Okay, here is something else new: The Wiki page for furniture crafting! So if this is correct, we will not have to have a new skill line/spend skill points on a new crafting skill line to make them !!! WHEW !!!! Thank goodness!!!!

That's just speculation at the moment. All we know is that we will be able to craft some furniture - the specifics are still a secret.

I'd be surprised if they introduced a whole new skill line for it. It'd make no sense.

Oh no, it is just speculation? Darn it all !!!! I hope they are right,

Nice, thanks!

I'm curious to see how crafting furnishings will work. They already have the racial motif system in place for equipment crafting, so I can see how it would make sense to tie into that. If they did furnishings for every other motif that have already published, that would be a whole lot of different curtains!

Gotta be careful what you read on the wiki mALX Unless you can find a direct link and/or quote from a Zenimax dev, don't believe what you read.

I love the Redguard furnishings best. Auridon has some okay stuff too, but I don't know what racial style it is.





I thought that was the official Wiki page for them

Crown crates are coming on Thursday (So that's the 1st?).



"Hey Hazmick, what's a crown crate?"

Crown Crates are purchased through the Crown Store, and contain a randomized selection of useful consumables and collectibles that are valued more than the price of a single crate. In addition, they also offer a chance to obtain unique cosmetic items, pets, or mounts. Crown Crates include new and exclusive items, as well as some items you might have missed in previous limited time offers. Each Crown Crate is associated with a special “Season" that will include uniquely themed items, and will be cycled quarterly. The first theme will be 'Storm Atronach'.

You can purchase a single Crown Crate for 400 crowns, four Crates for 1500 crowns, or 15 Crates for 5000 crowns.



You can probably imagine the look on Haa-Rei's face when he saw that Storm Atronach Guar mount. By The Hist!

Oooh, that Aura looks mighty interesting to this doughty Dunmer Dragonborn!

The Crown Store Showcase for December is up.

COSTUMES

The “Elder Council" Tunic and Sash costume and The Imperial City Temple Tunic costume will both be available on all platforms starting on December 1st.

There are also some festive hats coming for the New Life Festival, available from December 22nd to January 4th on all platforms.

MOTIFS

The Stalhrim Frostcaster Style motif will be available on all platforms from December 15th to January 4th.

MOUNTS

The Great Elk mount will be available on all platforms from December 22nd to January 4th.

The Ice Wolf mount will be available on all platforms from December 8th to December 12th.

PETS

The White River Ice Wolf Pup will be available on all platforms from December 8th to December 12th.




Cirinwe really wants that Great Elk mount. Oh deer!

I want the Palomino horse so bad I can't see straight, wonder if it will be in one of them?








Oh, I absolutely LOVE that new armor! And the adorable wolfie pup pet too!

Thanks for the links, Hazmick!

I'm kind of liking the two new tunic type costumes.

hazmick, thanks!

Wolf pup, stag mount, cool tunics, funny hats - time for some shopping!

mALX, I saw somewhere that the Palomino Horse will be in one of the Crown Crates.

Cute pup! And Alise wants that hood for when she heads north into Skyrim!

GAAAAAAAH !!!!!! And I saw the new Camel for December already, it is gorgeous !!!! I want one of them too! (but not as much as the Palomino, lol.)

I've been watching the (hundreds of) Youtube vids regarding these Crown Crates and how many gems you get out of each to buy the items you do want with. It doesn't look good at all.

1st = you have to buy 4 crates and turn what they don't make you keep into gems to get enough gems to buy the cheapest item they have for sale; which is priced at 16 gems. (you get about 5 gems per crate if you sell back everything you can to them for gems)

2nd = the drop rate of high level items was so rare that one man bought 100 crates and didn't get a single mount; (but did get the cute black mask bear dog I want plus one memento) but another girl who didn't buy hers in one lump but over an 8 day stretch got one mount on day 7 (Senche Tiger) and another on day 8 (the Atronach Horse). Plus on day 8 she got the Senche Cub pet.

Both of them got numerous hairstyles and body/face markings for Khajiit & Argonian characters (though neither had them for any of their characters); both got numerous hats that made their characters look bald; both got numerous soul gems/potions/and speed/capacity/stamina points to spend at the stables. Both got numerous Crown stones.

The guy who bought all his in one lump got ONLY the same two costumes repeatedly and no others; but the girl who spread hers out over 8 days got several different costumes on different days (only one was adorable).


So it does seem that buying one to a few crates a day may be a better strategy. (buy one, open it, if you don't get what you want buy another?) Like maybe by the 3rd crate if you are licked, realize you need to come back another day and stop buying them that day? Like maybe they are randomly filled with items by day, and the next day would be different items? I don't know.

I don't know if the results are random by when you buy them or when you open them; like maybe you could buy the 4 crate discounted price and then just open one per day? I don't know it depends on when Zenimax has the random set up; on open or on purchase.

Anytime a collectible item was repeated the player got gems instead of the item (because you can only have one in your collections due to them being by Player, not by character).

Example: cheap items like hats or body/face markings gave 3 gems; armor or costumes gave 5; and mounts or pets if repeated gave 33 gems.

From what the girl who bought over 8 days said, you can't just sell back the collectibles you don't want or can't use like all the Argonian hair styles - you are stuck with what you get on those and can only hope a repeat nets you gems.

Does not sound like a good investment to me, but I do see me getting hooked on opening unknown crates so will be staying away from them like I stay away from the "Unknown Armor" crates at the Merchants,

Thanks, mALX. That just confirms my already easy choice to have nothing to do with the crates. I would be happy to buy quite a few of the crate items outright at the crown store. That is not how it is set up though so I'll give crown crates a pass.

Yep, these crates sound like a money sink. No thanks.

Yeah it sounds like the crown crates in ESO work exactly the same as loot crates in Overwatch. Sometimes RNG is kind and you'll get a cool item, but when you don't get what you want it feels like a waste of money.

It's just another stream of revenue for Zenimax, and a cool little optional purchase for those that want it. Haa-Rei would love a storm atronach guar, but I never have much luck with this sort of thing so I'm not going to bother (and not having ESO+ anymore means that crowns are tight).

Thanks for the info, mALX.

Thanks for the info, mALX!

I'm also skipping the Crown Crate mini-game. I'm very interested in some of the items they offer, but not at all interested in gambling for them. A straight-up cash transaction works for me. As awesome as the December Crown Store looks like it will be, they will make a bundle from me anyway!

If they made them purchase-able with in game gold I'd be there, but I'm not wasting real money on them.
