Help to the returning player?

AshySamurai

Hello. As a returning player (it was a really long time tbh) I have a small question. I don't ask about what's new or anything. I'm just curious if there were too much of time limited stuff which I won't be able to get no matter what in last few years? Will I see a lot of stuff which looks cool and I would probably buy but won't be able to (due to IRL stuff)?
BTW good to see ya all.

All time limited stuff usually comes back at some time for a short duration, so even if you missed a few years you will still be able to get the stuff you want, just have to be patient.

So you say there is no stuff I can't buy (literally all stuff from all events are available)? That's sounds amaying. I think I will stick to the game

I don't think that is quite what Alcast is saying. Not everything is available at this very moment to buy, but it typically comes back in the Crown Store, etc.

The Indrik mounts and pets are time-limited as far as we know. That doesnt necessarily mean ZOS won't bring them back, but they havent said so.

Coming back right now, the only Indrik you can get is the Q4 Pure-Snow Indrik. Unless you really want to buy Event Tickets from the Crown Store, and then you could get the Onyx one.

With Indriks, the key is to buy the berries first, since those are exclusive to their quarter, then the Indrik pets if you want them, then the feathers.

About Indriks, in this guide, ZOS stated that they'll come back, though not when nor how.

This is the relevant quote

Note that once the final event in a quarter ends, you will NO LONGER be able to purchase any of those Berries. If you were unable to complete your evolution, we recommend holding onto the ones you have, as we plan on giving players new opportunities to complete them at a later time.

Though, as previously stated, right now we have no idea when and where (crown store or in game events) they'll come back

I would strongly encourage you not to worry at all about time limited events or items.

The primary reason why product sellers create "limited time" offerings - especially in a digital environment - is to cultivate fear of missing out (FOMO). FOMO is a powerful marketing tool that takes advantage of our natures to manipulate us into spending money that we wouldn't have otherwise spent. It short-circuits rational decision-making. Just be aware of that so you can make mindful purchases that are driven by what you actually want and not by FOMO pressure.
