    Nothing... My crowns just pile up over time, like seals of end and gold too.

    That's because my main home is full, I have the horse I prefer, no costume comes that I like better than the one I wear...

    I would be interested in dyes, for my char or for my horse equipment, but it's no crown items. There is no horse equipment. A
    new house could be a thing, but the one I want is Paria's Pinacle and I'm not even sure if it will ever come back in shop...

    Sooooo, all in all, the game - at least for now - has nothing that motivates me and my currencies just stack.
    I'm out of my mind, feel free to leave a message... PC/NA

    I've been spending mine on the Dungeon DLCs since I've cancelled my sub. Missing 4 of them now and still have 1.1k crowns left, gaah.

    Outside of that, I would usually only buy cosmetic things I liked. I'd always buy personality's, and the occasional Khajiit/Argonian outfit I liked, but that's pretty much it

    I'm sitting on my crowns until I decide which characters I want to give more armory slots.

    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.

    I buy the collector's edition DLCs when they're released-- something I started doing long before I finally decided to subscribe to ESO Plus, and I've continued doing it even while subscribed-- as well as player housing that can't be purchased with gold. I've also bought event tickets on occasion, but that's rare.

    Locked-in polymorph packages, mostly Arms Packs and music boxes. Got all the homes I wanted so nothing for this anymore.

    But I stopped buying crowns. The game achievement reward system is getting worse and push you to crown store. Unless ZOS start investing their time in game bugs/fixes/achievement reward systems/improvements, I won't buy crowns anymore (I waited one year whether they will focus on game rather crown store). We are feeding a system which kills the game. So I stopped!

    I buy the upgrade to Collection Edition for the Chapters/DLC when they're released after a while, as well as the new assistants when they fit the theme I want for a house or character.

    A house here and there, a few statues, and some music boxes. Although I don't own a huge number, those are the only things I buy with any sort of predictability. The 1500 crown set of crates, whenever they switch to a new season. Otherwise, some small odds and ends over the years, like a couple hairstyles I really like.

    I got crowns for one reason....getting scrying maxxed when it comes out in the crown store.
    While I have not done it as many times as some folks here, I've had enough.
    14 toons on multiple accts on both servers is enough " grinding" for me. And that's coming from someone working on my 4th 3600 lol.

    Houses, costumes if I really like them, hair styles if I really like them, house guests of my favorite NPCs, and very rarely furniture and stations if they're on sale and zone story DLC if on sale.

    I don't spend that much. Rarely I buy a nice costume, a piece of furniture or a house guest. Mounts and pets even less often (not even sure if I ever bought other mounts than the Vvardvark and the Dwemer car). Crownstore-only houses I find too expensive most of the time. I own a banker and a merchant each and don't need more. Will also buy a deconstruction assistant if there's ever one that appeals to me. But also in that case, one is enough.

    Never buy crowns and just get the ones with sub. Last year I gave them all away. Had 20k crowns for 5 months haven't seen anything worth spending them on.

    I haven't bought crowns in a while, but I do get them with my ESO+ subscription. When they've piled up, I've bought the DLCs I'm interested in, so that if I ever decide to cancel my sub, I won't lose the zones I play in. I've also bought crown crates on occasion, and the odd costume and house.

    I'd never buy crown packs to spend on crown crates. I think I did it once way back when I first started playing and quickly realized what a fool's game it is. But excess ESO+ crowns, no problem, because I see them as free crowns.

    mostly arms packs, or the occasional house that looks interesting

    other 1-time-buy functional things such as assistants and the +bag space inventory pets

    i would never ever buy consumable items (xp scrolls, pots, riding lessons, poisons, etc) and i also never buy anything that only affects 1 character or is earnable in game (skill lines, skyshards, outfit slots, armory slots, etc)

    ive only purchased crown crates a small handful of times, once or twice when they came out, once for the celestial crates because i liked a lot of the stuff in them instead of 1 specific thing, and technically got some of the ragebound crates that came with the shade polymorph (in this case i wanted the polymorph and the crates kind of came along for the ride, i would have bought the polymorph with or without the crates)

    Usually cosmetics and accessories to customise my characters. I used to buy costumes, but since they introduced the outfit station I never wear them any more.

    Pets I really liked.

    I've bought a number of arms packs.

    DLC used to be my main purchase but I don't buy dungeon DLC (I don't play dungeons enough to want to pay for more of them) and in recent years they've given away the story DLC so I haven't needed to do that.

    Other than that it's a mix of things but mostly cosmetics like mounts, pets, costumes, occasionally hair styles, markings and accessories. I recently bought an outfit slot when they were discounted (I'd buy more if they were account-wide) and I got a banker a while ago.

    Cosmetics and houses that I don't do anything with.

    I feel I spend way too much on race change tokens because of build changes.
