New Items Available in the Crown Store – 5/19

ZOS_JessicaFolsom

A new shipment of items has reached the Crown Store! Learn a little more about the latest pet and costume:

Blue Oasis Dragon Frog


The comical Blue Oasis Dragon Frog is native to Hew's Bane, and before they were bred as pets and widely exported, they could be found only on that Hammerfell peninsula. These little bug-eaters are popular mascots at open-air taverns, and can be trained to puff out small flames to light Bosmeri bug-smoke pipes.


Treasure Hunter Costume


The serious treasure hunter knows it's really all about the gear. Whether you're exploring subterranean catacombs, ancient ruins, or a shattered shipwreck, when you run into an obstacle, you want to have the right tool at hand. This outfit will tell everyone who sees it that you're a loot-hound who means business.

If pick up one of more of these new Crown Store offerings, we'd love to see screenshots and/or videos! Share them with us below or at TESOnline on Twitter.

Is it possible you post a list that shows order of what motifs are going to be released and the dates.

Lovely costume I must say except for the backpack clipping.



Also I echo @Krainor1974 and their sentiment, just waiting in limbo hoping a relevant motif comes out is a bit frustrating, maybe letting us know a bit earlier would be a good idea or making it absolutely consistent? For example adding Outlaw and the Alliance motifs (the ones added with the TG update) to the Crown Store the following DLC (Dark Brotherhood) and maintaining this consistently.

With this pattern, we know when they are coming and we can choose to either wait or not.

Some of us crafters like to farm for our styles... and the styles on the crown store is evil that a crafter have to live with. I am happy to let ZOS delaying putting styles in the crown store as long as they can. The longer, the better.

I like that Treasure Hunter Outfit. But I use it on my Material gatherer, fits him nicely.

No comment on the crown store sale itself, I'm waiting for the next crown pack sale so I can get some of the dlc, both old & new, because I don't have any yet...I'm hoping that they'll do that with the DB release.

However, an anecdote if I may, concerning sales and commercialism. I swear that this is true.

A long time ago, in a state far away (PA) I was working at a department store's shoe department as a sales clerk. The stock rooms in those places are difficult at best to keep in order, due to the multiple styles, and then multiple sizes on top of it. And when you're waiting on customers with stacks of shoes, it's easy to get the wrong shoes back into the wrong boxes. One time when we were taking stock, we found that we had a small pile of mismatches, single shoes, stuff that couldn't be sold as is....or so we thought.

The common thing to do would have been to write it all off, since there wasn't a matched pair in the whole pile. But my manager & I talked about it, and we started getting goofy, and one of us came up with the idea of a "mis-match" sale. We went through the piles, and put together best pairs that we could, similar styles, close but not quite same colors, and nearly same sizes. We ended up with about 15 "pairs" of shoes. We put them on display on a shoe tree, and advertised it specifically as a "mis-match" sale, and at the end of the week, we sold almost half of them. We wrote off the rest, but we drastically reduced that write-off, and were commended by the boss for thinking outside the "shoe"-box. (did Mr. Peabody say that?)

So Mr. Mike, what am de moral of de story? Well, you won't always have what the customer wants, but if you try something different , make it attractive & desirable, you just may sell some of the people some of the time...

sheesh, it's past my bedtime, and I still have 8 hours to work yet...
