How Golden Pursuits Work in ESO
When a Golden Pursuit is active in ESO, you’ll find it in the Group & Activity Finder under the "Golden Pursuits" section (if you’re using a mouse and keyboard) or in the Activity Finder (if you’re on a gamepad). These menus will even glow gold to make it easy to spot! You can also access Golden Pursuits quickly by clicking the special tile in the Announcement Panel that pops up when you log in
(Note: This tile only appears while a Golden Pursuit is active.)
Progress Made Easy
Participating in Golden Pursuits is simple, just play! Whether you’re running dungeons, crafting, battling in Battlegrounds, or taking on other activities, your progress counts toward Golden Pursuits. As soon as you complete a listed task, you unlock a reward. These tasks often fit right into your normal gameplay!
Your progress is automatically tracked, but don’t forget, you need to manually claim your rewards from the Golden Pursuits menu. All progress and rewards are shared account-wide, though certain rewards (like gold) stay with the character that earned them.
Important: When a Golden Pursuit ends, the menu (and any unclaimed rewards) will disappear. Be sure to claim everything you’ve earned before time runs out! You can always check how much time you have left in the Golden Pursuits menu.
Golden Pursuits Rewards Overview
Completing Golden Pursuit activities earns you both progress and special rewards. There are three types of rewards:
1. Activity Rewards
Earned by completing specific Golden Pursuit activities. You can pin an activity to your HUD to easily track your progress and the rewards linked to it.
2. Milestone Rewards
These unlock when you complete a certain number of activities. Milestones won't block your progress, claim your rewards anytime during the Pursuit!
3. Capstone Rewards
The ultimate prize! Once you complete the required number of activities, you’ll earn the Capstone Reward. Even after claiming it, you can still finish any remaining activities or milestones you haven't completed yet.
A Pursuit on Your Terms
Most Golden Pursuits offer more activities than you need to claim the Capstone reward. Pick the activities you enjoy most and progress your way!🎯
