Those who pay for the optional ESO Plus subscription from The Elder Scrolls Online will receive, in addition to various benefits, 1,650 crowns per month. One player has accumulated 100,000 crowns through a long break and now asks what to do best with the fortune.
What can you buy with crowns in Elder Scrolls Online? The crown shop and the associated currency were introduced on March 17, 2015, when the MMORPG switched from a subscription model to a pure Buy2Play model.
You can either buy crowns for real money or receive them through the optional ESO Plus subscription. With the currency, you can purchase the following offers in the shop:
- Area and dungeon DLCs, as well as older chapters (Necrom from 2023 costs 3,500 crowns, for example)
- Upgrades for arsenal, mount and character slots, skill lines, assistants, sky shards, storage and riding skills
- Tokens for alliance changes, name changes, character customizations and race changes
- Unlocking classes Arcanist, Warden and Necromancer
- Useful consumables such as scrolls, potions, and buff food
- Land plots and furniture for housing
- Cosmetic goodies like costumes, emotes, colors, custom animations, hairstyles, and much more
- Crafting styles, motif stones and analysis writings for crafting
- Mounts and companions
- Diverse types of crown crates that can contain random items
In short: Those who wish can invest the 100,000 crowns into the Elder Scrolls Online shop in no time.
How much is 100,000 crowns worth? If you spoil yourself with a year of ESO Plus, you will receive 19,800 crowns. Cost: 124.99 euros. With five years of ESO Plus, you can get quite close to 100,000 crowns. This would cost you 624.95 euros.
“I will bear this burden – give it to me”
What tips are coming from the community? Nearly 625 euros is a considerable amount of money for many people. Therefore, it is not surprising that Embarrassed-Age1116 does not want to waste the 100,000 crowns on nonsense. So, he asks on reddit for sensible investment options.
The classic comes from nevermore911 and has, of course, received the most upvotes: “I will bear this burden. Give it to me.” But there are also serious advice that follows.
- AdorableAuroraBull advises: “Support like a banker, trader, scavenger, armor advisor, if you don’t have them. Inventory pets. Houses that cannot be bought with gold. Don’t waste crowns on things that can be bought/unlocked with gold, that’s just a rip-off.”
- Adghar adds what shouldn’t be purchased: transformation into vampire or werewolf, consumables, skill respec scrolls.
- Stuntman06 also has a tip for everyone playing multiple characters: “If you have alts, you can use the crowns to buy skill lines that are annoying to get through quests, such as from the Mages Guild and the Psijic Order. If you don’t like PvP, you can also secure the alliance skill lines this way.”
Also a good tip: Don’t spend everything at once! After the introduction of the writing system, for example, it could be good that developers might include cosmetic customization options for skills in the in-game shop in the coming years.
