Costumes

Vestments of the Runecarvers pre-order pack cosmetic costume.^[1]

Costumes are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.

Costumes are not gender locked.^[2]
Costumes are one piece outfits that cover an entire (gear) set.^[3]^[4]

The costume cosmetic does not come in pieces. It will cover your entire set.^[4] – Margaret Krohn

Dyeable items

Farbstoffe only affect tagged portions of armor or cosmetic items.^[5]

The dyeability of costumes depends on the specific costume.

Outside of wanting to keep maybe some identity from a lore perspective; for example if you have like a white lion's suit of armor, you may not want that white lion suit of armor to be black or blue. So, it's possible. It depends on the costume itself.^[5] – Steven Sharif

Kosmetikshop

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.^[6]

The Kosmetikshop enables players to purchase Cosmetics for use in Ashes of Creation.^[7]

Pets, Mounts, Costumes, Armor, Buildings and Accessories sold in the cosmetic store are skins.^[8]

Skins are cosmetic items that do not grant the user any benefit.^[9] Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.^[10]

Skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation.^[11]
Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures may exist in the wild.^[12]
Flavor text relates to the lore and background of creatures and items in the world of Verra.^[9]
Costumes and mounts may also be accessible in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.^[9]

We plan to include a shop for micro transactions. The shop will only include cosmetic items. Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.^[10]

All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.^[13] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.^[14]

I don't want cosmetic items that can be purchased from the marketplace to be transferable... because it is in a way a transfer of money for potentially something in-game.^[14] – Steven Sharif

The cosmetic store will offer limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.^[15]

Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.^[15]

I want to incentivize purchase in the cosmetic shop for sustainability of what expansions we have intended, since we are not a box cost. I want to incentivize purchase by offering limited items: limited time, limited quantity, so you have confidence that when you purchase them, they won't be offered later on in some other way.^[15] – Steven Sharif
