Colonial PAX East 2018 exclusive cosmetic costume.[1]

Cosmetics provide a wide array of customization in Ashes of Creation.[2]

Obtaining cosmetics

Some cosmetics can be obtained in-game:[3]

Achievements may unlock some cosmetics.[3]

Not all cosmetics are obtainable through in-game means. These will be purchasable through the cosmetic store.[3]

Cash shop cosmetics will be limited in quantity, limited in time for purchase. They will be unique, but you will also have extremely difficult to gain cosmetics in game as well as unique cosmetics that look great and better... There will be a lot of cosmetics that are achievable in the game because that is a very fun aspect of MMO play.[4] – Steven Sharif

Cosmetic store

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.[5]

There is going to be legendary cosmetics that can be earned and achieved in the game through the game systems, but that's going to take a significant amount of effort and work; and those cosmetics are going to be on-par with the cosmetics offered in the marketplace... What that does is it provides additional revenue to the company so that we can continue to fund the development of content as well and bridge the divide that not having a box cost would have and not having any pay-to-win mechanics whatsoever.[6] – Steven Sharif

The Cosmetic store enables players to purchase Cosmetics for use in Ashes of Creation.[3] The cosmetic store offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[7]

  • Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[7]
  • Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.[8]

Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.[8]

  • Cash shop cosmetics will offer a diverse selection of unique looks.[9]

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.[7] – Steven Sharif

  • All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.[10] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.[11]

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.[11] – Steven Sharif

Pre-order packs

Pre-order packs were available from the Cosmetic store up until they ended on January 17, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific.[12][5]

We offer cosmetics for players who wish to support the project early. The exclusive nature of the limited availability is something I think collectors value. If you buy cosmetics as an MMO player, I know I enjoyed if the cosmetic is rare and not every girl at the party is wearing the same dress. In addition, these cosmetics are used to populate the world through NPC variants and color/texture changes so their offering aligns with our production schedule. The good thing about these packs is they contain no P2W advantages and there is no box cost, so from a mechanics standpoint you do not need to buy them to excel in the game on launch. And also, there are comparable and subjectively more grand cosmetics achievable in game as well.[13] – Steven Sharif

Dyes

Dyes in Ashes of Creation may refer to:

Tintengebruik

Tinten zijn normaliter items voor eenmalig gebruik die een cosmetische kleur veranderen op bepaalde items/gear.[18]

De Kickstarter- en summer crowdfundingtinten zijn sets van unieke kleuren die niet verkrijgbaar zijn voor spelers die niet hebben geparticipeerd in de crowdfunding. Deze tinten zijn niet op dezelfde manier bruikbaar als normale tinten. Ze worden gebruikt als een override op een andere in het spel verkregen tint.[19]

  • Ze worden vanuit een speler zijn accountmanagementpagina toegewezen aan een character.
  • Ze vergaan niet. Dat betekent dat ze oneindig gebruikt kunnen worden als een override voor bestaande tinten.
  • Als een tint overschreven wordt, wordt het een spelersgebonden tint. Zo kunnen de tinten niet verkocht worden voor in-game winst.
  • Wanneer een getint item verkocht of overdragen wordt, worden de kleuren teruggesteld naar het origineel.

Dyeable items

Dyes only affect tagged portions of dyeable armor or cosmetic items.[20]

  • The dyeability of costumes depends on the specific costume.[20]

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.[20] – Steven Sharif

Seasonal cosmetics

Festive Protector's Garments pre-order pack costume cosmetic skin.[21]

There are seasonal cosmetics in Ashes of Creation.[3][22]

  • Seasonal cosmetics can be obtained in-game.[3]

Armor appearance

Alpha-1 female plate armor 3D render.[23]

We want to be realistic with the application of particular types of armor, such as plate armor. In this regard for the different sexes there's a fine line that has to be drawn between accentuating the form of the sex as well as making it somewhat realistic and actually applicable to the environment.[23] – Steven Sharif

