Is The Black Fredas Sale Still Happening?

The current F2P weekend sales are going on right now, but that is extremely close to Black Friday. Considering this, I was wondering if Zenimax was still planning to host a Black Fredas sale again this year. My computer will be out of commission around that time, so I was planning to make time Friday to catch the deals before I pack everything up. Don't know if I should take the crown deals now or wait for the Black Friday sale. Does anybody know if that's going to happen, or should I take advantage of the sale now?

Thanks.

    I would assume it will start on the 25th and last till December, like the previous Black Fredas

    I recommend getting the crowns now. They don't always do crown sales at the same time each year, and we have already had two sales recently so I am not expecting another this year.

    I am new to ESO so wasn't around last year when the Black Fredas sale happened. My question, since I'm on Xbox and we haven't been able to get any of the recent discounts, is whether or not people on Xbox were able to get the Black Fredas deals last year, or were they skipped as is par for the course. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Wasn't around last year. Do they bring back cool items or just discount the lame stuff currently in there?

    They did a special bundle with an exclusive mount (a green guar) with potions, scrolls xp, crowns food and soul gems for a special price.

    Hmm... a bit disappointing given how much has been added to the Crown store. A camel that was unpopular (last year it was a unique green guar) and a load of stuff to fill up inventory. I will buy almost anything if it's a bargain, but not today.

    I agree. Was hoping they'd bring back some stuff or at least slash prices on everything in the store currently. In-game food,pots,poisons are good enough for me. Also, is the camel whitish in color? Looks like it in the artwork, but looks tan in the photo. Valued at $91. SMH. No. $20 is fair I guess. This is a game, not a utility bill?!? Geez

    They could really have done a lot more with the camel, it's hardly any different from the original, just slightly more desaturated. Least they could have done was to give the saddle new textures, like they did with the Camel of Ill Omen.

    Oh well...

    Sorry for the double post, but I went ahead and bought it. I'm actually pretty pleased with it, I enjoy the look of it more than the original orange camel.

    I agree that it's disappointing. The sale could've been for some more popular/useful/practical items. Half or so of the stuff in the sale would be a waste of crowns to buy.

    I bought it because I was thinking about buying speed lessons for my PvP character and for an extra 900cr, I didn't mind all the other stuff. The 10 extra carry lessons are always useful too. Won't use the camel, but can't really complain. I was hoping for a wee sale on some of the older motifs such as the Dwemer one. 50% off would have been a nice price because i refuse to pay 5000cr for it and it's very over priced in guild stores (PS4) compared to what it was this time last year when i was on the xbone.

    I have a name for this years Black Friday Special. PATHETIC. Boy ZOS you really went all out this year. I would of thought you would have offered popular items or maybe some discontinued items that have been requested time and time again.
