Bethesda has taken down plenty of items from the in-game Crown Store during The Elder Scrolls Online’s lifespan. As such, items which were themed around a particular DLC or event are often phased out for newer items. As a result, those phased out items become impossible to acquire in many cases. However, in a rare instance, Bethesda is returning several old items to the Elder Scrolls Online store for a limited time. Namely, items associated with the Wild Hunt.
It’s what you have all been waiting for…

Wild Hunt Items Return to The Elder Scrolls Online Crown Store
Bethesda announced the return to the store earlier today via a Tweet on the official Elder Scrolls Online Twitter account. The Wild Hunt is an event which takes place in Valenwood, and it was also the theme of 2017’s second quarter in The Elder Scrolls Online. During that period, players could buy “Wild Hunt Crates,” filled with a random assortment of Wild Hunt-themed items. The crates made a brief return to the game for four days in December of 2017. However, they have been unavailable until now. It’s unknown how long Bethesda plans to keep the Crates available in the store, but if the last instance is anything to go on, players should perhaps act quickly. Players can purchase either 4 Wild Hunt Crates for 1,500 Crowns, or 15 Crates for 5,000 Crowns. The Crates can contain a wide assortment of items. However, many of the items are themed around Valenwood or the Wild Hunt specifically. The Crates’ Apex Rewards are six “Wild Hunt” animals which serve either as mounts; a bear, a camel, a guar, a horse, a senche, and a wolf.
Interestingly, Bethesda is actually offering one of those Apex Rewards for sale directly. In addition to the two Crate bundles, the company has added the Wild Hunt Senche mount to the Elder Scrolls Online store as a standalone purchase. It will cost players 400 Crown Gems; “The Wild Hunt unravels the shapes Y’ffre established for creatures in the Dawn Era,” explains the senche’s description; “transforming them into monstrous but vigorous hybrid beasts. Among these, both beautiful and abhorrent, is the Wild Hunt Senche-Mount.”
