Hint on the mystery reward?

An incredible Mystery Prize

incredible
/ɪnˈkrɛdɪb(ə)l/

adjective: incredible
1.
impossible to believe.
"an almost incredible tale of triumph and tragedy"

2.
difficult to believe; extraordinary.
"the noise from the crowd was incredible"

House, mount, new companion are all quite easy to envision and don't fall into Impossible to Believe. An incredible mystery prize must be something that's never been done before, and possibly something people have been asking for a lot in the forums.

Impossible to Believe:
- unlock story mode dungeons
- unlock vet overland content in Blackwood
- Dremora race for characters. I have too many characters already for this one.

Plus it has to compete with the launch of New World.
- my guess is a new content module.

Watch it be the 2-Player mount…

I thought they had tried that and scrapped the idea?

Last time we heard about it this month and it was still worked on as previously server just booted people because conflict with their anti-cheat. Last PTS they've also added options for multi-player mounts so they're fairly sure it would be in-game soonish.

I'll hope for the impossible 😅
Seriously though, I'm not holding my breath for "incredible". I'm thinking pet or maybe mount. More like the "usual" reward.

No one from ZOS has said it is scrapped. (At least, not while I was around to hear it)

You forgot about third one.

3. In marketing - just anything that company want to throw at you.
"We have incredible surprise for you" (it's rubber duck)

I don't think it will new content or game mode, because it's suppose to be event exclusive so they won't seperate players from something like this. It must be some kind of thing that you can normally put in crown store.

Probably not. It will be some manner of cosmetic or potential Crown Store item. As such, half the game population will cheer, and half will be shaking their heads at those cheering.

EDIT: LOL looks like you cleaned up your plastic surgery a little bit. XD

No, no, it's not sewn on.

And good catch, I did blend his "makeup" a little.

My #1 choice would be another companion.

A lusty Argonian maid (not Rich Lambert) would be awesome.

Well, it has to be something that doesn't fundamentally change the mechanics of the game in any way, as that would be problematic for the people that weren't playing at the time the prize dropped. Unless they just add it to the game for everyone who plays the game now and in the future regardless of them participating in the event. But that would sort of undermine the "prize" aspect.

Not that I would personally mind the later. If they wanted to add a new race/class, or 3 new character slots for EVERYONE so long as the people online during the event did the deed to unlock it, I'd be cool with that.

But seriously ZOS, it is time for more character slots and some new class/race build options!

At the very least a new skill tree that actually has useful stuff like viable alternate spammables, AOE, and unique buff abilities. Using the same weapons as baseline skills for 8 years has gotten incredibly stale, especially with staff as the only magicka option for that entire time.

Mystery prize - They will release an update that fixes all bugs and lag in the game.

Well, they did put the psijic villa in the crown store earlier this year

Also we could get something for free while non blackwood player would need to pay for it later

This one she has an idea but does not like to say in case she is right and people start, once again, thinking she lives in the cleaning cupboard at ZOS Towers.

But she will say she thinks a houseguest with some link to a Blackwood quest is not an unreasonable possibility.

I think it would be funny if we all had pocket Mehrunes Dagon non-combat pets following us around having little tantrums whenever we stop moving.

TX12001rwb17_ESO

This is not regarding the mystery reward but the Ogrim, I wonder why they did not go with a Ruinarch dummy instead? It seems more u ique and befitting the theme.

PrinceShroob

It can't be Sweetwater Cascades. The Crown Store Showcase said "available in the Crown Store on all platforms for a limited time, during Bounties of Blackwood. Stay tuned for event details! Furnished and unfurnished versions will be available." "Furnished and unfurnished versions will be available" wouldn't make any sense for a free house.

Not Eveli. Please gods not that annoying chirpy pain in the backside brat.

And please can the attunable crafting tables not be bound - I have no use for them but would like to donate to guild house.

This one confirms she was not thinking of Eveli and not even of the main questline.
