Still no female high elf costumes? I don't understand why they are being withheld.

Those costumes are unisex and "female" characters can wear them just as much as "male" characters. What's a "female" costume supposed to look like anyway? Mmhmm.

I'm surprised we are getting the Kena set next instead of an easier dungeon. There will be some pain in vet pug groups!

Aliyavana

can we have a engine guardian or sentinel monster weapon set soon? I love all things dwemer. Also please release the dwemer colossus furnishing

[SUMMERSET SPOILERS]

So in Sotha Sil's workshop in Artauem, there's a full Dwarven Colossus hanging in a corner.



It's hanging to the ceiling via a connector.


Any chance we can get this big boy for our own housing in some way?

I would guess the dresses and skirted costumes which NPC's have. They're unisex for players but generally female for NPC's.

Cant access the article, the age gate thing doesn’t work... I’m past forty and I’m locked out by the dam age gate

Okay, so I can acces it with any browser except safari..... okey dokey

On a side note, the lighting effect staff is nice, the rest is a bit meh. Also I will pass on a bit of feed back from my guild, stick an option to make female nord charecters as big as Lyris and they will give you all the monies

@ZOS_GinaBruno , is there any possibility that the Firepet Spider is supposed to be a Firepot Spider? ;P

@Jayne_Doe has shown me the error of my ways.

Kotusha

Prong-Eared Grimalkin looks a lot like my cat... except for the ears, my cat only has two

Rouven

A great dane!

SantieClaws

The snooty elf trash panda is quite appealing yes.

Alas this one she will be travelling away from Tamriel, like many at this time of year, so she will probably contact the support and see if they can hold one at an animal shelter until this one she can return to collect it.

Yours with paws

The noble female high elf costume was datamined a LONG time ago, in May of 2017 along with the Morrowind stuff. See "Altmer Female High Elf" under costumes on the first page.

Given how long it has been and the fact that it wasn't added to the CS in June, July, or August, I'm guessing they've scrapped the offering altogether.

I would totally buy Kena's pack if it would include her crown. Not the helm version, that icky dremora scalp ruins the look.

driosketch

Nothing super interesting for me this month, although I do have this sudden urge to go solve some mysteries. ZOinkS.

I would have sworn that the Hunter's Glade would be available at the launch of the Werewolf-themed DLC.

ADarklore

More weapon skins!! Yay!! Based on the picture, looks like a 'sword' AND 'dagger' or just two daggers... one appears longer than the other?!?

@R_K I would guess it will be announced as a LTO shortly after the release.

I noticed that, too, but then I read the flavor text:

In the Clockwork City, mechanical Firepot Spiders can be programmed to follow chefs around like little walking barbecues. Someone has devised a secret method for exporting them from Sotha Sil's hidden world as “Firepets”—but how? Better get one while you still can.

They are clearly designed for male bodies, have a male Altmer posing for it, and the description clearly indicates it's made for a male. Yes, females can wear these, but they are not unisex in their design. There are female Altmer dresses in-game that female NPCs are wearing - that is what we want.

Pariah's Pinnacle is returning for the Orsinium event, so August already has a Crown Store exclusive house scheduled.

CaffeinatedMayhem

"Prong-Eared Grimalkins are widely regarded as having supernatural powers thanks to their ability to appear almost instantly when a container of cat food is opened, and to fit themselves into boxes that seem entirely too small for them."

I must have one in-game! I have two in real life.

Recremen

Not gonna lie there's some choice offerings here! While not everything strikes my fancy there's a great selection for all types, it seems.

Carbonised

The weapon packs are becoming very uninteresting due to the elemental effects not being persistent.

Gonna get the firepot spider for my clockwork home, and it's 'meh' to the rest.

BigBadVolk

hmm that Dragon Priest costume looks intresting I hope it wont dye trash like the Telvanni Battlearmor

If Hunters Glade is going to be an overpriced Limited Time Sale that would be absolutely horrible . Housing is in DESPERATE need of clean empty spaces like Coldharbour Surreal Estate. It should really stay in the store and after looking at it in detail not be anymore then a maximum of 8-10k crowns. If theyll take another route on that matter and overprice it and put it up only for a few days i cant take the developers seriously anymore. And that comes from someone that gladly buys overpriced stuff like Aldmeri Grotto if i like it - but it should be clear to offer stuff housing really needs for an unlimited time to everyone - and thats an open space to be freely and truly creative, thats what the Glade will offer , like Coldharbour did before. If they keep that away from the majority of players it would be absolutely sad and ridiculous at the same time.

TonyRockaroni

That Tyrants of the Merethic furnishing pack...FINALLY! More dragon-related furnishings!

VaranisArano

Any plans for these?

Radiance

I would like the Great Dane if it looked more like Scooby Doo...
But eh, there's nothing I want this month. LOL

agasaagasai

Is this the last month for Summerset stuff to possibly come to the store? I've been really looking forward to that Maormer fish skin... Maybe have to wait till anniversary a year later...

Fortunatto

Oh come on
Give us almer female dresses pleaaase? All three tiers of them? They've been in game for a long time already

Jazdia

Why does the Prong-Eared Grimalkin have 4 ears? Confused.
