The Crown Store caravan has arrived bearing two rare new items! The Masked Bear mount and Dark Shaman costume are now available in the Crown Store on all platforms for a limited time, starting today (August 25th) through August 29th at 10AM EDT. Look for both in the “Featured” section of the in-game Crown Store!

Both swift and strong, the Masked Bear of the Jerall Mountains is a popular mount along the high passes between Bruma and Falkreath. They're particularly common in the region around Pale Pass; mountain travelers leave offerings for them at “bear bars" along the trail, which is how they may have come to be domesticated.

The Masked Bear mount costs 2,500 crowns and is available on all platforms for a limited time, from August 25 to August 29.

Far from town, temple, and market, those of ill intent meet in secret conclave to importune the forces of darkness for power and mastery. Behold here the dire raiment they don for this fell purpose. To wear such vestments is to express a longing for darkness and chaos.

The Dark Shaman costume costs 1,200 crowns and is available on all platforms for a limited time, from August 25 to August 29.


We’d love to see screenshots of your characters with these two latest offerings! Share them with us here, on Twitter at /TESOnline, or in Instagram at /elderscrollsonline.

    I'm assuming the Dark Shaman is actually a costume and not a mount? If so, there's a typo in the post.

    I hope that the price of the costume is also a typo...

    That part is correct, unfortunately.

    If you had made that bear into a panda bear instead of something that sort of looks vaguely like one, you would sell a lot more of them.

    Hmm. Now to decide.

    Spend 2500 on a mount and 1200 on a costume, or spend double that trying to get them with Crown Crates in November.

    It is just so hard to decide!

    No need to decide! Spend the 3700 on both now and drop another 5k later this year getting the exclusive reskins from the lockboxes! Everybody wins! (where everyone == ZOS)

    Hmm. Interesting perspective.

    Spend 8700 Crowns on these plus the lockbox reskins. I think I have my decision! Thanks!

    I think ZOS really needs to chill out on the prices with these mounts and costumes. Like you guys are really making mounts more than certain dlcs, and almost as expensive as some? Around $20 for one mount and about $10 for a costume? Thats really asking alot for people who are really into the game.

    1200 for the shaman costume? Ohh wait... It's limited time (until the loot crates in Nov)!

    I agree with swurrv. I have missed the last few limited items because they are priced so high! Im tight for cash but im still paying for eso+ yet i would have to drop an extra $30 to $50 to get the only items i want which was limited to 4 days. Its ridiculous. And 2.5k for the bear? Seriously? The guar looks cooler and its not even limited and cheaper. Wdf? I could see 2k maybe.. but still a stretch

    If you are ESO+ you should have a chance for these to drop in game some times.

    I'll have to pass this month, A bear that's simply re skinned to look like a panda is unacceptable when asking 2500 crowns for it. Is it supposed to be a Andean short-faced bear? If so then it's poorly done I'm afraid.

    It looks more like the afterbirth of when a Honey Badger and a panda get jiggy.
