August 2026 Crown Store Highlights
The Game-Changer: War Party Timber Mammoth
Available: August 6 – September 3
This is the Crown Store's star attraction—the first-ever four-person mount in ESO history! The War Party Timber Mammoth allows one driver and up to three passengers, making it perfect for:
PvP sieges: Roll up to a keep with a full squad on one mount
AP trains: Move your group efficiently across Cyrodiil

This mount is a monumental addition to the game, and early feedback suggests it will be incredibly fun for group content.

Mask Farm Guide: Making Gold Without Spending Crowns
Whenever an Arms Pack appears in the Crown Store, the corresponding dungeon's monster mask style page becomes farmable on veteran difficulty. These pages can sell for significant gold. Here's this month's mask farm schedule:
Week 1: Grothdarr Arms Pack (Aug 20 – Sep 3)
Aspect | Detail |
Mask Drop | Vet Vaults of Madness (Mad Architect) |
Shoulder | Gerilon the Redbeard (50 Undaunted Keys) or Mystery Coffer (1 key) |
Drop Boost | Achievement: New Mayor of Crazy Town (Hard Mode) |
Difficulty | Moderate – Great for players new to veteran dungeons |
Gold Potential | Medium – Vaults isn't too hard, so supply is decent |
Week 2: Earthgore Arms Pack (Aug 24 – Sep 8)
Aspect | Detail |
Mask Drop | Vet Bloodroot Forge (Earthgore Amalgam) |
Shoulder | Urgarlag Chiefbane (50 Keys) or Mystery Coffer (1 key) |
Drop Boost | Achievement: Temper Tantrum (Hard Mode) |
Difficulty | Moderate-Hard – More challenging than Vaults |
Gold Potential | Medium-High – Earthgore is still a good healer set |
Bonus: Earthgore is still useful for healers in some situations, making these pages extra valuable for those who actually want the set.
Week 3: Slimecraw Arms Pack (Aug 31 – Sep 14)
Aspect | Detail |
Mask Drop | Vet Wayrest Sewers I (Alan Pelagius) |
Shoulder | Maj Al-Ragath (50 Keys) or Mystery Coffer (1 key) |
Drop Boost | Achievement: Down the Gutter (Hard Mode) |
Difficulty | Easy – Perfect for newcomers to veteran content |
Gold Potential | Lower – Easy dungeon means more supply |
Important: Slimecraw is a staple DPS monster set used with the mythic item in many meta builds. Even if you don't sell the pages, this is a great time to fill out your sticker book.

Pro Tips for Crown Store Shopping
1. Check Your Golden Pursuits First
Before spending Crowns on crates, complete the Golden Pursuits campaign to earn 20 free crates. You might get what you want without spending anything!
2. Farm Masks Before Buying Arms Packs
Each Arms Pack costs Crowns, but you can farm the style pages for free. Run the veteran dungeon during its availability window and sell duplicates for gold.
3. Prioritize Limited-Time Items
Items like the War Party Mammoth are brand-new and may not return for a long time (if ever). If it's on your wishlist, grab it while you can.
4. Consider Crown Gems
If you're opening crates, save your Crown Gems for specific items rather than gambling on additional crates. You can purchase exactly what you want from the crate's collection.
5. House Guests and Furnishings
These are permanent additions to your account but often rotate out for months at a time. If you're into housing, don't sleep on the Druid Ravana or Druid Gathering pack.
What's Most Exciting This Month?
Based on community reaction, the War Party Timber Mammoth is the standout. A four-person mount is unprecedented in ESO and opens up new possibilities for group play, especially in PvP.
The Diamond Anniversary Crate return is also highly anticipated, as these are widely considered some of the best crates ever released. If you're after specific rewards without the gamble, you can find The Elder Scrolls Online Items for sale on trusted platforms like MMOEXP—a great option for securing exactly what you want from these limited-time crates while saving your Crowns for future purchases.
