Cosméticos
Cosméticos provide a wide array of customization in Ashes of Creation.[18]
- There are no pay-to-win gameplay benefits from any purchasable items.[5][19]
- 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.[17]
- Types of cosmetics:
- Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[20][21] Cosmetics achievable in-game will be on-par, and in the case of legendary skins, even more elaborate than shop items.[22][23][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.[21] – 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.[24] – Steven Sharif
- There will be legendary cosmetics that are only achievable in-game that will never be offered in the cosmetic shop.[22][23][5]
- The most grand looking cosmetics will be from in-game achievment only.[25] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be recolors or material swaps on the monthly cosmetics as a means to populate in-game achievements.[22]
- There will be variants of the monthly cosmetics for NPCs and Mobs.[22][26]
- Component pieces of cosmetic armor may be reused in other in-game achievable gear sets.[22]
- 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.[22] – Steven Sharif
- Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures (Pets and Montarias) may exist in the wild.[27][28]
- 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![27] – 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.[29][30]
- There will not be mascot looking/furry cosmetics.[31]
- 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.[22] – 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.[22] – Steven Sharif
- Costume and pet cosmetics don't have a level restriction. Building, ship, caravan and mount cosmetics require an in-game item to be obtained first to apply the cosmetic.[32][33]
- 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.[34] – Margaret Krohn
- Cosméticos are not tradeable with other players but can be reassigned to other characters (alts) within the same account.[35][36]
Loja de cosméticos
A Loja de cosméticos permite aos jogadores compras de Cosméticos para uso em Ashes of Creation.[38] A loja de cosméticos oferece itens disponíveis por tempo limitado e em quantidade limitada, que ajudam a manter o desenvolvimento sustentável do jogo.[21]
- Cosméticos equitativos, tanto de um ponto de vista de qualidade como de quantidade, são obteníveis por meios dentro do jogo.[21]
- Nada na loja de cosméticos será pay to win.[19]
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..[19]
- Cosméticos da loja oferecerão uma diversa seleção de visuais únicos. [24]
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.[21] – Steven Sharif
- Todos os itens da loja de cosmético serão não negociáveis.[36] Não haverá mecanismo de presentear itens cosméticos.[39]
Eu não quero que itens cosméticos comprados pelo mercado sejam transferíveis... porque essa seria uma possibilidade de transformar dinheiro real em vantagens no jogo.[39] – Steven Sharif
Skins
Pets, Montarias, Vestuário, Armadura, Edificações e Acessórios vendidos na loja de cosméticos são skins.[42]
- Skins são cosméticos que não garantem nenhum benefício ao usuário.[17]
- Skins serão apenas possíveis de serem aplicadas a itens previamente adquiridas dentro do jogo, crafted ou encontrados dentro Ashes of Creation.[43]
- Skins de Montaria requerem um tipo específico de Montarias adquirida dentro do jogo.[44]
- Textos de imersão estão relacionados à história e passado de criaturas e itens no mundo de Verra.[17]
- Vestuário não incluem quaisquer armas mostradas.[45]
- Skins de caravana mudam a aparência de Montarias e caravanas já existentes dentro do jogo, ligados um ao outro.[46][47]
- As melhores skins serão obteníveis dentro do jogo.[48]
As melhores skins serão obteníveis dentro do jogo (obviamente "melhor" é subjetivo, então eu diria as mais ornamentadas e detalhadas/únicas).[48] – Steven Sharif
NPC variants
There will be variants of the monthly cosmetics for NPCs and Mobs.[22][26]
We've mentioned this before about what the cosmetics do, but all of those pre-order pack items allow us to create the world. They're the NPCs in the world. They help us make NPC variants. The clothing and costumes are costumes that we'll be putting on NPCs. You're actually helping us create the world.[50] – Margaret Krohn

Pre-order pack owners had the ability to purchase individual pre-order pack cosmetics (at the same or lower level as their pack purchase) as add-ons in the month that they are on sale.[3] [5][9]
- Kickstarter and Crowdfunding do verão backers can also purchase pre-order pack cosmetics as add-ons.[52] This only applies to the current month's cosmetics and beyond.[53]
- In the month a pack is purchased, only the upgrade tiers will be shown on the shop. Individual items will be visible in future months.[54]

- Cosmetics in the new package tiers in the month of the upgrade are gained.[55]
- Upgrades won't unlock cosmetic items in tiers that were already granted by a previous package.[3]
