Elder Scrolls Online Guide: Emote List

Need a list of every emote in ESO? Then, check out this guide.
This article is over 10 years old and may contain outdated information

Every MMO has a bunch of emotes players can use in-game and Elder Scrolls Online is no different. Emotes are commands that players use to make their character do something. You use them by typing / then whatever command you want them to do. For example, /dance makes your character dance and /lute makes your character play a lute instrument.

This guide will list every emote in the game. Some of them are similar to each other so it is not as big as you might think. I’ll put them in alphabetical order and into two tables. Remember to put “/” before each word.
