Skins
The Magasin cosmétique enables players to purchase Cosmétiques for use in Ashes of Creation.[2]
- Pets, Supports, Costumes, Armure, Buildings and Accessories sold in the cosmetic store are skins.[3]
- Cosmetic skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation.[4]
- Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.[5]
- Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures may exist in the wild.[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.[5]
All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.[7] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.[8]
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.[8] – Steven Sharif
The cosmetic store will offer limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[9]
- Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[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.[9] – Steven Sharif
Sommaire
Artistic style
Ashes of Creation will have a higher graphical fidelity than most western games. It will not be too stylized or "cartoony".[10]
- All of the art assets in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale testing mode have been created by Intrepid Studios.[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.[10] – Steven Sharif
Racial skins
Racial skins enable a player to change their character's racial appearance.[12][13]
- Racial skins can be toggled on and off.[13]
Racial skins are not costumes. This means that armor and character customization is possible on these.[14]
There are plans to create other racial skins.[17]
- Some potential future ideas include undead and werewolf (lycan) skins.[18]
Freehold skins
Themed freehold skins were offered as Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding rewards and are sold through the cosmetic store.[19][20]
Caravan skins
Caravan skins ("Pimp my caravan") are available in the cash shop (cosmetic store).[21]
Ship skins
Ship skins apply to certain ship types.[22]
Mount skins
Supports are obtained through an early quest that is available to players in starting areas.[23]
- Mounts can also be found in the wild and tamed.[24][25]
- Cosmetic skins can be applied to the appearance of mounts that were earned in game.[23][26]
- Mount skins are applicable to specific classes of mounts.[4]
- For example, the Ramstrider skin will only be applicable to the class of land mounts, and the Night Hunter skin is only applicable to the class of royal mounts.
- Mounts will be purchasable from players utilizing Animal husbandry and taming.[27]
We kind of want mounts to be ubiquitous for people.[28] – 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.[26] – Steven Sharif
We won't have mounted combat, but we will have mounted abilities.[27]
Land mounts
Flying mounts
Undermounts
Gliding mounts
Aquatic mounts
Crowdfunding mounts
Cosmetic pets
Cosmetic pets are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.[3]
Guild hall skins
Salles de guilde serve as a focal point for a guild, offering a host of benefits and customization options.[30]
- A guild hall only houses a single guild.[31]
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.[30]
Costumes
Costumes are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.
Accessories
Accessories are cosmetic skins purchasable from the cosmetic store.[3]
Housing decorations
Housing decorations are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.

Gear appearance
Gear will have appearance slots (Transmutation/Transmog/cosmetic slots) that are used to copy the appearance of an item (in some cases).[35][36]
- Armure will take on a racial appearance.[37]
- Cosmetic slots can be toggled on or off.[38]
- Gear is intended to be realistic in appearance.[39][40]

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.[39] – 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.[39] – Jeffrey Bard
