Fellbeak Macaw 3D render by Jincy.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Cosmetics

Rime and Regal‎ pre-order pack cosmetics.

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. – Steven Sharif

Cosmetics provide a wide array of customization in Ashes of Creation.

• There are no pay-to-win gameplay benefits from any purchasable items.

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.

• Types of cosmetics:
  • Skins
  • Costumes
  • Racial skins
  • Dyes

• Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means. Cosmetics achievable in-game will be on-par, and in the case of legendary skins, even more elaborate than shop items.

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. – 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. – Steven Sharif

• There will be legendary cosmetics that are only achievable in-game that will never be offered in the cosmetic shop.

The most grand looking cosmetics will be from in-game achievment only. – Steven Sharif

• There will not be recolors or material swaps on the monthly cosmetics as a means to populate in-game achievements.
  • There will be variants of the monthly cosmetics for Неигровые персонажи and Монстры.
  • Component pieces of cosmetic armor may be reused in other in-game achievable gear sets.

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. – Steven Sharif

• Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures (Pets and Ездовые животные) may exist in the wild.

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! – Sarah Flanagan

• Cosmetics can be used by all races but there may be slight variations to make them work with the body builds of each race.

• There will not be mascot looking/furry cosmetics.

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. – 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. – 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.

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. – Margaret Krohn

• Cosmetics are not tradeable with other players but can be reassigned to other characters (alts) within the same account.

Cosmetic store

Ashes of Creation магазин косметики.

Будут легендарные косметические предметы, которые можно заработать и получить в игре с помощью игровых систем, но это потребует значительных усилий и работы; и эта косметика будет наравне с косметикой, предлагаемой на рынке... Это дает компании дополнительный доход, чтобы мы могли продолжать финансировать разработку контента и преодолевать разрыв, который не имеет какой-либо механики pay-to-win. – Steven Sharif

Магазин косметики позволяет игрокам покупать косметику для использования в Ashes of Creation. Косметический магазин предлагает товары в ограниченном количестве и в ограниченное время, чтобы помочь поддерживать развитие игры.

• Косметика как с точки зрения количества, так и с точки зрения качества, достижима с помощью внутриигровых средств.
• Ничто в косметическом магазине не даёт значительное преимущество над игроками не осуществлявших игровых покупок pay to win.

Ничто в нашем магазине никогда не будет платным, поскольку мы считаем, что эта практика сильно вредит жанру MMORPG..

• Магазин косметики предложит разнообразный выбор неповторимых образов.

Я хочу поощрить покупки в косметическом магазине для поддерживаемости дополнений которые мы задумали, так как мы не берём единоразовую плату за игру. Я хочу поощрить это предлагая ограниченные предметы: ограниченные по времени и количеству, так чтобы при их покупке вы были уверены, что они не появятся позже в каком-либо другом качестве. Однако, я хочу убедиться что сравнимые косметические предметы, как по качеству, так и по количеству будут доступны посредством выполнения внутриигровых достижений. Потраченные время и усилия должны радовать результатами – Steven Sharif

• Все предметы из косметического магазина будут недоступны для торговли. Для косметических предметов не будет предусмотрено механизма передачи в дар.

Я не хочу, чтобы косметические предметы, которые можно купить на рынке, можно было передавать... потому что это своего рода перевод денег за потенциально что-то в игре. – Steven Sharif

Skins

Cinderhorn Steer pre-order pack cosmetic mount skin.

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. – Steven Sharif

Accessories/armor, Buildings, Караваны, Ездовые животные, Pets, and Корабли sold in the cosmetic store are skins.

• Skins are cosmetic items that do not grant the user any benefit.

• Skins are only be able to be applied to things that have already been earned, crafted or found within Ashes of Creation.
  • Certain skins require specific items or item tiers have been achieved in-game before they can be used.

Owning cosmetics does not guarantee the acquisition of the item the cosmetic can be used on. Players must still achieve the corresponding item/building. – Steven Sharif

• The lore on store cosmetics is flavor text.

• Caravan skins change the appearance of an in-game mount and in-game caravan that are hooked up to each other.
  • The caravan and mount skin components are not able to be utilized separately.

• The best skins will be in-game achievable.

The best skins will be in-game achievable (obviously “best” is subjective, so I’d say the most ornate and detailed/unique). – Steven Sharif
