Awesome legendary reward boxes! Thank you ZOS! (Spoilers)

logarifmik · October 2019

Thank you for the gifts, developers! The costume is awesome, maybe I even use it one day.

I also want to add, that in my opinion Elsweyr so far is the best chapter. The story is cool, the area is great, even the prologue radiant quests this time are meaningful (not like this jest you made for Murkmire DLC). I would love to see more such a content in the future.

Though, I should say it again. Overall Vestige story is a big mess now. Newcomers often ask, where is the start of the story, they are at lost. You must do something with the story sequence and its consistency one day. And, yeah, older content needs an improvement as well.

How is the costume on bestial races?

I quite like it on my female Khajiit, will have to see what it dyes like.

I got a JC Master Writ (granted it is a legendary craft) that's worth 635 writs, lol. I thought that was pretty nice.

I loved the rewards! It was so much fun opening all the boxes, then traveling around to several of my houses to distribute some of them. Did anyone else get several furnishing items, apart from the attunable stations and practice dummy? I got 2 coffers, an urn, some fish for the hearth, a lighting object, and I think one other thing I can't remember right now.

Oh boy how's ZOS gonna top this It's-Christmas feeling for New Life?

It doesn't take much, as I'm very easy to please.

And I love New Life, I think it's my favorite event.

Best boxes ever,could be anything in there.

Neoealth · October 2019

Yes indeed, really very nice rewards. I was surprised. Thank you.

Seems everyone got the same core items and the other stuff was random. For example I got no gold tempers but did get some gold master writs and purple jewelry crafting mats.

Love the training dummy and the pile of gold. And very happy with the crafting stations. I made mine as Julianos because that's the gear I tend to make the most to sell.

Donari · October 2019

Facepalm (at myself) time: I just realized that I misread the blog post. The treasure pile isn't a lootable furnishing, it's just a very pretty thing. Or ... hmm ... currently in the blog it says:

"The final reward is more than an audacious display of wealth you can place in your home, however. It also features a series of lootable bags that provide all kinds of amazing items, including a new target dummy. However, that’s not all, as during Dragon Rise you can also unlock bonus XP and gold acquisition for the whole Northern Elsweyr zone!"

But I am seeing quotes from other players posted before today that say:

"The FINAL REWARD "Dragons Treasure Trove Furnishing" is more than an audacious display of wealth you can place in your home, however. It also features a series of lootable bags that provide all kinds of amazing items, including a new target dummy. You can find these INSIDE the furnishing ONCE you have placed it in your HOME."

That latter is what people were talking about, I know there was a lot of speculation about how the lootable treasure pile would work. But now it seems you just get the cascading boxes as a crown bundle (for free) and the treasure is non-interactable. I wonder if they changed it or if players got confused and spread the wrong info?

Either way, the rewards are awesome! My first crafting stations and target dummy, hurray!

Yeah I totally thought it would be an interactable furnishing.

Maybe they could tweak that in the future. Interact with it to throw up a shower of gold coins or something.

merevie · October 2019

Thank you this is amazing. My Eu toon got everything just fine. I did NA second and clicked x instead of opening to see the messages. It seems to have resulted in the treasure pile furnishing not being shown in list. I did get access to all the inventory rewards though

Totally blown away!

for the first time in 4 years playing this game i have to say wow to zos an awesome set of rewards well done and thank you and hope the cats get the $200k too

I'm not trying to be negative but last year we got a mount a pet and a beautiful gigantic mansion so I'd give them a little bit more credit.

I just looked at the money meter https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/slaydragonssavecats
We're halfway through the event and it's not even at 10% yet.
Looking pretty tight. And people are gonna do the prologue quest starting tomorrow so Dragons might get a breather.
Well, actually people might still be fooling around with their new prezzies

so even the prologue might take a back seat.

Thanks. Quite statuesque on Visage but then you notice the teeth. Cool.

The only furnishing I got was a pile of turmeric, which is pretty sweet. Now I'm trying to decide a good all around set to attune the crafting stations to, given that I am happy with my main's gear and none of my alts are 50. /happy dithering

That's exactly the problem I'm having, and why I've always hesitated on getting attunable stations before. I don't know which set/s I'll want to make enough to justify it.

Davor · October 2019

I was selling that stuff. You mean we can actually use it? I thought we are suppose to sell "treasure" items since they don't do anything.

Did I just sell my stuff that was actually useful?

No, you're fine. The "treasure pile" is a collectible furnishing that goes straight into collections. The dragon's treasure items are for vending.

On another note, oops, I didn't get an actual pile of turmeric, I got the recipe for it. So I can make it later. I got confused since I previewed it on ESO Fashion and thus thought I'd seen the item.

Davor · October 2019

Thank you so much @Donari for the reply. Good to know I didn't screw up then.

dagrdagaz_5912 · October 2019

Very cool rewards!

Only thing i did not like was that the 10 'yellow' reward boxes were character bound.
And i happened to grab these rewards on a lvl11 alt

So, i ended up with 3 pretty useless lvl11 purple sets

"If you travel to the past, that past becomes your future, and your former present becomes the past, which can’t now be changed by your new future." - Hulk, Avengers: Endgame

Basically, the content can be played in the order in which is was chronologically released. But playing it out of order (experiencing time as a Daedric vessel) is not going to change the outcome of the story. There's no "end" yet, and the beginning is somewhat relative.

Ah okay I found it now. "Working with GlobalGiving, we're thrilled to be able to help support pets in need by donating to two amazing charities: Best Friends Animal Society and FOUR PAWS. Want to do your part for the cause? From now until December 9, 2019, defeat Dragons in game and we'll donate $1 for every five (5) beasts slain, up to a maximum of $200,000."

No offence, but I can't agree with Hulk here. It's a bad way to tell a story. Period.

Yeah, but playing it out of order does effect the player's experience of that story. Which, since this is a game, is kind of the important thing.

And sure, you can still play it in order - but how obvious is that order to someone new who hasn't looked up a guide? (and may not even know there's a need to do so)

morrowjen · October 2019

I am absolutely THRILLED with this. I was a little disappointed with my regular gold boxes but these more than made up for it! I'm staying in Elsweyr forever now. lol.
