ESO Update 49 Lets Players Buy Crown Store Mounts With Gold
The Elder Scrolls Online Update 49 introduces a major quality-of-life change for mount collectors. For the first time, Zenimax is allowing players to purchase previously Crown Store–exclusive mounts directly from stablemasters using in-game gold. This update brings back 16 returning mounts and adds one brand-new mount, giving players more cosmetic options without spending real money.
This article highlights these mounts in a showcase video, revealing where to buy them and how much gold each one costs. The mounts are spread across Tamriel, encouraging players to explore different regions to complete their collections.
The most eye-catching addition is the Ebon Dwarven Horse, priced at 400,000 gold and available in Clockwork City. This mechanical mount features detailed animations and metallic sound effects, making it the standout reward of Update 49. While expensive, it represents the kind of premium cosmetic that players can now earn purely through gameplay.
Several fan-favorite feline mounts are also returning. The Highland Spotted Lynx (100,000 gold), Senche-Cougar (50,000 gold), Noble Riverhold Senche-Lion (50,000 gold), and the massive Spotted Duneracer Senche-raht (200,000 gold) offer a wide range of styles, from elegant to intimidating. Another standout is the Sapiarchic Senche-Serval, known for its oversized ears and sleek design.
Players looking for unique or atmospheric mounts can pick up the Ja’zennji Siir Fox (50,000 gold) with its glowing orb animation, the Shadowghost Guar (50,000 gold), or the Frostborn Durzog Mangler (200,000 gold), which features striking visuals and aggressive sound effects.
More traditional options are also available, including the Snow Bear, Bleakrock Snowdog, Yorgrim River Ram, Faunfrolic Great Elk, and even the Hammerfell Camel, which includes a fun spitting animation.
Overall, Update 49 is a positive step for ESO. By offering Crown Store mounts for gold, Zenimax gives players meaningful long-term goals and greater freedom to customize their experience. The Ebon Dwarven Horse sets a strong example of what future updates could bring, and many players hope this approach continues going forward.
