Skyshard

Skyshards are interactive objects found around Tamriel in. For every three skyshard one person collects, a skill point is given to them.

Skyshards are meant to feel like rewards for exploration of Tamriel, rather than for killing bosses or completing tasks. Skyshards can be found in "public dungeons, explorable caves, and regular overland areas."

In total, there are 336 skyshards in the game. This means the player can gain 112 skill points from skyshards alone.
