The Twitch crates are a unique sort and not compareable to the sold ones. They only contain "trash" you turn into gems and 1 pet and 1 mount. That's it. They are pretty much only for you to get some gems.

I only look at the twitch drop crates for gem extraction, free gems is fine with Me

Really, ZOS? You "give" us drop crates, and don't bother to even guarantee a mildly chance to get at least a Superior reward?

My last 4 twitch drop crates I got potions, poisons and... some Gold Coast useless stuff. C'mon! [snip]

Crown Crates are, for sure, a huge source of profit so why don't be a little more generous and allow us a tiny spec of happiness for free?

Jeez...

Usually I convert what I get in the drop crates to 4 gems, which I hold on to until I have enough to get something I want. I have been watching ESO streamers occasionally for a few years, so I already have the drop crate mount and pet.

I would not watch a stream just for the drop crates, IMO.

In the years I've been playing this game I do not recall a single time when I got anything other than useless potions, poisons, or mount riding lessons from the Ouroboros crates. So get used to disappointment with those creates haha. They're pretty much just a small income of gems to me.

It's all just RNG. Most of the time you get stuff that can be turned into a total of 4 or 5 Crown Gems, occasionally you get an item that can be turned into maybe 30 Crown Gems, and once in a blue moon you get an item that can be turned into more than 100 Crown Gems.

Case in point, this week I got 3 free Crown Crates-- from the ESO Live stream, from the Stream Team PTS U39 streams, and from other ESO streamers' PTS U39 streams.

On PC EU I got about 12 or so Crown Gems out of the 3 crates.

On PC NA I got the Senche Cub of Scarlet Regret-- which I already have (and which came from a free Crown Crate)-- so I got over 100 Crown Gems for it.

Just RNG.

Trying to look on the bright side here: You get the same crate on your EU and NA account.
So I opened those boxes on NA for fun (don't really play there). Ofcourse I got the pet twice...

Have not been so lucky on the EU side...Oh you damn RNG

But hey, as previous people mentioned: look at it as free gems!

The drop chance for the pet and mount are really low, so if you get them, that is just an added bonus.

@notyuu what about resplended sweetroll?
it not in the list but i received it from those crates

@The_one_i_seek
that is in EVERY crate as an apex level drop, and as you well know you can exchange it for a pile of gems

The pet is pretty cute, I have it. They are just free crates for gems. It's how they have worked for years now.

Luck of the draw my friend. I can’t remember what it’s called because I don’t play much nowadays but I got that super rare black and red glowing cat mount from a twitch drop.

I've never bought a single crate-- well, aside from gifting event tickets to another player one year and getting crates in return, which is pretty much like buying crates.

Over the years that I've received free crates for watching ESO Live and streamers playing ESO on Twitch, I've typically received only low-cost rewards that convert to 4 or 5 gems, but over the years I've been able to use those gems to get several 16-gem pets that I wouldn't have otherwise.

I've also gotten lucky and have received both the Senche of Scarlet Regret mount and the Senche Cub of Scarlet Regret pet-- on both servers no less, PC NA and PC EU.

So the Twitch drops seem pretty nice to me. Most of the time you don't get much, but the free gems do add up, and once in a while you can strike it lucky.

Thank you for the free crates, ZOS!

Probably the simple LOGIC behind all of this:
Less free stuff means more Crown sales.

I highly doubt the twitch drops have affected crown crate sales in anyway whatsoever considering how long it takes to get anything decent from gems

And aren't those new endeavours going to be mixed with the existing ones. I imagine they are all up at once on the PTS to test them out

Typically multiple endeavors per day right now can require DLC, e.g. opening Thieves Troves, completing Black Sacraments/Heists, using the Blade of Woe, excavating antiquities, etc. I want to say I usually see up to 2 of the 5 dailies requiring DLC. (Today’s surprises me in that is has none.) One of the weeklies may also require DLC, as it does this week. I don’t recall ever seeing a case where you have to own DLC (not counting Vvardenfell) to get your 3 dailies and 1 weekly, but having more content gives you new options.

In that screenshot, Moon Hunter Keep and Oblivion portals are the paywalled options. Halls is part of the Vvardenfell entitlement, which has now been granted to everyone and is being granted with all new purchases going forward.

My greater concern with the endeavors in that screenshot is the increased specificity, increased time requirements, and decreased variety in types of activities. I suspect that’s for the Undaunted event, but even so I’d be concerned it will make people who don’t like dungeons or trials feel excluded from the endeavor system as well as from the event. They already offer incentives for the event with tickets and other rewards. They don’t need to make the endeavor system more of a stick to the event’s carrot.

Its always been like that before Endevours system it was how I got gems for crown crates stuff.

The Twitch Drop Crates literally have only bad things in them. You cannot get anything good out of them. They are only meant for Gem extraction.
