different from other MMOs, players in ESO may be a little icy about dungeons. If you couldn’t set up a team, you’d better join a guild. Guild members could help you more in game. Of course, Mmogah is glad to be your friend too. We will share more guides and news of ESO regularly.
