Online:Transport

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.

Wayshrines[edit]

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 use the "Get Me Unstuck" command from the Help menu which will transport you to the nearest wayshrine for a fee. You can also choose to resurrect at the nearest wayshrine if you die; if you die in a Dungeon, choosing to resurrect at the Wayshrine will usually put you at the dungeon entrance, next to a small wayshrine-like structure known as a "Graveyard".

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 Travel[edit]

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 Shrines[edit]

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.

Boatswains[edit]

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 Dominion[edit]

Sugar-Claws can take you between Vulkhel Guard (Auridon) and Eagle's Strand (Khenarthi's Roost).
Scout Linimondil can take you between Skywatch (Auridon) and Haven (Grahtwood).

Daggerfall Covenant[edit]

Gilzir can take you between Daggerfall (Glenumbra), Port Hunding (Stros M'Kai), and Stonetooth Fortress (Betnikh).
Zihlijdel can take you from Wayrest (Stormhaven) to Sentinel (Alik'r), while Captain Carlier will take you back.

Ebonheart Pact[edit]

The Boatmaster can take you between Mournhold and Shad Astula in Deshaan once you obtain the necessary invitation.
Liezl can take you between Bleakrock Village (Bleakrock Isle) and either Davon's Watch (Stonefalls) or Dhalmora (Bal Foyen).
Muz-Muz can take you between Alten Corimont (Shadowfen) and Windhelm (Eastmarch).

Vvardenfell[edit]

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

Synda Imyam at Vivec City's Pilgrim's Approach can take you to Sadrith Mora. She can also take you off Vvardenfell to any of the three Alliance capitals.
Rinori Mathendis at Sadrith Mora Docks can take you to Gnisis, Vivec City and Tel Mora.
Bolnora Romavel at the docks below Tel Mora can take you to Sadrith Mora only.
Ranor Sadralo at the docks outside Gnisis can take you to Sadrith Mora only.

Caravaners[edit]

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.

Telvanni Peninsula[edit]

Nuleno Henim in Necrom can take you to Ald Isra.
Birer Salothan in Ald Isra can take you to Necrom.

Vvardenfell[edit]

Helseth Sadalvel in Vivec City can take you to Balmora, Suran, Gnisis and Tel Mora.
Nevos Sareloth in Balmora can take you to Vivec City and Gnisis.
Amili Yahaz in Gnisis can take you to Balmora and Vivec City.

Chapter Zones[edit]

Morrowind[edit]

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:

Sathasa Falen at Eagle's Strand on Khenarthi's Roost.

Davak Hlaren in Port Hunding on Stros M'Kai.

Dastas Arenim in Bleakrock Village on Bleakrock Isle

Taros Evosa can take you back from Seyda Neen to any starter island.

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

Synda Imyam at Vivec City's Pilgrim's Approach can take you to Sadrith Mora. She can also take you off Vvardenfell to any of the three Alliance capitals.
Rinori Mathendis at Sadrith Mora Docks can take you to Gnisis, Vivec City and Tel Mora.
Bolnora Romavel at the docks below Tel Mora can take you to Sadrith Mora only.
Ranor Sadralo at the docks outside Gnisis can take you to Sadrith Mora only.

Summerset[edit]

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.

Elsweyr[edit]

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 Navigators[edit]

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

Lara-Deesei at the Dock near the Lilmoth Guild Hall in Murkmire. She goes to the starter cities rather than the Alliance capitals.
Lienalel at the Inlet Slip outside Senchal in Southern Elsweyr.
Ilfete at Western Skyrim Docks outside Solitude in Western Skyrim.
Bastheladir at the Stables just outside Markarth in The Reach.
Alessiac Bargeron at the Docks outside Leyawiin in Blackwood.
Ri at the Plaza of Portals in Fargrave.
Marlena Delitian at the Docks at Gonfalon Bay on High Isle.
Antonin Maulinie at the marina in Vastyr on Galen. He only travels to Daggerfall and Gonfalon Bay.
Sheer-Weska at the Docks of Necrom on the Telvanni Peninsula.

Notes[edit]

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

Carts and Boats[edit]

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.

Base Game Zones[edit]

Ships in Vulkhel Guard (Auridon), Daggerfall (Glenumbra), and Davon's Watch (Stonefalls) can be used to travel between these three cities. You need to activate the steering wheel to travel, with the exception of the Vulkhel Guard to Davon's Watch route, which is initiated by activating a ship's launch boat.
Carts between Belkarth (Craglorn) and Elden Root (Grahtwood), Wayrest (Stormhaven), or Mournhold (Deshaan). You must have started the quest The Star-Gazers to use the cart from the alliance capitals.

