Alright, let’s talk about these ESO Dwarven Crates. So, I’ve been playing The Elder Scrolls Online for a while now, and I got really into collecting stuff in the game. It’s kinda like a hobby within the game, you know? Anyway, I heard about these Dwarven Crates that sometimes show up in the Crown Store. They’re like, these boxes you can buy, and they’ve got random cool stuff inside, all themed around Dwarven designs.
First off, I had to figure out when these crates would be available. It’s not like they’re always there. From what I gathered from some online forums, it seems they pop up every three years or so. Gotta be patient with these things. I marked my calendar and waited for the next release.

When the time finally came, I jumped into the Crown Store, bought some crates and started opening them. Each crate has a bunch of random items. Some are just regular things like potions and experience scrolls, but then there are these rare items, like special costumes, pets, or mounts. All looking super cool with that Dwarven machinery style.
I also heard from some players that certain places in the game, like Bthar-zel and Nchuand-zel, are great for finding Dwemer-themed stuff. Apparently, if you do the main quest, you unlock even more of these areas. So I went on a bit of an adventure, exploring these places. Not just for the crate items, but also because you can find other cool things there, like rare furnishing plans or Dwemer motifs. It’s like killing two birds with one stone – you get to progress in the game and collect cool stuff at the same time.
I remember seeing a post online where someone mentioned an achievement related to Dwemer stuff. So, I started grinding for that too. It’s a fun way to keep things interesting in the game, and it feels good to make progress on these achievements.
There’s also this thing called Basalt-Blooded Warrior set. I don’t have the full set yet, but from what I know, it gives you bonuses when you have multiple pieces. Like, 2 items add to your Magicka recovery, 3 items give you more health, and so on. It’s pretty neat, and I’m trying to collect the whole set because why not, right?
Here is what I found in one of my best crates:
- A Dwarven Spider Pet. It’s so cool, it’s like a little mechanical spider that follows you around.
- The Basalt-Blooded Warrior chest piece. Still need more pieces to get the full effect, but it’s a start.
- A bunch of experience scrolls. Always useful when you’re trying to level up fast.
- Some poisons and potions. They come in handy during battles.
- A few motif chapters. These let you learn new crafting styles.
Tips for New Collectors
If you’re new to this, here’s what I’ve learned: Keep an eye on the Crown Store for when the Dwarven Crates are available. Explore places like Bthar-zel and Nchuand-zel for extra goodies. And don’t forget about the achievements and sets like Basalt-Blooded Warrior – they add an extra layer of fun to the game. Happy hunting in Tamriel!
So yeah, that’s my experience with the ESO Dwarven Crates. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m still on the lookout for more cool stuff to add to my collection. Hope this was helpful for anyone else interested in getting into this part of the game. Catch you all in Tamriel!
