What Are Elder Scrolls Online Crowns?

Crowns are the premium in-game currency in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). Players use Crowns to purchase a variety of optional items, upgrades, and services through the Crown Store, which is accessible within the game. Crowns can be acquired either by purchasing them with real money or through an active ESO Plus subscription, which grants a monthly allowance of Crowns.

What Can You Buy with Crowns in ESO?

Cosmetic Items: This includes costumes, mounts, pets, hairstyles, skins, and tattoos that allow you to customize your character’s appearance without affecting gameplay.

Convenience Items: Players can purchase experience scrolls, potions, and soul gems, as well as crafting materials and inventory expansions to help with gameplay.

DLC and Expansions: Crowns can be used to unlock DLC content, which includes new quests, zones, dungeons, and storylines. Players can buy expansions like Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, or Orsinium.

Housing and Furnishings: The Crown Store offers homes and furnishings to customize your in-game residence. Some exclusive houses can only be bought with Crowns.

Services: Players can purchase character-related services like race and appearance changes, name changes, or additional character slots.

Crown Crates: Crown Crates are loot boxes that can be purchased with Crowns, offering a chance to unlock rare or exclusive items such as mounts, pets, or consumables.

How to Get Crowns:

Purchase with Real Money: Crowns can be bought directly from the in-game store, the ESO website, or BuyXP.com. The more Crowns you purchase at once, the better the value.

ESO Plus Membership: This premium subscription service provides players with a monthly allotment of Crowns as one of its perks. Subscribers receive a set number of Crowns every month, depending on their subscription plan.

Crowns are a key aspect of The Elder Scrolls Online economy for players who want to access exclusive cosmetic items, upgrade options, or additional content without affecting the core gameplay balance.
