Glide and Gallop: ESO's December 2023 Crown Store Mounts and Pets Revealed

Some time ago, ZeniMax, the developer of Elder Scrolls Online, announced that this game, which has been released for more than ten years, will introduce a very big change in 2025, that is, abandoning the previous Chapters and turning to a Seasonal System that is updated every 3-6 months, and no longer yearly expansions. As soon as this news came out, ESO immediately became the focus of discussion among players. Some loyal players of this game find it difficult to accept such frequent updates to the game content, thinking that this will make the entire game with a very deep foundation become neither fish nor fowl. Other players who strive to try new things strongly support this improvement, because it will add a lot of theme story content, activities, store items and dungeons to ESO, and will also give players more fresh game experience. But in fact, this controversial change will greatly revitalize this long-standing massively multiplayer online role-playing game, because it will not only give players who originally explored it a high-quality gaming experience, but also make some players who have never tried Elder Scrolls series of games interested in it and even start exploring it. For Original Players As just introduced, after Elder Scrolls Online is updated with the Seasonal System, you will have more new gaming experiences every 3-6 months, such as the currently confirmed Cyrodiil and some zones in the base game, which will provide you with some new tasks and activities, so that you can farm ESO Gold or items in the fresh game content. In addition, each new content added is permanent, and you don’t have to worry about all the tasks, stories and new areas being deleted after the season ends when exploring in games like Diablo 4. So even if you unfortunately miss one season, you will not miss all the new content in that season. Some players may worry that all the new content promised by the developers will not be released all at once in the latest update, so that players may need to spend more time waiting for the next seasonal game content. This is actually completely unnecessary, because ZeniMax has publicly stated that a large new continent will be added to ESO intermittently, so we can fully expect this very courageous developer to bring a new area with high quality for players to explore in the following year. In Seasonal System that ESO will use this year, you will not only see the addition of new game content but also the return of some familiar characters, such as Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Fighters Guild and other organizations, as well as their more content related to the existing storyline. What’s more, the game tools and functions that the original ESO players have always criticized have also been solved to a certain extent with the help of Seasonal System, such as the performance issues of the guilds and Cyrodiil that have been requested to be added. At this stage, Elder Scrolls Online Direct has been confirmed to start on April 10, so these detailed changes and the game content in Season 1 may not be revealed until then. For New Players In fact, in the community of this massively multiplayer online role-playing game, you can often see some players who have never tried this series of games expressing their interest in exploring it, but they were usually discouraged by the huge amount of game content in this game before. But with the new Seasonal System, these new players will have an easier time exploring ESO, because the shorter update content will allow players to only focus on the new content added in this season, instead of having to explore the current updated chapter and all the game content added before, which is a huge workload. More importantly, after more than ten years of refinement, Elder Scrolls Online has become a very mature game. It will listen to players’ opinions and suggestions in a timely manner and make corrections to ensure that its player base will not be lost. For example, the performance of PVP that players have been calling for has been modified recently, as well as the wrong achievements such as Ascending Tide Scout, etc. So you can have a very comfortable game experience of farming ESO Gold or grinding experience points in it, because it is tailor made for players. Additionally, Elder Scrolls Online in 2025 will have a better onboarding system and some guidance, allowing these new players to dive into this fantastic MMO after their first try, something that many long-standing MMOs have not realized. In general, Seasonal System introduced by Elder Scrolls Online in 2025 may make some long-time players uncomfortable, but this is also a very correct change made by this old game to adapt to the current game market. We can indeed look forward to whether the addition of this system will make the entire game more vibrant. I wish you a happy game!