  • Armor will not be overly sexual in appearance.[23][25]
    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 an immersive issue.[24] – Steven Sharif
    • Some armor and costumes will be more revealing than others, but there will not be nudity in the game.[27]
    There might be sliders, but there are not gonna be naked sliders.[27] – Steven Sharif
Each race is getting its custom geo pieces, which then will share thematic components such as color palette, attachments, design filigree. Those types of things will get shared across the geo but generally you're going to see unique races with unique geo.[31] – Steven Sharif
  • Cosmetics can be used by all races but there may be slight variations to make them work with the body builds of each race.[36]
  • Hair will likely be masked if helmet display is toggled on.[39]

Character appearance

Facial adjustments in the Alpha-2 character creator (first pass).[42]

There is a great variation that's going to be available from a character standpoint when creating your character, especially around the face. Whether it be the shape of the jawline, the cheeks, the ears, the nose, the lips. You know we want to provide a lot of options and an agency to the player to customize their character appearance.[43] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 Py'rai female and male character models.[44]

Character appearance can be customized in the character creator (CC)[45] and via in-game salons/barbershops.[46][47]

We want there to be a lot of room for people to manifest their own identity, to role play how they want to from an appearance standpoint. There's going to be parameters within which you will be able to customize a character. We want the culture and the identity of the races to exist in a range that makes them easily identifiable from other players and other cultures. So, because of that, we have to have a spectrum you can exist on. There will be a lot of hair variants you can do, body art tattoos that you can apply. You'll be able to play with the scales of the facial structure, the bones, the height, width, the body fat percentage. You'll be able to add body hair on different parts of the body. If you want to have hair on your feet, you can dial that up.[48] – Steven Sharif
  • Character models are focused on realism.[49]
  • A player will see a generic character before customization.[50]
  • Character designs will have influences from a wide range of cultures, such as European, African and Asian.[51]
  • Lolis will not be in the game.[52][53]
  • Sliders and other controls, such as color palettes, will offer flexibility in customization but there will be limits based on race, gender, and the artistic style guidelines that the developers are adhering to.[54][55][52][56][57]
There's going to be constraints to the sliders, so that was one of those big questions as work began on the character creator: How much agency do you want to allow pulling like the lower lip all the way down in this weird deformed look, or having like [an] offset cheek that's just asymmetrical to the side of the face. There's not going to be the ability or agency to create those types of weird character things. However you will have the ability to move, slide, change, grow, decrease all those components, but they'll be kept in a more reasonable and presented way in the same sense you won't be able to change the appearance of the dwarven, nor the Dünir or the Niküan races to, in my opinion, create what would be traditionally considered a Loli character.[52] – Steven Sharif

Emoji

Emoji adds additional flare either for chat or character representation (social animations).[58][59][14]

Skins

Racial skins

Racial skins are cosmetics that enable a player to change their character's racial appearance.[61][62][63][64]

  • Racial skins transform the appearance of the character to that skin. The original racial appearance of the character is entirely replaced.[61]
  • There are plans to create other racial skins.[68]
  • Some potential future ideas include undead and werewolf (lycan) skins.[69]
  • Racial skins can be toggled on and off.[64]
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.[61] – Steven Sharif

Freehold skins

Sunbeam's Remembrance medium homestead cosmetic freehold building skin.[70]

After you build your house, you can build other buildings on your Freehold. Each building needs the blueprint to start the process. If you have a cosmetic skin you want to use on a building, this is used after placing the blueprint. Once this has been placed, the building will be shown in a non-functional, construction state. Players will need to provide the required materials needed to complete the building construction, for each building on their Freehold.[71]

Freehold building skins were offered as Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding rewards and were available in pre-order packs.[72][73][74][75][76]

