Ebony Epidermis Available in the Crown Store for a Limited Time (All Platforms)

ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Our latest ESO Crown Store offering is wrapped in mystery. How does it make those who wear it look like their very skin is created from swirling, otherworldly Ebony? There are only rumors. Will the Ebony Epidermis become your new look?

Ebony Epidermis Skin

Never trust an alchemist with a Daedric scroll—you might end up with skin that's the color and hardness of Ebony! Unless you think that's a good idea, in which case, we've literally got you covered.

The Ebony Epidermis is available on all platforms for a limited time from August 10 to August 14 at 10am EDT, and costs 1,200 crowns.

Has the Ebony Epidermis caught your eye? Post your pictures here, or share them with us on Twitter or Instagram.

The promotional image looked... shinier and nicer. Must've been all that color-coordinated fog in the background. In-game, it looks exactly like a recolored Spiderkith.

Agree, extremely disappointing. Wife and me saw the promotional pictures and was really hyped for it, then we saw it in game and just sighed. Not buying it now.

Agreed. I was HYPED for this skin when I saw it showcased but rather disappointing after viewing it today. It even looks worse on console (if that is possible). Price isn't too bad. I would have gladly paid 1500,2k even if the skin was as awesome as they showed in promotional image. False advertisement...such is the way at Zo$. At this point, we should just be happy it isn't bugged like most other things the company releases...

Later Edit: I spoke too quickly it appeared... Preview may be bugged, I jinxed it. I should have known they couldn't release something without SOMETHING being bug'd.

Does wearing this skin increase my housing item size by 500 slots?

It looks exactly like a recolored spiderkith skin in the promo too, it's just got different lighting on it.

Mods are locking complaint threads for damage control. Lol

Personally I never understood why there is a need for four threads on the same topic. I've seen merging of threads in other forums but I guess that's not possible here.

There are a couple of the "complaint" threads that are still open and running anyway, because they are being civil and/or constructive about their issue with the skin. The one that got closed was just mouthtrash and bashing the devs. Mojmir is just being a dramallama.

Oh yeah, I just think in general the feedback would be best served in this ... well ... official thread. Best exposure, no? Especially if there is displaying bugs etc as well.

There wasn't one until after,this happens everytime/all the time. Call it drama if like,not everyone is prim and proper when they're disappointed.look around the forums and you'll find plenty of the same,but yet those threads are open still.

Doesn't look as good as the promo pic. I guess I'll be saving my money.

Yup.. that's what I would want to know as well. When will we hear about housing item slot increases instead of crown store skins that apparently, do not look as advertised??

Deceptive lighting to give artificial purple shine. ZO$ Marketing on their game as usual.

I'm really disappointed that ZOS doesn't invest more time and effort in crown store offers like this. The promotional picture looked really promising but I was already afraid it's just a recoloring. Sad to see I was right.

I thought the promo pictures made it obvious enough it was a recolor..
Not to mention the NPC in the game that looks like this
And the datamining...

idk

Yes. Pictures from it on live are rather disappointing. Boring.

I do like the look on Argonian tails. I have been waiting forever to dye my weapons purple, but in the meantime I'll gladly turn my skin purple.

Aixy

The skin is so so ugly, i will not buy it... try to do better next time sorry

Morgul667

This looks ... bad

i really enjoy having the ebony epidermis skin! Heavy armor covers it all up, but I like catching a glimpse of it when I'm crafting : )

kylewwefan

It's looking good! You can use it with costumes and still shows through. Looks great on Argonian and quite nifty on Khajit also. I spent too much time making my Khajit tiger looks so not on him.

Here's some pics @kylewwefan
Will try it out on an Argonian tomorrow if I have time

Same Issue: The limited ebony skin looks different in preview to actual.

On my Dunmer Vampire the preview shows her irises in front of the glow and it looks awesome...


In actuality the skin makes the eyes pure purple...

Ugh, why can't we ever get an eye option like the preview, we have blind oracle eyes so why not a glow one like in the preview instead of a solid color as seems to be the case with most skins.

That would be the only case I would buy this thing.

I was wondering too, would love to have this skin. Would prefer it to come back to the CS, but crates are ok too.
