Do the banker and merchant offer the same things as existing ones?

SantieClaws

If you have the existing banker and merchant can you upgrade or do you need to buy these ones at full cost?

What happened to the other Elsweyr Furnishing Pack and Jodes Embrace house? I bought 30k crowns for those

This one assumes they may come in July - they space out the furnishing packs. This one also really, really, really wants the garden pack.

Are the available as additional merchants and NPCs in houses? I.e. can I have both Nuzihmeh and the cat merchant in my house at the same time?

This! Please let us 'upgrade' the existing ones instead of having to buy a second set of banker/merchant

Will we ever get the Daedric stuff from last year again? I completely missed out on all of that stuff. From the Mephala furnishing pack to the Manelord Nightmare mount and cub. I really want those for my house and characters!

I assume Jodes embrace will come out in July too then Packed up my previous house waiting to move

Will you ever bring back the Black Cat pet with the Red Collar? I'd really like to buy that and it seems to be the perfect time with this Kat chapter.

It would be great if we could switch between skins, like changing a costume.

Jolipinator

Honor Guard motif?

Pedlar pack pets?

War Boar, Pack Rat, Donkey?

Nope, instead you thought the Mercenary motif was in demand.

Well another month of disappointing stuff guess I'm never going to get rid of all these crowns

I might pick up the costume, but other than that, meh. Don't care about either furnishing pack. The baking one - well we'll see if it's worth the price for the costume, as other than the garlic strand, I believe all the other furnishings are easily crafted in-game or purchased with writ vouchers (the provisioning station). IIRC from PTS. Got all the recipes, too - they're just the basic green ones required for writs, which you can purchase from any chef/brewer in-game.

And it looks like half the showcase is either stuff from last year (SS DLC and collector's items) or things already in the CS on PC.

I'm not getting the new assistants, as I'm fairly certain they'll cost at least the same, if not more, than the current assistants. If they offered an upgrade/skin price for those who currently own the originals, then I might pick them up at some point. But I'm not paying 5k each again for the same functionality. I will say, though, that they'll make a refreshing change from a bunch of Nuzhimehs running around. I really wish I could offer her some nicer clothes to wear.

ETA: I hope they don't wait an entire year to introduce the female Khajiit costumes, like they did with the female Altmer ones.

Time to remind my friends that mercenary costs under 10k in game gold

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_SarahHecker

Is anyone going to answer the question that EVERYONE has about the new banker and merchant? Shouldn't it have been answered on the showcase itself?

Will there be an upgrade or skin change option for the merchant and banker for those who have already spent a lot of money purchasing the originals? You know your longtime players have supported and spent plenty of money on this game and should be shown that they too matter.

They're not answering, and the article doesn't say that they are any different to the current assistants. Ergo... Assume that they will cost at least 5k crowns and work exactly as the ones we already have.

This is a good question

However I dont think that will happen at all and probably the same price as the last ones

Much disappointment.

Considering the forums today, the Gourmet pack will be worth it solely for the Salty emote.

Rich Lambert just confirmed that 'There is no upgrade feature or program for the banker/merchant'

This one purrs in satisfaction of an alfiq assistant. warm sands.

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

will the new Banker behave the same as the old banker, i.e. start walking immediately when invoked, so that you have to run to catch up to him, whereupon the banker immediately runs back a few meters, forcing your toon to change directions again to speak with him?

Banana

Pass

Morgul667

No reply from ZOS ?

What a surprise

16BitForestCat

Considering ESO devs love their Internet memes, I'm going to be very disappointed* if the Sphynx cat pet doesn't leave "pucker marks" whenever it stands up from a sitting position, per that "Cat butt puckers on the glass" post that was going around a few years ago.

I really want those Alfiq assistants, but not for full price when I already bought the other two!

ZOS is really getting into the "bundle" game even more lately, aren't they? Still forming an opinion on that; if it's a great deal and I want it, sure, I'll go for it. But if it's cramming a bunch of stuff you don't want with one thing you do, and the price is still pretty high, then it's not so great compared to just buying what you want individually.

*Actually, I'm not going to be disappointed at all at the presumable total lack of pucker marks. That would be hilarious, but also really gross.

MarrazzMist

Uh oh, I thought I was so clever to save most of my ESO+ crowns for Elsweyr chapter.

But I might be broke after this month already...

method__01

at least they didnt try sell a trial motif like Welkynar for 6k crowns,yet

apart from this nothing,ppl who play have already bought banker and merchant ages ago
and i dont think they are going to re-purchase

as for Mercenary motif,one word: LMAO
