Leveling up the Fighters Guild in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a rewarding endeavor for those seeking to enhance their combat prowess and delve deeper into the world of Tamriel. In this guide, we will explore efficient methods to swiftly level up the Fighters Guild, from initiating the questline to maximizing your progression with daily quests.
How to Level Up the Fighters Guild Fast
The easiest way to quickly level up the Fighters Guild in ESO is to kill Undead, Daedra, Vampires, and Werewolves or to close Dark Anchors throughout Tamriel. An effective strategy that combines all of these sources is participating in Dolmen grinding, such as the Dolmen Trio in the Alik’r Desert. This Trio of Dolmens is close together and refreshes quickly.
For more veteran players, if you are already leveling up another character and want to simultaneously increase your Fighters Guild rank, seek out grind locations abundant with undead and zombies. Popular spots like the Skyreach Catacombs, or public dungeons in Coldharbour, Deshaan, Eastmarch, and Shadowfen all have massive amounts of Undead to kill within.
How to start the Fighters Guild Quest Line
To begin the Fighters Guild questline, visit the Fighters Guild in various starter towns based on your alliance. Look for the sword symbol on your map to locate these guilds. Speaking to the designated NPC in each location will grant you access to join the guild. It is important to unlock the Fighters Guild skill line as early on as possible, otherwise, you will miss out on any potential experience gained towards the Fighters Guild skill line whenever you kill Daedra, Undead, Vampires, or Werewolves.
Fighters Guild Locations in ESO
Most significant towns in Tamriel have a Fighters Guild, though to start the quest, you MUST go to your Alliance starting zone.
Davon’s Watch Fighters Guild
Vulkhel Guard Fighters Guild
Daggerfall Fighters Guild
Fighters Guild Daily Quests
For additional progression, players can complete the Fighters Guild daily quests offered by Cardea Gallus in the central hub cities of each alliance. These quests typically involve destroying three dark anchors in various zones, excluding Cyrodiil.
Upon completion, you will receive Fighters Guild Merits containers, where you can typically find consumable items (foods and potions), Style Motifs from the Draugr style, and various style materials. You also receive Fighter Guild experience towards leveling up the skill line.
The real benefit of doing the Fighters Guild Dailies is for leveling your Companion’s Fighter’s Guild levels, as this is the only way outside of event reward items to increase their level in the Fighters Guild skill line. Remember to have your companion out and active before turning in the daily quest, or they will not receive the XP reward!
