    I am thinking it will be the Dead-lands DLC will be free. This will boost the sales of Blackwood as it will be on sale.




    They gave away murkmire as a dlc back in the day

    They didn't give it away before it was released tho.

    It would be nice I guess, tho I already have ESO+ so it wouldn't make much difference. Is something that would only cost 2k crowns really incredible tho? And worth all the hype?

    An Old Deathwart mount in assorted colors and maybe he will have a mohawk.

    I feel like there not being a companion with the DLC was a surprise absence. My guess is the reward is a companion who is a popular npc. Eveli? Fits with the theme. Caldwell is likely the most popular.

    Eveli?? I thought you said "popular NPC"? >:)

    I can't stand Eveli. But maybe it's just me.

    Hold up and let's talk before we go on...

    Considering how she insists on making jokes in moments that are supposed to be suspenseful, she turns out to be the Jar-Jar Binks of the ESO-verse.

    Every time I get to a door, she wants to stop and chat with me. "Hold up..." I don't know why she always wants to stop and talk, but I hope she gets it out of her system before I come across her again....

    It's not just you. I have ZERO use for her. Even the argonians were better - and I don't like argonians.

    A cascading bounty box, unlocked at 100%

    Could the name be a hint? Cascading, Sweetwater Cascades??
    Sweetwater Cascades is the mystery price.

    Its huge, it fullfills all hints and was announced as it will be available during the event-> it is the big "price" (remember the prices gets added as a bundle to the crown store, so it qualifies as "shows up in crown store").

    It needs to be " incredible " aka big, expensive , and all chapters had a huge house so far as "free" reward.

    I doubt it as we already get a house this year in q4.
    Also it was shown in the september crownstore showcase in wich none of the other annonced reward were

    Event-Ticket rewards are never in the "incredible" category aka 15k+ crowns worth, like Sweetwater Cascades is. And the showcase is correct, you will be able to get the home during the event it states there, and during the event the rewards will be unlocked so it matches.

    Yup mostly what i said

    rly dont get why so many think it will be a companion would just be insanly unfair to new players (especily if its a good one)

    i expect it to be something like a house

    but honestly i hope its something cooler - like maybe 10% more furnishings slots for all ? :)

    or maybe something like the greybear skin for the warden bear - more skins for abilities

    "You’ll have to wait until the Gates of Oblivion Year-End Stream to learn about the fourth and final prize, but trust us, it’s amazing, and well worth risking the dangerous wilds of Blackwood"

    I mean, that could be just marketing speak as well. We all know how hyped everyone was with "When you open a Grim Harlequin Crown Crate, you’ll have a chance to receive the items previewed below and many more, and in a first for Crown Crates since their inception, the Apex reward tier will include a costume and personality!"

    If I had to put money down, I'm betting it's a mount. We haven't seen one around for a bit, and we know the store team loves mounts — to the extent that it feels like they don't release any other cosmetics (and definitely never character cosmetics that we beg for, that's for sure).

    Sure would like those NPC hairstyles though. Basti's been teasing us for months at this point...

    It’s not going to be something that changes game play. It has to be locked behind the Blackwood chapter.

    A companion gear bag would be nice but “amazing” seems like an extreme overstatement. Although a gear bag for all equipment would border on amazing.

    Something that isn't already available in the crown store. Otherwise it wouldn't be amazing for anyone who already owns it. I agree with everyone who said it might be a companion or something related to them. The equipment bag suggestion sounds good too. If it's a house, that would be pretty disappointing, given that there will be one in Q4. It won't be anything that ESO+ includes. I doubt ZOS wants to *** off its subscribers.

    If it’s Sweetwater Cascades, wouldn’t that mean we would all get the unfurnished version, and that the only people who could get a furnished one would be people who have to buy it later, like when the Psijic Villa occasionally comes up for sale?

    I’m pretty sure it will be Sweetwater Cascades. Summerset and Greymoor events had a house as community reward and the announcement mentions a cascading bounty box. If that’s not a hint I don’t know what is.

    I don’t know about the Psijic Villa but the Antiquarian’s Gallery was at least partially furnished. I still have a boatload of bound tables in storage.

    That is what I said a few posts up, the Cascading Bounty Box seems like a pretty big Hint as to what the reward is

    Look at the definition of the word:

    (of water) pour downwards rapidly and in large quantities.
    "water was cascading down the stairs"


    So a falling bounty box? that does not really make sense does it.

    Could be multi-rider mount. There were some settings options added to PTS to let companions drive pillion on those.

    I hope you are wrong about the multi-player mount. So cheesy and of little use to any one who is not part of a couple who play together.

    The “cascading bounty boxes” first appeared the year of Elsweyr, which was another year where a free home was given outside of this event. It also included the crafting stations and target dummy. No water was involved just layer after layer of reward boxes inside of other reward boxes.

    Agree.

    I'm guessing they've reworked the multi-rider spider to allow only companion passengers, seeing as player passengers led to a lot of issues and scrapping the mount. + giving it for free covers for lost functionality + get feedback if people like companion multi mounts for future crown store addition

    They'll probably paint it like an additional RP reason to get Companions (and Blackwood).

    I don't see anything that crazy in the data mine leaks, ZOS is hyping this up pretty hard and probably it's something cosmetic, so yeah. This is a preexisting asset, could pull a sneaky

    It'll be a Stibbo companion that you can direct to stand on plates and pull levers and maybe even split into more Stibbos for doing more complex puzzles.

    He'll never have any burden's to carry, be dumb as a rock and wont be a combat companion. :smiley:
