ESO Golden Pursuits Alik’r Awaits: crates, dolmens and free Sai Sahan costume

The Elder Scrolls Online launched a surprise Golden Pursuits campaign, Alik’r Awaits, celebrating Bethesda Game Studios’ reveal of The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel. It is live now and runs until November 10, 2026, according to the official ESO announcement.

How the campaign works

Activities focus on destroying Dark Anchors (dolmens) and killing foes in Alik’r Desert. ZeniMax points new players at the classic Alik’r dolmen run: join the largest player group in the zone for fast XP while the pursuit ticks. Open the Golden Pursuits section in the Activity Finder for the full activity list and claim rewards there before the campaign ends. Progress is account-wide, but unclaimed rewards disappear with the event.

Warrior Wave Crown Crates

Warrior Wave crates returned earlier in 2026 with Ra Gada / Redguard-themed collectibles (mounts, pets, furnishings, skill styles and more). Contents are random; ESO’s March crate blog still shows the pool. Completing seven activities unlocks the full 10 crates (2+3+5).

Crown Store extras

Redguard-themed items are back in the Crown Store for the celebration, including the Princely Dawnlight Palace, Alik’r Dune Hound pet and Sentinel Regal Guard armor pack. Full list: the updated November Crown Store Showcase.

Sai Sahan’s Dragonguard Attire is a free Crown Store collectible from Monday, November 9 at 10:00 a.m. ET through Monday, November 23 at 10:00 a.m. ET.

ESO Plus free trial until November 10

A separate limited ESO Plus trial is live until November 10 at 10:00 a.m. ET: Craft Bag, 30+ DLC packs, double bank space, 10% XP/gold and other Plus perks. Useful if you are clearing Alik’r activities on a free account.

Season Two: Echoes of Skyrim context is in our October ESO checklist. The Witches Festival is already over; see the Witches Festival 2026 guide. More on the ESO hub.
