Shapeshifter's Chain is one of the Mythic Items in Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). Mythic Items in ESO (Elder Scrolls Online) are special unique Equipment added with the Greymoor Expansion. These items can only be obtained by completing Antiquity hunts, using your Scrying Skills and Excavation Skills. Mythic items are very powerful, resulting in a "one piece Set" effect, but players may only equip one mythic item at a time.

How to Get Shapeshifter's Chain
Every Mythic Item consists of 5 pieces, each requiring a Master difficulty Lead to find. You need to be at least level 7 in Scrying and have the Antiquarian Insight IV passive in order to scry these Master difficulty leads. The dig site for the fragment is usually found in the same zone as where the Lead drops.
See our Antiquity Leads page for more information about all the mythic items and antiquity leads.
