A map showing available boat and carriage travel routes throughout Tamriel.

There are a number of different transportation and travel services that can be used to get across Tamriel in Elder Scrolls Online.

WayshrinesEdit

Wayshrines provide access to the fast travel network in the game, and you can travel for free from any wayshrine to any other one that you have previously discovered. You can also teleport from anywhere in the wilderness to a wayshrine you have discovered for a small level-dependent fee, but the fee dramatically increases after you teleport, and takes five minutes to reduce to its normal level. If you get stuck anywhere due to a bug you can request 'help' which will transport you to the nearest wayshrine for a fee.

Wayshrines can also be used to travel directly to the Harborage or certain dungeons, though they are one-way trips. There are also wayshrines in Eyevea, The Earth Forge, and your alliance's two Gate Keeps in Cyrodiil, which can be used to travel from these locations to any other wayshrine. These are also one-way only.

Fast TravelEdit

 
Wayshrine Recall

In the game, there are numerous ways of fast travelling: using a wayshrine, joining another player, traveling to a player house, and recalling to a certain wayshrine. Note that none of these methods are available within Cyrodiil. The fourth method can be used anywhere, and requires using the "/stuck" command.

  • Direct wayshrine-to-wayshrine travel is the most common means of fast travel. To do so, simply activate any wayshrine, and you can travel to any other wayshrine you have previously discovered. This includes several one-way wayshrines which you can travel to but not from - such as those at The Harborage, Group Dungeons, and Trials. There are also a few wayshrines you can travel from but not to, including those at Eyevea, the Earth Forge, and Cyrodiil. Direct wayshrine travel is instant - you can even do so while being attacked provided you're quick at choosing your destination.
  • To join another player, open up your friends list, your group window, or your guild roster(s), and find their name. Right-click it and select "Travel to Player". This is only allowed if the player is in a zone you have access to and they are online. (E.g. they are in a DLC zone which you do not have access to, or the player is in a group instance and you are not in their group, you cannot travel to them.) If the player is in your group, and in a group instance, you can travel to them regardless of Alliance. Note that this will take several seconds to transport you, during which you must not be interrupted. If you are attacked while attempting to teleport, it will not work. Note that you will not arrive right next to the player, but at the closest wayshrine instead. This method can be used to discover new wayshrines.
  • You can also travel to a player house, either your own or the primary residence of another player in your guild or friends list (provided they have allowed access). This can be done from anywhere except Cyrodiil, at no cost. You can then exit the house and you will have been transported to its front door, provided it is not in a DLC zone you do not have access to. (This currently includes only houses in Vvardenfell, as the other DLC zones do not yet have any purchasable houses.)
  • Additionally, you can transport yourself directly to any wayshrine from pretty much anywhere (except Cyrodiil). To do so, just open your map screen, select a wayshrine you have discovered, and choose to travel to it. This will incur a gold cost, which increases if you do so again a short time after. Like travelling to a player, there are several seconds during which you will be interrupted if attacked.
  • Finally, there is the "/stuck" command you may type in the chat window, which you can use as a last resort if you get trapped somehow. This also costs gold, and will transport you to the nearest wayshrine, whether you have previously discovered it or not. If you are inside a cave, you will instead be transported directly to a shrine near the cave's entrance. If you are in Cyrodiil, either outside or in a delve, you will be transported to the wayshrine at one of your alliance's Border Keeps.

Transitus ShrinesEdit

The Transitus Network provides a similar service to wayshrines in the contested region of Cyrodiil, the main difference being that you can only travel to shrines held within keeps that your alliance controls, and only then if those keeps are connected by the network to your current location.

BoatswainsEdit

  Boatswains can be found at some harbors, and can be asked to take you to other locations within an alliance's territory. The travel is free of charge.

