Fellbeak Macaw was a cosmetic pet in a pre-order pack.[2]

Due to the hostility and danger within its natural environment, this vibrant and beautiful flightless bird has slowly evolved its beak into an adept hacking tool for fending off predators and accessing the nutritious innards of hard plants. Any hunter who comes across one must take care not to be distracted by the deluge of bright plumes, lest their blood be added to the canvas.[2]

A Fell Venture (lore)

Day: 1

We Kaelar have always been an inquisitive folk, even more so since we had begun to document our findings of this new, yet strange land. Research into the local flora and fauna has begun in earnest, with my domain lying within the local jungles, and only the gods know what I might find.[1]

Day: 3

Unfortunately, the unabating heat and humidity that seems to accompany all jungles is no less present back beyond the portal than here. The retinue commissioned to ensure my safety has made no small effort to voice their complaints in this matter. Nevertheless, a task needs finishing. Though, through the haze, I've caught glimpses of a curious, feathered creature. A brilliant deluge of blue and yellow in stark contrast to the green drab of the jungle. It turned to look at me with an almost unsettling focus before letting out a loud squawk and running off in the opposite direction.[1]

Day: 6

My research continues, with more and more new life being documented each hour. Yet again I find the strange yet colorful creature along the path of our journey. It was closer this time, granting me a more thorough opportunity to study. It possessed a pair of black avian legs with short, but sharp talons, yet its wings were clearly underdeveloped. Indeed this bird was relegated to a life of subsistence along the jungle floor. Curiously, and perhaps more unnervingly, it's black beak was lined with what I could only describe as teeth. This strange combination of hard, hacking beak and sharp teeth lend me to believe it is, in fact, an omnivore. Luckily it has shown no outward signs of aggression, though I'm sure a hard strike from this bird would fell any man. I wish to press yet further, much to the chagrin of the guards, but the promise of a heftier coin purse seemed to motivate them well enough.[1]

Day: 7

Gods, the danger has passed for the moment, yet my hands tremble so. We found the bird at last in the center of a clearing, occasionally turning to glance at us. We moved farther inward for a better view when the creature’s shrill shriek broke the silence. All at once, from every direction, the damnable birds burst forth from the canopy. The guards held for a time, desperately cutting a path back into the brush. It was only a matter of time until they got to me, and all I could do was run, to run and dare not look back. These birds are far more cunning and predatory than I could have thought. Only now do I realize that I'd never seen more than one of the creatures at any given time. The creature my unfortunate retinue and I had been tracking must have been a sort of scout, and saw fit to lure us to its brethren. To say I underestimated them only bespeaks my naivete.This small cave has allowed me to elude them thus far, but the ambient light is fading. Damnit, the expeditionaries must learn of this before mor...[1]

We are very transparent in the business model of subscription with cosmetic only marketplace... I respect and understand the opinion of rather having a box price in-place of cosmetics, but that is not the direction I’ve decided to take. After weighing the benefits to the game and its population, I believe a lower barrier to entry is healthier in the long run, and the steady content release and quality of the product will sustain the retention for subscription and in-turn provide a healthier content release strategy for Ashes.[5]Steven Sharif

Cosméticos provide a wide array of customization in Ashes of Creation.[6]

