Magasin cosmétique

The Cosmetic store enables players to purchase Cosmétiques 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, Supports, Costumes, Armure, Buildings and Accessories sold in the cosmetic store are skins.^[5]

Skins are cosmetic items that do not grant the user any benefit.^[6]
Skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation.^[7]
Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures may exist in the wild.^[8]
Flavor text relates to the lore and background of creatures and items in the world of Verra.^[6]
Costumes and mounts may also be accessible in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.^[6]

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

Obtaining cosmetics

Some cosmetics can be obtained in-game:^[2]

Réalisations may unlock some cosmetics.^[2]

Not all cosmetics are obtainable through in-game means. These will be purchasable through the cosmetic store.^[2]

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.^[11] – Steven Sharif

Cosmetic binding

All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.^[9]

Pre-order packs

Ashes of Creation Might of the Murk pre-order packs.^[12]

A swamp is a sweltering mass of stagnation and decay, yet beneath and above the billowing depths, life thrives. For those who know where to look, untapped power may be found. Be wary - as with any power, it is well-guarded, and one would do well to remember that the bog is always watching.^[12]

Pre-order packs are available from the Cosmetic store.^[1]

Eye color.
Skin color.
Hair color.
Hairstyles.

Cosmetic items that produce in-game cosmetic effects will also be available.^[14]

Dyes

Modular Cleric armor concept by Jeff Delierre and Keith Kovach.^[15]

Dyes are a cosmetic item in Ashes of Creation.^[2]

Dyes can be used to customize armor color.^[15]
Dyes are craftable.^[16]

Dye usage

Dyes are normally one time use items that apply a cosmetic color change on certain items/gear.^[17]

The Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding dyes are sets of unique colors that are not obtainable by players who did not participate in Crowdfunding. These dyes are not usable as normal dyes are. Instead they are used to override the color of another dye obtained in game.^[18]

They are assigned to a character from a user's account management page.
They do not expire, so they may be used to continually override dye colors.
Once a dye has been overridden it becomes a bound dye to that character, so the colors cannot be sold for in-game benefit.
When an item is sold or transferred, color changes are reverted.

Armor appearance

Gear will have appearance slots (Transmutation/Transmog/cosmetic slots) that are used to copy the appearance of an item (in some cases).^[19]^[20]

Armure will take on a racial appearance.^[21]

Cosmetic slots can be toggled on or off.^[22]
- This may happen automatically during battles to increase performance.^[23]

Gear is intended to be realistic in appearance.^[24]^[25]
- There will not be "oversized" weapons.^[26]
- Armor will not be overly sexual in appearance.^[25]

Players can change gear colors using dyes.^[27]^[15]

Helmet display can be toggled on and off.^[28]

Particle effects are used to denote the importance and rarity of some weapons.^[29]

Armes are able to be sheathed.^[30]

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.^[24] – 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.^[24] – Jeffrey Bard
