Skins
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.[2] – Steven Sharif
The Tienda cosmética enables players to purchase Cosméticos for use in Ashes of Creation.[3] The cosmetic store offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[4]
- Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[4]
- Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.[5]
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.[4] – Steven Sharif
Pets, Montajes, Costumes, Armadura, Buildings and Accessories sold in the cosmetic store are skins.[6]
- Skins are cosmetic items that do not grant the user any benefit.[7]
- Skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation.[8]
- Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures may exist in the wild.[9]
- Flavor text relates to the lore and background of creatures and items in the world of Verra.[7]
- Costumes do not include any weapons pictured.[10]
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.[11] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.[12]
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.[12] – Steven Sharif
Sumario
Artistic style
Ashes of Creation will have a higher graphical fidelity than most western games. It will not be too stylized or "cartoony".[13]
- All of the art assets in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse battle royale testing mode have been created by Intrepid Studios.[14]
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.[13] – Steven Sharif
Racial skins
Racial skins enable a player to change their character's racial appearance.[15][16]
- Racial skins transform the race of the character to that skin. The original racial appearance of the character is entirely replaced.[17]
- Racial skins can be toggled on and off.[16]
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.[17] – Steven Sharif
Racial skins are not costumes. This means that armor and character customization is possible on these.[18]
There are plans to create other racial skins.[21]
- Some potential future ideas include undead and werewolf (lycan) skins.[22]
Freehold building skins
Themed freehold skins were offered as Kickstarter and El verano de la financiación rewards and are sold through the cosmetic store.[23][24]
Caravan skins
Caravan skins ("Pimp my caravan") are available in the cash shop (cosmetic store).[25]
Ship skins
Ship skins apply to certain ship types.[26]
Mount skins
Montajes are obtained through an early quest that is available to players in starting areas.[27]
- Mounts can also be found in the wild and tamed.[28][29]
- There are three different tiers of mount.[30]
- Aquatic/swimming mounts are classified as tier A.[31][32]
- Mount speeds are determined by the base mount that the skin is applied to.[33]
- Cosmetic skins can be applied to the appearance of mounts that were earned in game.[27][34]
- Mount skins are applicable to specific classes of mounts.[8]
- For example, the Ramstrider skin will only be applicable to the class of land mounts (tier 1), and the Nighthunter Gryphon skin is only applicable to the class of royal mounts (tier 3).[8]
- Certain tier 2 mount skins (such as the Emberstorm Dragon) can be upgraded to tier 3 skins if they also apply to royal mounts.[30]
- Mounts will be purchasable from players utilizing Animal husbandry and taming.[35]
We kind of want mounts to be ubiquitous for people.[36] – 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.[34] – Steven Sharif
Land mounts
Gliding mounts
Flying mounts
Undermounts
Aquatic mounts
Crowdfunding mounts
Cosmetic pets
Cosmetic pets are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.[6]
Guild hall skins
Salones gremiales serve as a focal point for a guild, offering a host of benefits and customization options.[38]
- A guild hall only houses a single guild.[39]
- Guild halls are objectives in guild wars.[40]
- Guild halls may be placed on guild freeholds.[41][42]
- In-node guild halls may only be claimed by patron guilds of that node. These have different perks and benefits to halls placed on freehold plots.[42]
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.[38]
Costumes
Costumes are available for purchase from the cosmetic store.
- Costumes are not gender locked.[44]
- Costumes are one piece outfits that cover an entire (gear) set.[45][46]
- Costumes do not include any weapons pictured.[10]
The costume cosmetic does not come in pieces. It will cover your entire set.[46] – Margaret Krohn
Accessories
Accessories are cosmetic skins purchasable from the cosmetic store.[6]
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).[47][48]
- Armadura will take on a racial appearance.[49]
- Cosmetic slots can be toggled on or off by the player.[50]
- A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.[51][52]
- Gear is intended to be realistic in appearance.[53][54]
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.[53] – 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.[53] – Jeffrey Bard

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse cosmetic rewards
Progression and experience tracking for participation in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse testing will entitle players to earn unique cosmetic rewards. These earned rewards will carry over in player's accounts to live launch of the MMORPG.[62][63]
- Armor appearances.[63]
- Costumes.[62][64]
- Emotes.[62]
- Freehold building skins.[62]
- Furniture.[62]
- Hairstyles.[64]
- Montajes.[62][64]
- Pets.[65]
- Weapon skins.[62][64][66][67]
![[65]](#cite_note-apoc-cosmetic-reward.png-65){kind=link}
One of the ways we want to give back to the Community in participating in this testing is allowing for progress, quests, achievements rewards to be gained in Apocalypse... You will have rewards and quests and achievements that you and your participation and your performance in that game, whether it be the Castle Siege, the Horde Mode or the Battle Royale will earn you cosmetics. There will be costumes. There will be mounts to earn. There will be housing and furniture. There will be emotes. There will be weapon variants. A lot of these are what we have in production for our project Ashes of Creation, we apply some variants and skins for and make them only available through participating in helping us test these different game modes. And they will carry over to your account on the MMORPG.[62] – Steven Sharif
The account used for Apocalypse is the same account used for the MMORPG. Unique skins earned in Apocalypse will be added to the MMORPG as rewards for helping to prepare for the Alpha and Beta stages of Ashes of Creation.[67]
- Cosmetic skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within the Ashes of Creation MMORPG.[8]
- Skins earned in Apocalypse will be available to apply at certain tiers, levels and/or access points within the MMORPG.[8]
So it's not that you'll be able to equip necessarily an item at level one. These are all cosmetic skins. Again we are not about the pay-to-win or pay-to-convenience life. What we want to do instead is as you earn, craft, or find equipment in the MMORPG, these skins that you've earned in Apocalypse will be available at certain tiers, levels and/or access points. So for example, we have different grades of mounts right. We have the base one land mounts. We have the the Royal mounts. We have the flying mounts if you're a mayor or King or Queen. We have legendary mounts. These classes of mounts will have available skins associated with those particular classes... If you have the Ramstider skin that you've earned from Apocalypse, you'll be able to apply that to your first land mount, which will probably be earned within the first five levels you'll earn a land mount. However if you have let's say for example the Gryphon, which will be a glideable mount. I'm sorry what's the name of the what's the name of the night one. The midnight- is the midnight bird or something like? The Nighthunter Gryphon. I think that's it. If you have that skin you'll only be able to apply that skin to a Royal mount so you'll still have to earn these things. Remember our position is that of: You need to earn these things in Ashes first. They're not purchasable or earned outside in Apocalypse and you're granted that immediately. These are skins that you apply to the things you earn in Ashes.[8] – Steven Sharif
These cosmetics reflect the lore of Ashes of Creation Apocalypse, which is set before the fall.[63]
- Armor appearances will reflect the ancient cultures of Verra.[63]
One thing that we announced to our alpha one backers that I know they love clarity on is that we'll also be including progression and experience tracking for participation and testing that will entitle them to some unique cosmetics as well that reflect on the lore of this setting, which is before the fall. So you'll be able to acquire some armors that reflect some of the ancient cultures of Verra that you will earn and hold for live launch.[63] – Steven Sharif
It would be like your ancestors kept these curios for you.[63] – Jeffrey Bard
Examples of some Kickstarter rewards will be included in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[68]
