✭✭✭What annoys me with crates is that the drop rate is not as distributed as they claim. I got 3-4 of several items, not several items at the same likelihood layer.
It is not as random as claimed and things like this are far too expensive.
I had not bought crates for quite a while, but I bought a set or two lately and got nothing useful. I think I did get 1 mount, but I am not certain on that. Mounts and this polymorph is about all I would like.PC

Spriggans are not plants, though. Spriggans are spirits. They are close to dryads of mythology (even though there is some type of dryad in ES, as there are mushrooms named after dryads), who are female only as well.Oreyn_Bearclaw wrote: »That is just too many gems. I havent bought Crates in a few cycles, so admittedly, I am a bit skewed in my perspective, but that just seems like an absurd number for a skin. I do like it and was looking forward to it, but I am not going to dump the bulk of my gem supply on this.
I know its a hard question to ask because its not consistent, but has anyone done some rough calculations of the Gem/Dollar ratio?Ringing_Nirnroot wrote: »I spent 5.7 mil gold on 25k crowns just to get the spriggan. Didn’t realize it was only female. How is my male character gonna turn into a female? Kinda bothers me especially since I paid so much. Why can’t the Transformation momento to be the polymorph. Looks so much cooler and doesn’t put your character through a sex change. I want a refund really bad but not sure how that works.
As much as I hate the polymorph and it’s price, spriggans are female based on TES lore
Edit: *spriggans have a female form (not gonna assume) ._.
If it’s part of lore and they are only ever female then ok...but aren’t there male spriggans like the matron spriggan or something? Lol idk why bothers me so much but it does.
Pfft... as someone who knows how plants actually work, humans putting mammalian reproductive anatomy on plant creatures in fantasy fiction bothers me just in general. Plants are very clearly not mammals. Neither are reptiles for that matter, but that doesn't stop the same problem from happening in fantasy fiction reptiles. I'll grant fantasy fiction doesn't have to respect basic principles of biology, but... it annoys me.

I’ve seen more 1200 gem mounts than I have spriggans (literally saw one)1 -

✭✭✭The mount comes from crates. Quite unlikely, but it does.
Not sure about the morph.PC

✭✭✭I'd pay 3-4k crowns on it, sure. But I'm not going to sink a few hundred dollars to get the gems to buy the thing. Anything over 100 gems in price is too expensive, 100 gems or less, you can probably get it with 5kish crowns if you really want it, anything more is either pure RNG or a whale hunting tactic.0 -

✭✭✭I spent far too much on Crown crates my first winter event for the crystal wolf (I think that is what it was). No more on that.
Too much repetition on those crates, though I guess that is part of what gave me enough for the wolf then.PC

Galwylin✭✭✭✭✭The poly is okay. The gem exclusive is not. The high gem exclusive is very much not okay.0 -
For me, it is what 500 gems actually represents as a measure of real life dollars. As the amount you potentially get per crate purchase is so random, it could translate into $100 or $300 (or whatever). Point being, at 500 gems, that polymorph isn't going for $30 or anywhere close to a reasonable price.Lady_Galadhiel wrote: »Am curious,is it worh 500 gems for you and will you get it?
As a consumer, this is a hard No from me.
And to the ESO monetization team, shame on you for continuing the trend on exorbitantly priced Cash Shop goods.
A month or so back I bought a "Hermaeus Mora" flying pet for 200 gems. I had 80-ish gems and had to buy 16 crates to get the missing 120 gems. Now the crates were on sale otherwise I would never had spend any crowns on that.
Getting 500 gems is a money sink I can't accept.0 -

Yea 500 gems is way too much for a polymorph,as I mentioned I will wait for the brown version of it (if it will ever come out).
If not,then not.My character can live without being a tree,specially my bosmer.
Even sillier is Polymorphs for Halloween where like 1200. Like why skyrocket it0 -

1200 crowns is a good price for a polymorph,however I guess people would have also spended 2500 crowns for this one but 500 gems? Like o.O
But alas,nothing we can do about it apart from not buying it,just hope they won't come up with such absurd prices in the future for other polymorphs.

No
I would request refund if that was the case. I bought it back in 2016 during it's first release, and I was very disappointed by the voice of that polymorph in combat, plus few little things. If I didn't already own it, would I buy it nowadays? No 
No paid polymorphs were given as daily login rewards.
There is still no good showcase of Sylvan Spriggan polymorph, and I've decided not to buy it just to test the feel of silent combat.
However, I did submit feedback about what disappointed me in this polymorph enough not to buy it, based on feedback of people who own it. Hopefully next Spriggan polymorphs will have female dance animations and cool voice

✭✭✭✭So, I got this polymorph. And I really like it. The only thing that would make it look better was if there was a way to have a leaf-like aura around them. Or some sort of leafs floating around them.
Currently I am using the wild hunt camel with it, but I don't like the wildhunt mounts for this polymorph. And there are not really any other green mounts/nature mounts in-game, especially ones that match this polymorph.
PS: Possible crownstore option: Character effects?Edited by Sarannah on May 8, 2021 9:06AM0 -
