ZOS, official answer please...

Will the Mercenary motif and laurel be coming to the Crown Store? For those of us who hate running vet dungeons over and over and over again it would be nice to get this in the store before the new DLC comes out.

Motif: buy it from a guild store. It's so common, it's like a purple motif at blue motif prices.

Laurel: this is tougher. Either run dungeons with a character that knows all Mercenary motifs (see above) or have someone craft the gear for you. While the style stone can't be traded, the gear can.

When running the vet dungeons, do you only get one laurel per dungeon final boss?

Yes, one laurel per Boss, chance depends on how many chapters of Mercenary your character has learned, and dungeon level. Highest is 25% for non-veteran with all chapters learned, and 100% in veteran dungeons. Unless your character does nothing but craft, running the dungeons for the Undaunted passives and skills is worth the effort. And laurels can be banked, so non-crafting characters can get them for your crafter.

As for you original question, you are not going to get an official answer in the forum. But considering the crown store history, it seems likely all the motifs will be sold there eventually.

The issue with putting the laurels in the crown store while not having a non-bound in-game option is that it essentially makes crafters who don't run dungeons trade crowns for in-game gold (and you can argue actual money for in-game gold). Because if someone wants me to craft a Mercenary set for them, they can't get me the laurels. I have to get them myself. And if I don't run dungeons, then I have to get them from the Crown Store. So the player who wants that will have to compensate me appropriately.

Do you see how that's not entirely kosher? That's my concern about them putting the style stone in the CS.

To echo the person above about buying from the guild stores, most chapters are going for around 1k each...pretty affordable! The laurel on the other hand...I'm about to start hunting/dungeoning for that stuff tonight.

ETA: at least that's what I'm seeing on XB/NA

Universal style item coming to the crown store with next DLC.

Not sure why you're quoting me here. I don't give one iota what they sell in the crown store, including motifs. I'll never buy them. As for the way some recent motifs have been introduced into the game, I will say it mostly sucks, but I've used it to broaden my game experience. I had only run a few dungeons before Mercenary came out. I was a little intimidated by them. But my main is also my crafter, so I sucked it up. Now I have a stack of laurels and Undaunted skills and passives. I had done very little PVP, now it's what I am doing the most, in part to earn AP for Akaviri chapters.

Is it kosher how Mecenary stones were handled? Everyone will have to decide for themselves. But I used it as an opportunity to get more enjoyment out of ESO. Dungeons are fun, and so is PVP. Both things I would never have said prior to introduction of latest motifs.

I think they're adding a new one-size-fits-all motif material that you can use to craft any style, not sure if it's in the upcoming DLC or not though.

You're joking, right?

No joke, universal style mat and it's coming with TG I believe.

If this happens I guarantee it will be amazingly rare and very expensive! Most players wont be able to get their hands on them

@Asherons_Call as mentioned in previous posts Laurels cannot be brought they are bound, not only are they bound their drop rate is related to the number of Mercenary pages your character has read........

My main character is not a crafter, she has NEVER dropped a Laurel and runs pledges everyday

@ducket1 as far as I understand it the "universal" style mat will be crown store only.

REMOVE BOP.
