This is the official discussion thread for, "Crown Store Showcase- July 2023"

"As we prepare for Sun’s Height, let’s take a peek at the collection of goodies arriving in the Crown Store this July!"

Excited to see wild hunt crates return! And I'm interested in the atronach banker, though I have a question; Can you use it while mounted? Asking since I have the crow banker and can't use him mounted. Definitely a better month this month for me than others.

As for requests, I'd love to see the Wild Hunt, Dragonscale, and Frost Atronach crates return. And as usual, I am requesting that hair dyeing is added in game! We already know it's lore friendly! And also, crates that have moths!

Here is the bounty list:

- Moths -
- Ancestor Moth Swarm - Wild Hunt crates
- Carmine Wood Moth - Grim Harlequin crates
- Mustardseed Moth - Sunken Trove crates

Where is the ship house?!!! I’ve got a guild full of sailors ready to sail but no ship

Good stuff this month! Love the new atronach assistants, Minstral personality, and a few other things, better than previous months. I agree about the Ship house though, really want that one for my ship captain merchant character.

It will be available before U39 launches. We noted that it would be coming out within the U38/Necrom timeframe, but we'll have more details soon!

Why do I feel like it'll be the reward house for a High Isle Event?

elaborate on that? the High isle chapter event was last year and chapter events usually return every two years not the year after.
i very much doubt there would be a high isle event this year.

Kevin just said it would be available before update 39 launches, that likely leaves august and early september.

Looks like those Atronach assistants are going to be a quick 10K crown buy and an easy swap choice from the crows.

Excited for the atro assistants. Thats about it. Not stoked about the hunt crates considering they have made a ton of returns.. id like to see the celestial crates return.

Hmm i guess i was under the impression the event happened the year after. I dont even remember the high isle event last year honestly.

Anyways in that case it'll probably be 14k unfurnished, 17k furnished like the big "houses" usually are if its not some type of event reward. Maybe a Necrom event reward?

Me too but hope they won't until at least August (don't have enough Seals yet ;_;) So I was actually relieved at this showcase, more time to farm!

the event was in late September last year.
chapter events usually are in September.

fogbreak lighthouse was 11k unfurnished and 13750 furnished. i honestly believe the fair winds wont be as expensive as older notable houses so closer to fogbreak than 14k crown houses. but we'll see

and definitely doubt it'll be an event reward, it's not dunmeri nor in apocrypha.
i think if any house is a reward for the Necrom event it'll be on pts when update 39 gets tested.

Based on the last two years, my guess is the reward for a Necrom event will be access to the endless dungeon in Q4, a set of attunable crafting stations, a pet and a piece of gold companion gear.

Thanks for the info, I’ll use the time until it’s released to gather more crew to sail it

Vvardvark mount!

BloodyStigmata

Glad to see that Vvardvark mount and the Atronach assistants making their appearance. I don't know if the Vvardvark mount qualifies for the guar reserve since I don't think it's a reptile nor do I believe it is related to guar or bantam guar in any way (unless the loremaster can confirm otherwise), but I may make an exception. Of course that mean I'd have to start collecting Vvardvarks too.

Anyway, as far as returning items or items I'd like to see go, and I know this will come as a surprise, but I actually quite like guar. Here's my list of returning items or new items I'd like to see.

-Unacquired Pony Guar/Guar Calves-

1. Pony Guar
2. Striated Pony Guar
3. Frostbane Pony Guar

NOTE: Neither the Pony Guar nor Striated Pony Guar have been available in years. I'm hoping to see them return to the crown store soon. As far as the Frostbane Pony Guar goes, I'm hoping this and the other frostbane pets return as a reward for the New Life Festival at some point in the future. Please consider this request.

-Unacquired Bantam Guar-

1. Atmoran Bantam Guar
2. Eerie Violet Bantam Guar
3. Hot Blooded Bantam Guar

NOTE: All three of these are entirely outside of my control to obtain. I would like to buy these if that ever become an option.

-Kagouti Hatchlings/Calves-

1. Frost Atronach Kagouti Calf

NOTE: The Frost Atronach Kagouti Calf hasn't returned since the the first time the Frost Atronach Crates came around. A frost atronach pet may return this New Life Festival and I'd like it to be this one.

-Things I'd Like To See Created-

1. Alit mounts and pets
2. More cliff striders pets, and maybe some Hackwings too
3. Cliff racer pets
4. Wammassu mounts
5. Esqoo of Dhalmora Housequest (and houseguests as separate furnishing slots!)
6. A hugable guar houseguest/furnishing
7. A pack guar pet
8. Wormouth pet
9. More scuttlers. We only have that one from game launch.
10. That bloodroot guar from Bloodroot Forge as a mount
11. Bittergreen the Wild Trial Dummy

Thank you for your time, and I'll bother you again next month.

I like the ESO+ painting!
It is very odd that of all the assistants, companions, and house guests that we have absolutely zero altmer! This omission is especially striking when we even have deadra, factotums, and talking crows, and yet one of the playable races is completely absent.
I would be happy to the Xanmeer crates return or an opportunity to buy the trap plants with Crowns.

I'm just a bit disappointed the ESO+ free painting is the same as for the June showcase. Couldn't they have offered a different one?

the painting in the june showcase got added to the store june 29
that's a day before july i think it's fine to have it in both showcases

I was really hoping for the Grim Harlequin crates, they have never made a reappearance. I'm looking forward to the atronach assistants though, the fire one will be a great match for my character who is in perma-Deadlands style

James-Wayne

The very first line reads "As we prepare for Sun’s Height," what does that mean is it the ES Summer month, is something coming to ESO or am I just wishing again?

Sun's Height is the seventh month of the year in Tamriel. So basically July. There's a different name for each month as well. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Calendar

Found a kind player who let me group and try out the assistants. No, you cannot use them while mounted. Also like the crows, there's a bit of a delay before a special animation plays when you use them. Disappointed that this is the case. Any chance we could get a toggle to turn off the animation (and therefore hopefully the two/few second delay when you interact)?

Necrotech_Master

while i appreciate the different options for assistants (bankers, merchants, etc)

can we please get them addressed, such as getting either a price discount for already owning one of that type, or being able to trade in assistants?

assistants are already very expensive, and since the only thing that changes is their look it makes little sense to buy more than 1 of each type

would i like to trade in the original decon assistant for the fargrave one? yes please, would i like to trade in the original banker and merchant? yes please

Kallykat

It would also be nice to hear assistants' lines in the preview like with houseguests. I don't want to purchase an expensive daedric assistant only to find out her voice or personality annoys me.

Bowmanganie

A discount on additional slots for the Armory would get my $$$$ Or additional slots that count per account instead of per character would be extremely nice.

Jaimeh

I love the new banker, I've always loved fire atronachs (it's all the somersaults!) so I was really looking forward to the new assistants, and they did not disappoint. I was really pleased with the banker, great job with this one ZOS!
