Taryn57✭✭✭Maybe now everything is changing Crown Sales will change too, or perhaps we won't even have them any more. There might be seasonal crown store discounts or BOGOF offers. I really hope not but we have no idea what changes there might be and it makes everything feel a bit uncertain at the moment.0 -
MidnightDuel✭✭✭✭Just noticed another, short round of maintenance for the ESO Store and Account System this week:
With the Labor Day holiday on September 7th, could the maintenance portent a belated Crown Sale this weekend to mark the end of summer 2026?4 -

That mount better do my taxes for that price.
I'm kidding ofc. I see those 11k crowns there.
I see the appeal of dropping 60 doritos for 11k crowns, and someone better at math than me may say it's a good deal.
But it's still a lot of money to drop in one go for a wierd horse and extremely specific amount of crowns.

Not a good deal. That's basically the regular crown price. Unless you really love the mount, not worth it for the crowns.3 -

It's roughly a 25% discount over purchasing two 5500 Crown Packs, if you're only after the crowns and don't care about the mount.Not a good deal. That's basically the regular crown price. Unless you really love the mount, not worth it for the crowns.
I'm getting mixed signals here.1 -

Not true. It’s quite a bit better value than the 21k pack, which costs way more, and that’s without even accounting for the mount. But considering this pack might be the reason we didn’t get a proper Crown sale makes it worse for me.2 -
AVaelham✭✭✭✭5500 crowns cost $39.99 for US players and €34.99 for EU players.
In order to get 11000 crowns normally you'd need two packs of 5500, which means a total of $79.98 for US players and €69.98 for EU players.
So yeah, it is a discount, but much more advantageous for the Americans for some reason.0 -
Czeri✭✭✭✭✭My starting point was the 21k crown pack. This costs roughly half of that, and you get roughly half the crowns, so almost like the regular price. Meanwhile it's only 10 quid less than the discounted 21k pack, so I'll hold on until I can get that price again.2

MidnightDuel✭✭✭✭Typically when we've had a sale on Crown Packs, there's been a graduated discount applied:
Excluding the value of the mount, the discount is roughly 25%. It's difficult to put a value on the mount itself, since the only equivalent mounts are crate-only offerings that returned with the Wraithtide Crates today.
While I'd much rather have an actual sale on Crown Packs, this package isn't without merit.0 -

Pretty sure it's ok to post the names of other games you play, and please do in this case. Thanks! (just don't be rude or snarky about it, just say I'm also playing X game and leave it at that. No judgements or anything)
dont think youre allowed to discuss other games...well lets just say the other big western mmorp that is successfull and started around the same time and is expecting another installment in the next couple years...
with regards to the "deal" in the crown store - i think they are trying to squeeze out more money without having to do a real sale...
if you give the mount a 3000 crown value thats basically a discount of 30%
