Elder Scrolls Online’s Dragon Bones DLC and update 17 are live – and the new outfit system is not cheap

Oh, nice.
Elder Scrolls Online’s paid Dragon Bones DLC and free update 17 are finally fully launched on PC. While technically the update rollout was yesterday, the EU and NA servers were up and down throughout the afternoon after an extra-long maintenance and an emergency downtime to fix a fairly major experience exploit/bug. Multiple storage bugs are also being reported on Reddit, so heads-up there.

The headline feature of update 17 itself is the new outfit system, but players are reporting it’s expensive to access indeed: You’re looking at 1500 crowns (roughly $15) for an extra outfit slot, and yes, that’s per character, though you do get one freebie per toon. Altering that outfit will cost you another 400 crowns (though you can also buy those with in-game gold). Incidentally, subbing to the game nets you 1500 crowns every month, but it’d take you a long time to deck out alts that way.

“The Dragon Bones DLC Game Pack includes two new dungeons – Scalecaller Peak and Fang Lair — available in both normal and veteran modes. Players are also rewarded with new items and monster sets, collectibles, and achievements, as well as a Renegade Dragon Priest mask, just for entering one of the dungeons. The Dragon Bones DLC Game Pack is free for ESO Plus members, and available for purchase from the Crown Store for non-members. The free-for-everyone Update 17 is being released simultaneously with Dragon Bones. The update includes a revamped outfit system, two new battlegrounds, a highly anticipated home storage system, and additional gameplay features such as level up and skill advisors and various strategical improvements to combat. The additions and improvements included in Update 17 are available free of charge for all players.”
