This is the official discussion thread for the web article "Crown Store Showcase–August 2026"

"Preview some of the mammoth(!) highlights coming to ESO’s in-game Crown Store this August!"

That mount Looks fun.

Maitsukas · July 31

The new format is something that takes getting used to.

Is it possible to add a "NEW:" for everything that hasn't appeared before?

Edit: Also would it be possible to include high-quality renders only for new items, as the old ones can already be seen in previous showcases and on UESP (it's best to have them be between 1080p to 4K, highest resolution datamined ones are 1024x512 pixels which isn't really that good).

thank you!
Happy to finally see the 4 player Mammoth mount.

edited to add
i am surprised that Star Gazer's Vigil does not release in August. i hope it is in September then.

Personally i like the new Crown Store Showcase format, it is helpful that it is split up by week of release instead of item category.
Though it would be better if it also was made clear which items are new and old as not everyone knows this.

FINALLY, Gladesong Arboretum, thank you so much!

ZOS and I have a very different interpretation for the word Stealth.

@ZOS_Kevin: the new showcase format works pretty well as far as I'm concerned, so y'all get a thumbs-up and a "well done" from me. I think I'd ditto @Gabriel_H @Maitsukas (same avatar; oops) with asking for a "NEW" indicator of some sort, however. My reasoning for it is that it gives those of us who edit the UESP Wiki a head-up that there is something which needs to be added, but it's also useful for long-time players who might be less interested in returning stuff because "been there, done that, and maybe bought the t-shirt already." Above all else, though, I appreciate y'all keeping the showcase going.

12 player mount when?

ZOS_Kevin · July 31

Thanks for the feedback on formatting here. We'll pass along the sentiment for a * NEW * tag of some sort.

Just want to pass on that I actually think this format is better then the old one. Weekly list structure is vastly superior and makes the information much more digestable then by content area.

The *NEW* Tag is a great idea as well.

Mondays & Thursdays

I'm used to Thursdays being the day new stuff always drops in the store, but looking through the list I see plenty of stuff also drops on Mondays.

Statuette: St. Olms the Just is the free ESO+ item. I know it's not a super important item, but it's something I always check for, so just hi-lighting it for others.

One final thing, I also used check the showcase for clues about upcoming events, (though this might be more affected by the shift from tickets to trade bars.) I see some Three Banners stuff, is Whitestrake's Mayhem next week?

You do not need to check for clues about upcoming events.
The monthly Survival Guides and Seasonal Roadmaps have dates for events.

Whitestrake’s Mayhem Event (August 5-12)

Clash with your fellow players in Cyrodiil, the Imperial City, and Battlegrounds to earn bonus Alliance Points, Experience Points, and Tel Var Stones. Fragments of the Colovian War Torte recipe are also up for grabs—go bring honor to the Star-Made Knight! Note that this event no longer grants Trade Bars.

5000 Crowns for a 4 player mount seems reasonable.
And it looks like an awesome mount

Diebesgut · August 9

... 5500 Crowns is far to expensive for me - and no crowns on sale.

@ZOS_Kevin Quick question on the dates please:

If something is scheduled to be released on XX August, does that mean at 00:00 in a given timezone, e.g. Central time?
I need to convert that to my local timezone please

Crown Store items typically rotate at 14:00 UTC/10:00 EDT.

Is the mount a 4 player mount? I read somewhere I cannot remember that the mount could have 3 players mounted on the top of the mount?
