Hey crown food was nice when I decided to level four characters at the same time. I used like 12 out of my full stack until all of them are 50...

Phantom chilli mud crabs 🦀 . This one approves.

I don't agree that crown repair kits are worthy of a week end, corner starred, special reward. The other rewards are fairly standard and fine overall. I'll use the consumables and cooldown reducers at some point. The unique pet reward is fine as well as we typically see only one unique collectible or large reward monthly.

I've been liking the mimic stones and wouldn't mind seeing a few more of those. They can be worth upwards of 8k a piece under the right circumstances. Repair kits are maybe 200g each for in game versions. The 2k and 5k gold rewards are more worthy of a week end reward to be honest. They may be a bit more special for those that want that one button repair without repairing individually, but as a PC player, I have addons to do that for me.

Looks okay. This one is actually (finally!) running low on the tri-pots so those will be welcome.

More AP would have been nice, as my lastest lil won't be levelling her skill line in BGs as usual since they've been ZoS'd.

Appropriate mudcrab ghost yay!

TheImperfect

The ghost crab is cute, I like the noise that they make.

Last month we were saying well at least it cant less useful than this. And it did. I guess in November we will just get crown soul stones.

Good thing is I dont have FOMO moment this month with login rewards

complaining about free stuff...

what has the world come to?

Crown food, tri-pots and mimic stones are useful and a ghostly pet is appropriate for October and I much prefer mudcrabs to bears!

We should figure out a way to rate which daily login rewards are the most appreciated. Maybe one of those poll changes where you vote one off every round?
My personal ranking would look something like this:

1. Cosmetics/DLCs/actual Crown Crates (duh)
2. preview Crates
3. crown poisons (they are equivalent to BiS poisons)
4. crown tristat/spellpower/weaponpower potions (always useful, saves some alchemy mats)
5. Repair kits
6. Telvar
7. Crown Mimic stones (for those exclusive styles like Stalhrim Frostcaster)
8. Gold (bad for the economy, but still neat)
9. XP scrolls (I am swimming in those by now and they make Ambrosia irrelevant)
10. AP (too little and too niche to matter)
11. Soul Gems (identical to Grand Soul Gems in every way, but they don't stack and you don't even need so many Soul Gems)
12. Crown Food (much much lower burn-through rate than potions/poisons and also not nearly as useful)
13. Research Scrolls (entirely useless unless they add more than 9 traits to old crafts one day, which I don't think I'd like)

I really should start using them.

Does anyone actually use repair kits? I always just repair at a merchant. I think the only time I've ever used one is when I've died multiple times and I can't visit a merchant for whatever reason (in a dungeon trying to solo a boss or something). So for me anyway, they're definitely not worthy.

Really? The poisons are that good? I will have to use them more. I rarely use poisons outside of stam PvP and then I use a poison that also slows movement, or at least that’s the stated effect. The Crown Food seems to me both good all-purpose and good for tanking. The mimic stones are also useful for crafters, for completing master writs that might otherwise need a rare or expensive style mat. Souls gems are basically worthless unless you’re new to the game. I always set in settings to use the Crown store soul gems first so as to recover the inventory slot. Agree about research scrolls, alas, although I did appreciate them on my way to grandmaster crafter.

I used to always just repair at merchants, too. But once I learned how to use the repair kits and actually started using them, I have found them to be well worth their weight in gold-- and then some!

I would rank the food much higher, I use that pretty much exclusively. Not as beneficial as sugar skulls, but free food is the best tasting food. So I wasn't completely joking with the crown food cheer above. I don't use poisons or potions all that much. I hardly use any of the scrolls; maybe an XP scroll now and again. I don't use repair kits at all. I'm swimming in soul gems, I'd rank those dead last.

I did that too and then I realized I was spending so much money on repairs when I could do it myself. I wait till my armour gets pretty low (60% or less) though.

I am happy with anything that could have been in the crown store or crates: pet, cosmetics, costume, etc.

I don't care about consumables at all. I have like eight stacks of those restoration potions, and poisons which I never use unless the daily endeavour is to poison enemies with them.

Yeah, the poisons are BiS in PvE for stam dps.
The crown food is, as you said, good for all-purpose and tanking, but once you have 200, that will last you 400 hours and in my experience you are getting crown food faster than you can use it up. Perhaps I put it a bit too low on the list, but it's not like regular tri-stat food is even all that expensive so you really don't need it.

A crown crate would be nice. Just one a month. Don't care if its just another spectral mudcrab inside. Its the crate that counts

I try to spread the food around my various alts. None has a full stack of the food yet, much less more than one stack. I have a couple alts with more than one stack of poisons and potions though. I just don't like how poisons suppress my enchantment (unless that's changed). I went to the bother of putting an enchantment on my stupid weapon, I'd like for it to be useful. As for potions, I just get caught up in a fight and forget to use 'em.
