We've got some good news for Elder Scrolls Online players, as Zenimax Online Studios has confirmed as part of a preview event that a new system is being added to make the game's loot box items obtainable for free.
The system is set to arrive in June, and is called "Endeavors", introducing new daily and weekly objectives that can grant you a new 'Seals of Endeavor' currency to be spent on the loot box items available in "Crown Crates".
Here's what Rich Lambert of ZeniMax Online Studios had to say about it (thanks Eurogamer):
"We thought this was a very good add to the game because it fits our overall mantra of, players can have an in-game equivalent, or an in-game way to access anything that we sell in the Crown Store."
We're still waiting on more details about this Endeavors system in terms of how significant the grind will be to acquire these Crown Crate items for free, but it nevertheless sounds like a welcome addition and we're definitely all for it!
Happy to hear about this? Like the sound of the Endeavors system? Let us know down below.

That's honestly a pretty amazing change. Just wish the Series X update wasn't so far away. It needs 60fps so bad.
@InterceptorAlpha
Have they given an ETA of when to expect the Series X version?
@blinx01 Currently supposed to come out June 8th alongside the Blackwood chapter.
Well have to see if it is just a scheme to entice you to spend more money. If they make it so the getting them is reasonable time frame wise this could be great. I play on my pc and have been from the start the game has come a long way then back slid a little bit with the jewelry grind. The antiquities system is my favorite system in the game. The one thing that is terrible on the pc and I do not know about the console is that the loading time to get from character select to in game is horrendous its like mass effect 1 elevator slow. Going from zone to zone once in game is really fast.
@VisitingComet1 It was on the One/OneX. On the Series X, if on the SSD, loads pretty snappily.
I played ESO a bit on my PS4 but never got very far. Gonna give it another go once the Series X upgrade drops.
I'm ok with them having an option to buy something so long as I can also earn it by just playing the game. Some people are ok just dropping a ton of money into a game...I'm not..but it shouldn't hold me back from accessing everything in the game. Pretty sure in Halo Infinite they mentioned that you can just pay to unlock some sets or skins instantly vs grinding them. It's just visuals that don't impact the game play so i have no issue with it. I think having something unique that can't be bought should be in the games for those that grind it out...gotta teach kids to work towards something right?
@Krzzystuff I agree with what you said there is now I win button in Eso they have added some quality of life things for instance once you have collected all the skyshards from a zone with one guy you can pay to not have to collect them on all your other toons it is per toon so could get expensive, but if your like me I have 13 guys that are at the cap when I started a new one I had little interest in all that grind so it was nice to be bale to buy that. My only issue whit them ever is I feel like the crown crates take their priority but that may be a need to keepm pumping out the content and the loading from the character screen . If I had to rate it today I would give it an 8/10 it is a fun game for me.
