    I think on the live stream they said it will be both for the town house, with the ship+cave being Crown store only?

    They did, yes.

    "Glass"

    @Rickter That is incorrect. Glass was released in-game on 31 Aug 2015 with Imperial City. It appeared on the Crown Store 24 Sep 2015. It was only three weeks or so between in-game availability and Crown Store availability, which at the time was a source of controversy. But three weeks is still longer than 0 days.

    Yet another crown store exclusive crafting morif! Oh, come on!

    To clarify, the Sapiarch Crafting Style will not be an ESO Crown-Store exclusive. It will also be available in-game by completing specific Summerset daily quests. Watch for full details in the Summerset launch patch notes. :)

    It's not manipulation imo, and if it is then you should tell all the supermarkets to stop having time limited offers too, Lidl wouldn't survive without them..

    I much prefer time limited offers to loot crates.. and you should too.

    Yeah... that's all manipulation. It's trying to create an artificial rush. Best Buy, for instance, has been spamming me about one day left on a sale for the past week like they're going out of business. Retail is all about these psychological tricks, i.e. items on sale all year round. It's important to at least recognize the games being played on you.

    To be fair, once a supermarket sale ends you can still buy the item at regular price.

    That Sapiarch motif looks tempting. My outfit would be the talk of the town. So ready for Summerset!

    And this is why they're introducing the motif in the CS at launch. They're hoping to catch people unaware.

    NOTE: You will be able to earn this motif in-game! Also, you will be able to buy it from other players. Of course, if you don't have SS and really want it right away, then sure, maybe a CS purchase would be an acceptable way to go.

    But, how many people are going to know at launch that they can either earn the motif in-game if they own SS or they can buy pages from other players if they don't. People are gonna see this pop up and think it's CS exclusive. I don't mind motifs in the CS, even exclusive ones (I've purchased both Frostcaster and Grim Harlequin). But, what I don't like is introducing a brand-new motif at launch that is also available in the expansion. Many won't know this and will fork over Crowns they may not have if they knew it could be obtained in game. Sure, some would still want to buy it outright anyway, but some of the buyers probably won't have all the facts to make an informed decision.

    As for the rest of the Showcase, I'm somewhat pleased. There are at least a couple of permanent items being added (the beauty pack and a pet) in addition to the permanent items we already knew were coming as part of the expansion (house and research scrolls). Everything else, though, is limited time...again. Plus, they're removing 8 items, so it's a net loss...again.

    I am going to check out the Dibella pack - that's the only limited-time item I'm remotely interested in. I may pick up the beauty pack at some point, if I like more than just the hairstyle and if the price is reasonable.

    Just a reminder that it costs 50-55k crowns or $360 to $400 (PC/NA non sale prices) should you choose to buy those Jewelry Crafting scrolls to max out your jewelry research (assuming you have all traits jewelry and all research passives available).

    Of course, you can also wait out the timer...

    It'll take a little over a month to research 6-traits on necklace and ring if you have no downtime on research, all passives, and all traits available. It'll take about 5 to 6 months to fully research jewelry traits.

    More detailed math here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/408045/how-much-does-it-cost-to-max-research-jewelry-with-crown-scrolls/p1

    Thanks for the maths. This is unfortunately exactly the situation I feared when the instant research scrolls came out.

    Depending on how many people plop down the necessary $400, there's a chance that the only Hundings or Julianos gold jewelry you will see in the guild stores for several months will be ridiculously overpriced, as the Crown Store buyers exploit their market advantage.

    I can only hope that there are enough of these day-one jewelry crafting maxers to provide some competition in the market. The nice thing is that crafted jewelry will essentially be commodities, eventually: each crafter can make an unlimited number. All it will take is a handful of folks making more supply than the market can handle to drive prices down.
