Companions in The Elder Scrolls Online is a new system that was added with the Blackwood Chapter. Companions are special NPCs that can be recruited to join the player's adventure and who helps in combat. Companions usually have their own specialization, preferred equipment, skills, class, stats, strengths, weaknesses, and many more. This page covers a list of all the Companions featured in The Elder Scrolls Online as well as data regarding their stats and information on how to recruit them.
- There are 8 Companions available: Mirri Elendis, Bastian Hallix, Ember, Isobel, Sharp-As-Night, Azandar Al-Cybiades, Tanlorin and Zerith-var
- Two Companions was added in the Necrom Chapter DLC: Sharp-As-Night & Azandar Al-Cybiades.
- Companions start at level 1 and they can level up by gaining experience with you through quests or combat. You can also equip certain gear, or assign costumes/mounts for them.
- Companions have their own Companion Skills that you can slot, and can have different roles/sub-classes such as Deadly Assassin, Soul Thief and Living Shade. You can set their Combat Behavior to better suit your fighting style.
- Companions have a full Dialog System. Continuous interaction with a companion will allow the player to unlock personal quests.
- Speculation is that players can unlock two companions at the start by completing a certain main quest.
How Do You Get Armor for Your Companions in The Elder Scrolls Online?
Once you unlock a Companion, they will start out with basic White quality non-traited equipment. Companion Equipment have completely different uses and mechanics from player equipment. They don't have levels, can't be enchanted and upgraded, can't be deconstructed, can't be researched, don't require repairs, and don't include an inherent style appearance but will instead conform to the style and appearance of the Companion wearing it. They also cannot be crafted and must be obtained though other means.
You can purchase basic White Companion armor, weapons, and accessories from various merchants, namely Weaponsmiths, Woodworkers, Armorers, Leatherworkers, and Tailors, to customize the role of your Companion accordingly. Higher quality gear - Fine, Superior & Epic - can be obtained from monster drops throughout the world, particularly from bosses. These pieces of gear only drop if you have a Companion active with you. The current drop rate seems to be fairly low, therefore don't expect to get good Companion gear within a few boss kills. Companion equipment can be freely traded between players, so consider buying your Companion armor from guild traders and fellow players as well.
Companion gear also comes in 9 Unique Traits that further customize your Companion's Combat Role. Each trait has it's own effect ranging from increasing Companion damage or making the Companion more tanky, to increasing their support capabilities by boosting their healing done or increasing their buff and debuff durations. These traits are only available for Fine, Superior, and Epic tier gear. Higher tier Companion equipment provide better and more intense trait effects.
ESO Companion Rapport Level
Companions will have a rapport level (from hate to love), depending on how much they like your character. Each companion also has its own series of likes and dislikes. The rapport level will change as a player progresses through the story to unlock new quests to get to know each companion. For example, certain companions may react negatively if your character steals from an NPC or they may react positively if you give to an NPC.

Companion Customization in The Elder Scrolls Online
- In order to customize your companion, speak to them and select the option from the dialogue menu.
- You can choose to show companion's currently equipment, or their outfits. If a player wants to have a costume that they own worn by the Companion, they have to choose the Collectibles icon on the top right. Here a player can also set the mount that the Companion rides.
- In order to have their own customized Outfit displayed, the player needs to go to an Outfit Station that is not in a player's house because that Companion needs to be active at the time of customization.
- In the Outfit Station menu, the player can choose between themselves and a Companion. From here it works the same as with a player Outfit. You can also choose colors for both the Outfit or a Costume at this station.
- The head armor will be hidden at all times and will not be displayed regardless of equipment or cosmetic override settings.
- Depending on gender, race or other restrictions, some of the player's cosmetics might also not be usable by the companion.
- Players can't use polymorphs, personalities, skins, hats, hair or tattoos on companions.

Companion Equipment in Elder Scroll Online (ESO) contains all types of armor, weapons, and accessories specifically for your companions since they can not equip your regular gears. Carefully select the right gear can greatly increase their prowess and provide you much help in your adventures.
You can check the companion's equipment by talking to them.
How do you get armor for your companions in The Elder Scrolls Online?
Once you unlock a Companion, they will start out with basic White quality non-traited equipment. Companion equipment have completely different uses and mechanics from player equipment. They don't have levels, can't be enchanted and upgraded, can't be deconstructed, can't be researched, don't require repairs, and don't include an inherent style appearance but will instead conform to the style and appearance of the Companion wearing it. They also cannot be crafted and must be obtained though other means.
You can purchase basic White Companion armor, weapons, and accessories from various merchants, namely Weaponsmiths, Woodworkers, Armorers, Leatherworkers, and Tailors, to customize the role of your Companion accordingly. Higher quality gear - Fine, Superior & Epic - can be obtained from monster drops throughout the world, particularly from bosses. These pieces of gear only drop if you have a Companion active with you. The current drop rate seems to be fairly low, therefore don't expect to get good Companion gear within a few boss kills. Companion equipment can be freely traded between players, so consider buying your Companion armor from guild traders and fellow players as well.
Companion gear also comes in 9 Unique Traits that further customize your Companion's Combat Role. Each trait has it's own effect ranging from increasing Companion damage or making the Companion more tanky, to increasing their support capabilities by boosting their healing done or increasing their buff and debuff durations. These traits are only available for Fine, Superior, and Epic tier gear. Higher tier Companion equipment provide better and more intense trait effects.
Below are all the Traits available and their effects at Epic tier.

| Focused | Increases Companion Critical Strike Rating by 130 per piece of armor and by 80 per piece of weapon equipped. |
| Prolific | Increases Companion Ultimate Generation by 13% per piece equipped. |
| Quickened | Reduces Companion Ability Cooldowns by 2.6% per piece equipped. |
| Shattering | Increases Companion Penetration by 1300 per piece equipped. |
| Soothing | Increases Companion Healing Done by 1.7% per piece equipped. |

AnonymousClarification on Mirri Approval: Learning a new Motif
Mirri does not give any Approval for just learning a new motif chapter. I have yet to test for completing a full motif.

I can confirm that both Isobel and Ember both get "Completing personal quest+500 (once)".
Are Companions included with the in-game DLC buy? (I don't run ESO+)
- Anonymous
does each companion differentiate between your different characters or is it the same for all your characters? for instance if character 1 keeps doing things for a negative effect does that carry over to character 2 who does all positive effects?
