Monthly rewards

Neelanna48 · August 1

So the start of a new month and interested to see what daily rewards we will get. Can I say this is the most underwhelming list of daily rewards yet. Usually there is at least one item a month worth logging in for, but this time nope. Can we at least get a new outfit, furnishing, pet etc etc , something better than what you are offering. Would be interested to know how many players just delete these items as soon as they get them?

I suspect it's because it's August and a lot of people go away for at least part of the month, either because of school holidays or in the Northern Hemisphere taking advantage of (hopefully) nicer weather, so ZOS didn't want to include anything which would disappoint people who miss it because other things take priority over a game.

It's because the GP this month will be handing out some nice goodies. Like attunable crafting stations.

I feel like they have been moving the good rewards from login to Golden Pursuits.

Still, I remember the days we got crowncrates and DLC's in the daily login rewards...

Ha, that is funny you said that. Normally I would be extremely happy about that, but I miscalculated what I needed to fully attune and ended up with 3 sets of tables before the season started. Now I’m carrying around 2 sets with me, lol. Oh well they’ll be used eventually, or maybe I could sell the ones I already have.

oooh, nice, I forgot to look at what the monthly rewards are, but I have been sort of disappointed with them lately.

What is the GP going to be focused towards?

According to the August Survival Guide, it appears to be a Crafting themed GP.

I've noticed this too, we still get the occasional cosmetic in the login rewards but it seems like golden pursuits is more and more replacing the nicer login rewards. Fine by me, as long as the pursuits remain long enough for most players to have a chance at completing them (and varied enough to be at least somewhat interesting). Offers more flexibility imo than requiring players to log in for X days (which might be difficult for some depending on schedules or other RL issues).

I'm always happy to receive items that take no inventory space (mimic stones, luminous ink, gold, AP, Tel Vars, transmutes, etc). I've also come to rely on only using crown soul gems and tri-stat potions from daily rewards. I keep xp scrolls. Other consumables, I generally destroy (most potions/poisons, research scrolls, respec scrolls, etc).

Thanks for the info on the pursuit.

Yeah, I have noticed this, and have missed the crown crates especially in the daily logins.

I do like the pursuits, as they feel like a more forgiving (and rewarding) endeavor to me. If I absolutely don't feel like doing 5 quests today, I can always knock that out tomorrow! but with Endeavors, if I don't feel like it, I will lose those points.

Like you said, as long as they remain long enough and have enough varied pursuits, having some of the more interesting rewards moved to pursuits is find by me.

Does it mean GP has become a monthly event now ?

No, not necessarily. But ever since GP's came about, every time there's a month with a GP in it that has generous rewards, the monthly login rewards have been toned down.

after playing this last decade i feel you'll have plenty of opportunities to re-post this sentiment.

rothan117 · August 2

Yeah, underwhelming is being nice about this month's rewards. And I couldn't care less about the crafting stations. I have zero use for them.

KiltMaster · August 2

yeah this is one of the worst ones we've seen for a minute. Oh well !

Renato90085 · August 2

i know i am minority
but i like they are useful consumables
not useless pet or costume
maybe dlc is pretty good

ScardyFox · August 2

I remember when you used to get 3 crates out of the month.

Then down to one...

Then... lolwhatwehavenow...

Just add The reward to the first 7/10days.

Sturmfaenger · August 3

To get nothing for login was normal before. Login rewards are not really necessary. Who needs a bribe to come play?
I don't miss a thing if there's a no-good month. *shrugs*

DoofusMax · August 3

LOL! I don't think of myself as being anything close to OG, but I've gotta laugh at newer players who can't remember months with little more than 30 days of tri-pots, poisons, crown meals, etc., usually with something nice on day 21 only, and then complain that this is the most underwhelming month ever. Y'all haven't seen underwhelming.

+1

When a month having a day with a few crown crates was headline news.

darkriketz · August 4

Should I remind everyone that once they even gave away, for free, a complete DLC ? O_O
The waw effect still is absent in August 2025 =_=

So they would rather disappoint the people that actually show up to play the game in order to not "disappoint" the people that don't show up?

And they wonder why people don't spend more money or spend more time here.

katanagirl1 · August 5

It may not be exciting, but it’s all useful stuff for me. Except for Crown poisons if any are in there this time.
