ESO Fighters Guild: Locations, How To Join, Skill Line

The ongoing conflict between the three main Alliances in The Elder Scrolls Online requires you to join at the start of the game. Nevertheless, you can become a member of several joinable factions or Guilds, irrespective of your chosen Alliance.

The Fighters Guild, along with the Mages Guild, Psijic Order, Dark Brotherhood, and Thieves Guild, is one of the factions you can join and, as a member, gain access to their Skill Line for its unique abilities. We've explored everything about the Fighters Guild, including its locations, how to join, and its Skill Line in ESO.

Where To Find The Fighters Guild In Elder Scrolls Online?

Joining the Fighters Guild will occur when starting in Tamriel, depending on your Alliance selected, as your initial location will differ. If you're with the Aldmeri Dominion, locate the Fighters Guild southwest of the Vulkhel Guard Wayshrine in Auridon, while the Daggerfall Fighters Guild is south of the Daggerfall Wayshrine in Glenumbra.

Lastly, for the Ebonheart Pact, the Fighters Guild is in eastern Stonefalls at Davon's Watch, west of the Fish Stink Tavern near the docks. These locations are the earliest you can find the Fighters Guild, which you'll need to unlock first by completing its Guild-related quest.

Once completed, more Fighters Guilds will be located throughout Tamriel, including one found deep within Necrom City. Nevertheless, they do have their headquarters situated in each of the Alliance cities, which can be accessed later during the Main Story Quest as they can be found in Elden Root, Grahtwood (Aldmeri Dominion), Wayrest, Stormhaven (Daggerfall Covenant) and Mournhold, Deshaan (Ebonheart Pact).

The easiest way to locate the Fighter Guild is by bringing up your in-game map, zooming in over an area, and looking for a sword icon. This is where you'll be able to find the Fighters Guild, which you can enter the building to complete the bounty and daily quests; however, if you have yet to join, you'll need to find an NPC to start its questline.

How To Join The Fighters Guild In Elder Scrolls Online?

If you wish to join the Fighter's Guild, you'll need to locate an NPC, which, depending on your Alliance, is found in the three starting locations. Aicessar can be found at the Fighters Guidehall in Vulkhel Guard, Basile is seen at its Guildhall in Daggerfall and chat with Hilan in Davon's Watch.

Speaking to either NPC triggers their Invitation quest, where they'll welcome you into the Guild, and you'll need to locate their Guildmaster, Sees-All-Colors. This Guildmaster can be found at the Guildhall in either Alliance city: Vulkhel Guard, Daggerfall, or Davon's Watch, where you can continue the Fighters Guild questline by doing these quests:

• Anchors from the Harbor
• The Dangerous Past
• The Prismatic Core
• Proving the Dead
• Will of the Council

Once the Fighters Guild questline is completed, collect your rewards; by then, you will have access to its adjacent Skill Line. If you wish to build a Stamina-dependant build in ESO, the Fighters Guild Skill Line will be useful, which works great with the Dragonknight class.

ESO Fighters Guild: The Fighters Guild Skill Line Explained

With the Fighters Guild Skill Line unlocked, you can determine how to level up this skill tree and acquire its respective abilities. This can be done by defeating specific monsters (Daedra and Undead) and destroying Dark Anchors or Dolmens.

The best location to find Daedra and Undead is the Skyreach Catacombs dungeon in Upper Craiglorn, Hammerfall, which can be done solo or in groups. Regarding Dark Anchors or Dolmens, there are 15 known locations where you can destroy these Dark Anchors or Dolmens, and you'll need to destroy three anchors within a specific area.

If you're starting, you can find Dark Anchors in Auridon, Glenumbra, and Stonefalls, with other notable locations in Grahtwood, Stormhaven, and Deshaan. However, the best repeatable location to destroy these anchors is at Alik'r Desert, which can be found near the Aswala Stables, Myrkwasa, and Tigonus Wayshrines.

How you level up the skills within this Skill Line depends on how much experience you'll earn from defeating Daedra and Undead and destroying Dark Anchors or Dolmens. Nevertheless, the prerequisite for defeating Daedra and Undead contributes to leveling the Skill Line and not the abilities.
