Greymoor Physical Collector Edition Cost Released

mateosalvaje · January 2020

I really don't think the price is too high, things get more expensive as time goes by. I remember buying candy bars for 50 cents, now they're a dollar 😜

The physical Imperial edition was awesome, and I'm excited for this one too! The statue looks great and so do the coins... THE COINS!!!

I skipped the Morrowind physical edition, and the Summerset book's binding was kinda meh, but Mephala? MEPHALA!!! Sorry for all the caps, I'm really super excited 😁

Those types of coins usually sell for at least 20$, so that's at least 80$ right there and the statues are priceless so...

All things considered I think this physical edition will be totally worth all the cost! Yaaaaaaaay! 😜

No book art?

Nope and they could have made it a really nice one ....this is my problem, it seems the taint of Todd Howards Bethesda is moving towards ZoS....I just hope that they don't end up recalling the statue for mold like they did the Fallout 76 helmet.

Allowing for inflation, and using Morrowind as the example to give the worst case scenario:

Morrowind in 2017 was £89.99. In 2020, this price is the equivalent of £96.

It's being sold for £119.99, or to put it another way, 25% more than the adjusted price of Morrowind.

For LESS content.

Why isn't this available via Amazon like the other physical expansions have been in the past?

Smaxx · January 2020

If you expect it to be on Amazon as before but it isn't, it's very likely they simply haven't added the listing yet. Just be patient.

I'll have to be I guess. I can wait a couple of weeks to see if it shows up.

Go here: https://elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/joinus

Select Physical Collectors Edition, then your platform and Region, and it should tell you whether it is available where you live, and where from.

Hmm doesnt seem so,at least not yet

Aimora · January 2020

I have bought every other Physical Collectors Edition, but this one just seems to be a high price for not a great deal so this time - I just bought the digital upgrade as this is too over priced for me!

Jenzi · January 2020

Definitely would have gotten a dragon statue if they had a physical CE with Elsweyr, but I have no interest whatsoever in that Vampire statue. I will however get the digital CE.

Try to check Amazon where you live, if that's a possibility. At least in Germany, that's where I was able to order it

Sadly it always seems that the online stores in Canada, including Amazon are the last to get their listings.... still waiting... and still undecided.

Perashim · January 2020

Honestly all I want is the Vampire Lord statue.

That being said, $130 is definitely not worth that it.

For me its the price once you add in the shipping cost. If I wanted that CE I'd be spending another 40 or so dollars just to get it on my doorstep a few days after the launch date.

Nebthet78 · January 2020

Sorry ZOS $185.31CAD is far too much for what you are giving with the Physical Collector's Edition upgrade.

Had you sold it at $169.99, which would have been the $130USD with exchange rate to Canadian would have been acceptable. But not at the price listed. Kinda hoping this one fails for you now.

Summerset was $119.99 and Morrowind was $139.99 which were still slightly higher than the USD price, but not so much to be an obvious rip off.

Linaleah · January 2020

the more I thought about this the more sure I personaly have become that this is not for me. too much money for not enough out of it. coins I don't care for and never have. steel book that I also don't care for and have no idea what to do with. no art book.

$65 for a statue. for that money, it had better be painted in full color at the very least. since its not... pass.

grizzledcroc · January 2020

Im really bummed no art book esp with how many dlcs has been out with juicy concept art, plz zos ;c

Same, bought all CE's day one, but will be skipping this for sure. Overpriced, with less content. Lack of an artbook is especially surprising when they have so much unpublished concept art to draw from at this point (Murkmire, Elsweyr, Dragonhold, Skyrim, and all dungeon DLCs inbetween).

I won't pre-purchase until I see more info on the zone. Lack of new gameplay mechanics like a new weapon skill line or guild skill line means that right now, we're just being asked to pay $40+ for a new zone to do exactly the same questing templates in. No other MMO does that - they all offer significantly more zones than ESO does, with big new gameplay mechanic updates, and usually for $30+. We really need to stop defending ZOS for charging so much for so little, no matter how much we all love the game. We're setting a precedent for accepting minimum effort content for the highest price here.

My current plan is to wait for late 2020 and see if they offer 70% off like they did for Elsweyr this year. That's about what the content is worth from what they've shown off so far. If they want to announce one-hand-and-spell weapons or a new guild skill line, or a battlemage class or something, then I'm happy to reconsider. Right now, it's the worst value and lowest content Chapter in the game's history, and I refuse to support that when ESO was already offering poor value expansions compared to the competition.

Not falling for that again. I can wait until next Christmas and see if they discount it 70% like they did with Elseweyr.

