these look like awesome crates.
i cannot wait to see all items in-game.

Mara's Blessed Garland seems nice, i like that there's several Mara items

Hey Kevin, now that we have a chitinous creature polymorph for hungers, was wondering if we could get one for a kwama. Preferably one with a noble suit as depicted in TES Legends

I'll pass this along! Also 100% for Kwama in a suit.

Can't wait to see Curly Tresses in-game, I hoped for better curly styles for years

Ty Kevin. Also if we can use a camlorn top hat with it, it would be a nice alternative variant for the kwama polymorph.

Fair enough.

Please START showing images for everything in a Crown Crate showcase, and please return to it in the Monthly Showcases.

Silly not to make it easy/clear when you're trying to advertise and get your customers excited.

The Mara's robe is beautiful. And I loveeeeeeeee the Spellbreaker skill style. It's perfect for my battlemage tank.

I did a little review of a few items,
Housing folks might be interested to see the Vaermina Dreamtrapper Pillar and Ceremonial Peryite Skeever Altar placed:

I like that the Skeever altar is an Epic tier item! And some nice new things available at the lower tiers

much better than old Wood Elf furniture.

But at least a couple are bugged:

Curly Tresses texture error:

Snake Sidekick emote - halfway through the animation it starts floating in the air off your arm, and then even doubles.

Kallykat · September 11

A lot of these items look interesting. I like it when there's a clear theme. The skeever mount is cool.

I also want to say I appreciate that there's a new furnishing at the lower tier instead of a bunch of old furnishings. Please keep this model in future crates.

I got Curly Tresses expecting the texture bug will get fixed... hopefully

Just wanted to follow up here. The team is aware of the issue and has it on their list of bug fixes. We'll update once the fix is ready. Thank you for flagging!

Nice thank you!

Why does an apex tier costume dress still have floating hip flaps?

Also for once when the apex mounts got a nice less flashy look (although could have more details and equipment), there are barely any mount variety and the apex tier is full of other things. The mounts that exist are kinda odd choices too like vvardvark and tharriker really?

ForMalacath · September 12

Bought the 25 crate bundle. I was not prepared for how awesome that Bone Colossus skin is! My Necromancer is pleased

grin3671 · September 12

Snake Sidekick emote has awful eyeball animation. Sometimes eyes just pop out from orbit! Eek!

Araneae6537 · September 12

Peryite has had his turn and then some — Mephala themed crates and skill styles when?!

SilverIce58 · September 12

Thank you ZOS, for any and all material related to my beloved Weaver of the Panoply. I love all of it. Especially the teleport, the flaming hands sconce, and the outfit style. May Vaermina bless your dreams always 🙏 ✨️. I might even spend my 16k endeavors on the mount if I dont get it by the end of the season.

acastanza_ESO · September 12

@ZOS_Kevin do you think in the future it'd be possible to get any included new skill styles mentioned specifically in the news post? Since they were introduced that's the thing I've been most interested in from new crates and while there were two listed here, they were omitted from the overview post for the crates (I think they were also omitted from the Akatosh vs. Alduin crate news post) even though the Volley of the World-Eater, and Spell Breaker styles have been some of the coolest things offered recently.

Also, as a note, some of the new furnishings from the crates appear to be unable to be stored in the furnishing vault.

Unfortunately, they never mention everything in the news post, and everyone has their own opinion about which items are most worthy of note. (I like hairstyles and adornments, personally, and for this crate, I would have shown off the cool Vaermina sconce.)

They did list all the items, including the skill styles, at the top of this post. My problem with the spoiler lists is that it's difficult to tell what type of collectible each one is from just the name. You'd have to go offsite to figure it out if you want to know in advance of the crate's release. ZOS, is there any chance in the future you could add the collectible category to the list? For example:

Dreamharrowed Dancer (skin)
Vaermina Nightmare Sconce (furnishing)
Vaermina Dreamtrapper Pillar (furnishing)
Flurry, Peryite (skill style)
Valenwood Skull Blocks (emote)
etc.

Fischblut · September 13

I don't have time to write all my thoughts about new crates now, so for now I share the most important thing: new Skeever mount is epic, thanks to people who made it!

Probably my favorite mount model now, soft footsteps, smooth Senche gait, nice effects

My shortest male Bosmer character had lot of fun with mount's idles and old mementos:

More awesome moments which took forever to capture:

Red and green combo never gets old for me:

@ZOS_Kevin I'm bringing this back because the snake is still bugged. When you raise your arm the snake sometimes stays on the arm, sometimes doesn't... sometimes a second one appears! This is a great little emote, but it's broken. Are they still working on it?
