Witches' Festival Items Now Available in the Crown Store - 10/22 (All platforms)

ZOS_JasonLeavey

Greetings!

Today, we've added three brand new items to the Crown Store celebrating the Witches' Festival. Please note that these are limited-time items, and each will be removed from the Crown Store on November 2. The following items are now available:

The Pumpkin Spectre Polymorph


The Scarecrow Spectre Polymorph


The Zombie Horse


As always, share your images with us!

@ZOS_JasonLeavey Even though the Daedrat is on the "Featured" list, I presume that it's still not going to be removed?

Pumpkin Spectre looks nice. That may be my first purchase ever from the crown store

ZOS_JasonLeavey

@KriHavok That's correct, the Daedrat is not being removed today. Glad you're liking the Pumpkin Spectre, @myrrrorb14_ESO!

I take it you are going to plan for these kinds of events yearly? such as a "christmas" themed event and what not?

I must have that zombie horse. Too cool to pass up.

Wild skeletal guar could not stop them. Woe unto the soul who attempts it. I fear what is going to happen.

Greetings,

Have a doubt.
Past days, on the first news about the Witches Festival, was said the new limited-time items, "The Pumpkin Spectre Polymorph", "The Scarecrow Spectre Polymorph" and "The Zombie Horse" will be removed on November 2 PLUS the "Daedrat", "Mind-Shriven Skin" and "Mind-Shriven Horse" (IC itens) will be removed too on November 2 (they are in featured list)

So, this situation changed?
Only the Witches Festival itens will be removed on November 2 and the IC itens will remain in crown store like the others?

Need to have sure about this matter for future purchases.

The polymorphs don't do much for me but I'll be snagging that zombie horse.

@Dedhed, a skeletal guar sounds terrifying! It's always a possibility for the future, but we think the Zombie Horse may satisfy your craving for nightmare-inducing mounts.

@Roxxiga, yup! We've adjusted the article to reflect that the daedrat will not be removed as we previously intended.

Hope this helps,

@ZOS_JasonLeavey Well it seems like fire is a bit hotter than usual for my wooden figure...

Three costumes ... Other developers have ruined their own games with holidays's events...But for three costumes you don't be so dramatic

GTech_1

I don't know what you folks are talking about. In-game holiday events are a blast.
I wish ESO had them.

If forcing lore to introduce three costumes and a horse skin save this game from cancellation, it says the player base is pretty bad. ZoS is setting a dangerous precident. ESO must have picked up some Lotro management in the last year or so.

Oh, wait, how many real players are gone from launch?

The Pumpkin Spectre Polymorph is now mine!
... and I'm gonna party like it's 2E 99!

ZOS, this was a perfect opportunity for you to elaborate on Tamriel's Holidays, which you would've done an awesome job with if you had even tried, but I guess you decided to go with the cliché Halloween Party instead...

You've done an amazing job with most of the lore, and I am truly grateful that you do Loremaster's Archives, but what you did with the Witches' Festival wasn't one of those, it was the exact opposite.

No girly stuff at all? No witch hat costume? No Broom Mount? Nothing girly at all?
Boo.
(And not in the mirthful way, either.)

I just noticed that the undead horse, and apparently all the horses, seem to have their front legs get longer and shorter as they breathe.

To most RPers, the tamrielic calendar is 1:1 with real world Calendar... The Witches festival, 13th of Frostfall was on the 13th of October. Its the small things that can make it really make the biggest difference to me... If they released them on the 13th of October so RPers could have a Witches Festival on their own, I would have less of an issue, but the fact they released it on the 22nd instead, a date that corresponds more with Halloween than the Witches Festival rings more of neglect and laziness on the part of ZOS. It almost seems as if they're saying Witches Festival sarcastically, letting everyone know that they're not supporting lore-friendly holidays any more than a late honorable mention.

You could replace every mention of Witches Festival with Halloween and it'd sound more true. But someone must've given them the message a bit too late that the Witches Festival /= Halloween.

Fecius

It's so nice

angelsimaren

I still like my Mind-Shriven Horse and Mind-Shriven Skin combo!

Rajajshka

@Zos there's a pre-viewing issue with zombie horse, can't see it before buying it

Ghrimn

@Sentinel
It just doesn't make any sense lorewise... the items they're selling, the date when they're selling them, nothing makes sense. It's like they're trying to sell Easter eggs for Christmas on the 3rd of January in northern Africa.

Sure thing. Glad to help

Picked these up last night and they're fantastic. I can't wait to lead a PvP raid on Halloween with everyone in costume.

TheHeroQueen

Can anyone tell me how much crowns each of these 3 items are? I can't seem to find the prices anywhere online, and I'm not near my PS4 at the moment to check in-game. I want to pick up both the horse and at least one of the polymorphs.

Edit: Ha, all that googling and I just needed to head directly to the site! I don't know why that never crossed my mind, haha.

Zombie Horse - 2500 crowns
Pumpkin & Scarecrow Spectre - 1200 crowns each

Oof, those polymorphs are a little bit expensive, so might just stick with my quest reward Skeleton polymorph for now...
