• PC/Mac: No maintenance – June 1

If you already own the DLC what can you do with 6 days of ESO+?

When these promotional free ESO+ periods have come up before I've seen various lists of things for people to do to make the best use of it, but it always seems to be based on the assumption that you also don't own any of the DLC, it's all things like get the skyshards in the DLC maps, do the achievements/get dungeon drops...

What I'm wondering about is what the best use of this time is for people like me who already own all the DLC they're interested in (in my case everything except the dungeon-only stuff) and will buy the rest if and when we want to play it so we don't need to rush through it now.

So far I've got:
  • Log into each character to dump their materials into the craft bag
  • Update dyes on costumes if I want to make any changes since the last free ESO+ period
  • If I was ready to I'd use it to add 200 lore books to my main house, but I'm not done with the rest of the decorating yet

Anything else I could do which I've forgotten about?

    empty all those crafting mats into the bag of holding :)

    Not sure if you can overload your bank while you have double the space too...

    You can. But it doesn’t work as well as the crafting bag. That is if you want to use your bank. Because once it is over filled when you loose those slots you can’t put anything else in it. So it is much harder to move things around.

    I would go around and collect as much crafting material as I can during that period.

    I don't recommend overstocking the bank. But it is a good time to organize yourself, and your characters while you have the larger overhead. If you have a banker and storage chests, this would be a good time to organize those as well.

    Open up some of those geodes you've been saving and retrait up to 4 items at a time if your geode mule and crafter are different characters.

    Dye costumes of course.

    Decorate house. Tricky, and potentially expensive, but we've been through at least one year cycle of holidays and luxury vendor. A lot of blue plans dropped during this event and can probably be gotten at a bargain right now. Devote this time to fully use up your slots and get your home how you like, at least until the next ESO+ trial week.

    Fill your homes to the new, higher furnishing caps. Dye all of your costumes. Dump your stockpile of motifs into your now doubled bank size, then spend the rest of the week stockpiling mats.

    I have ESO+ and I'm in and out of characters quite often, especially at the start of my day when I do mount training for every character that needs it.

    you do not. free crates are for existing subscribers. non subscribers get to try ESO plus benefits, but they get no crowns or crates. just all the rest of the acess.

    @ OP, I think at this point you covered all the bases. you could go farm more mats, maybe?

    P.S. I will never judge anyone for choosing not to subscribe. different people have different reasons and while sometimes they ARE about money, other times they are not. that choice is theirs and NO one else's.

    and crafting writs for me at least. I tend to hop like crazy when I'm going through my daily writs.

    Are you still able to use mats from the bag of holding after the free eso+ expires? I've been wondering this as I know there's a costume I want to dye but don't want to dump mats in the bag and then find I'm locked out of them.

    you can keep using them. you just cannot add anymore and if you take some out for whatever reason (like to sell at a guild store for example) - you cannot put them back in unless you subscribe

    Oh nice. Time to unleash what I hoarded in to the house storage in to the bag and use that as an excuse to find more decorations to put in those chests. Makes me wish I hadn't missed the last ESO+ freebie week.

    The game will pull what's in your current character's inventory, your bank, and your housing storage into the craft bag automatically as soon as you log in.

    My friends love the game but don't have much time to play. One play like a week or 2, then off for 1-2 months. Another one can only play couple days/month. They just buy the DLCs and chapters. Sub is a waste of money to them.

    I'm planning to carve through the big stock of surveys that have piled up while the resulting mats get vacuumed up to the craft bag, and refine a lot of mats for writ completion purposes since my stock there was depleted by the Anniversary event. And organize everything a little better.

    I have ESO+ and during the event I wasted an awful lot of time logging in and out of characters, micro-managing inventory space... 480 bank slots plus max bag space on I think 5 characters, almost maxed space on 3 and just over half on one, plus 8 storage chests of a total of 360 slots STILL isn't enough.

    Yes... I know I have a "bit" of a hoarding problem... :lol:

    if it's a prejudicle thing that's stupid on principle.

    If it's a spam thing no-thank-you has an option to make those go away.

    Eitherway, this is a dumb statement.

    You only get the Crown Crates if you're already an ESO+ member. Non-ESO+ members who get to trial ESO+ don't get the crates.