All skin cosmetic items are cosmetic items only and do not grant the user any other benefit. The lore text is flavor text, and background of the creatures and items in the world of Verra.[4]
  • Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[8][9] Cosmetics achievable in-game will be on-par, and in the case of legendary skins, even more elaborate than shop items.[10][11][5]
I want to make sure that equitable cosmetics both from a quantity and quality standpoint are achievable through in-game achievements. Time, effort should let you be happy with what you can accomplish.[9]Steven Sharif
In my opinion quality of cash shop cosmetics should be equal to in game achievable cosmetics, but offer a diverse selection of unique looks.[12]Steven Sharif
The most grand looking cosmetics will be from in-game achievment only.[13]Steven Sharif
From an armor standpoint, we cut armor sets up into many different pieces. These pieces can sometimes be used as part of other sets, that may include helmets, wrists, gloves etc. So while you will not see an achievable white version of the corvid castigator set in the game for example, you may see its shoulder piece used in another set, or its leggings, or wrist piece used in another set (not every piece as to form the whole set, but perhaps a couple pieces). This would be difficult to notice at first glance, due to the material, texture and color variation used, but this modular approach to content creation makes achieving a wide variety of looks achievable for an MMORPG of our size.[10]Steven Sharif
  • Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures (Pets and Montarias) may exist in the wild.[15][16]
While the exact same skin will not be available again in the future once it's gone from the Shop, these skins are all variants of creatures that you can expect to see across Verra - so perhaps you will find one with a similar style in-game![15]Sarah Flanagan
  • Cosméticos can be used by all races but there may be slight variations to make them work with the body builds of each race.[17][18]
  • There will not be mascot looking/furry cosmetics.[19]
It's important to remember, Ashes is a NO-BOX COST subscription only game, with an optional cosmetic marketplace. This achieves a few things from a monetization model. Having a lower barrier to entry for players to try the game when they don't have to fork out $60 for the box price is good, our box price is 0$. This also places an emphasis on the game's retention and our continual updates and content creation to keep players playing and staying subscribed (a put your money where your mouth is sort of philosophy for us as a company). It also means players don't have to spend $60 every time there is an expansion.[10]Steven Sharif
Is there an answer that satisfies everyone? Nope. And that's ok. We are open and transparent with our philosophies and business model. You know what you are getting with Ashes and to me, given my experiences in other games, it is a nice breath of fresh air.[10]Steven Sharif
I know there have been quite a few questions regarding cosmetics over the years. As we get further along in development, we'll be providing more specific information regarding what specific buildings, items, etc., you can place each cosmetic on. We'll update this for all past items.[22]Margaret Krohn

Loja de cosméticos

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.[25]

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.[11]Steven Sharif

A Loja de cosméticos permite aos jogadores compras de Cosméticos para uso em Ashes of Creation.[26] A loja de cosméticos oferece itens disponíveis por tempo limitado e em quantidade limitada, que ajudam a manter o desenvolvimento sustentável do jogo.[9]

  • Cosméticos equitativos, tanto de um ponto de vista de qualidade como de quantidade, são obteníveis por meios dentro do jogo.[9]
  • Nada na loja de cosméticos será pay to win.[7]

Nada na nossa loja jamais será pay to win (pagar para ter vantagens no jogo), já que acreditamos que essa prática fere fervorosamente o gênero dos MMORPGS..[7]

  • Cosméticos da loja oferecerão uma diversa seleção de visuais únicos. [12]

Eu quero incentivar a compra de cosméticos na loja pela sustentabilidade das expansões que tenho planejadas, já que não temos valor de venda nelas. Eu quero incentivar a compra oferecendo itens limitados: Tempo limitado para compra, quantidade limitada, assim você sente confiança de que quando você compra quaisquer skins, elas não serão oferecidas novamente de alguma outra maneira.[9]Steven Sharif

  • Todos os itens da loja de cosmético serão não negociáveis.[24] Não haverá mecanismo de presentear itens cosméticos.[27]

Eu não quero que itens cosméticos comprados pelo mercado sejam transferíveis... porque essa seria uma possibilidade de transformar dinheiro real em vantagens no jogo.[27]Steven Sharif

Skins

Providing these limited options that collectors out there like when it comes to achieving and/or purchasing cosmetics. It means something I think when players make that decision to purchase or they go through the rigorous portion of achieving those things in game that it is not just everywhere around them and becomes meaningless at that point.[29]Steven Sharif

Pets, Montarias, Vestuário, Armadura, Edificações e Acessórios vendidos na loja de cosméticos são skins.[30]

As melhores skins serão obteníveis dentro do jogo (obviamente "melhor" é subjetivo, então eu diria as mais ornamentadas e detalhadas/únicas).[36]Steven Sharif
