To acquire the Esoteric Environment Greaves, you will be required to unlock the Scrying and Excavation skill lines. These skill lines are part of the Antiquities system, which was added in the Greymoor chapter. You can access it by purchasing the required expansion or subscribing to ESO Plus.

Achieving level 7 in the Scrying skill line is essential for master-level leads required for Mythic sets. Upon acquiring the appropriate level, you can assemble the Esoteric Environment Greaves by finding the required leads.

However, you will first require the Necrom chapter, as it is one of the latest Mythic sets added to the game with the said expansion.

There are five leads spread across Tamriel required for the Esoteric Environment Greaves. Here are the locations of the leads in The Elder Scrolls Online:

  • Biome-Proof Plating: Nchuleft delve boss in the Vvardenfell zone.
  • Harvester-Scale Plating: Zygiite boss in the Gorne public dungeon, Telvanni Peninsula zone.
  • Nonreactive Cincture: Graven Deep dungeon side bosses, High Isle zone.
  • Thras-Crafted Breeches: Sload boss in Coral Aerie dungeon, Summerset zone.
  • Tonal Pivot Joints: Forgotten Waste public dungeon group event boss, Vvardenfell zone.

After acquiring all the leads, you can scry each of them to reveal the different pieces required for the Esoteric Environment Greaves. Their locations will be marked on the map. Excavate at the marked location to acquire all the pieces. You will automatically receive the set afterward.
