This is the official discussion thread for the "Crown Store Showcase—June 2020" blog article.

With the launch of Greymoor on PC/Mac and console release on the horizon, let’s preview all of the incredible new and returning Crown Store items you can acquire in June for your upcoming adventure into Western Skyrim.

Er, is your formatting borked? I had to scroll through old announcements to get to what I presume are the new June items.

They tweeted saying there is an issue. Using ENG (INT'L) setting lets you view it correctly.

Packrat! I've almost forgiven you for gem exclusive watcher.

Also, I was like "Midyear Mayhem is all over the year again" and then remembered that it's really around middle of the year already. Time flies, I guess.

Midyear? Is Cyrodiil playable again or i missing something?

Should be fixed! Sorry about that.

Cool stuff, been waiting for the gloom cub thanks!

Question: will the packrat give additional five spaces even if one owns the bristleneck war boar already? Or is it the same five spaces just with another cosmetic optic pet? is it 200+5boar+5rat=210 spaces?

Dagoth_Rac

Do the 5 inventory slots from the "Mournhold Packrat" stack with the 5 inventory slots from the "Bristleneck War Boar"? Or is it 5 extra slots max and you are just adding different pets that provide it?

ZOS_SarahHecker

Correct, the effects stack.

I bet Arena Gladiator horse was supposed to be earnable in-game with Gladiator's Proofs but then moved to the Crown Store for ... reasons (just like the Siegemaster horse).

Unrelated question: Is there any fix for the broken guild traders on PC-EU available for sale in the Crown Store?

DragonRacer

Am I completely blind here? I see multiple people asking/talking about a packrat, but I do not see such a thing listed in this article. I even did a Ctrl + F looking for "rat" on the webpage...

ApostateHobo

Oooohh finally a showcase where I want to buy something. Those costumes look nice, and FINALLY THE PACK RAT THANK YOU!

Mournhold Packrat




Are you the kind of adventurer who simply Must Loot Everything? Being followed around by the Mournhold Packrat, an actual cargo rodent, tells the world that you're an Acquisitionist who's not going to leave behind a single spoon!

The Mournhold Packrat pet will be available in the Crown Store on all platforms starting on June 11 at 10am EDT. Note: This pet grants an additional 5 slots of inventory upon purchase.

Glad we can finally own one.

No Nightfall Crates? Kinda disappointed. Alas, guess the Vampire Noble Suit will do...

You know the rule - no changing crates before gem exclusives. Especially no old crates return. Need to milk the current ones fist!
Edit: on the less salty note, crates usually get their own announcement, IIRC

Yep, it works for me now! That Harborsworn costume looks nice.

VaranisArano

Does anyone else think these new inventory pets are just an expensive way to answer all the pleas for more inventory space?

Like, we can't buy more bag/bank space, get more mount capacity in game, or get another storage chest, but we can buy a 5-slot pet (multiplied by # of characters).

Basically, it's spending 1,200 crowns for the capacity to store one extra set of armor per character.

Guess I need to clear my cache out again, it's literally not showing on the article for me.

Remove any rodent-blocker addons that you might have.

Can we please get official clarification about whether it's necessary to have completed a dungeon to get the associated shoulder style from the 1-key random boxes?

The showcase says this:

"The Scourge Harvester Shoulder Style Page can be obtained after the player has completed Wayrest Sewers II by either purchasing it for 50 Undaunted Keys from Maj al-Ragath or as a chance from Maj's Mystery Coffer for 1 Undaunted Key."

I'm pretty sure it said the same thing with Balorgh last month. I'm also quite sure there hasn't been a completion requirement for earlier shoulder styles. I spent 25 keys and didn't get a Balorgh shoulder page, and if it's because I haven't done the dungeon, I'd really like to have this clarified so I don't waste any more keys.

They’re coming this month as has been foretold. Pack rat + stable only good things this month. My vampire looks are all finalized.

So I know the answer is $$$, but any reason why we can't buy the more inventory slots ingame? It clearly isn't "the game can't handle increasing inventory much more" if you're going to add a new 5-slot pet for 1,200 Crowns per year =/

So, I can spend that amount to get more inventory or spend it on some cosmetic that gets me nothing useful? I'll take more inventory slots.

I am at the point where I have 49k crowns from paying for craft bag and nothing useful to spend them on. There is almost no chance I don't buy more inventory through an overpriced pet as it is rare they add anything useful to crown store.

So how about that update about the trader situation on PC/EU. It was promised later today and it's 2pm where you are, we're nearing end of office hours.

Major_Lag

Are there any plans for the Doom Wolf mount to return to the crownstore this year?

I have one on PC-EU but no longer wish to play on that server due to its... numerous problems, and unfortunately I did not move to PC-NA until a few weeks after the Doom Wolf became unavailable

I don't have any problem with having to pay for it again - buying it on PC-EU instead of immediately moving to NA was my mistake, no question about that - but now I can't buy it again, because it was a time limited offer.

Where is the new Bastion Sanguinaris house?

Question for you @ZOS_SarahHecker or @ZOS_GinaBruno.

The Steadfast Stablemaster Bundle description says "Everything you need to pamper your heroic horse companion waits for you in this bundle—including the horse! Shelter, food, tasty treats, and more allow you to master your grooming skills, improve your riding proficiency, and cosset your beloved steed."

(highlighting is mine)

Does this allow us to upgrade our mounts (speed, stamina, capacity) in our own homes ?

No, the bundle includes some furnishings, a mount, and riding lessons. When it's available on the Crown Store you can preview it to see all of its contents.

You don't need to complete the dungeon, although your chances increase if you have the Vet HM achievement.

Thanks for the clarification

Appreciate that.
