Elder Scrolls Online Firesong DLC Will Be Free If Enough Get High Isle Pathfinder Achievement

thegamer.com:

The Legacy of the Bretons storyline is coming to a close with Firesong, a new DLC zone with an accompanying main quest. Typically, you get new content by being an ESO+ subscriber or buying it individually, but in this case, the community as a whole can earn it by getting an achievement - High Isle Pathfinder.

Zenimax has just launched the Heroes of High Isle event in which you can earn bonus rewards and event tickets by completing quests in High Isle and Amenos, and it also came with a bar on the website teasing a mystery reward. In last night's ESO live stream, the team announced that the mystery reward is Firesong, so long as you have the High Isle expansion (thanks, ESO Hub).

High Isle Pathfinder is simple enough to get - you have to find all the striking locales in both High Isle and Amenos, marked by eyes on the map. Simply going to them will tick them off as 'found'. If you're adventuring in High Isle for the event, completing quests for boxes and tickets, then you'll likely do this as you go anyway. The event doesn't end until October 11, either, so there's plenty of time, while Firesong is due to release on November 1.

In total, there are six striking locales to find. Two are on Amenos and four are on High Isle, evenly scattered about. There's also an event quest that you can pick up from the Crown Store - it's completely free like any other, but there's a little more to this one. You have to go to a few survey and fishing spots across the zone, so while you're busy with that, you may as well visit the striking locales.

If enough of ESO's players pull it off, then you won't need ESO+ for Firesong. All you'll need
