New Items Available in the Crown Store – 9/3 (PC/Mac)

ZOS_JasonLeavey

Greetings, PC/Mac players!

We’ve now updated the ESOTU Crown Store to include two new items: the Bag Upgrade and the Bank Upgrade! With the Bag Upgrade, you can increase your bag inventory capacity by 10 slots (though you won’t be able to exceed the maximum size available from Backpack Merchants). With the Bank Upgrade, you’ll be able to increase your bank capacity by 10 slots, (again, you can't exceed the maximum size available from Bankers). You can pick up these new items today in the Crown Store for PC and Mac!



These upgrades will be available in the Xbox One Crown Store on September 15 and the PlayStation 4 Crown Store on September 16.

Does the crown price of these scale depending on how many existing slots you already have - as it scales in game?

Hey there, @wenxue2222b16_ESO. The crown price for the bank and bag upgrades don't scale. The pricing is always the same.

I know you're fairly new at this, but you really should learn how to attractively price your items. ~$1/slot? Really?! The absolute cheapest it can go is 72.7 cents/slot if purchasing using crowns from the 5500 crown pack.

Not including the 60 bank slots, just character slots, I'd do way better paying retail price (something I'd never do) for a second account to get 480 slots at 12.5 cents/slot (basically 8 slots for the price of 1). Or 8.37 cents/slot with the current Steam sale ($40.19). Or 2.5 cents/slot with a recent Green Man Gaming sale I read about ($12 for the game).

And it takes very little gold to bump up the characters on a second account to 70 or 80 slots each further driving lower the per slot price. Add in the ability to form a guild (with others in the same situation) to get access to guild storage to facilitate transferring items between accounts and a second account becomes even more usable.

I suggest you should be offering those 10 slot items for 200-250 crowns ($2-$2.50) which is 20-25 cents/slot. About double the price of buying a second account at retail price, but then it does come with the convenience of having all the slots accessible on the same account. That's worth paying a bit extra. Your increase in sales would easily overcome the drop in price.

Of course, I'm not the least bit surprised by the appearance of these store items. As soon as I read the patch note regarding the "added three ranks of bag upgrades", I noted the carefully worded "gold cost that follows the existing pattern for bag upgrades". I laughed out loud (in real life!) at that one and logged in to check out the gold prices attached to those upgrades. I then knew a store item was imminent. I figured it would be priced the same as the equally ridiculous riding lesson and I even checked the store on patch day expecting to see the newly added items. That was the only surprise to me. You released the store items days after the patch instead of on patch day. Missed opportunity? Not with me. I paid gold for some upgrades and will continue doing so.

I know some will buy slots with crowns because they simply have crowns sitting around. But here's my bottom line. I'm a severe packrat. Always have been in MMO's ever since starting in WoW (I leveled a tailor solely to make bags for my characters). I have maxed all my storage in both LOTRO using Turbine Points and SWTOR using Cartel Coins. But for ESO I must laughingly continue saying No.

You guys do such a great job at screwing your subscriber base over. Yeah, I get that this all mighty crafting bag for ESO Plus members is "in the works"... so is the removal of the vet system. Your inventory and bank system sucked from the beginning so to charge this to help with your poor design, pretty sad.

What is the current price of the upgrades in crowns?

Looking at the various comments here (especially the one from @Altairien), I'd say 1,000 crowns for a 10 slots.

Which fits in with the cost of riding lessons.

Zos might as well sell gold in the crown store lol

Well that is good for the people that play the game on the PC. What I want to know is why this addition to the crown store is not available for us players who play the game on xbox one or sony ps4 next gen consoles.

I have enjoyed playing the game on xbox one but I have not seen anything new in the store ever since you launched the game and do not know why?

Please support this by adding new things for us players to purchase to enhance our characters which is a must have to give us a reason to play the game as well as an incentive for new players start playing this game with a lot of potential.

Herelacfreahelm

Thanks and it looks like they will add this after all and keep up the good work. Hope to have the option to also purchase in the crown store for xbox one the option to buy a few more character slots on my account would be nice.

Maybe it is not on consoles because it is a new mechanism that requires a game update. It was probably included in IC update.

So I expect you will see this in the console stores when IC roles out on console.

Consoles need the update/patch that the PC just got. The consoles do not receive this until 09/15 or 09/16 depending on the platform.

Read the notices they put out, all the information is there.

I was curious to know if both new motifs will be available for purchase for consoles on September 15th with Impreial DLC rollout?

Can't wait to throw money at the crown store for that bank upgrade.
