Since the Greymoor Chapter's inclusion of the Antiquities system, which lets players excavate for unique relics across Tamriel, every new Elder Scrolls Online Chapter comes with a handful of Mythic items for players to collect. Though these tend to be the main use of the Antiquities system in new Chapters, there are lots of other Anqituities worth digging up in Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle.
In addition to the five new Mythic items and the standard three leads given to players in every zone, there are furnishing leads to hunt down (including a unique Provisioning Table) and a host of Motifs to find in the Ancestral Breton style.

In every Elder Scrolls Online expansion there are at least three Antiquities associated with each new Zone. In the High Isle Chapter, these take the form of the Ancient Mariner's Sextant, a Simple lead, the Stonelore Circle Effigy, an Intermediate lead, and the Orichalcum Burial Urn, an Advanced lead.
The Ancient Mariner's Sextand and the Stonelore Circle Effigy can be completed over and over again, but the Orichalcum Burial Urn can only be uncovered once. Completing the Ancient Mariner's Sextand immediately unlocks the Stonelore Circle Effigy, and completing the Stonelore Circle Effigy unlocks the Orichalcum Burial Urn.

The Ancestral Breton Armor style is introduced with the High Isle Chapter, and motifs for it can be uncovered by solving a variety of Treasure Maps throughout the High Isle Chapter. These Treasure Maps are earned for completing random tasks throughout the zone, and three are only acquired by buying the Collector's Edition of the Chapter.
The Simple leads include Axes, Belts, Boots, Bows, Daggers, Gloves, and Legs motifs and are likely to drop from these Treasure Maps. Helmets, Maces, Shoulders, and Staves motifs are a bit rarer and are Intermediate leads. Chests, Shields, and Swords are all Advanced leads that rarely drop from Treasure Maps.
Furnishings and the Druidic Provisioning Table
There are three main furnishings that players can earn in the High Isle Chapter, and one new unique crafting table that requires a bit of time investment to create. This is the Druidic Provisioning Table, a furnishing that takes a High Isle Druid's approach to set design. The leads to this furnishing are found spread out throughout High Isle and Amenos in specific locations rather than as chance-based rewards.
The lead for the Antique Map of High Isle is earned after earning the High Isle Pathfinder achievement. The Draoife Storystone lead can drop from High Isle Daily Quest reward coffers and the Sea Elf Galleon Helm lead can drop from anything in Dreadsail Reef.

Mythic Items
There are five new Mythic items included with the High Isle Chapter, including one that has been making waves across the game's meta. The Dov-Rha's Sabatons gives a unique effect during and immediately upon ending Sprinting, and the Lefthander's Aegis Belt replaces the Dodge Roll with a short-lived but extremely strong Shield. The Mora's Whispers mythic gives extra XP gain based on how many books the player has read, and the Sea Serpent's Coil reduces damage taken at full health with a neat buffing side effect.
The real talk of the town is the Oakensoul Ring, which takes away the wearer's second weapon slow and back bar in exchange for a swathe of buffs. It's extremely powerful, and if there's any Mythic in High Isle to collect, it's this one.
Mythic items in ESO are all made up of five leads, which when completed combine in the player's inventory to form the Mythic itself. These leads drop from a massive variety of sources, too many to list reasonably, so be sure to research each Mythic above and plan out your routes for acquiring these hard-to-find Antiquities.
