Top Picks
Item | Cost | Why It's Worth It |
Rakkhat's Voidmantle Lead | 5,000 Fortunes | Trial lead for a heavy attack Mythic; saves you from farming Maw of Lorkhaj's final boss |
Heroism Script | 10,000/2,000 Fortunes | One of the most sought-after buffs—great for ultimate generation |
Companion Jewelry | 5,000 Fortunes | Solid gamble; every companion needs jewelry regardless of role |
Style Pages & Furnishings
Kra'gh Mask (Bound Style Page) – 15,000 Fortunes. A snaky, monster-themed helm that's normally 400,000+ gold on PC. Decent value .
Hlaalu Sideboard, Scholar's – 2,000 Fortunes
Necrom Bench, Elegant – 2,000 Fortunes
Khajiit Vessel, Amber – 2,000 Fortunes
Leads & Fragments
Sporecrafter's Purse – 5,000 Fortunes. Lead for the Spore Savant Face Markings; farmable from Necrom daily coffers if you prefer .
Fragment of the Storm – 1,000 Fortunes. Skill style fragment for Force Shock; drops from Tempest Island's final boss .
Erroneous Archive Map – 3,000 Fortunes. Body marks collectible.
Cartographer's Boots Fragment – 1,000 Fortunes. One of seven pieces for the Master Field Cartographer costume.
Affix & Focus Scripts
Affix Scripts (10,000 or 2,000 Fortunes) :
Force – Minor Force buff. Decent, but you can get similar benefits from the Psijic skill line with additional bonuses.
Heroism – Highly recommended. Ultimate generation is always valuable in PvE and PvP.
Evasion – Useful for mitigating area-of-effect damage.
Focus Scripts (15,000 or 3,000 Fortunes):
Mitigation – Damage reduction. Impactful for tankier builds.
Cavalier's Charge – Increases weapon/spell damage by up to 450 based on movement speed; also boosts Trample ability.
Treasure Map
Hew's Bane Treasure Map – 2,000 Fortunes. A decent skip unless you're farming specific sets .
Tel Var Merchants (Imperial City)
The weekly Tel Var merchant at your alliance base in the Imperial City Sewers offers these items :
Mythic Leads
Lead | Cost | Source Alternative |
Belharza's Band | 25,000 Tel Var | Falkreath Hold treasure chests |
Dov-rha Sabaton Poleyn | 25,000 Tel Var | Dungeon trash mobs |
Belharza's Band: Increases light attack damage by 900. Consecutive melee light attacks build stacks of Belharza's Temper; at five stacks, deal physical damage and stun enemies with a Minotaur projectile. Tested well on ganking builds but didn't reach meta tier.
Dov-rha Sabatons: Gain stacks of Draconic Scales (660 armor each, up to 20 stacks) while sprinting. Upon stopping, deal damage in an 8-meter shockwave and gain a damage shield. Fun shenanigans, but requires a "sprint minigame" before engaging enemies .
Skill Styles
Fragment of the Vampire Lord – 50,000 Tel Var. Changes your Mist Form to violet purple. Drops from Kyne's Aegis final boss .
Scribing Scripts
Available from the Tel Var merchant:
Script | Cost |
Berserk | 10,000 Tel Var |
Protection | 10,000 Tel Var |
Taunt | 15,000 Tel Var |
Anchorite's Cruelty | 20,000 Tel Var |
Anchorite's Cruelty consumes a soul gem to deal Oblivion damage—a popular PvP script that remains strong despite some balancing changes .
Set Pieces & Treasure Maps
The Tel Var merchant also sells:
Clockwork City Treasure Map – 6,000 Tel Var. Low value; sets from this zone are no longer meta .
Rings from the Sithis' Touch and Kvatch Gladiator sets
Golden Vendor (Cyrodiil)
The Golden Vendor, Adhazabi Aba-daro, appears on weekends (Friday 00:00 UTC to Monday 12:00 UTC) at each alliance's Cyrodiil gate . She sells legendary jewelry and monster set pieces for gold or Alliance Points.
Jewelry:
Set | Type | Cost |
Auroran's Necklace | Arcane Necklace | 200,000 gold / 375,000 AP |
Necklace of the Sun | Arcane Necklace | 125,000 gold / 225,000 AP |
Z'en's Necklace | Arcane Necklace | 200,000 gold / 375,000 AP |
Prisoner's Necklace | Arcane Necklace | 125,000 gold / 225,000 AP |
Monster Set Shoulders:
Set | Cost |
Orpheon the Tactician | 100,000 gold / 200,000 AP |
Swarm Mother | 100,000 gold / 200,000 AP |
What to Buy This Week
Must-Buy
Rakkhat's Voidmantle Lead (Infinite Archive – 5,000 Fortunes) – Avoid farming Maw of Lorkhaj.
Heroism Script (Infinite Archive – 10,000/2,000 Fortunes) – Ultimate generation is universally valuable.
Worth Considering
Kra'gh Mask (15,000 Fortunes) – Saves ~400,000 gold; solid value if you like the look.
Mitigation Script – Damage reduction is always useful.
Companion Jewelry (5,000 Fortunes) – Good gamble for any build.
Skip
Hew's Bane Treasure Map – Low value; heists aren't profitable anymore.
Clockwork City Treasure Map – Zone sets are outdated.
Sithis' Touch / Kvatch Gladiator rings – Reactive/conditional sets aren't competitive compared to proactive alternatives.
Final Thoughts
The Infinite Archive vendor offers the strongest value this week, particularly the Voidmantle trial lead and Heroism script. The Tel Var merchant's mythics—Belharza's Band and Dov-rha Sabatons—are fun but niche, while the Golden Vendor's sets are situational at best. If you're short on currency and don't have time to grind, you can always find ESO Items for sale at trusted platforms like MMOEXP, which offer fast and reliable delivery to help you grab these limited-time offers before they rotate.
Pro Tip: If you have multiple characters, grab the scripts and leads on your main. As a rule of thumb, if you're uncertain about an item, check whether its alternative source is something you'd realistically farm—if not, buying it might be worth the currency.
