Which PvP coffers are you guys buying with your AP?

I usually do the V14 medium large and small, but things change so fast I wanted to double check.

Thanks!

I'm trying to get shadow walker ring right now so VR14 Unfathomable something-or-other

Beesting

I only pvp for like 2 weeks now and bought 3 vr 14 boxes from the magus , i got a shadowwalker ring that i gave away to a friend. I bought 10 more over the days after and got no good stuff, so now i sit on 800 k ap and have no intention tp spend it.

I just pvp with my pve gear and do fine till i stand in front of the blue zerg and instadie.

But good question, i often wonder if people still buy the boxes or just sell and buy the campain rewards they get.

Good luck! I got a ring and necklace, and just bought the final ring.

But the prices on this stuff can fluctuate from 30k to 100+k so I want to make sure I go in the right direction.

So, to be clear, you spend the AP's on the container and potentially get an item worth more than the outright AP cost (if possible) to purchase directly?

I've never really opted for the container route, as I've never gotten anything of consequence from them - I assumed the item within would normally be worth about the AP equivalent of the container cost.

Am I mistaken?

It's akin to one of those claw games you've to dump enough money into before you get anything except worse you only get to pick the level, armor types or ring or weapon. You could dump 1 million AP and never get enough pieces to make a full set. They need to improve this slightly IMO so that you can get a full set within 700K to 1 million AP. in short, they're random grab-bags.

Yeh people are eating up the Shadow Walker sets and Morag Tong sets right now.
I've sold 3 Morag Tong daggers for around 150kg ea.

Only certain sets can be purchased directly from the vendors. Many of the best sets (such as Morag Tong, Hawk's Eye, Elfbane, and Arch-Mage) can only be looted from the containers. You could buy the Rings of Cyrodiil's Light for 256k AP, then sell them for 100k each. Not exactly a 1-for-1 trade there. The unfathomable V14 containers cost a little over 6k AP, @Merlin13KAGL. By my estimates, about 1 out of 15 bags will give you a set piece. These could be anything from the Alteration mastery sets, which don't sell very well, to the Elfbane or Morag Tong set pieces that sell for around 100k to 150k a piece.

Some days however, you will be very unlucky and get nothing from buying a bunch of bags. Other days, you'll get both a Ring of the Hawks Eye and a Ring of the Shadow Walker after buying just 10 containers. Unless you need something that the vendors sell, you should always go with the bags (except for the v14 staff containers - I don't think there's anything good that comes from those).

The best (selling) armors are:
Small & Large v14 Unfathomable Light armor: Arch Mage, Prayer Shawl, Desert Rose
Small & Large v14 Unfathomable Medium armor: Morag Tong & Hawks Eye
Small & Large v14 Unfathomable Heavy armor: Ravager's & Elfbane
Unfathomable v14 1h weapon: Morag Tong daggers
Unfathomable v14 2h weapon: Elfbane & Ravager's 2h weapons.
Unfathomable v14 jewelry: Morag Tong amulet, Shadow Walker, Hawks Eye, and Ravager Rings.

By no means are these the only armors you can get. There are around 6-7 sets per armor type that you can get from these bags. Some are awesome. Some are meh.

I guess I'm just not seeing it, but why the heck is elfbane selling for so much?

... I get the v14 unfathomable accessory boxes, 4 shadow walker rings, a neck, and hawks eye ring to boot for 550k AP... RNG loved me this weekend. It can be very profitable, especially if you're mainly PVP and have excess amounts of AP.

Ravaging rings come in v14 unfathomable jewelry?

Nice, thanks for the detailed response, @C0pp3rhead .

So that's about 90k AP for a chance at a salable item.

Given my luck at ESO's NSRNG (Not so RNG) I just usually steered clear of the containers.

I know those have a chance of being in PvP rewards, too. They also have a small chance of spawning in Cyrodiil treasure chests, yes?

Pretty sure. Now that I think about it, Ravager may be sold directly from the vendor. If so, the elite vendor will sell them. In any case, yes, Ravager rings exist at v14.

To my knowledge, the PvP sets do not drop from chests or dolmens in Cyrodiil. You can only obtain PvP sets from the containers.

......on principle i dont buy the 'random' boxes, for if they get popular, the zos marketing team will put them in the crown store with ever more increasing 'specials' that you can only get from gambleing on those boxes.

dont buy them, period

That makes sense. Don't bother trying to acquire some of the best armor & weapons in the game because capitalism. Great advice.

domlynchb16_ESO

i just bought 72 bags

"Small & Large v14 Unfathomable Medium armor: Morag Tong & Hawks Eye"

i got 1 hawks eye item, 2 crusader items

all the rest were shadowhide basic armor.
