my crew got a mechanical mudcrab that looks a bit gross; a mage's robe; two XP scrolls; and a body tat that she probably will never wear. The rest was all poisons and potions, food, etc.

But I agree with Acadian = still awesome fun to get these free crates!!!

(but unfortunately, that means it may be a year before I can even get the low level stuff since i have to wait till they are giving out free crates to get these gems, lol).

Khajiit’s crew got 2 things of interest: a Mages Guild Sentry Cat non-com pet (which Brenna claimed right away and gave it a home in her brand new apartment in Sentinel, *sigh* Brenna is so spoiled), and a Mages Guild Leggings costume that someone might wear. At some point. Perhaps Sorai will wear it when she is pretending to care about the Mages Guild And needs to not look as... barbaric. Other than that, rubbish.

Kind of jealous that I missed out on all the cool things, but I'm glad everyone got some nice ones.

So I'm back and today I try to get acclimated to the game again, as I come back to several expired guild store mails, several research pieces finished, and RIGHT on the next set of writs after the day that I died.

Khajiit, that long-earred kitty and the MG leggings are good scores!

Monkey, so nice to have you back in game!

Sorry you missed out Monk. Caught a tough break there (no pun intended). Glad you are finally back though!

Ooo, sentry cat! Nice, Khajiit! I agree that there were a number of lower-tier items that were appealing, especially the pets.

Jerric got a Centurion uniform and is told that he looks damned handsome in it (the helm covers his nose ), the Mages Guild formal robes that Darnand will wear, and the fiery sphere that I’m sure one of them will use to annoy another. Everything else was consumable and converted to gems. Fun to get and open the crates as a gift, but since I don’t have piles of money lying around collecting dust, I won’t be buying any.


monkey, sorry you missed this round. Very happy to hear you’re back.

Khajiit is ashamed. He spent nearly 15k (in game gold) on an Order of the Hour motif leg chapter.
Now we just need shoulders for a complete set of armor.

WOO HOO !!!!! Thank goodness! Just in time for that mystery box contest on doing the random normals, lol.







I need just two more pieces to have the Order of the Hour done, and almost bought one for 20,000. Daggerfall Covenant style I just need one more piece.






Aw, really good score on that cat! I only got the mechanical mud crab

WOO HOO! I ended up with four mystery boxes today! Two of them just contained some special dye colors; but the other two had decent gifts! One was a "Treasure Hunter" costume; the other was a monster trophy that you sell to the vendors for 1000. Gold is always welcome,

That treasure hunter outfit is cool looking! This one could see a medieval Indiana Jones type wearing something like that!

Khajiit got his controller situation sorted out so he had Brenna finish up the A’likr questline. It was fun!

Oh good! That is Awesome!

And today he noticed that the new controller has a button that sticks.
It doesn’t seem to actually affect the gameplay, but it sure is annoying!

Urgh!

Lol, exactly

Spent all my Crowns on Storm Atronach Crates and I STILL didn't get the hairs I missed out on. I got some okay things, but since I didn't' get the two things I wanted and i generally don't use things I don't want...well yeah. Worst part is that even if you could buy the stuff with gems, I probably wouldn't have enough for a single one anyways.

I guess I can finally better pretend Jo'zira is his mount and the mounted figure is but a decoy, since his assigned mount is now a Clouded Leopard Senche. Also I did get some Stamina training books for mounts that Fjotreid actually needs. Silver lining, I guess.

I got other things to be bitter about anyways

Crown crates are basically a money pit.

Yeah, tbh. I think the Storm Atronach ones are the only ones I really cared about because of those hairs. Ah well, maybe some day they'll be on the actual Crown Store.

Anyways, I've been doing a lot of thinking about my time in ESO and how a certain...thing that might happen soon has been on my mind for a long time, mostly because of a certain plot development as well as a certain...decline in how ESO is written now and how it doesn't seem like being the Vestige matters at all in any recent content (though I guess you do get some extra dialogue if you've done the main quest).

With that, and the fact that the Clockwork City has been out for a while now, here's my ranking of added story content, from best to worst:

Wrothgar
Thieves Guild
Clockwork City
Morrowind
The Gold Coast (who the hell wrote this? The only redeeming quality is the appearance of AD characters for once, and the land)

tbh there's something of a gap between Morrowind and the Gold Coast. Imperial City and Dungeon DLCs excluded because I barely touched the first and I'm not interested in the others. So I have no opinion.

I'm thinking maybe I should start a new character to run vanilla content with. A restart of the Squad, maybe? Memories of past adventures?

To be honest, Khajiit is still a little confused about the whole Vestige thing.

And don’t even get this one started (again) on the mess they made by making Vvardenfell the intro.

Yeah, basically,


And yeah, with Vvardenfell it's even more unclear as to exactly what that accomplishment means for the PC. I guess it's so it's left to the player's imagination.
