Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.[1]

The Kosmetikshop enables players to purchase Cosmetics for use in Ashes of Creation.[2] The cosmetic store offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[3]

  • Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[3]
  • Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.[4]

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.[3] – Steven Sharif

Pets, Mounts, Costumes, Armor, Buildings and Accessories sold in the cosmetic store are skins.[5]

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.[4]

All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.[9] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.[10]

I don't want cosmetic items that can be purchased from the market to be transferable... because it is in a way a transfer of money for potentially something in-game.[10] – Steven Sharif

Artistic style

Ashes of Creation wird eine höhere grafische Treue haben als die meisten westlichen Spiele. Es wird nicht zu stilisiert oder "cartoonisiert" sein.[11]

We can push the limits a little bit on the graphical fidelity, especially using Unreal Engine 4... My desire was not to see very cartoony games. I'm not a big fan of highly stylized art.[11] – Steven Sharif

Racial skins

Racial skins enable a player to change their character's racial appearance.[13][14]

  • Racial skins transform the race of the character to that skin. The original racial appearance of the character is entirely replaced.[15]
  • Racial skins can be toggled on and off.[14]

You're changing your race over to that, which means that you won't look uniquely different if you were a Vek angel or a Human angel.[15] – Steven Sharif

Racial skins are not costumes. This means that armor and character customization is possible on these.[16]

  • Skin color customization.[17]
  • Racial skins appear along with any costume appearances.[18]

There are plans to create other racial skins.[19]

  • Some potential future ideas include undead and werewolf (lycan) skins.[20]

Freehold building skins

Themed freehold skins were offered as Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding rewards and are sold through the cosmetic store.[21][22]

Caravan skins

Caravan skins ("Pimp my caravan") are available in the cash shop (cosmetic store).[23]

Skins für Schiffe

Skins für Schiffe apply to certain ship types.[24]

Mount skins

Mount concept art by Jeff Delierre.

Mounts are obtained through an early quest that is available to players in starting areas.[25]

We kind of want mounts to be ubiquitous for people.[31] – Peter Pilone

There are going to be classes of mounts; and you will be able to achieve skins in the game or you will be able to achieve different types of those classes and summon them.[29] – Steven Sharif

We won't have mounted combat, but we will have mounted abilities.[30]

Land mounts

Gliding mounts

Flying mounts

Undermounts

Wasser-Reittiere

Crowdfunding mounts

Cosmetic pets

Quarrior cosmetic pet 3D render.[32]

Cosmetic pets are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.[5]

Guild hall skins

Summer guildhall appearance cosmetic concept art.[33]

Guild halls serve as a focal point for a guild, offering a host of benefits and customization options.[34]

Guildhalls are the ultimate expression of a guild's power! In Ashes these structures will serve as focal points for a guild, offering any guilds who construct them a whole host of benefits as well as customization options.[34]

Costumes

Vestments of the Runecarvers pre-order pack cosmetic costume.[39]

Costumes are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.

  • Costumes are not gender locked.[40]
  • Costumes are one piece outfits that cover an entire (gear) set.[41][42]

The costume cosmetic does not come in pieces. It will cover your entire set.[42] – Margaret Krohn

Accessories

Accessories sind Kosmetikartikel, die im Kosmetikshop erhältlich sind.[5]

Housing decorations

Housing decorations are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.

Gear appearance

Ausrüstung will have appearance slots (Transmutation/Transmog/cosmetic slots) that are used to copy the appearance of an item (in some cases).[43][44]

  • Cosmetic slots can be toggled on or off.[46]
    • This may happen automatically during battles to increase performance.[47]

I'm more of the mind that it wouldn't really serve a purpose to have bikini plate armor, just in like reality, if you're going to have armor, it should be protective. I think from a fashion statement is enjoyable for some people, but it's a kind of an immersive issue.[48] – Steven Sharif

We're going for kind of a more realistic look; not necessarily realistic setting, but we want our characters to have weight and kind of feel like they're there.[48] – Jeffrey Bard

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse cosmetics

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse cosmetic rewards

All of the skins attained in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse will be usable in the Ashes of Creation MMORPG.[56]

Progression and experience tracking for participation in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse testing will entitle players to earn unique cosmetic rewards. These earned rewards will carry over in player's accounts to live launch of the MMORPG.[57][58]

One of the ways we want to give back to the Community in participating in this testing is allowing for progress, quests, achievements rewards to be gained in Apocalypse... You will have rewards and quests and achievements that you and your participation and your performance in that game, whether it be the Castle Siege, the Horde Mode or the Battle Royale will earn you cosmetics. There will be costumes. There will be mounts to earn. There will be housing and furniture. There will be emotes. There will be weapon variants. A lot of these are what we have in production for our project Ashes of Creation, we apply some variants and skins for and make them only available through participating in helping us test these different game modes. And they will carry over to your account on the MMORPG.[57] – Steven Sharif

The account used for Apocalypse is the same account used for the MMORPG. Unique skins earned in Apocalypse will be added to the MMORPG as rewards for helping to prepare for the Alpha and Beta stages of Ashes of Creation.[62]

  • Cosmetic skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within the Ashes of Creation MMORPG.[7]
  • Skins earned in Apocalypse will be available to apply at certain tiers, levels and/or access points within the MMORPG.[7]

So it's not that you'll be able to equip necessarily an item at level one. These are all cosmetic skins. Again we are not about the pay-to-win or pay-to-convenience life. What we want to do instead is as you earn, craft, or find equipment in the MMORPG, these skins that you've earned in Apocalypse will be available at certain tiers, levels and/or access points. So for example, we have different grades of mounts right. We have the base one land mounts. We have the the Royal mounts. We have the flying mounts if you're a mayor or King or Queen. We have legendary mounts. These classes of mounts will have available skins associated with those particular classes... If you have the Ramstider skin that you've earned from Apocalypse, you'll be able to apply that to your first land mount, which will probably be earned within the first five levels you'll earn a land mount. However if you have let's say for example the Gryphon, which will be a glideable mount. I'm sorry what's the name of the what's the name of the night one. The midnight- is the midnight bird or something like? The Nighthunter Gryphon. I think that's it. If you have that skin you'll only be able to apply that skin to a Royal mount so you'll still have to earn these things. Remember our position is that of: You need to earn these things in Ashes first. They're not purchasable or earned outside in Apocalypse and you're granted that immediately. These are skins that you apply to the things you earn in Ashes.[7] – Steven Sharif

These cosmetics reflect the lore of Ashes of Creation Apocalypse, which is set before the fall.[58]

One thing that we announced to our alpha one backers that I know they love clarity on is that we'll also be including progression and experience tracking for participation and testing that will entitle them to some unique cosmetics as well that reflect on the lore of this setting, which is before the fall. So you'll be able to acquire some armors that reflect some of the ancient cultures of Verra that you will earn and hold for live launch.[58] – Steven Sharif

It would be like your ancestors kept these curios for you.[58] – Jeffrey Bard

Examples of some Kickstarter rewards will be included in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[63]
