Do we know about the upcoming Crown Crates and when they go live?

Seraphayel · March 2021

Title says it all. Just curious, maybe someone can give me an update - thank you!

The soonest for the Ayleid crates would be sometime in April, but we won't know til the Crown Store Preview article

The next set, from the datamine, should be Ayleid I think. We get one set per quarter so likely after the Jester's Festival. They look awesome, I'm pretty hyped.

Lephrel · March 2021

They weren't in the March showcase, so my best guess is they'll be released sometime in April.

ForzaRammer · March 2021

They will go live right after crown sale is over. So better top up when during the sale instead of pay zos regular price.

The crates are usually in for 13 +/- 1 weeks. The last sets have released on June 18, Sept 24, and Dec 10, so we should be hitting the Ayleid crates really soon. I'd almost expect next Thursday since it's obviously not today. Also wouldn't be surprised if the "7 DAYS LEFT" counter started soon, like at 10:00 EST tomorrow.

The crates never show in the showcase of the month, but they get a news article a bit before (that can vary - Sovngarde's article was a full week in advance, whereas Nightfall's only popped the day before). I think it does tend to favor popping a few days before the crates drop, so look for it around Tuesday.

And in case you're interested, here's the datamine with most of the stuff: https://esomodelviewer.com/data-mining/post/10-update-6-3-0-flames-of-ambition-dlc-future-crown-store-items?utm_source=forums-elderscrollsonline-com&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=202101&utm_content=update-6-3-0-flames-of-ambition-dlc-crown-store-items

Now praying for Short Mussed Wave to be in there since we've had a streak of hairstyles in crates. Yeah, I'd prefer direct purchase, but I'm definitely on team "available at all" over not.

Isn’t there usually a preview crate as a daily reward in the month before launch or is that only occasionally? Maybe there will be one early next month and the crates released later in the month?

This, so much. I would be very surprised if short mussed wave didn't come in these crates or soon... especially with as much as they teased the hairstyle in the promos on toons during last year & the fact that its going to be on one of the companions in the upcoming Blackwood chapter, I hope they finally give us a chance to finally get it. I would hate to be staring at a companion's hair like "I want this hairstyle so bad" lol.

With unruly bangs being in the Potentate crates, I strongly feel that short mussed wave is next honestly, but we will see.

And when is the Crown sale?

Lugaldu · March 2021

It's always funny to see that one group can't wait for new crown crates, while the other group demonizes them.

We usually have Crown sales in April, August, and December. They don't announce them beforehand to prevent us from stockpiling Crowns like we all do, but the sales have been pretty consistent with one right around the anniversary event, one during Quakecon, and one over the holidays.

We usually have one, but I think it's only been before the crates once oddly enough. Usually it's out after the new crates are already available. I wouldn't be surprised to see an Ayleid preview in next month's rewards even after the thing's been out a while.

I think they might even bring them out a bit later since we've only seen the datamined art for one of the pets and not all of them.

MajThorax · March 2021

New crates are not usually included in the monthly showcase, only bringbacks. So we could get an article from dear @ZOS_GinaBruno very soon.

So the Akaviri crates are running out in 7 days, does that mean we’re getting the Ayleid crates directly after that or is there a time between old and new crates?

When the 7 day countdown starts, that means a new crate season is about to begin. So I would expect an article & discussion thread on the Ayleid crates either tomorrow or sometime before Thursday next week.

Wow! Some of this looks really nice but... all I know is that training dummy has my name on it.