Aldmeri DominionEdit

Daggerfall CovenantEdit

Ebonheart PactEdit

VvardenfellEdit

A number of characters on Vvardenfell function as Boatswains, despite being labelled as Navigators:


NavigatorsEdit

  

  Navigators can be found in the main city of each zone, and offer limited travel to the other main cities, both within an alliance and to the other alliances, as shown below. The travel is free of charge.

Alliance ZonesEdit

NavigatorsEdit

  The Dominion Navigator is Selandilwen.
  The Covenant Navigator is Azoufah.
  The Pact Navigator is Falvis Raram.

Chapter ZonesEdit

MorrowindEdit

  The main Vvardenfell Navigator is Captain Jenassa. She can be found alongside the Alliance Navigators in most main cities, plus near the stables in Orsinium and can take you to Seyda Neen or Vivec City. Synda Imyam can take you back from Vivec City to any Alliance capital. In any city where Captain Jenassa is not present, an unmanned boat near the Alliance Navigator can take you to Vivec City.

Other Navigators can take you from the Alliance starter islands direct to Seyda Neen:

On Vvardenfell, the following Navigators can get you around the island, functioning more like Boatswains:

SummersetEdit

  The Summerset Navigator is Ciryelda. She can be found alongside the Alliance Navigators in all main cities, as well as on the docks of the three Alliance starter islands and in Orsinium. She can take you to Alinor. From Alinor Docks, she can take you back to the Alliance capitals.

ElsweyrEdit

  The Elsweyr Navigator is Zemmarga. She can be found at a Baandari Caravan near the Alliance Navigators in Elden Root, Wayrest and Mournhold, and will take you to Rimmen and back. You can also directly interact with one of her Caravans in each location to make the trip.

Other NavigatorsEdit

These navigators only appear in one location, and can take you from Chapter and DLC Zones to the Alliance capitals.

NotesEdit

  • Navigators were first introduced in One Tamriel (Update 12).
  • Boatswains function similarly, but usually travel to fewer locations.


Carts and BoatsEdit

  

  Some caravans, carts and boats can be used to travel to a certain destination by activating them directly, without speaking to a boatswain or navigator. Quest-related carts, caravans and boats are not listed here.

CaravanersEdit

   

  Caravaners can be found in Caravaner Towers in most cities and settlements in Vvardenfell and Telvanni Peninsula, and offer limited travel to the other towers. The travel is free of charge.

VvardenfellEdit

Telvanni PeninsulaEdit


Plaza of PortalsEdit

  The Plaza of Portals in Fargrave  contains portals to the Deadlands  and Blackwood  as well as a Navigator named Ri.

Mages Guild PortalsEdit

Once you complete the Mages Guild questline, one guild hall in every alliance zone will offer a portal to the guild hall in Eyevea.

From Traveler Falls in Eyevea, you can take a portal to a specific guild hall in each of the zones of your home alliance:

  Vulkhel Guard (Auridon), Elden Root (Grahtwood), Marbruk (Greenshade), Vulkwasten (Malabal Tor), and Rawl'kha (Reaper's March)
  Daggerfall (Glenumbra), Wayrest (Stormhaven), Shornhelm (Rivenspire), Sentinel (Alik'r Desert), and Evermore (Bangkorai)
  Davon's Watch (Stonefalls), Mournhold (Deshaan), Stormhold (Shadowfen), Windhelm (Eastmarch), and Riften (The Rift)

Transition PointsEdit

Border Crossings, or Transition Points, are locations where it is possible to cross between Zones on foot. Most of these crossings are unmarked places, in which case descriptive names not found in the game are used here.

MountsEdit

Mounts enable swift travel across large swaths of land. Riding speed can be upgraded once per day for a flat fee with the help of Stablemasters all over the world. Many can be purchased from the Crown Store, but there are plenty to be earned through gameplay. Of note, the Sorrel Horse is granted to players through the Level Up Advisor upon reaching level 10 for the first time.

NotesEdit

  • Prior to the release of One Tamriel with Update 12, the cart to Craglorn and the ships between starter cities required your character to have reached Level 50.
