Sure wish the older crates rotated through faster/more frequently

I don't think there are ever returning crates on months that new crates drop

It's a big shame to not get returning crates on a month that people are so long forward to because of the Golden Pursuit

As a Bosmer player, I really

Greenspeaker’s Garb .

However, why is Lizard wearing it on promo picture

when it has nothing with them?

I know I'm just one irrelevant person but If that picture is going to be used in Crown Store, I'm not going to buy out of principle as this is lore offending.
Bosmer race is only one shafted racially for PvE with useless PvP passive*, and now this cultural appropriation. If that was an Altmer person, I could rationalize it as they are culturaly and genetically most similar to Bosmer, but Lizard? Really?!

*I remember very well, this was done to boost Cats for Elsweyr Chapter and is lore breaking.
Oh, yes, and Cats got two Companions, too, and some other races still on zero.

Yay, another Dwarven Spider finally returning to add to the collection!

The article is missing the Crown Store / Announcements tags though

Players can use these costumes on characters of any race. Promo pics typically include models of different races, often including an Argonian or Khajiit, to show how they look on different body types. It doesn't really have anything to do with arbitrary lore-based restrictions on who is or isn't allowed to wear purchased costumes.

It's pretty common to show how a costume looks on different genders and races. It's an ad, not a statement about lore.

Even so, players may enjoy wearing and interpreting the costume to fit their own lore-based character, such as by not only wearing it on characters who are literally meant to be greenspeakers lol, but interpreting it as a different garment, since we can't just design our own and you have to get creative.

I think an entire month of no returning crates is way too long, especially now that we have so many crates to cycle through.

I sure do wish the Dark Brotherhood Crates would come back. They have only existed once, September - December 2024, so it's been nearly a year and a half since their first debut with no repeat as of yet. I spent a fair bit on the crates hoping to get the ridiculously wonderful flowery Ardor's Devotion Senche-Raht, but to no avail.

Now I've been sitting on my seals like a dragon upon its hoard waiting for it to come back around again. Nothing in March interests me that I don't already have.

Maybe next month? April would be ideal for a flowery spring mount (even though the rest of the crates are... not very spring-ish LOL). Would certainly perk up my birthday month if I could finally acquire that mount.

Mora has heard my prayers. And instead of just the house we're getting first blade and a verdant green skill style too! Seeing this just made my day Zenimax. You got my money with this one

Sorry for late response, I was absent.

I obviously know any race can use it. It has nothing with it.

Promo pictures of wardrobe actually very rarelly use two persons especially from different races.
There are 26 permanent costumes in the Crown Store and only one has two persons promoting it, and again it's Bosmer related item - Eveli's Adventuring Leathers - there is a Redguard promoting it. I don't like that, but as you can see I bought it as Eveli is a mercenary so I can get past that.
And all those permanent costumes are promoted by a proper race to which are related unless is a generic one like Wedding Suit and similar so race is irrelevant.
But Greenspeaker's Garb wardrobe is a specific religious Bosmer costume which has nothing with Lizards, so no, I won't buy it out of principle (lore breaking), and I collect in ESO everything related to Bosmer > Dominion > Altmer. Again, I'm just one person, but so be it.

Greenspeakers could be any race, they could have been adopted into a bosmeri family.
with Argonians it could be someone specifically from The Gray Mire in Grahtwood.

Regardless, Crown Store images for Appearance collectibles are supposed to showcase how it looks on characters.
And since any character can wear Costumes,
it is useful to showcase how it looks on Argonians or Khajiit alongside an elf or human, because their heads are different and they have tails.
