Crown store showcase for September is up:

HOUSING

Linchal Grand Manor - limited time from September 14th to September 18th


STYLE PARLOR

"Admire me" emote - September 21st

New "Muscle Flex" emote - September 21st

Blood-Forged skin - September 21st

Don't forget to mention that the Imperial City DLC is going on sale starting tomorrow!!!!

I thought the emotes were personalities at first. Hitting the Q4 inter-DLC content drought I guess.

I kind of want Linchal Manor but at the same time it's probably like 10k crowns.

I checked it out on the PTS, really wasn't very impressed by it. Would have been much happier to get a small apartment in Anvil itself, that would have been an instant buy for me.

I could only find the flexing muscles emote; not the "Admire me" one. Where am I missing it?

[Grits]

I’m curious to see the big house. I never could get back on the PTS to check it out once the door was unlocked.


I’m hopeful for the Nord costumes that should be on the way. Otherwise I don’t see September shopping for my crew.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Lol, Khajiit got an email from the ESO folks offering him a free pack of cards for TES: Legends. Yeah, that will never get redeemed.

[mALX]

Oooh, the Clockwork City has an AWESOME beginning quest!!!!

[mALX]

Okay, I've done a couple of the quests in the main questline in Clockwork City = FUN!!!!! And absolutely LOVING getting to do quests with Divayth Fyr again!!!

I'm glad that Pia the beta-squirrel is enjoying testing out the new draft content for us!

tbh I'm tempted to go through the entire questline on the PTS, if possible, but also want to wait so I can do it "for real" once it finally goes live.

I've only gotten as far as the actual city, but I like it so far, and I wonder whether what we're dealing with are shadows or Shadows. The...mechanics so far don't seem to line up with Shadows, so it's most likely shadows, or what Nocturnal has dominion over. Well, assuming Nocturnal is involved at all but then, come on, it's a little obvious.

(People have claimed that Shadows are also in Nocturnal's domain and Shadow Magic being Daedric Magic, which IMO is ridiculous since dominion over the multiverse would make her obscenely powerful)

Also, I can only assume the new writ delivery system works because my attempt at doing them with Fjotreid ended with constant crashes as I approached the turn-in location in Vvardenfell. (Also Provisioning is currently bugged lmao)

Some stuff about the new crown crates. Free crates can be earned by logging in every day between Friday the 22nd (tomorrow) and Sunday the 24th of September and defeating a monster or minion (not 100% sure what that means. Just any enemy?).

Yay!!! Halloween stuff!! I guess killing a monster or minion could mean zombies or maybe daedra?

[Acadian]

Oh cool, hazmick! Thanks for sharing. I'm betting the 'kill a monster' requirement is simply to dissuade token log ins - the intent, I should think, is to log in and actually play some. While I would never buy a crown crate for Buffy, she absolutely loves free ones! Looks like perfect attendance = 3 free crates (22, 23, 24 Sep) and will be awarded on the 27th. Woot!

The current skeletal and other stuff in the crates/crown store don't do anything for me. I guess that is good for saving crowns.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Kind of bad that they are only offering 3 crates as compared to five last time, but Khajiit supposes he shouldn't look a gift [skeleton] horse in the mouth!

Ooh, interesting thoughts on those shadows!

I also don't want to burn myself out by doing it all before having to do it on the real server; so I skipped the fore-running quest that gives you the "see into the future" collectible; wouldn't do me much good to have that on the PTS anyway. I did start the main quest though. So far I'm impressed with the quests, the enemies, and the look and feel of the Clockwork City. It feels and looks like an alternate universe type place, they did that really well.

I won't be buying the "clockwork-style" house over there though; even though the view from the balcony was spectacular! I was more tempted by the new Wrothgar house coming out! That place was Awesome! (but I still won't be getting it). Also loved the new Target Practice Dummy = now I'm torn between that lower level centurian one and the new gladiator one as my favorite!

I got the Transmute Table up at the Guild Hall on the PTS, it is at the top of Buffy's Tower. I also set up a bunch of (plain) tables just to count out what I need to do/remove to make room for all the 38 crafting sets (counting Clockwork City as the last three sets since Monkey has the Imperial City tables). I have all 114 tables in plus the Transmute one; and with all the Mundus stones there is/will be still room for 18 more items!

So it def can be done, and still keep the feel of our courtyard and gathering spot by the water.. WOO HOO, I do love that PTS server for figuring out decorating issues if nothing else, lol.

WOO HOO! Octoberfest/Halloween/Witches Festival/Harvest Festival! Will a Dolman do? I'm all set to get my free crates! It doesn't say anywhere whether that is account wide or character wide...

*mALX starts warming up characters and creates some extras for the festival*


*PS = knowing my luck, I'll finally earn a mount in a crate, urgh. A skelie mount! graaaah.

Thanks for posting this, Hazmick!

This is just what Khajiit needed to get interested in ESO again! So pumped for the Witches Festival and then we should have the New Life right behind it!

The definition of monster/minion for the purposes of earning crown crates this weekend has been provided by Gina Bruno - one of the Zen devs:

'A monster, in this case, is any enemy that's not another player character.'

So, yes, mudcrab hunting is good to go!

So log on, kill whatever's near, g2g. Got it! Should we do an impromptu guild meet up to celebrate this?

Oh nice, I was wondering when ESO would do login rewards like these that aren't hireling mails. Even if it tends to happen anyways on some days, I just gotta make sure to kill something.

[Acadian]

A day without killing something is like a day without sunshine.

Mira is going to kill a wide variety of things. Just in case.
