As noted on the official site, The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition also includes a Palomino horse mount and 500 Crowns for use in the game’s Crown Store. Since purchasers will own the listed pieces of DLC, they will always be available regardless of subscription status. After all, a subscription is not required to play The Elder Scrolls Online; however, a subscription does include access to all DLCs without needing to purchase them separately. The new Gold Edition is the perfect way to pick up the DLCs at a discount for those looking to experience all the game has to offer without ever subscribing.

As previously mentioned, The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Edition does not include the Shadows of the Hist downloadable content. The dungeon DLC adds two new Argonian dungeons in both normal and veteran modes. Players can find new sets, new achievements, and even new appearance rewards for tackling these dungeons.
