This is the official discussion thread for, "Crown Store Showcase- November 2024"

"Fill your hold in preparation for your journey to the Systres Isles with a fine assortment of items and collectibles coming to the Crown Store this November."

that Meridian horse is fun.

though why Ayleid and Akaviri crates instead of Sunken Trove or Stonelore? (they haven't returned yet at all)

"The Lady of Infinite Energies lent me a steed to hasten my way to Garlas Malatar. A creature of golden light, gleaming barding, a symphony of blades, and an aura reminiscent of the Colored Room, the charger tested my endurance."—King Narilmor's Journal

The Symphony of Dawn Charger mount will be available for Crown Gems and Seals of Endeavor on all platforms for a limited time, from November 21, 2024 at 10AM EST, to November 27, 2024 at 10AM EST."

How cool would this be as an in-game reward for a trifecta in this dungeon or as a rare drop on veteran from the final boss or something?

"Alter your shield's Outfit style with a replica of the Fearstruck Elder Scrolls Artifact, a shield crafted by the Daedric Prince Boethiah.

The Elder Scrolls Artifact: Fearstruck will be available in the Crown Store on all platforms for a limited time, from November 4, 2024 at 10AM EST, to November 11, 2024 at 10AM EST. ESO Plus Members will receive a discount on this item."

All of these elder scrolls artifacts could've been super interesting quest lines culminating in these items as a reward.

"Spelunk in luxury! This mining gear is practically a home away from home when you're excavating precious underground resources—if you like living in your clothes!

The Subterrane Excavator costume will be available in the Crown Store on all platforms for a limited time, from November 4, 2024 at 10AM EST, to November 11, 2024 at 10AM EST. ESO Plus Members will receive a discount on this item."

Could've been a cool, modern antiquities reward akin to assembling the ebon dwarven wolf mount.

Overall, the showcases are cool, but I always look at them and think about what a missed opportunity it is to not have these as in-game earnable rewards for interesting quest lines, explorations, achievements and the like. Will we ever see an actual reward structure? I sure hope so.

I'm all for microtransactions in a live service game, but all meaningful rewards are locked behind crowns and not gameplay. 10 years in, it's about time we tone down the store and change that in my opinion.

i wouldnt mind buying more of the assistant variants, but there really needs to be some kind of discount if you already own one of that type

5000 crowns for basically a "cosmetic change" of the assistant is too much

Squire Caw

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I'm sorry for being really annoying about him not being there in October 😭 🥹

EDIT: P.S. thanks @LunaFlora too, you were right about him coming back

And agree with you:

I hope they will finally come when the High Isle event is supposed to be on? Isn't it early December or so?

I'm glad Caw returns ^_^

well the High isle event is in November, there's a few items from 2022 like Highhallow Hold and the Turquoise War Pangrit.
And that's why i think it's odd neither Sunken Trove or Stonelore crates return

NotaDaedraWorshipper · October 31

I miss when mounts fit Elder Scrolls.

MafiaCat115 · October 31

Disappointed that there is still no return of the Sunken Trove crates. This would've been a great time to bring it back given the fast approaching High Isle themed event..

For requests, I'd still love to see the Sunken Trove. I’m almost done with crates that have moths. And as usual, I am requesting that hair dyeing is added in game! (And maybe an answer to my question about class set auras)

- Moths -
- Mustardseed Moth - Sunken Trove crates

Möth

I guess I've consumed all the love someone had for me at crown store management and I'm now on someone's blacklist XD
I'm just kidding! Just kidding... but I feel a bit like this (No Stonelore yet)

BulletMagnetX · November 1

So the Eltheric Revenant weapons won't be made available this year?

Oh nooo

Back to begging: please 1000x please, Sunken Trove! I want to spend my currencies 🥹

That makes no sense.

It says Pyroclast and Hoarfrost, the Atronach assistants, are going to be available "for a limited time, from November 11, 2024, at 10AM EST, to November 18, 2024 at 10AM EST".

But they are already available.

Does that mean they are going to leave the store after the 18th? And will merely be available on a discount until then? What's going on here?

OH! Waaaait! Postponing the Stonelore return could be caused by me, since I reported a bug on the beautiful and expensive memento that comes in them, asking to fix it before putting them on sale again!

If they are going to fix it and then put them on sale I can wait a little bit longer... Hopefully not too much.

It means that you can get the ESO+ discount on them for a limited time.

TiberX · November 3

LOL spiderhorse. funny

DenverRalphy · November 14

Is there a reason the price of Grand Psijic Villa went up? I was looking forward to catching it this month, but the surprise price increase kinda put me off.

nevermind... it's getting fixed.

That is how I interpreted it as well, but there is no ESO+ discount on them, just the 20% discount for all assistants. I hope either the ESO+ discount is being overwritten by the category-wide discount, or that they decided to not make the planned discount ESO+ exclusive.

@ZOS_Kevin , do you have any insight about whether what is happening is

A : ESO+ additional exclusive discount isn’t being applied
B : The advertised ESO+ discount was planned to be 20%, and that was subsequently decided to be applied to all assistants and for all players
C : Faulgor’s concern is correct; Pyroclast and Hoarfrost are leaving on the 18th
D : Something I haven’t considered?

I hope it’s not C
