Missed the Mages Guild Recall - :( Will there ever be a purchase access for missing collectibles?

Cathexis · July 1

Just wanted to suggest a content access for rare collectibles be put in somewhere.

There's a bunch of things I think people want to collect but missed the chance:
- Special expansion preorders
- Houses
- Past impresario items
- Crown crate pack bonus items
- Past crown crates.

I wanted to suggest maybe putting in an annual vendor or crown store event once a year perhaps where players could buy special collectibles they missed.

Really want some of these special recall animations and I'm missing a molag bal pet I need to make the welwa.

*Prayers for special requests.*

I really covet the treasure pile furnishing from the Elsweyr event.

adriant1978 · July 1

No chance of that. This game runs on "for a limited time only".

Hopefully. I missed the Zweihander 2H cosmetic because I was away from the game at the time. Would love to actually be able to purchase it, but alas, ZoS doesn't want my money.

RMW · July 1

Yeah, let's do that.

Past impresario items could be rotated and be brought back like during the Pan Event.
Old pre-order items could also make a come back in the crown store.

They could bring back past impresario items like during the pan event, not sure if they would do the crown store items though.

What was the name of that weapon style? I only recall the Evergreen Saturalia weapons being rewarded for completing tasks during a Golden Pursuits campaign.

LunaFlora · July 1

would be good to see all previously limited time items return.
it's odd that some haven't returned after 6 years or mote more, like preorder mounts and the Dragon's Treasure Trove

Oh, didn't realize the mages guild recall was a golden pursuit. I assumed it was a crown store exclusive offer. The Motif I'm referring to is the Worm Cult Hunter Greatsword Motif.

Regarding a Golden Pursuit reward I'd nearly guarantee it'll come back into the crown store at some point. You have the opportunity to get it for "free" early, or spend money at a later date.

Mages Guild Recall was part of the 2025 Content Pass limited-time offer for pre-purchasing it before May 7th.

The Worm Cult Hunter Greatsword is part of the matching Arms Pack that was available during between April 10 to April 17, while the Anniversary Jubilee event was still running. A single Weapon Style from that pack was not available separately at all, you had to get the whole thing.

I'm just really trying to get some of these cool recall animations. Personally I don't think any content should be permanently gated. If they offered a full access vendor once a year for past items that would be so helpful and I think it's a good suggestion for them to make extra money from dedicated players who just want that particular thing they missed.

Pre-order items and some of rewards from chapter promo events are very few special items left in ESO, because too many other items were devalued over past few years...

I am against releasing them ever in any way after their respective time windows were closed.

Mage's Guild recall was a big reason for me to pre-order this time too, because the probability of a discount for a current chapter/season pass is never zero (so I would just wait for discount if there was no extra reward for pre-ordering it; all other cosmetics seem to be permanent part of new content, even the glowing warhorse mount). From all previous years developers stayed true to keeping pre-order items special, so only this fact could justify paying the full price early in my case.

Merchant is afraid of the fancy transportation technology though

I am aware I'd need to buy the whole thing, I was not on ESO during the time-period it was active and only noticed it was in the game after someone posted a screenshot with it about a week after its offering in the store was over.

If you can only enjoy something because you have it and others never can, then that's on you not the devs.

I 100% agree with the limited time items being placed into an annual vendor or crown store event once a year. I've been playing since Beta and have purchased every expansion (pre-purchased most of them) up until Seasons of the Worm Cult.

I missed out on pre purchasing seasons of the worm cult due to my health at the time, so was unable to pre purchase it. I reached out to ZoS support to see if they could grant it to me after I had purchased it but no luck.

As someone who has nearly all the limited time items over the years, I would love for the players who have missed out on them to be given a chance to acquire them, like myself with having a chance to get the Mages Guild Recall.

Silaf · July 14

And i've missed the damn Dragon rise event because of real life unavoidable reasons.
ZOS please give us a way to obtain old events items!

At least let support sell them to us.
It's impossible not to have missed one event in 11 years!

Some of us really, really care about it.

Cathexis · July 15

Please +1 this thread for a one day annual holiday vendor for rare collectibles and unavailables.

As much as I enjoy how unique my Psijic Villa is, I want to collect various other properties and items and action animations which I missed out on.

Soarora · July 15

I really hate FOMO. A lot. It’s stressed me out in other games to the point of quitting. As someone who has exclusive items like preorder rewards and the Elsweyr event items, people should be able to get them or a similar version of them.

NeuroticPixels · July 15

End FOMO! Give us other ways down the line to obtain things we missed!

Adria22 · July 21

Yes I do agree. What about new players? They see ton of cool items that they can never get.

I agree. FOMO is a good marketing tool to pressure spending, but it is a bad player experience.

I still think the best solution is to still do FOMO marketing but make holiday vendors at the end of the year for 1-3 days that sell special missing things for crowns.

Agree, another vote for the Dragon's Treasure
and this statue: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Senche-raht_Statue,_Battle-Bound

A few old items were brought back during the Pan-Tamriel event; I was happy to finally get the Voriplasm pet!
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/67351
Given the headline "Earn a Decade of Rewards..." it seemed like that would've been a great time to bring back items like the Dragon's treasure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Plus past ticket morphables are being brought back via the impresario's assistant. So I'm hopeful these other collectibles might come back too.

On that note, I'm surprised Imperial Edition did not go on sale or wasn't given at any time during the 10-year celebration so far. That seems like a great DLC to gift.

Silaf · August 1

All past event and store items should be accessible.
Maybe for christmas ZOS should allow us to spend a couple of vouchers to purchase 2 items we have missed.

Ixari · August 5

It would be amazing if they could bring back past limited edition items. Been away from the game for 8 years and missed out on so much. I really want my Jubilee cakes for example, still have the 2017 voucher that I can't even use anymore for example.
