Not too much for me this month, but I see some things other people will probably like.

As for requests, I'd love to see the Frost Atronach and Sunken Trove crates return. And as usual, I am requesting that hair dyeing is added in game! We keep seeing hair styles with dyed hair so we know it's lore friendly! You gave us the Azure Ombre in the All-Maker crate, so there's even more proof! And I’m almost done with crates that have moths, just need Sunken Trove! (I already got the newest moth!)

- Mustardseed Moth - Sunken Trove crates

the event isn't active yet so if they go on sale they probably will only be discounted during the event.
which is likely starting January 25th

DAWNBREAKER!! FINALLY!!!

That means there's only one more Prince whose artifact style has as yet never been released, and his summoning day is next month. We've been going way too long without being able to complete the artifact sets.

I am getting a vibe from certain upcoming collectibles and it's going to be really hard not to get unreasonably preemptively excited.

Now to decide how many accounts I need Dawnbreaker on...

Hear hear! My main has been doing this for almost 10 years now. I'd love to get some salt in her hair without having to change her whole hairstyle.

This is a really solid month. I also don't think there's anything really for me, but offerings all around.

I will be grabbing the Meridia music box. I really hope the song is nice, I need it so bad for one of my houses as a display piece at least

I think I should give a cautionary warning. It's par for the course that ZOS releases things related to the Daedric Princes during their summoning day months, and Meridia's summoning day is the 13th of Morningstar (so January 13th in our time).

So....Just in case: it could just be a coincidence.

I would like to see Darien too, but I think it might not be good to hope too hard at the moment.

Ah that's a good point that I hadn't considered. I've seen enough things that I can imagine are tangentially related to keep the hopium fueled though. We'll see if any of my vibes get substantiated by this year's chapter announcement.

Yes!!!😺👍

Highland Spotted Lynx bundle. The orange cats look awesome. Also the new skin Opalescent Epidermis is colorful. I can't wait to get those.

This is very exciting 😀

Thank you zos

Count me as someone who does not want to see Dorian again.

I don't have anything against him, personally, but I am sort of getting tired of the contradictions that re-using characters introduces in the already fragmented stories.

AuroranGoldenEagle · January 2

Not a whole lot for me this month, but will definitely be getting the Heroic Poet hair this time around, as well as the Vvardvark pet using seals!

Hoping to see Adorable Assassin hair return next month

Surprised no one has broughtt up the collectable bundle, usually when they release bundles like this it is connected to the theme of the chapter, a colovian lynx suggests Colovia with Skingrad.

He's had an unresolved plot thread hanging for going on six years, so mostly what I want at this point is some actual closure so I can stop angsting.

I may also be somewhat more invested than the average player. Either way a girl can dream.

But yes that Dawnbreaker would pair nicely with the Spellbreaker shield to recreate my Lydia build from Skyrim.

Last year the Collectors bundle for the 2 dungeons "Scringer's Hall and Bal Sunmar" was an Apocrypha themed guar, for stone thorn it was an Ice Reach Durzog (You know the Witch Coven Allied with the Gray Host) for "Graven Deep and Earthen Root Enclave" it was one of them Shark Guar that Graven Deep introduced, Shall I continue?

Waking Flame which contained "Red Petal Bastion AKA home of the Silver Rose" was a Silver Rose themed mount, the Deadlands collectors bundle had a Fiery Bear mount related to Mehrunes Dagon, Wolfhunter had a Silver Dawn AKA Werewolf Hunter themed Horse and Pet.

Dragonbone's which contained Fang Lair had the Fang Lair Courser, The Clockwork City Bundle had a Fabricant Mount and so on so fourth.

That is exactly why he should not be part of any new stories. Continuity issues. Contradictions. Poor Scruut will bust a tentacle trying to straighten all that out.

yea so my answer still stands as those are collector packs for DLC and the Lynx bundle is just a bundle for a mount and pet.
could be connected to dlc yes, but isn't in a bundle with dlc.

I forgot to say I'm sad to see there's only one returning crate season next month. I really hope there's a plan to return more than one crate season per month coming at least soon.

If you want players to stop accumulating such high numbers of seals, return crates more often so there's more stuff we can actually buy that we actually want. Like, there's a single item I wanted from the current crate season. Not bringing back other crates isn't going to make me buy stuff I don't want; it's just going to make me not buy and accumulate instead.

I don't see what's the difference between that and not letting players earn as many seals in the first place other than in the first option, players are happy.

Araneae6537 · January 4

I’m glad to see hairstyles return and I think I’ll get Arvel’s Ashland attire from the Psijic crates.

I’d buy both statues (of Meridia and Auri-El) if I hadn’t already!

Ilsabet · January 11

Feeling pretty good today for some reason.

Now I just need to give her a dual-wield bar so she can actually use it...
