The ESO Gold Coast Bazaar is a new in-game storefront in The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) where you spend Trade Bars to buy collectibles, mounts, pets, outfits and gameplay items that were previously locked behind limited-time events and promotions.
If you missed a reward from Golden Pursuits, a Twitch Drop or an old Daily Login cycle, the Bazaar is where those items come back.

What Is the ESO Gold Coast Bazaar?
The ESO Gold Coast Bazaar is found in the Crown Store UI.
The Gold Coast Bazaar is a new in-game storefront in The Elder Scrolls Online that gives you a way to earn collectibles and limited-time rewards through normal gameplay.
Throughout ESO’s history, hundreds of unique rewards were introduced through in-game events, special promotions and limited-time releases. If you missed them, they were often impossible to get again or came back unpredictably. The Bazaar brings those items back in one consolidated store.
Despite the name, the Bazaar has no in-game presence yet. During PTS feedback, ZOS confirmed they are interested in adding a physical version of the Bazaar in Anvil at some point in the future, but nothing has been announced.
Gold Coast Bazaar Categories
The Gold Coast Bazaar on the PTS showing the two sections: Seasonal and Gold Coast Wares.
The Gold Coast Bazaar inventory is split into two categories that determine how long items stay available. The Seasonal section refreshes with each new Season while Gold Coast Wares remain available long-term. Previous ESO Plus monthly free items still require an active membership to purchase.
Seasonal Items
Morthal Jarl Finery costume in ESO
A rotating selection of cosmetics and items that refreshes with each Season. ZOS has confirmed that seasonal items may return in future rotations, so there is less pressure to buy everything before the current Season ends.
Season Zero Examples:
- Morthal Jarl Finery costume
- Dragon’s Treasure Trove furnishing
- Mara’s Spring Chicken pet
- New event fragments also appear here
Gold Coast Wares
Grand Gallery of Tamriel in ESO
A permanent selection of items that stays in the Bazaar across Seasons. ZOS may adjust the selection over time but it does not refresh on a seasonal schedule. You can save your Trade Bars and buy these at your own pace.
- Grand Gallery of Tamriel home
- Dibella’s Exaltation armor style
- Gold Road Recall customized action
- Outfit Tokens
- Consumables like Alliance War Skill Line Scrolls and Crown Mimic Stones
- Previous ESO Plus monthly free items also appear here over time (active membership required to purchase)
ESO Gold Coast Bazaar Rewards in Season Zero
Mara’s Spring Chicken is one of the seasonal rewards in the Gold Coast Bazaar.
At the Season Zero launch, approximately 100 collectibles are available across both sections. These include mounts, pets, outfits, skill styles, player homes, furnishings, consumables and gameplay items.
- Seasonal (rotates each Season) – Morthal Jarl Finery, Dragon’s Treasure Trove, Mara’s Spring Chicken, White Lion
- Gold Coast Wares (permanent) – Grand Gallery of Tamriel, Dibella’s Exaltation, Sword-Singer’s Redoubt, Outfit Tokens

Some items previously found in Crown Crates have appeared in the Bazaar. ZOS has not made a blanket statement about crate items but the presence of former crate rewards suggests more may appear in future Seasons.
How to Earn Trade Bars in ESO
ESO Trade Bars shown in the currency tab
There are multiple ways to earn Trade Bars in the Elder Scrolls Online. Events is just one way to earn Trade Bars that have no cap, never expire and cannot be purchased with Crowns.
Where to Spend Trade Bars in ESO
There are two ways to spend your Trade Bars in the Elder Scrolls Online. The Bazaar handles returning collectibles while the event merchants focus on current and past event rewards.
ESO Trade Bars vs Tome Points
ESO Tome Points and Trade Bars are separate currencies in the currency tab.
These two currencies both come from the Tamriel Tome system but they do completely different things and are often confused.
- Tome Points: Earned from Tome Challenges. Spent inside the Tamriel Tome to unlock pages and claim rewards.
- Trade Bars: Claimed from Tamriel Tomes and from events and PvP. Spent at the Gold Coast Bazaar and event merchants.
| Currency | Earned | Spent |
|---|---|---|
| Tome Points | Completing Challenges in the Tamriel Tome | Inside the Tamriel Tome to unlock rewards |
| Trade Bars | Events, Tome rewards, PvP Veterancy | Gold Coast Bazaar and Event Merchants |
The simple version:
- Tamriel Tome: Challenges → Tome Points → Trade Bars → spend at Gold Coast Bazaar and Event Merchants
- In-Game Events: Event Activity → Trade Bars → spend at Gold Coast Bazaar and Event Merchants
- PvP Veterancy: Unknown → Trade Bars → spend at Gold Coast Bazaar and Event Merchants
