Clockwork city worth it?

[nullpo]

So I'm a new player and the event have clockwork city on discount for 1k, which is my starting crown. Is it worth it buying clockwork or is there any future event that may sell better DLC for 1k.

I mainly PvP but one region i did heavily play story wise was clockwork city i really enjoyed the sotha sill (sp?) questline and if I remember right it ties into the next DLC, but i forgot what comes after that.

I also like to frequent the area for crafting. You have the transmute station and all other crafting stations inside one building.

I would get ESO+ for a month to try it.

I personally dont like the area and the World Bosses there are on the more difficult side requiring 4 or more players.

Joining any guild, there will be a guild house or member that has a transmute station you can use.

I enjoyed the story line but rarely visit it now I've played through. I'd agree that it might be worth spending the money and subbing for a month to try the DLCs out. Being able to stick tons of stuff in your unlimited craft bag will help too.

I can't really buy ESO+ since it's a month worth of food for me, which is a lot of investment. Maybe If 2 month later I still enjoy the game (which I hope I am) I'll invest in ESO+.

I'd say it's worth the 1000 crowns for its unique setting (it includes some steampunk and gothic horror vibes, which makes it stand out from the rest of ESO) and interesting story. It also continues the "Daedric War" story arc from the main questline in Morrowind (which then finds its conclusion in Summerset). It's not a lot of content though and as others said, there's little reason to go there once you're finished with the story.

If money is tight, then you could also wait for one of the ESO+ trial weeks. That's usually one week in which everyone gets the benefits from ESO+, which means you could try all the DLCs and make an informed decision of which ones to buy later. These trials happen once or twice a year usually, IIRC.

if you already have 400k gold, search diskord (google it "how to...") for crown sellers.

For NA Server, gold per crown is around 270:1

For EU Server, gold per crown is around 400:1

Note, you cannot push in-game gold or in-game items from one server to the other.

And before it is asked:
Buying Crowns with In-Game Gold is perfectly legit - ZoS knows it happens, and is not against it. It's all "In-Game" exchange. Just be sure to avoid scammers (usually do this through your guilds).

And for the OP - no, clockworth city is not worth anything - it adds a small amount of content and some brutally stupid-long "dailies" just to keep you "in-zone" - Vvardenfell is also part of this Event, so go there since (i think) it is base game now.

Thanks, I guess if the story is good It will worth the 1k crown. Better use it then not using it at all. I also might consider doing the ESO+ trial first before investing for ESO+ then.

I only picked it up because i had extra crowns and I plan on going off sub for a few months.

If money is tight I wouldn't worry about plus. The game doesn't need it, it just makes inventory management easier. Definitely take advantage of the free week though.

damn this game isnt pay to play. its basically demo if you buy base game. play with subscription, thats only solution.

new accounts get some dlc free, but they dont give a ♥♥♥♥ for old players.

[hi]

transmute change is very handy and storyline is good apparently

Wait ESO+ trial to play DLC like dungeon and Clockwork city area. You will have enough time to finish everything. Most of DLC crown price are a joke in this game. It's really expensive for what you get. You will finish Clockwork city in a blink of an eye. But taking it during sales is better than nothing.

Even ESO+ is not worth it. It's really expensive for what you get. Even if you take 12 month of ESO+, you get only 20K crowns. As reminder : Last year chapter is 3500 crown price sell as DLC. DLC who have two years are 2000 crowns. Other little DLC like dungeon and stuff are 1500 crowns. (And even if you put full price at launch in the game, you can't buy chapter with crowns, you need to wait ONE YEAR to get them. Else, you need to buy it on steam for the price of a standalone AAA game. And they don't even upgrade your account with previous chapters)

5500 crowns is about 40$. Zenimax are stealing you in their casino. You need to burn 40$ to get an assistant. This is the price of "comfort".

So if you want to enjoy in-game story content, you need to give to Zenimax 2 or 3 times the price of a standalone game (Even if you already pay the high price). For area who are pretty "Meh ...", players are mostly unsatisfied by the content they get from Greymoor chapter.

That's maybe why nobody play TESO anymore.

still looking for encouragement and reasons to play it?

its a city of metal. everything is metal and steam. even the wildlife is machine.
if you like steampunk and decorative metals you should enjoy this.

I got it because i got that robot skin Factotum and wanted to see what they land was like, wasn't disappointed.
Then i started making and collecting the apostle set feeling like a tech priest.


ESO was cool until they made the change to the assault tree perk rapid maneuver requiring you to actually do pvp.
.
That change ruined ESO for me. everyone uses that skill to help get around the world space
things feel extremely slow without it, and attempting to fight min-maxers is utterly sickening and disgusting.
cancelled my eso sub after that.

TESO's player count is on a steady upward trend lmfao https://steamcharts.com/app/306130#All

Just because YOU don't play the game anymore doesn't mean that "nobody plays anymore". You aren't as important as you seem to think you are.
