What Is A Crafting Set Station?
A crafting set station is a crafting area that allows you to craft a specific set piece of armor. Often there are additional requirements, like a number of traits that must be researched before you can make an item of a specific set. While you can make generic pieces at crafting set stations, these are the only areas where you can the specific set that is listed. There is one exception – attunable crafting tables (which are ‘tuned’ to replicate set stations) can be obtained and placed in houses for use.
On your map, crafting set stations appear with a blackened crafting icon when you are close to a location. Once the set station has been visited, the icon turns white.

What Is A Delve?
A delve in The Elder Scrolls Online is in essence a small dungeon. Delves usually contain a few enemies, at least one ‘boss’, and a skyshard. Delves can generally be completed solo. If you are a new player, you may want to explore delves with a friend. Most delves have an associated quest that you can get just inside or near the entrance. This quest is more a side story to the main quest of the area but does offer rewards for completing it.
On your map, delves appear with a blackened single torch. Once the delve is completed (by defeating the boss or bosses), the delve icon turns white.

Survey Maps (also called Survey Reports) are maps to a collection of six high-yield harvest nodes that only exist if you have the corresponding survey. Some maps can be sold, some are character bound, and others only allow you to maintain one in your inventory. If you have multiples of the same map, the nodes do respawn but you must go a short distance away for it to do so. If you go away and the nodes do not respawn, then you haven’t traveled far enough.
Survey Map locations do NOT appear on your map. You can slot the maps for quick access to compare your location. The following icons will be used to denote the type of survey on this map.

What Is A Treasure Map?
Treasure Maps are rewards that show the location of special chests that can only be seen when you have the map in your inventory. You must travel to the specific location, dig the dirt mound, and then a chest will appear for you.
Treasure Map locations do NOT appear on your map. You can slot the maps for quick access to compare your location.
This map uses the chest icon to denote the location.

Reaper’s March Summary
Reaper’s March, a captivating zone in The Elder Scrolls Online, lies at the crossroads of Elsweyr and Valenwood, serving as a contested frontier for the Aldmeri Dominion. This diverse region blends the lush, verdant jungles of the Bosmer with the arid savannahs and rocky badlands favored by the Khajiit, creating a striking landscape of vibrant greenery, towering mesas, and ancient ruins.
The city of Dune, a bustling Khajiiti trade hub, anchors the zone, its colorful markets and moonlit temples buzzing with merchants, pilgrims, and rogues. The region’s beauty belies its volatility, as ongoing tensions between Bosmer and Khajiit cultures, coupled with external threats like the Colovian Imperials and Daedric incursions, make Reaper’s March a powder keg of conflict. Players traversing its paths encounter everything from feral beasts and bandits to sacred sites and forgotten Ayleid ruins, each steeped in the zone’s layered history.
The main storyline in Reaper’s March plunges players into a struggle to unite the region’s disparate factions against a growing supernatural threat tied to the Daedric Prince Molag Bal. Quests explore themes of cultural mistrust, political maneuvering, and spiritual resilience, tasking players with mediating between Khajiit and Bosmer leaders while thwarting an invasion that could destabilize the Dominion.
Side quests delve deeper into the zone’s lore, from unraveling Khajiiti lunar traditions to aiding Bosmer tribes in preserving their sacred Green Pact. The zone’s dynamic atmosphere, filled with vibrant festivals, tense standoffs, and haunting battlefields like the ruins of Thormar, offers a rich tapestry for players progressing through the Aldmeri Dominion’s narrative.
Reaper’s March stands as a testament to the fragile alliances and fierce spirit of Tamriel’s southern wilds, blending beauty, danger, and intrigue into an unforgettable adventure.
