World Events in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO)

There are several types of World Events in he Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) and these are Dark Anchors, Abyssal Geysers, Dragonscours, Harrowstorms, and Oblivion Portals to Atoll of Immolation.

World Events are open to everyone, designed for a large number of players, events repeated in a specific place at a specific time.

To participate in World Events, you may or may not be joining a group or raid, you just need to be in the World Events area and be active.

You have to wait from several to several dozen minutes to start the next Event, depending on the location. The start of the next World Event is announced by a visual and sound effect visible from a distance (or visible on the map as in the case of Dragonscours).

After the World Event is over, you need to collect your reward, depending on the intensity of your activity. You can find her most often in the center of the location.

ESO Oblivion Portal World Event

Early experiments of Mehrunes Dagon, Oblivion Portals tear through the fabric of the planes as Dagon's cultists attempt to breach a pathway to Nirn. The forces that appear on the portal's outskirts represent a mere scouting expedition, while the true challenge lies inside the portal itself-within the Deadlands Atoll of Immolation. To complete an Oblivion Portal, you will need to find Mehrunes Dagon's general at the center-most island and defeat him, the Havocrel Duke of Storms.

Oblivion Portals are not marked on the map. They appear randomly throughout Blackwood and The Deadlands. When a portal opens, it will only remain in this state for a limited time. Once you enter the portal, however, you can stay within Atoll of Immolation until you complete your goal or choose to leave via wayshrine or by traveling to another player.
