Golden vendor

Is the golden vendor really ONLY accessible during the weekend ?
When and where exactly can you see what items are being sold next weekend ?

Can i still get mighty chudan this week for instance ? ;-)

The info from @ShawnLaRock is exactly right. The Golden is handy for getting monster helms from dungeons that you don't think you can run on vet. Shoulders can be gotten from the Undaunted pledge givers but there is a some randomness to the dungeon and weight you get - so it usually takes multiple tries. More info here if you need it: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Monster_Helm_Sets

I don't know of any way to reliably determine in advance which helms the Golden will have available.

I looked through a few years of history on benevolentBowd's site. Base game and early dlcs (2017 and earlier) are highly favored. 2018, both sets from wolf hunter have been in the golden but not either set from dragon bones. All 4 monster sets from 2019 have made an appearance. I could not find any 2020 sets other than lady thorn, and no sets from 2021 at all. (less surprising I guess).

Golden is available from 7pm EST Friday, to 7am EST Monday.

Generally you have to go to the vendor to see which items are available - but @BenevolentBowd always has a post in the Forums listing available items, or can be seen here:

Unfortunately, the Golden Vendor's only predictable weeks are during Whitestrake's Mayhem where they offer Cyrodiil Jewelry sets.

It very rare that the same set appears in the month but there have been a few exceptions.

It probably took 6 months for me to get Troll King from the vendor when that was a thing. The vendor also seems to be limited to base game monster sets and some older DLC ones. Nice when you see something you want, but I wouldn't rely on it.

certain monster sets seem extraordinarily rare from the gold vendor

one of the newest (dungeon wise) ones ive gotten was moongrave fane helm

zaan and thurvokun monster sets to my knowledge the monster helms have never appeared for these (i have seen the shoulders though) and these are some of the oldest dlc dungeons at this point

sadly no, if it wasn't purchased by the time she leaves on Monday, it won't be available again for a while, this week will be different items

I have seen thurvokun show up on the golden once, right after they nerfed it into the ground at the time making its proc only have 50% up time and lowered the damage.

Never seen Zaan though.

It is kinda predictable,but as they add sets to golden,it skews the timing.You just gotta look back on benevolentBowd's site and see the pattern.Same with furnisher,you can guess what will be there,thoguh they add new stuff sometimes.

I wish they'd offer all the available monster helms during an event once or twice a year the way they offer all the PvP sets during the Mayhem events.
I only have 400 cp on my Nb DD on my new PC account so I'd need a pretty big carry to get a Balorgh's head piece from March of Sacrifices and according to BB's list of past pieces it was in the Golden just before I started the account. So I'll have to wait for quite a while longer for the set that will really make my build shine in PvP,. It's so frustrating when I just miss getting a kill after using an ultimate knowing if I had that set I'd have won the fight.

Yes, the Jubilee event would have been the perfect time for that, and it has been asked for before. Doubt it will ever happen though, even though it would remove a ton of gold from the game, which would be a great thing.