  • Freehold building skins can also be achieved in-game.[77]
  • Freehold building cosmetics cannot be sold or traded with other players.[78][72]
Cosmetics that we have sold as part of different packs throughout the past- our pre-order system: Those cosmetics are split into three primary categories: housing, artisanship, and business; and we will have a breakdown that we're going to be releasing of the cosmetics that have come previously and which categories they exist in, but players will have the option to override the appearance of a blueprint that exists within one of those categories with an associated cosmetic skin; and that is obviously not just something that can be purchased through the pre-order system, but also can be achieved in-game as well- our cosmetics that can be applied to specific building types. And we don't get as granular where, let's say, you might have a shrine cosmetic, and you have, let's say, a blacksmith building that you wouldn't be able to apply the shrine to the blacksmith building. If the shrine exists in the artisanship lane you can apply it to any artisanship type building, but not to a house or business. so giving a little bit of additional context there.[77] – Steven Sharif
  • A planned feature may allow multiple buildings to be replaced by a single large cosmetic skin.[86]
Cosmetics that are are very large in size- we will have a system that's not been developed yet, but we've been planning for this: we'll have a system where multiple buildings can be occupied space-wise by the larger cosmetic. So, a cosmetic might replace the visual appearance of one particular building, but then you'll be able to have that footprint occupy multiple buildings to replace the visual appearance. So that way you're still utilizing the similar amount of space.[77] – Steven Sharif


Caravan skins

Ramstone Hauler pre-order pack cosmetic caravan skin.[88]

Caravan skins ("Pimp my caravan") were available in the cash shop (cosmetic store).[89]

  • The skin changes the appearance of an in-game mount and in-game caravan that are hooked up to each other.[90][91]
  • The caravan and mount components of the skin are not able to be utilized separately.[90][91]
  • Building, ship, caravan and mount cosmetics require an in-game item to be obtained first to apply the cosmetic.[82][80]

You'll need your own creature and caravan hooked up to each other, and then the caravan cosmetic skin goes over all of them to make it look like what's pictured. you're not able to split out separately that caravan mount skin, hence why you'd want the separate mount skin if you wanted to ride it independently.[90] – Sarah Flanagan

Ship skins

Ship skins apply to certain ship types.[92]

Mount skins

Skinwalker in-game achievable mount 3D render. 3D model by Jessica Jennings.[93]

Mounts are obtained through an early quest that is available to players in starting areas.[94]

  • Mounts will be purchasable from players utilizing Animal husbandry and taming.[105]
  • Fall damage that occurs while mounted will be first applied to the mount; and if the mount dies as a result, then the remaining damage may overflow onto the player, but this will be determined based on testing.[107]
  • There may be emotes associated with mounts and pets, such as petting, hugging, or playing with them.[108]
  • The majority of mounts are based on animals, but there may be some mounts based on inanimate objects in the future.[109]

Cosmetic pets kun je kopen in de cosmetics winkel.[110]

Crowdfunding mounts

Kickstarter/Summer crowdfunding mount beloningen worden op deze manieren uitgegeven en gebruikt door backers die hier recht op hebben:[94]

  1. Basismounts worden verkregen na een beginner quest die beschikbaar is voor alle spelers in de startgebieden.
  2. In de account management pagina wijzen spelers cosmetic skins toe aan een character in hun account.
  3. Deze skins kunnen vervolgens worden aangebracht om het uiterlijk van de in het spel verkregen mount te wijzigen.
    • Dit verwijderd de skin niet. Het kan alsnog in de toekomst toegepast worden op een andere passende mount.
    • Spelers kunnen de skin van het ene character verwijderen en aan een andere character toewijzen.
    • Skins kunnen alleen actief zijn op een character en een mount.

De Dawnbreaker mount skin wordt in eenzelfde manier gebruikt, maar is alleen toewijsbaar aan een bepaalde klasse mount. Aquatische mount skins, zoals de Tidesnapper, worden ook op eenzelfde manier gebruikt, maar zijn alleen toewijsbaar aan de aquatische mountklasse.[94]
