What will you do if you have 150,000 crowns

wondertroll

Hello, all! As the title suggests, what would you do if you have 150000 crowns?

WIll you:

-buy items that give you a competitive edge in pvp and pve, if so what?


-Buy cosmetic items which make you look really bad-ass and is a limited time, if so what?


I am currently looking to buy items that give me a competitive edge in pvp and pve permanently on top of some homestead upgrades/utility items for pve/pvp. Here are some thoughts I have in mind:

-Mundus stones (On demand)
-best crafting stations (General & for specific sets)
- Some sick home furnishings like the crystals (E.G. Welkynd Stones, glowing ), Pillars (High elf street light), Lighting ( Daedric Braizer, Molag bal)


^ any one knows if any of the above items can be obtained other than spending crowns?

How would you guys spend 150,000 crowns if you do actually have it?



Just looking for nice people who have experience and are kind enough to give genuine opinions, thank you ! (:

There is nothing like that in the crown store. The only weapon was "Pay to Lose Broom" which was a joke for April Fool's.

MythicEmperor

Save it as that is the day that ZO$ would decide to sell their next horse reskin for 150,000.

Froil

I'd buy what I currently want, which is just a few cheap things, and save the rest for DLC, new costumes, mounts, pets, hairs etc...

The experience scrolls and something-tri restoration potions don't count as advantages?

Crown Store Tri-Pots are worse than crafted ones and with a CP cap it doesn't matter how fast you gain CPs above the cap.

Well they certainly don't give you a competitive edge in PVP or PVE. XP scrolls just provide convenience for leveling fast and the crown store food and potions are weaker than those made by crafters in game.

ForsakenSin

me realizing i got 150k crowns....

Hmm, so I can't use crowns to Max out ALL crafting skills (alchemy, enchanting etc) other than skill points? --> This is a must for me because in order to have great gear, you first need to have GREAT gold for crafting

-And I can't max ALL available passibes, abilities, morph, combat traits (from mages guild fighters guild dark brotherhood etc etc) using crowns as well


Do u know if its possible to Max out both Crafting skills, and available passibes, abilities, morph, combat traits (from mages guild fighters guild dark brotherhood etc etc) for ULTIMATE PVE and PVP PERFORMANCE using just skill points alone?

Froil

@wondertroll
Well if you must know, the Abah's Watch turban, the "Drifting Sands" tunic and sash, Grazelands Gentlemer Farmer, Pact Dragonclaw Circlet and Covenant Lion Circlet and Adornment and Hair bundles. So total like 3900 crowns. Honestly I could probably just do with the tunic and Adornment bundle/Pact Dragonclaw Circlet.

That's very interesting... I would love to look like Aladin in-game too. I'll probably buy Chinese new-year themed stuff if they have any of those.

Rohamad_Ali

Isn't that the price of one big house ?

Sheyta

Hm I
From the point of view I paid for them with real money ?

I probly would make a way to stop the purchase by calling my cc holder and tell them my cc was stolen or any way possible to stop me getting billed for 150k of crowns....

And in game well I mostly have what I want from crown store.

It's not like Everything is nice most is crap

I admit I bought houses and furniture from crown store problem is crown store don't have what I want or willing to pay to be able to play eso sims

Stonyfoot

I already bought the banker and the merchant, and have ESO+ for the DLC so... I guess I wouldn't buy anything.

Volsera

Unlock all DLC, buy mounts and pets and a fully furnished house.

(I bought the Guild of Glory megapack and a fully furnished house and am now waiting for the dwarven chroma spider mount.. This sale has not been good for me)

Beardimus

There is nothing you can buy that gives you a mega competitive advantage, as that would be P2W.

I assume its either day 1 for you in the game or you are after your name sake.

Well, its worth a try. Honestly, I see nothing wrong with a p2w biz model provided it dosent alter gameplay drastically....

If I can use crowns to buy mundus stones, vendors with guild store/bank/repair/fence, teleport mechanisms to portal me from my house to major cities, crafting stations that give me X% more output than normal ones, that would be great! (Considering the long load time when u move from 1 instance/zone to another in ESO)

It dosent alter pve and pvp gameplay drastically and provide lots of convenience.

Some people might argue its not fair, but whatever they grind for in game-hours, the person has grinded in real-life hours to be able to afford that stuff. This allows me to be more efficient @ work and leisure time gamig


I know peole may not agree with me, but its cool, I respect your points of view (:

Turelus

Probably buy some of the houses I want.

Otherwise I guess just sit on it and buy things I like as they come up and not need to buy Crowns for a year or so.

Not even close. The Hakkvild house (whatever the full correct name is) for example furnished is 15,000 and Grand Topal Hideaway (when it was on the store) I think was 18,800 furnished.

That's correct, you can't use crowns to max out any crafting skill or any abilities. They don't sell extra skill points or anything like that.

Just cosmetic stuff and convenience items like XP scrolls to level up faster, research scrolls to research traits faster, no pay to win items in the crown store so far, nothing that provides competitive edge in PVP vs people who don't spend crowns, etc.

BigBadVolk

Would buy some crown repair kits those are much better then the ingame ones maybe p2w

Cool, thank you. Just by sheer grinding and leveling up alone, can you Max out both Crafting skills, and available passives, abilities, morph, combat traits (from mages guild fighters guild dark brotherhood etc?

What houses are you looking forward to buy/have already bought? Any tips on houses that will actually provide utility? or help you get "better PR" in game with other players? (I see a lot of players doing this)

Why? Is it because they are cheaper/faster to obtain?

Cadbury

I'd buy any DLCs I don't have (IC, SOTH, etc.) and maybe sit on the rest until another limited time house pops up.

bebynnag

I would buy 30 packs of 15 crown crates...

if only i could keep the 450 nixhounds i could finally open that petting zoo ive always dreamed of!

kiyoshigawa

I'd buy up a bunch of furnished houses, and hope they increase housing item limits in the future so I can use the furnishings to properly decorate some larger homes.

Banana

Take myself off to the nut house if i was the one who had paid for them

It does not matter that they are worse nor that there is a cap. To determine if it provides a paying player with an advantage, you need to compare players of equal skill putting equal effort into the game. Now suppose of two players of equal skill (i.e. equally efificent in transforming time into assests/power), player A bought booster scrolls and some potions, did nothing else but grind and it took him X amount of time to reach the cap. Player B, who spend the same X amount of time doing the same, but without touching his payment card, would be bellow the cap with no potions at all. Clearly, player A would have an advantage over player B, therefore cash shop is P2W.

Mircat9000

Geez, 150K crowns...

I'd likely drop a few thousand for an unfurnished ebonheart chateau, get both the hair and adornment bundles, and the rest; i guess i'd hold onto it and wait for the stag mount i've been wanting, stock up on exp scrolls whenever i decide to do long questlines.

Dracindo

Wait for the dragon mounts. 150k crowns seems like a reasonable Zo$ price.

For me I would buy the ones I like the look of, the next on my list is the Ebonheart Chateau as I want to use it as a personal trophy house (and have my current house as a personal retreat to relax and craft in).

PR I guess any of the ones which were limited time only from the Crown Store, but those are a two edge blade as some people will attack you for spending Crowns on something you want.

Utility, any which port you into a large flat area you can place all the crafting/bank etc. and save you moving to them.
