What crown pack should I buy?

EnglishDragon17 · August 2015

Money isn't really a problem, I still have my original 500 crowns. I would like to buy imperial city and save some for the next limited edition mount. What is the best option to do this? I live in UK btw so if your doing prices can you convert it to pounds if you can?

Hello EnglishDragon17!

If money is no problem, why you dont buy the TESO Membership? 30 days membership cost 12,99€ thats about 9-10 pounds. In the crown shop 1500 crown cost 12,99€ (9-10 pounds) but you have some good things more when you buy the mebership.

If you buy 90 days membership thats a little cheaper than the 30 days * 3, but you get for every 30 days of membership - 1500 crowns

I think that is the best way to get crowns

(sorry for my bad english)

nice greets,
Venom

In my opinion the best thing to get is a mount of your choosing, and maybe some increase in inventory space for it.
Unless you want to play any race for any faction. That bundle is useless the treasure maps are all but worthless you get with them.
Motifs are easy to come by so I wouldn't bother with the those ether. Unless you want to more rare ones and those are very pricey in the crown store. All the alliance are not to hard to find and not very exspensive to purchase from other players.

I'm more of a get something that will help you in the game type of person so I don't buy costumes and pets. They just don't serve much of a purpose other then showing people that you have more money then sense. So basically if it's something that is actually going to help you in the game that is what I would focus on using my money for. But that's just me if money really isn't a issue for you then hey go crazy and get whatever you want. I'm sure Microsoft and Bethesada won't mind.

Basically it's cheaper to buy in bulk.

The 750 crown pack (£4.79) works out as 63p per 100 crowns, whereas the 5,500 crown pack (23.99) is 43p per 100 crowns. The others are somewhere in the middle.

(These prices are based on buying directly through the ZOS website, and I'm in the UK too so there's no conversion being done. I'm not sure if it's different if you buy through Steam.)

The only other consideration is that you can get 30 days subscription for £9, the same price as a 1,500 crown pack and that gives you 1,500 crowns plus 10% extra XP, crafting XP and gold dropped from enemies and free access to all DLC for the duration of the subscription. If those bonuses appeal to you then it may be better to subscribe for a month (or more) rather than buying a crown pack.

Personally I'm not interested in the 10% bonuses and there's no DLC available yet so I bought the 5,500 crown pack and will get another one when I've used up those crowns.

i personally am going to do a sub for ~2 months and get my crowns for the IC from that while getting extra 10% bonus (Y)

Best bang for your buck(dollar) or pounds, is buy in bulk, like mentioned before.
I don't think the ESO+ is worth the money.
You're pretty much just buying a 1500 crown pack with a month long 10% progression perk.
I'm the type to purchase as needed, and unless ZOS can fork over a little more than a 10% boost, I don't see the membership as a good enough deal. (I will purchase XP boosts when, or if ever, I feel I need them.)
Buy crowns in bulk, as you need them, but that's just my opinion.

Edit: I'm pretty sure the 5500 crown pack would've been a better deal than buying a 1500 and a 3000 crown pack (unless you bought the ESO+ and the 3000 pack... Or if the 5500 isn't offered where you live).

I bought the 1500 and 3000 together to add to original 500 to make 5000. I can get imperial city and a mount. Im not going to get elder scrolls plus until after Christmas once the game has developed more, thank you everyone for your help deciding.
