If you are subbing can you also at the same time buy a DLC?

ChampionSheWolf✭✭✭Depends on how they do it. if they do it like TSW, then you only get the DLC while you are subbed and the moment your subscription runs out you lose access tot he new content. If that is the case, you can probably buy the DLC content. As far as costumes, mounts and any other items, yea you can buy those if you wish to.Harbinger of The Black Wolves.

✭Short answer, we don't know if your a active subscriber if you can, but more than likely you could unsubscribe then using Crowns purchase the DLC and then re-subscribe.
Since no DLC has come out yet we do not know. We do know that as a subscriber you will get full access to any DLC that comes out.
I subscribe and am a ESO+ member and will more than likely use the unsub, purchase DLC w/Crowns and then resub trick. This is just so if i decide to fully unsub that I will then have DLC's available to me.Edited by whiteshadow711jppreub18_ESO on April 19, 2015 5:17PMSigned, Kotaro Atani.PS5 NAVR16/ CP 160 Khajiit Nightblade of the Aldmeri Dominion, Guildmaster and Assassin of the Queen's Hand guild on NA PC.

The answer is yes. Yes, you can still buy the DLC while you are a subscriber.
This question was answered previously by a ZOS employee. You are NOT going to be restricted from purchasing the DLC w/ the crowns you get from your subscription when DLC becomes available.
Another way of thinking about it is like this:
You are not "subscribing" anymore in a traditional sense. What you are actually doing is purchasing 1500 crowns per month (1500 crowns costs 14.99, there is literally zero difference between subbing and just buying these crowns outright, other than the bonuses that come w/ a sub).
For purchasing your monthly 1500 crowns, you get the xp/inspiration/gold boost and FREE access to DLCs.
But you flat out bought the crowns already, and you are still allowed to purchase whatever you like w/ these Crowns, so long as you do not already OWN the purchase.
If you are just renting it, you will still be able to purchase it, but once you've actually bought it, you won't be able to buy it again (if for some reason you wanted to do that).

I understand your thinking, but your DLC purchase would more than likely show up in your account log (I am hoping it does, it should..) so you can advise them about it in the future if you have problems dropping the sub and cannot access the DLC you paid for. I will back up my information with ingame screenshots that I purchased the DLC, just in case.

Ok then. I'm going to hold you to that!!!
Go right ahead, I'm not steering you wrong. : )
I couldn't find the exact quote (it's buried somewhere in the mountain of my participated discussions, lol), but I dug this up for you:
"Do I lose all items and rewards earned from DLC if my ESO Plus membership ends?
No. You will lose access to the DLC areas and quests should your membership lapse (unless you purchase the DLC separately in the Crown Store), but you will keep all items and rewards earned through the content."
Source: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/tamrielunlimitedfaq
The italicized statement clearly alludes to being able to purchase the DLC separately in the Crown Store WHILE you are an ESO+ member. If you could not purchase the DLC while being an ESO+ subscriber, there would be no need for the disclaimer.Edited by Varicite on April 19, 2015 5:40PM5 -
kodo✭✭what i understood : when u are a subscriber u get full access to any dlc that comes out, but if u cancel your sub there goes the dlc access too..
actually i was a sub myself and cancelled my sub just because of that.i prefer to pay hard cash (crowns) on what i need when dlc is released, and it stays with me permanently.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yes
Access to DLC comes in two ways
1. Buying it
2. Having an active ESO plus account
If ESO plus is no longer active and you want to play the content you'd buy it (which should occur just as crown purchases occur today)

IF I BECOME AN ESO PLUS MEMBER AND THEN ALLOW MY MEMBERSHIP TO LAPSE, WILL I LOSE ALL OF MY DLC PACKS TO DATE?
Updated 03/17/2015 01:32 PM Published 01/21/2015 07:49 AM
ESO Plus members who allow their memberships to lapse will keep all items earned but lose access to DLC content such as additional dungeons. For example, if a player earned a legendary weapon as a reward for completing a dungeon they could only access while an ESO Plus member, they would not lose that weapon. They would only lose access to the dungeon itself.
All DLC content will become available again once the membership is renewed.
Alternatively, players can also purchase individual DLC packs from the in-game Crown Store. Purchased DLC remains on the player's account and does not lapse.
Be sure to watch our official website and social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Google+) for more information.

Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.

Sounds crazy but thats how it will work as ZOS stated, with a sub you rent, not own the DLC's. You could just not sub, then purchase them when they become available.
