    Cool. I hadn't rechecked in with that thread recently so missed the update from the devs.

    Likewise here. I thought they were giving out XP scrolls for the broken days.

    I've never watched twitch and I got 3 crates. Plus 6 psijic crates for just logging in. Got a camel mount and a kilt out of them.

    These crates have nothing else besides these trash drops, a rare chance to earn a mount and pet and some Twitch emotes. They arent normal crates with costumes, mementos and the whole shebang.

    Is it possible that you haven't logged in during those days? I received all three, but my sister only received two because on July 1st she didn't log in knowing the rewards didn't work (and she was studying for an exam, so she preferred not to lose precious time).

    Free crown gems are awesome. They really add up over time.

    Well said. Free is free.

    I think I have over 400 gems. 4 free mounts and tons of other adornments etc.

    I haven’t bought a crate yet. Happy to renew my sub though.

    Yeah, they drop crappy items, but you can exchange those crappy items for something you want... For example, those Pyandonean motifs if you want to save some gold. Or you can just keep them for the next crown season.
    I personally got 40 free gems from those event crates (psijic and ouroboros) so I'm not complaining.

    the mere fact you can get the same useless item multiple times in one crate is the real joke. Honestly what possessed the people designing the crown crate to make that possible. It is hands down and without a doubt insulting to anyone that pays for a crown crate. The free ones like the twitch drop ones are fine, but the pay to roll crates should not be able to have duplicates within one crate.

    They arent rigged. This is how they work. They are Twitch Crates, the intent is for people to be awarded these for watching Twitch Streams. The only things in them is trash drops like these, Twitch Emotes and a very rare chance at a Mount and Pet. Obviously they arent going to just hand out the Emotes, Mount and Pet with every Twitch Crate, since they want to motivate you to tune in as often as possible. These things are free.

    1. when do they even host them you go to the known streamers and nothing. 2. i actually have a job so really they should drop practically 24/7 for anyone streaming eso. and 3. they are surely rigged because how in the heck can a third of a guild get identical items practically out of their boxes just in different order? they have alot of those boxes predetermined before you even open them.

    Can their contents be turned into gems like other crates?

    Yes, that's what I normally do. I ended up with 8 riding lessons after I converted everything but the scrolls and the pet.

    Thanks for crates.

    1.) They host them when they decide to host them. Currently theyre trying to reach players that dont even cross over into areas of Twitch where they would be exposed to ESO. So if you want the Twitch Crates, check out any number of Streamers that arent known for ESO gameplay.
    2.) Thats like your opinion, man. While I could get behind the idea, if they ran them 24/7 its unlikely it would be very long before most people would get what they wanted from the crates and stop tuning in. The point is to drag out the viewership for as long as possible. Im personally not a fan of their methods, but its not like this wasnt researched before implication.
    3.) It is not rigged when that is the vast majority of what is in the crates. As I said, theres not much else in there beyond the trash drops.

    At least you received 3 crates.. I only received 1 and I watched 4 different streamers over Sat and Sunday for over 5hours each.

    I'm beginning to thing I need to contact Twitch and actually see if my name was sent in only once or if more than once and ZOS is only giving me a single crate.

    I didn't even watch any of the twitch event, don't even have an account with them. I got 2 on my NA and 1 on the EU side of my ESO account.

    Not quite.

    The paid ESO purchases from Twitch award Twitch crates. Those include one Twitch emote or Twitch badge, and one Ouroboros crate containing consumables and rarely the Scarlet Regret collectibles.

    The free promotional drops only award the Ouroboros crate.

    So to avoid confusion, Twitch and Ouroboros should not be used as synonyms.

    Traded in everything from these crates for gems. Got a bunch of scrolls, so a bunch of gems.

    Too bad I can't trade the login rewards for Gems.

    Ouroboros crates generally only contain junk. But as the saying goes, never look a gift horse in the mouth.
    This creature called a songbird. What a devious creation! This winged nuisance erodes sanity with its incessant chirping. What a brilliant form of torture!

    The Twitch emotes and Ouroboros badge aren't in the Ouroboros crates. There's actually two different crates. Twitch crates occur on their server and have nothing to do with ESO's system, except that it contains an Ouroboros Crate, the badge, and some additional goodies including emotes. The Ouroboros Crate is what you see in ESO, and behaves like a crown crate, but with only two durable prizes.

    Got the bonus card which turned out to be another exp scroll so more gems.

    In that sense no different from normal crates. I'm almost at the point where I'll stop buying any because I get so tired of getting scrolls as my epic or legendary reward. This time round only bought one pack.

    Still these are freebies so no complaints and more gems means more choices when something nice does turn up.

    Just gotta be patient...
