Community answer · written from a player question · not datamined; verify in gameUnderstanding Dungeons vs. Public Dungeons
Dungeons in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) are designed as instanced content, meaning they are private spaces for you and your group. Each dungeon typically has a set of bosses, unique mechanics, and a storyline that contributes to the overall lore of the game. They often require a group of players to complete and can be tackled in different difficulties, including Normal and Veteran modes.
On the other hand, public dungeons are open-world areas that can be accessed by any player. They are not instanced, allowing multiple groups to explore and fight enemies simultaneously. Public dungeons usually have a more casual feel and are often designed for solo or small group play. They feature bosses and loot but lack the structured progression and mechanics found in traditional dungeons.
