finally Grim Harlequin crates and Grand Topal Hideaway return 🩷

So, no Zenithar furnishing pack, during the Zenithar event.
Right. Cause that makes sense.
Like not re-releasing the anniversary crates during the anniversary event.

The Overload skill style description mentions that it doesn’t work on light and heavy attacks… would it be correct to interpret this as “only the animation from pressing overload is yellow, the lightning from your hands is still blurple?” because if so, that is awful. Especially if the skill style is going to be as expensive as the other ones.

Oh, wow. They took my suggestion about bringing back the Subtle Dark Lashes. They haven't been back since they were first introduced in 2017. Thanks, ZOS! I'm glad other people will finally be able to get it.

I hate these random crate rotations. We had the Grim Harlequin Crates last year in March, so it's only been a little over a year since they were available. Meanwhile, we have crates like the Dark Brotherhood that appeared only once in 2024 and haven't returned in over two years.

I really wish ZOS would announce the entire crate schedule at the beginning of the year. Players wouldn't have to keep guessing and hoping certain crates will return, only to go the whole year without seeing them.

I'm waiting on the Dark Brotherhood ones too. I'm missing the motif from them.

This is likely motivated by the Sheogorath theme of the crate and the new Sheogorath Quests coming to the game this month.

EDIT: some players (not me) are expecting the Dwarves Crates to return since the start of 2026 but Greymoor (Western Skyrim) is becoming part of the base game in October, so it is likely around that period there will be returning crates of that theme, like Dwarven Crates.

They should start doing a weekly or bi-weekly rotation of all the previous crates, instead of waiting a year(s) till a possible return.

I am once again absolutely outraged by the absence of the Linchal Grand Manor amongst the returning houses.

Just sell me the house, ZOS!!!

It's so nice to see the return of old cosmetics that were gender- and race-locked. I know new cosmetics are no longer locked like that, but these old ones are just still nice and unique.

Yes. We have a LOT of crate seasons now, it takes a while for things to rotate. They should also limit new crate seasons to only 2 weeks of exclusivity. Because once you've purchased everything you want from a new season, there's very little in the crown store until the next month.

Dwemer crates return when?

What will happen to skill styles with reworks? Sorc rework not too far hopefully so a bit hesitant as to what we are potentially getting buy purchasing styles now VS later.

Dragonknight skill styles got adjusted to still work so the same should happen with all other skill styles in the future.

Sorcerer is likely getting more red skill styles as Dragonknight got more blue skill styles with its refresh.
