Golden Pursuits

For those new to The Elder Scrolls Online, the Golden Pursuits system is basically a series of themed, limited-time activities that allow players to earn special rewards.

Progress in Golden Pursuits is simple. All players need to do is perform activities to unlock rewards. The activities can be just about anything that can be done in the game like running dungeons, crafting items, and fighting in Battlegrounds, to name a few. Once the described task has been performed, the activity is considered completed and the reward unlocked.

For rewards, there are three different categories. There’s activity rewards, which are tied to specific Golden Pursuit activities. Meanwhile, milestone rewards are those that are tied to the overall progress. Finally, capstone rewards are earned when players meet the required activity completion count of the active Golden Pursuit.
