    I bought the banker + merchant with my first round of eso+ and the crowns they give you for new accounts. Best purchase in the game.

    Moon Sugar Meadow. I travelled there just to have a look. Fell in love at a first glance and rushed to get crowns for it.

    I did buy 3 5000 Crown Packs once when they were 40% Off. But that is almost an Investment.

    Princely Dawnlight Palace. Furnished, which I now regret, but I do love the house.

    I had just returned to the game and had a *** ton of crowns because they gave them to you as compensation for when you were subscribed when it was mandatory or something? And then I spent most of it on the house. :D

    The Blood Forged skin. Made a high elf character that was bald with a white Oilcan Boyd mustache. Daughter thought he would look cool with that skin. Gotta say, she was right

    In game: A lot of jewelry from the golden vendor that i will probably never get around to using.

    Crown store: IDR the in game name or the exact price, but IIRC it was ~$20-$25 for the limited time only black fire lion mount...or there's been a couple times i bought crates solely to grind gems for a specific mount.

    Haven't bought anything CS related for a while though, this was back when lag, bugs and bluescreens were uh, slightly less frequent/detrimental.

    I never even wanted it, but I was as drunk as as a lord and giddy and somehow thought it was a great idea at the time.

    Never, NEVER play when drunk, kids. You might end up with Hakkvild's.

    Bought 15 Reaper's Harvest Crates last time they were around. I had never actually bought from that season before, just used gems to get what I wanted.

    First crate had a Frost Draugr mount.

    I bought the Pariah's Pinnacle house immediately, only to watch crowns go on sale like a week after. I was pissed I spent 150$ or something like that when if I had waited a week i could get it for near half that

    I've never bought stuff on the clown store for real money, though I did unlock most DLC and gifted another bunch of them with clowns from subscribing.

    The biggest impulse purchase *while* playing ESO was pledging to an upcoming MMO that rejects in-game purchases as a monetization model. Though I've heard that before, I'll bite again and see what happens...

    You mean like all at once? Or over time? All at once it was like 40k crowns for gems.

    Out of curiosity, which MMO?

    Edit: For me, just ESO+, and one $25 crown purchase to get the Grim Harlequin and have just enough left over for the pig. I almost made it to my next ESO+, and am...fairly...determined to do so. This is my first year playing, and most of the ESO+ crowns went to the banker+merchant, plus one extra character slot. No regrets there.

    Elsweyr CE preorder. Pretty satisfied though. I'm not big on crates but I'll spend crowns from subs on an outfit occasionally. Mostly I'm using them to add character slots. Up to 11 lol.

    Moon Sugar Meadow — saw it, loved it, bought the Crowns immediately to buy it before realizing it wasn’t a limited time sale! :lol: But I have no regrets! :)

    They get me with almost every flash sale. If it's a mount or a skin, it's probably going to get bought.

    Id say either the crown sale where I bought 35000 crowns or when I spend my year of ESO+ crown allotment on Linchal Grand Manor... I havent decorated it yet and including it I own 56k crowns in houses and i really dont do much with housing lol. Im somewhat ashamed of my ESO spending habit. I figured it up the other day and wass shocked how much I have spent.

    The first elk mount. 6000 crowns. I don't even use it. And every subsequent elk mount has looked cooler and cost less.

    Great Elk was 4500 Crowns. Not 6000.

    Last night I bought over $100 worth of crowns on Xbox because of the sale. Didn't get the Apex I wanted but I got a ton of gems for the next few crate types and also the the frost spider and just about every other lesser item (personality, skins etc).

    I feel dirty but if its supporting the game I like I'm not too unhappy.