To celebrate Elder Scrolls Online’s 10th anniversary, the developers are launching a brand new event, Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event, which is also the first event available after entering 2025. The event has started at 10 am EST on January 23, 2025, and will last until February 4, 2025 at 10 am EST. During the event, it will be held in all areas of Tamriel! You don’t need to own any specific Chapters or DLC to participate in the event, but there are some returning collectibles that you can only get from the Impresario’s Assistant in certain DLC areas. Please come with us and enter this new event! Event Boosts In addition to the usual reward boxes, Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event offers players some great boosts, including a higher chance to get Antiquity Leads, Furnishings, and other valuables by digging in Treasure Maps. Additionally, fishing drops are carefully curated. As long as you fish the right type of hole in the right area, you’re guaranteed to get a previously uncollected Trophy Fish to complete your unfinished achievement. Finally, there’s a 100% XP boost that’s automatically applied throughout the event and can be stacked with other XP boosts. Reward Boxes Now, let’s get to those reward boxes! You can get reward boxes by killing all of the different boss monsters found throughout Tamriel. On land, there’s a chance that event boxes will drop from defeating World Bosses, Delve Bosses, Public Dungeon Bosses, and completing Incursions. Note, however, that Dolmens’ drops are from bosses, so you’ll need to be in the top 12 in terms of damage to get them, so areas like Alik’r Desert are not recommended. There’s also a cooldown between box drops from each character, so keep that in mind if you’re farming bosses back-to-back. If you’re looking for the fastest way to farm, you’ll most likely want to turn to other characters and switch between them as they take on different public dungeon bosses. For more challenging content, the final bosses in Trials, Dungeons, Arenas, and Tho’at Replicanum in the Infinite Archive all drop event boxes. But again, box drops only come from final bosses. The first box you get each day will be a gold box, which you’ll get when you open it, giving you the new, very stylish Lion Guard Captain Outfit Style Pages. In addition to your gold box, you’ll also get 3 Event Tickets (39 total during the event). You can only claim the gold box and tickets once per account per day, and the next drop of the day will be a purple box. Purple boxes mostly only contain crafting materials, but they also have a slight chance to drop ESO Gold and other items, in addition to new Style Pages. However, these purple boxes also have a chance to drop random Style Pages from the previous expansion celebration. Event Merchants Impresario’s Assistant During the event, Impresario’s Assistant will also carry these Style Pages, as well as a few other returning collectibles, but his inventory will depend on the zone you’re in when you talk to him. Morrowind: Doctrine Ordinator Style Pages, Slag Town Diver skin, Memento, and fragments from Fabricant Pet. Summerset: Evergloam Champion Style and Snowhawk Mage Outfit Style Pages, Wooden Grave-Stake Memento fragments, and Gloam Gryphon Fledgeling Pet. Northern Elsweyr: Claw-Dance Acolyte Style and Ja’zennji Siir Outfit Style Pages. Western Skyrim: Saarthal Scholar Style and Sovngarde Stalwart Style. High Isle: Oaken Order Outfit Style. Necrom: Apocrypha Expedition Outfit Style. Blackwood: Y’ffre’s Fallen-Wood Style, and pieces for a pet. In all locations, Impresario’s Assistant will also carry fragments of 2 Morphing Pets from years past, as well as 2 really awesome Morphs, Hourglass, which lets you change the time inside a house when placed, and Doomchar Plateau! Indrik Vendor Indrik Vendor will have 2 returning Indrik Morphs and fragments for 2 pets. But as if her assistants didn’t already have so much to spend money on. Impresario only carries the new Lion Guard Captain Outfit Style Pages, 3 fragments of this year’s new Morphing Pets, and the first Morphing fragments for the new Rune Extraction animation. If you were a player during last year’s Anniversary Event, you may remember the replicas she carried. Thankfully, this year, their drop rates can be increased based on other achievements you may have unlocked, but the Impresario will also be selling them for 10 tickets each. So if you’re sad about not unlocking these collectibles last year, don’t automatically jump to spending your tickets. Remember that these Style Pages are bound! If you get the corresponding replicas, their chances of dropping will increase again as you explore Tamriel. So if you’re a bit strapped for Event Tickets, give this a try. However, you can also try participating in the occasional giveaways in iGMeet Discord, where you may be able to score some of the collectibles you’ve been looking for! That’s everything you need to know about ESO Pan-Tamriel Celebration Event 2025! Whether you’re farming for those fishing achievements, treasure map clues, or bosses, hopefully everyone can enjoy such a lucrative event!

The much-anticipated Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road finally released today on PC and Mac! In the new Chapter, you’ll have more opportunities to get a new free manor and decorate it. But many first-time Tamriel Homeowners are still wondering: what can a house do, exactly? There are many benefits to owning a house, but the most obvious use is to decorate it! If you already love customizing items in RPGs, then you’ll have a ton of fun with Housing system. In this guide, we’ll go over where to get furniture, as well as some decorating tips. Benefits Of Owning A House Before we get started, let’s take a look at the beneficial uses of owning a house. Fast Travel Houses can act as fast travel locations. Any house you own can act as a Wayshrine, which you can travel to for free from anywhere using the world map. You can even choose to spawn inside or outside a house if you just want to get into town quickly. Every house you own, and the furniture you place in it, is shared among all characters on your account, meaning you can own as many houses as you want. Once you own a house, it’s added to your collection, so you can even go to it with a list of houses you’ve collected! Improve Social Interaction There are also a lot of social elements for housing. For those who enjoy the social aspect of the game or are creative, the options are endless, such as building Mazes, Escape Rooms or Puzzles. There are even guilds dedicated to housing, which encourage you through competitions and creativity, and give you the opportunity to earn extra ESO Gold during the decoration process. In order to invite others to your house, make sure you check your permissions and enable certain guilds or friends as guests. Houses are locked by default. Once permissions are unlocked, you can send a direct link to your house via mail or text chat. You can also set a house as your Primary Residence. This way, people with the appropriate permissions can visit the house using your name