ESO Guild Discords
Most Elder Scrolls Online guilds don't run one bot, they run a few, each doing one job well. This is a plain rundown of the tools ESO guild Discords tend to reach for, grouped by the job they do, so you can pick the ones that fit how your guild actually runs. No rankings for their own sake: just what each one is good at.
Most guilds end up with two to four of these: something to schedule raid nights, maybe an ESO info bot, a general moderation bot, and a way to check that people are actually ready.
The most widely used event and signup bot on Discord, and the default for a lot of MMO guilds. It posts an event as an embed, members sign up by clicking, and it handles recurring weekly raids, waitlists, timezones, reminders, and logging. Its custom-template feature lets you build a class-and-role structure that fits your trial roster, so tanks, healers, and DPS get their own slots. If your guild runs a raid calendar, this is usually the backbone.
The other big event scheduler, and a strong pick if you want RSVP slots that mean something. You set a time, members respond, and Apollo manages custom sign-up groups (tank, healer, DPS), per-slot capacity, and waitlists that promote automatically when someone drops. Recurring events repost on schedule with a fresh sign-up list. Between Raid-Helper and Apollo it's mostly taste; both cover weekly-raid-night scheduling well.
A community-made ESO information bot. It can auto-post the daily Undaunted pledges, ESO news and patch notes, and server status, and it does item and set lookups from a chat command. Good for keeping the "what are today's pledges" and "what does this set do" questions out of your officers' DMs.
This is our bot, so here's the plain version of what it does. It's a readiness helper: a member submits their build as evidence in a Discord thread (a CharacterMarkdown export for ESO, or gear screenshots as a fallback), and GearCheck scores it against the build your officers set up, then hands staff a pass, review, or missing-requirement result. Officers set the standard and keep the final call; low-confidence results get flagged for a human instead of an automatic reject.
It also runs scheduling of its own, on the subscriber tier: events with per-role signup slots, gear-readiness rosters that check the signup list against verified builds, reminders, and a calendar feed. Smaller guilds can run raid night and gear checks from one bot; guilds that already live on Raid-Helper or Apollo can keep them, and on the subscriber tier GearCheck reads RaidHelper signups and shows a gear-readiness overlay next to them, handing verified members their roles automatically. For ESO it also imports builds from Hyperioxes with the creator credited on the guild's public requirements page. It checks the build a member is wearing, not their DPS on a log, so it does a different job than a log-based role bot.
Alongside the ESO-specific tools, most guilds run one general bot for moderation, reaction roles, welcome messages, and logging. Carl-bot, Dyno, and MEE6 are the usual choices, all long-running and widely used. Any one of them covers the housekeeping so the ESO-specific bots can focus on their jobs.
Stack them by job, don't look for one bot to do everything:
Scheduling raid nights?
Raid-Helper or Apollo, or GearCheck's built-in events (subscriber tier) if you want scheduling and gear checks in one bot.
Want ESO news, pledges, and set lookups in chat?
M'aiq the Liar.
Checking that members actually run the required build?
GearCheck.
General moderation and reaction roles?
Carl-bot, Dyno, or MEE6.
A well-run ESO guild Discord is usually two to four of these working together, each handling the part it's best at.