Yep, think this is the first time I won't be buying a Chapter day one, but waiting for a big discount. And I bought the physical CEs for all the Chapters that had them, and the base game CE. Mostly for the beautiful art books:

This Chapter is just so underwhelming. No one hand and spell line, no bard line, no arena, only a tiny section of Skyrim since almost half the new content is underground...

The vampire revamp is fantastic news, but it's also confirmed as a base game update too, so no need to buy the Chapter for that. And as great as archaeology antiquities sounds, I'm not paying $40+ for that.

ZOS know that their previous Chapters have always lacked in content compared to other MMO expansions, and it's always been a big criticism. Yes, they churn them out faster than the competition, but they also charge crazy high prices for their expansions. And 2020's Chapter looks like they're experimenting with how little they can get away with charging for. Other than antiquities there's nothing new here mechanically. It's just a relatively small new zone to quest in, for $40-130. That's a hard pass from me

What are the 3 front most books? I only recognize the ones in the back.

@Personofsecrets Those are from a book collection called The Hero's Guide to ESO. They produced a limited run of 10,000 copies and numbered them all. They're very high quality, and the alchemy journal is especially impressive since it's full of illustrations of ingredients! You should be able to find them online but I'm not sure what the pricing will be like these days.

I loved the deer antlers and sheepskin they used in all the promotional shots so I sourced some of my own to display them in a similar way in my cabinet

Mine:

So yes, disappointed that there won't be an artbook for the second Chapter in a row, and it should speak volumes that despite this collection I have no interest in buying Skyrim/Greymoor this year, both for lack of gameplay features and lack of CE artbook.

But since ZOS were happy to sell items like Elsweyr's Wrathstone tablet separately last year, maybe there's still hope that ZOS can produce a new artbook to sell on the official merch store? Nudge nudge @ZOS_GinaBruno Same size as the original game's and Morrowind's CE artbooks, covering concept art from Elsweyr, Murkmire, and Skyrim would be amazing, and I'll happily throw my wallet at that for you

Thank you for sharing and, yes, it would be so nice if they continued making the books. I sort of had a bad feeling when we got the small one...

Not sure why there would be any surprise for the cost of a Physical collectors edition. Your getting physical items that are very costly to set up the initial production on. They are very cool items to some and maybe not to others.

If you don't care for the physical items then your cost goes down to $49.99 which in comparison to the other digital collectors packages is lower than the past average.

The only comparison should be to other physical tangible collectors packages. And the ship[ping is a fixed cost depending on how it's sent. They are not making any money on the shipping.

It’s about previous CEs vs the Greymoor CE. And compared to the Imperial Edition and the Morrowind CE, the Greymoor CE has less stuff in it but costs a lot more. That doesn’t add up, especially when a Chapter is as shallow and devoid of features as Greymoor is.

How is the Greymoor digital CE upgrade at $49.99 lower than the past average when the Elsweyr CE upgrade was also $49.99 and both Morrowind and Summerset CE upgrades were $39.99? Meanwhile, the physical edition is significantly more expensive than previous physical CEs ($130 vs. $90-$100), while the physical contents are comparable at best (provided you like exonumia) and the digital content is much less.

While the newest chapter itself is also comparable *at best* to Summerset at least (zone, skill line, trial, pre-order and CE bonuses of the same varieties), the physical CE is only an “upgrade” this time around, so there’s no starting with it from scratch or using it to catch up on past chapters - those are all “sold separately” on top of the $130 price tag.

Is $80 worth the upcharge for the physical items alone? By comparison, the entire Summerset CE (probably the closest in terms of comparisons, as it didn’t include a new race or class) was $90 altogether - and that included the base game, Morrowind, and the Summerset CE (sold together in the full digital CE edition for $60). So Summerset had a $30 upcharge for the physical items from its corresponding digital edition, while Greymoor is +$80. Are the physical items in this chapter worth $50 more than the ones that came with Summerset? That’s a huge jump in price differential.

As for shipping, it does cost retailers to ship, of course. Several of them comp that, but even those who do charge are passing on a much more realistic cost: Summerset incurred a $11.80 shipping and handling charge for launch day delivery from Newegg, for example. It makes the $35 charge from Bethesda stick out like a sore thumb: that’s 27% of the product’s MSRP. If it costs Bethesda three times as much as Newegg to ship the same size box, they need to re-examine their logistics. If it doesn’t, then yes, they are making money on the shipping.

ETA: It cost me personally less than $20 to re-ship the Summerset CE, so there’s no way it should cost a business that ships in bulk any more than that. Up to you if you think $15+ handling is fair.

I've preordered, but for £119.99, it is very expensive. I'll just be having a good think over the next few months about whether I really want this or not, and then cancel/not cancel the preorder.

I'm missing something. If we get it on Amazon, it's free shipping. What's the catch?

The mount is delivered on launch for all physical CE orders.