on the social menu, regardless of your online status. However, please note that you can only have 1 Primary Residence. If you want to decorate one of your houses with a friend, or even hire someone to decorate a house for you, you can enable the decorator rights for certain people. You need to place the furniture, but they can move every piece of furniture. Be careful not to grant full decorator rights to anyone you don’t fully trust. No one can take your furniture, but they can destroy what you’ve built or make it hard to find. If this does happen, or you just can’t find a piece of furniture, you can use Retrieve menu to mark its location and find it, or just put it back in your inventory. Storage Coffers & Chests Available One of the best reasons to have an in-game house is to have a place to place and use Storage Coffers and Storage Chests. There are 4 large chests and 4 small coffers available. Each large chest can hold 60 items, and the small coffer can hold 30 items, which is equivalent to adding 360 inventory slots to your account. These Storage Chests are added to your collection as you unlock them, so all of your characters can use them, and you can place them in multiple houses at the same time. You’ll unlock one coffer from Level Up Advisor after reaching level 18, and the rest can be redeemed with Master Crafting Writ Vouchers, Tel Var in Imperial City, or with Crowns. However, I would recommend using the in-game method. You can name containers to help categorize items. I use 3 chests to store survey maps and label them for quick storage and categorization. These chests, and the items you put in them, are only accessible to you. Crafting Tables You can also place each Crafting Table in your home. Of course, using Master Crafting Writ Vouchers, or mining through Antiquities, is also a good way to get them. You can go a step further and try Attunable Crafting Tables. This can be used at Overland Set crafting locations to add nearby set bonuses to a crafting table and bring them home. This is especially useful if you want to access sets from DLC areas that you can’t normally access. Assuming you have temporary access to High Isle through ESO Plus trial, you can use these Attunable Tables to replicate Order’s Wrath crafting stations, and you can still craft the set bonus after the trial ends. Houseguests Houseguests are collectible furniture that can be placed in all of your homes. Some of these can be obtained from Crown Store, but others can be obtained in-game. Since they are account-wide collectibles, they can be placed in multiple houses at once, and all of your visitors can talk to them. You can place them on a path if you want to make your home feel more lived in. You can even decorate the house with your mounts and pets. Merchants, bankers and deconstruction assistants can also be added to your house for everyone to use. All of these have been Crown items so far, but they are definitely worth getting if you have Crown. How To Get More Furniture? Now that we’ve gone over the useful uses of a house, let’s get back to decorating. Furniture and decorations can come from many places, but as always, there is a Crown option under Purchase tab in Housing Editor. Crown Option If you do use Crown option, it’s important to understand that these items are tied to your account. If you use a Crown to acquire an already decorated house, those furniture items will also be tied. This tab contains over 5000 pieces of furniture in the game. Even if you don’t plan on acquiring anything with a Crown, it can be a useful tool to help you determine exactly what furniture style and items you’re looking for. ESO Plus Benefits Also note that as part of ESO Plus your furniture limits are doubled, but if you fully renovate your house and lose your membership, the items you placed will stay where you left them. However, if you pick up and move an item after your membership ends, you won’t be able to place it again without increasing your furniture limits. As an ESO Plus member, you can expect to get a free piece of furniture in Crown Store every month to add to your collection. Antiquity Furnishings If you have access to Greymoor, Antiquity system is worth upgrading to get mythic items, and you can also mine a lot of wonderful furniture from leads. It’s important to note that furniture obtained through Scrying is bound when picked up, so you can’t sell them to other players. But there’s a lot of cool and sometimes large furniture here. Crafting Furniture You can craft new furniture by acquiring Furniture Plans, and making items yourself using your existing crafting skills and crafting tables. Furniture Plans can be found on chests, desks, backpacks, wardrobes, cabinets, trunks, nightstands, and urns. Different areas can drop different plans. You can also get plans and furniture from daily quests in each area, fishing, or running Infinite Archive. Of course, don’t forget to check Guild Traders. Other players may be selling plans and furniture you didn’t even know existed. While the cooldown for finding Furniture Plans has never been confirmed, the community believes that there is a cooldown window of up to 30 minutes after picking up a purple plan, during which you can’t pick up another one. How To Decorate Your House? Once you enter a house and enter build mode, you can place furniture from your inventory, house storage chests, collection and bank. Lock Position You can lock their position so that they automatically snap to surfaces, or move and place them freely. Link Items With free placement, you can even stack items together to build custom furniture. When you stack furniture on top of each other, it may seem cumbersome to move each item, but you can link their positions together to move them as one. You can choose an item as a parent, such as a table, and then link everything on the table together. Block Off Unfinished Areas You can also block off areas of your house that are not yet finished using wall or rock furnishings. Since small furnishing limits in extensive areas, it is also beneficial to block off areas you don’t want to decorate, so that you can invest the vast majority of your ESO Gold budget in areas you care about. Use Furniture In Different Ways Conversely, you can use stairs and floors to access areas of your house that you wouldn’t normally go to. You can even place items in the scenery around your house if you want to improve your vision. You can also flip furniture to use it in different ways, such as the underside of these Coldharbour rocks with a void effect, or the underside of Morrowind table map. Final Thoughts Houses are one of the most customizable parts of ESO Gold Road. There is no right or wrong way to decorate, and the options are endless. I hope this guide has given you some new house ideas, long-term goals worth working towards, or just helped you see the benefits of using them. Good luck!

Pay attention to the enemy types and their vulnerabilities, and adjust your strategies accordingly. Exploit elemental weaknesses, interrupt powerful spells, and focus on priority targets to overcome your foes swiftly and efficiently. 4.
