Halloween is approaching, and various games have already started their Halloween events, including Elder Scrolls Online. This Friday's update also features updated items for Luxury Furnisher and Golden Vendor.
Both vendors appear for a limited time, and the items they sell have some practical value. If you have enough gold in your wallet, you might want to check out what they have in the 43rd week, 2025.
Luxury Furnisher
Luxury Furnisher is located at Cicero's Food & General Goods in Coldharbour. Note that he only appears on weekends. Last week, he offered statues, while this week he's offering darker items like skeletons and witch totems.
Note that the items he sells are unbound, so you can sell them to other players, provided they don't depreciate in value. Let's take a look at some interesting items.
- Bone Sculpture, Circular: 3,000 Gold. Perfect for room decoration if you are a bone and skull enthusiast.
- Crow Totem, Gruesome: 4,000 Gold, value decreases over time.
- Reach Totem, Gathered Staves: 2,000 Gold, new item, but a bit ugly.
- Reach Totem, Twig Crescent: 3,000 Gold, somewhat ugly furniture, may depreciate.
- Reach Totem, Twig Raven: 3,000 Gold, decent decoration, can appreciate in value.
- Tree, Treehenge Green Lady: 50,000 Gold, large and cool, but requires a lot of gold.
- Warning Totem, Skulls: 2,500 Gold, also somewhat ugly furniture, may depreciate.
- Witch's Torch, Wretched: 5,000 Gold, looks nice, but there are many similar shiny items in the game.
- Witch's Totem, Bog: 50,000 Gold, although less valuable than before, it creates a green miasma effect and is a rather creative piece of furniture.
- Witch's Tree, Captive: 35,000 Gold, value has decreased slightly, but the fluctuation is minimal.
- Witch's Tree, Charred: 5,000 Gold, value fluctuation is minimal.
Golden Vendor
Golden Vendor sells the BIS set, but requires significantly more Elder Scrolls Online gold than Luxury Furnisher. Golden Vendor is located at Western Elsweyr Gate and will disappear on October 27th.
Crafty Alfiq (125,000 Gold)
Source: Northern Elsweyr
Set Benefits:
- (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
- (3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
- (4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
- (5 items) Adds 2550 Maximum Magicka
Provides a considerable amount of Magicka, making it an excellent PvP set in metas dominated by Max Stat builds. However, in the current meta, Max Stat builds are becoming less popular, with Max Crit and high-burst builds becoming the mainstream. Furthermore, the related skills have been nerfed, causing its status to decline. However, it remains a top-tier set in suitable builds, though its utility has been reduced in the current meta.
Frozen Watcher (200,000 Gold)
Source: Depths of Malatar Dungeon Set
Set Benefits:
- (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
- (3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
- (4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
- (5 items) Summon a blizzard around you while you are Bracing, inflicting Frost Damage (damage scaled with your maximum health)
This armor set is quite cool, but the damage isn't great. The health stacking mechanic doesn't mesh well with other mechanics, and Chilled Status Effect removal isn't very practical. Overall, it's a bit flashy and lacks practicality.
Mighty Glacier (200,000 Gold)
Source: Frostvault Dungeon Set
Set Benefits:
- (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
- (3 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
- (4 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery, Adds 129 Magicka Recovery
- (5 items) When you use an immobilize or root skill, grants you and your allies a Major Resolve buff, increasing resistances.
The core drawback of this set is that Major Resolve buff is a named buff that doesn't stack, making it easy for players to gain it from their own abilities or team support, thus overriding the set's benefits and wasting them.
Senchal Defender (125,000 Gold)
Source: Southern Elsweyr
Set Benefits:
- (2 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Stamina
- (3 items) Adds 1206 Maximum Health
- (4 items) Adds 1096 Maximum Magicka
- (5 items) Builds stacks through non-heavy attacks, then restores a significant amount of mana and stamina with a Fully Charged Heavy Attack.
Senchal Defender is suitable for resource-intensive PvE tanks or PvP players who need to restore both mana and stamina. It's not a mainstream (non-meta) item in the current meta, as players have more alternative resource recovery methods, such as potions and other set items.
Balorgh (100,000 Gold)
Source: March of Sacrifices Monster Set
Set Benefits:
- (1 item) Increases weapon and spell damage by 129.
- (2 items) After using the ultimate ability, gain significant weapon and spell damage and physical/spell penetration for 12 seconds.
This monster set is widely considered the BIS for PvP. Because Ultimate abilities are frequently used in PvP, its effects are fully utilized, resulting in high burst damage and easy builds for both beginners and veterans.
Black Gem Monstrosity (100,000 Gold)
Source: Monster Set from Black Gem Foundry event
Set Benefits:
- (1 item) Adds 1487 Offensive Penetration
- (2 items) After using Soul Magic ability in combat, your next light or heavy attack launches a fragment, dealing magic damage based on the target's maximum health.
Black Gem Monstrosity is a gank set, suitable for playstyles that seek instantaneous bursts. It can be reliably triggered by scribing skills and easily combined with other guaranteed proc effects to create a powerful burst. However, some players feel that its damage type (magic damage) is not as good as oblivion damage. Overall, even if it is not as good as Balorgh, it is still a worthwhile set.
The above is the general content of this week's merchants. If there are furniture or sets that you don't have yet, you can supplement them. You can also invest in some popular furniture to earn some gold, but remember to hurry.
