thanks! happy that Sunken Trove and Stone Lore crates return!

also excited for Kthendral Deep Mines and the furniture pack with the Dwarf Light the Destroyer dummy,

I see sorcerer's will have to pay crowns, during a limited time at that, to get a different look for a pet which is just a glowing red translucent twilight as can be seen at eso-hub here.
After so many years of requests for anything, this is bad, greedy amd shameful.

Even the New Life: Winter style bundle is only 3 skills which are from different skilltrees.

Selling skill styles in the crown store is probably the single most disgusting escalation of ZOS's ongoing cash grabbing that I've seen. Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

and I doubt they are going to be cheap. Likely going to be very overpriced for something so minor as many cosmetics are in the store. Like the very simple customised actions reskins.

If I recall correctly, when skill styles were first introduced they said some would be earnable in game and some would be in the crown store. Doesn't seem like much of an escalation to me. The crown store is filled with cosmetics like this.

And that makes it okay why? Literally no one should be defending this.

Glad to see Sunken Trove finally return! And the Aetheriusbound pack looks interesting, too! I am finally finished with collecting moths! (Until more are added)

And as usual, I am requesting that hair dyeing is added in game! (And maybe an answer to my New Life wish about class set auras)

It's just not new. They sell armor cosmetics, hair cosmetics. They said there would be Crown skill cosmetics. And now they're here. Just like costumes or mounts, some can be earned, and some need to be purchased. If anything, the vast majority of skill styles are earnable instead of buyable, so they're the least greedy category so far.

Edit: a word

I'm not defending it so much as not bothered that they put more cosmetics in the crown store.

The others won't, but I'll defend this. Cosmetics are exactly the kinds of things that should be in the crown store. Would you rather they sell items that actually made other players more powerful?

That said, we'll see how I'm feeling about this when we see the actual price...

Meh. Not really a big deal. I don’t buy them so I don’t really care. If someone does, that’s their business

Really surprised to see the High Isle and Galen stuff after the event. Still, stonelore were one of the few crates I went wild on. I think I got everything last time, but will be nice to see them back.

After all the years that we've complained about Sorc Pets being an absolute eyesore and that they should be hidden in town like Companions or at least with a toggle ZOS has gone ahead and instead made a BRIGHT RED lightbulb flappy Twilight skin with EXTRA visuals.
...I just ask what and why? And this is coming from a 8+ year Sorc main.

Posting some of these here from that link for anyone who doesn't click on it because this NEEDS to be seen:

UntilValhalla13

The twilight looks pretty metal. XD

TheImperfect

The Dwemer mine house looks epic. Would definitely like that. I'd pay not to see winged twilight's ever out of combat settings though.

I can't tell from the tooltip or preview--do Aetheriusbound weapons disappear when you sheathe them, like the Gloambound weapons? I'd assume so, based on their appearance and name, but I don't want to drop that many crowns on them if I'm not certain.

they don't disappear when sheathed and their glow effects are always visible
