Costumes

Vestments of the Runecarvers pre-order pack cosmetic costume.^[1]

The costume cosmetics that are included in each month's pre-order set are indeed a full piece, and when you put it on it will cover your entire appearance. You will not be able to mix and match/toggle those pieces individually (other than your helmet) when you're wearing the entire costume. This is partially why there is a separate category for accessories - those are able to be worn/equipped on a more individualized basis, so you can mix and match to your liking!^[2] – Sarah Flanagan

Costumes were available for purchase from the cosmetic store.^[3]

They do not include any weapons pictured.^[4]
Costumes are one piece outfits that cover all gear slots regardless of armor type.^[5]^[2]^[6]^[7]^[8]

Full costumes do not mix and match pieces.^[8] – Steven Sharif

Costumes don't have a level restriction or require an in-game item to be obtained first.^[9]^[10]
Costumes are not gender or race locked, but can adapt based on a character's gender and race.^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]
- Racial skins appear along with any costume appearances.^[15]^[16]
All hoods and head slot items, whether part of a complete costume or individual gear, will have the option to be shown or hidden on the character by the player.^[17]^[2]^[18]

Dyeable items

Dyes only affect tagged portions of dyeable armor or cosmetic items.^[19]

The dyeability of costumes depends on the specific costume.^[19]

Outside of wanting to keep maybe some identity from a lore perspective; for example if you have like a white lion's suit of armor, you may not want that white lion suit of armor to be black or blue. So, it's possible. It depends on the costume itself.^[19] – Steven Sharif

Tienda cosmética

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.^[20]

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.^[21] – Steven Sharif

La tienda de cosméticos permite a los jugadores comprar cosméticos para usarlos en Ashes of Creation.^[22] La tienda de cosméticos ofrece artículos por tiempo y cantidad limitados para ayudar a sostener el desarrollo del juego.^[23]

Se pueden conseguir cosméticos de buena calidad y cantidad a través del propio juego (sin necesidad de la tienda).^[23]
Nada en la tienda de cosméticos será pay to win.^[24]

Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.^[24]

Los cosméticos de la tienda ofrecerán una variada selección de looks únicos.^[25]

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.^[23] – Steven Sharif

Los objetos de la tienda de cosméticos no se podrán comerciar.^[26] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.^[27]

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^[27] – Steven Sharif