Guilds and Glory[edit]

Carts between Orsinium (Wrothgar) and Vulhkel Guard (Auridon), Daggerfall (Glenumbra), or Davon's Watch (Stonefalls). You need to have access to Wrothgar to use them. Note that before completing Invitation to Orsinium, activating the cart in the alliance zones will actually place you near Merchant's Gate.
Boats between Abah's Landing (Hew's Bane) and Woodhearth (Greenshade), Wayrest (Stormhaven), or Windhelm (Eastmarch). You need to have access to Hew's Bane to use them.
Boats between Anvil (Gold Coast) and Vulkhel Guard (Auridon), Daggerfall (Glenumbra), or Davon's Watch (Stonefalls). You need to have access to the Gold Coast to use them.
Boats from Abah's Landing (Hew's Bane) and Anvil (Gold Coast) to Vivec City (Vvardenfell) or Shimmerene (Summerset), one way only. You need to have access to Vvardenfell or Summerset respectively.

Chapter Zones[edit]

All of these boats, carts and caravans run between the main city in a Chapter Zone and the Alliance Capitals, Elden Root (Grahtwood), Wayrest (Stormhaven), and Mournhold (Deshaan).

Baandari Caravans between Rimmen (Northern Elsweyr) and the Alliance Capitals. You need to have access to Elsweyr to use them.
Boats and carts between Solitude (Western Skyrim) and the Alliance Capitals. You need to have access to Greymoor to use them.
Boats and carts between Leyawiin (Blackwood) and the Alliance Capitals. You need to have access to Blackwood to use them.
Boats and carts between Gonfalon Bay (High Isle) and the Alliance Capitals. You need to have access to High Isle to use them.
Boats and carts between Necrom (Telvanni Peninsula) and the Alliance Capitals. You need to have access to Necrom to use them.

Story Zone Transfer[edit]

These routes primarily exist to link the two zones related to a single year-long story.

Caravans between Rimmen (Northern Elsweyr) and Senchal (Southern Elsweyr). You need to have access to both Elsweyr and Dragonhold to use them.
Carts between Solitude (Western Skyrim) and Markarth (The Reach). You need to have access to both Greymoor and Markarth to use them.
Boats between Gonfalon Bay (High Isle) and Vastyr (Galen). You need to have access to both High Isle and Firesong to use them.

DLC Zones[edit]

Boats between Lilmoth (Murkmire) and Vulhkel Guard (Auridon), Daggerfall (Glenumbra), or Davon's Watch (Stonefalls). You need to have access to Murkmire to use them.
Caravans and boats between Senchal (Southern Elsweyr) and Elden Root (Grahtwood), Wayrest (Stormhaven), or Mournhold (Deshaan). You need to have access to Dragonhold to use them.
Boats and carts between Markarth (The Reach) and Vulkhel Guard (Auridon), Daggerfall (Glenumbra), or Davon's Watch (Stonefalls). You need to have access to Markarth to use them.
Carts between North Markarth Wayshrine (The Reach) and Jackdaw Cove (Bangkorai). You need to have access to Markarth to use it, and must also have completed the quest Heart of Evil. This cart was added because the Border Crossing in Bangkorai does not otherwise connect to the Reach directly.
Boats between Lilmoth (Murkmire) or Senchal (Southern Elsweyr) and Leyawiin (Blackwood). You need to have access to Blackwood to use them, plus Murkmire or Dragonhold respectively.
Boats between Vastyr (Galen) and Daggerfall (Glenumbra). You need to have access to Firesong to use them. There is no connection between Vastyr and other mainland cities.^{[verification needed]}

Portals[edit]

Coldharbour[edit]

The portal at Cadwell's Hovel, south of The Hollow City, connects to a Fighters Guild hall in your alliance's home territory: Vulkhel Guard, Wayrest, or Mournhold.

Eyevea[edit]

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)

One portal leads to the Burn. The return portal is marked on the map as a Portal to Fargrave.
One portal leads to the Sever. The return portal is marked on the map as a Portal to Fargrave.
One portal leads to Leyawiin in Blackwood. The return portal is behind the Great Chapel of Zenithar.

An additional portal to and from Fargrave Outskirts can be found in a cave just south of Marbruk (Greenshade).

Necrom Bindery[edit]

The Necrom Bindery in Necrom contains two portals to Apocrypha.

One portal leads to Chroma Incognito. The return portal is marked on the map as a Portal to Necrom.
One portal leads to the Endless Library. The return portal is marked on the map as a Portal to Necrom.

Transition Points[edit]

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.
