The Elder Scrolls Online is rewarding trips to the Alik'r Desert with a limited-time Golden Pursuits campaign celebrating Bethesda Game Studios' recent Tamriel reveal. Alik'r Awaits runs until November 10 and offers up to ten Warrior Wave Crown Crates. Check out the official post down below:
The campaign centers on destroying Dark Anchors and killing monsters within the Alik'r Desert. Its full activity list is available in the Golden Pursuits section of the in-game Activity Finder, with three reward milestones tied to the number of activities completed.
Completing two activities awards two Warrior Wave Crown Crates. Five completed activities earn another three crates, and seven completed activities award five more.
Warrior Wave Crown Crates were introduced earlier in 2026 and contain collectibles inspired by the Ra Gada.
The official promotion sends mounted adventurers across a rocky desert toward a circular portal suspended in the sky by giant chains. A blue beam extends from the portal, while another shot follows a caravan past ruins and obelisks. Later, a rider reaches a circular runestone platform surrounded by magical fire, lightning and blue energy before an explosion fills the area with dust.
A Free Costume Arrives Next
Sai Sahan's Dragonguard Attire will be available free from the Crown Store beginning Monday, November 9 at 8 a.m. MST, or after the planned maintenance finishes. The costume remains claimable until Monday, November 23 at 8 a.m. MST.
Redguard-themed Crown Store items have also returned as part of the celebration. The selection includes the Princely Dawnlight Palace home, Alik'r Dune Hound pet and Sentinel Regal Guard armor pack.
The celebration follows the official name reveal for The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. The reveal includes a passage about a lost future and an undone victory credited to Yazar, Moth Priest to High Queen Iradne of Hammerfell, in the year 4E 206.

Skyrim Content Expands During Season Two
ESO is currently in Season Two: Echoes of Skyrim, which continues until January 27, 2027. Greymoor and Wolfhunter have joined the base game, including Western Skyrim, the Antiquities system, the Kyne's Aegis twelve-player Trial and the original group versions of Moon Hunter Keep and March of Sacrifices.
The two Wolfhunter dungeons also have solo versions with encounters adjusted for one player and support for a Companion. Optional Meted Misfortunes increase the challenge; Warm Welcome, for example, doubles incoming damage. Activating up to three Misfortunes produces the highest Dauntless difficulty.
Markarth moves into the base game on November 9, bringing the zone and storyline that conclude the Dark Heart of Skyrim saga. A separate Skyrim-themed Golden Pursuits campaign also begins that day.
Solo dungeon rewards include Undaunted Crests, exchanged with Veya Thenim at an Undaunted Enclave. The rewards grow with the difficulty and include new two-piece monster sets: masks drop from the final bosses, while shoulders are available from Veya. Style pages, busts, trophies, Nowhere Keys and pieces of Companion equipment are also among the rewards. The Companion drops include chest pieces and two-handed melee weapons.
Veya's inventory includes Cultivated Cryptpod alchemical reagents and style materials. These solo versions retain the stories of the original group dungeons while changing mechanics designed for several players, including the scope and strength of enemy abilities. Some mechanics are specifically aimed at a player's Companion.
Season Two also offers free and premium Tamriel Tome rewards. The free selection includes 8,000 Seals, 9,000 Trade Bars and the Maarselok Slayer weapon style, while premium rewards include the Maarselok Slayer Mammoth mount and Azureblight Recall customized action.
Update 52 is scheduled for January 19. Its planned changes include increased furnishing limits for selected homes, further Companion head and face customization, area-of-effect pulls and taunts, and a minimap interface option. A new PvP season begins alongside that update.
