2024 reminder to bring back Dragon's Treasure Trove

Gaebriel0410 · April 22

As a player who has those old rewards, yes everything should be available to newer players in some way.

Throw them on the impressario vendor, achievement vendor, writ vendor, infinite archive vendor, Cyrodiil vendor, unlock them with zone completions, or whatever achievements, throw them in the crown store even, exclusivity is overrated and stuff is meant to be able to be used and appreciated by many..

Having old exclusive stuff is really not as big of a flex as some believe it is, same with the incoherent eyesore characters that are just a walking trophy rack of various achievement skins and dyes.

Truly lovely response. Have a great day!

[Yes, I have the trove. I would love for it to be available for everyone - and I actually could use a few more myself, though I think it's listed as "unique".]

A beautiful wooden katana-looking sword. I don’t know if I still have mine, I think I might have finally liquidated it to make space 😢

Ahhhh, what sword, is it just a sword or a style-page?
I didn't play a lot of the tutorials for the dlcs, and now they don't exist. I thought I could just do it some other time when it suited me - shame I took it as content to be enjoyed at my leisure.

Keeping up with eso exclusive stuff is a little stressful in it's own stupid first-world way. But still, it's meant to be a relaxing/fun entertainment/way to pass time.

I got the Elsweyr dragons hoard during the event, but still think others should be able to earn it. Not having access to lots of content just means I can never recommend anyone to start this game at this time.

I also really want the 2016 anniversary cake as I was really sick that year and couldn't play, and also blissfully unaware of an event.

These fomo things are the reason why my husband keeps telling me this game isn't good for me. He's probably right, I should shed the chains and pick up some more useful daily chores.
Even when I keep up with so many things (some of which I do enjoy), there's still too many things I can't obtain ever, no matter skill or time to play, and it gives me a feeling that it's pointless.

They’re real level 1 swords, I don’t think a motif that matches them exists unfortunately.

Yeah bring it back. It's an amazing furnishing and I love using it in my houses - so yeah would be cool if others also have the chance to get it

Too many items (cosmetics and veteran arena weapons) have been devalued in ESO during last few years

Only chapter pre-order things and special event rewards (such as this furnishing) remain unique. When I observe those collectibles, it's always pleasant to remember how I got them.
I still pre-order chapters only for mounts which come from them, not because i personally like them but simply because they do not return afterwards. From the point of rarity, those mounts became new and improved version Radiant Apex mounts!

Almost every thing I was proud of collecting in this game was devalued, so this furnishing is one of rare reminders of good old times...

ESO's content model was always based on special and limited-time items, and I personally got used to it.
Sure, it's much easier to have different things now, but it takes away most of excitement

I play GW2 which never had any special items (for those years since I started playing, at least). Everyone can have everything after spending some money or time, so getting a Legendary weapon or nice mount skin there is only worth it if you really love the look of it - since every player already has all of that, or is going to have all of that after some time. I got used to this content model there, but not in ESO

I too have this furnishing and others having it would in no way devalue it for me. Similarly, I use what styles and mounts suit my characters, not as some sort of “status”. Several of my characters use a horse that can be purchased with gold from any stable in game.

I have several furnishings that mean something extra to me — the Cursed Orb of Meridia that I spent all my gold on at the time because it was that big of a deal to me to defeat that dungeon, the Alinor Ancestral clock that was the first master crafter furnishing plan I got and crafted, had long wanted, and symbolizes a major milestone in my crafting journey. Others having the furnishing does not diminish that.

(Edited for clarity.)

This one knows.

Yeah that really is a textbook case of the sheer discourse FOMO actually causes.

Sub-par ship, everyone knows it's a bit naff, and yet, everyone wants it because they can't have it.

It's very much what has turned me against the whole "one time only" thing in games, as it really does bring out the pathetic in a lot of folk when they feel "threatened" that it might lose its status. (In a video game? C'mon folks, do be serious.)

Yes, I have access BTW.

There are multiple treasure and gold coin mounds in the game

What else is there besides this one and the one from fencing a million?

There is a crown crate one

Do you know which crates?

Rageypoo · April 22

Why not put it in a dragon event as a rare reward? I don't see a reason to keep something because of BS FoMo or locked behind a crown store.

It would still have that extra meaning for you even if others were able to get it another way. I have several furnishings that mean something extra to me — the Cursed Orb of Meridia that I spent all my gold on at the time because it was that big of a deal to me to defeat that dungeon, the Alinor Ancestral clock that was the first master crafter furnishing plan I got and crafted, had long wanted, and symbolizes a major milestone in my crafting journey.

Very true, sentimental value doesn't go down simply because something is widely accessible or easily obtainable. Some of my most valued items are random garbage but still special to me because they serve as reminders of parts of my ESO journey.

I made this staff after getting my first 9-trait research completed in 2015, when Glass was the most expensive motif in the game.

I call this my "Dalek Rock" because of a dumb joke I made about my name with my friends in 2017 and it was featured prominently in all my houses. Boulder, Snowswept Crag.

My first target dummy ever is enjoying retirement in their own living space in the lower section of the xanmeer.

It's not quite the same, but it's "The Pile of Dubious Riches" in the Bandaari Peddlar crates

Seeing FOMO/Exclusive Ones & Zeroes lovers in this post, recedes my faith in humanity, by a lot.
