Pinfeather Aviator
Pinfeather Aviator was a pet cosmetic skin in a pre-order pack.[1]
In the cerulean sky high above the ice-capped mountains of the Northland where the icy downslope winds are their most turbulent is where the Pinfeather Aviator makes its home. The appearance of these one-eyed scavengers of carrion are considered an ill omen for adventurers scaling the perilous Northland peaks. Most often they appear suddenly, circling above potential prey like demonic vultures. The creatures await the single misstep or accidental loss of balance that will spell tragedy for the climber, but provide a feast for the Aviator and its ravenous nestlings. The oily sheen of the Aviator’s plumage is presumed to be residue from the glacial tar pools where these birds of prey bathe their feathers. While the glaciers of the Northlands are home to these scavengers of the snow, these one-eyed vultures are not often sighted in their native habitat by those less destined to become their next meal.[1]

Cosmetics
Cosmetics provide a wide array of customization in Ashes of Creation.[4]
- There are no pay-to-win gameplay benefits from any purchasable items.[3][5]
- 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.[2]
- Types of cosmetics:
- Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[6][7] Cosmetics achievable in-game will be on-par, and in the case of legendary skins, even more elaborate than shop items.[8][9][3]
- 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.[7] – 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.[10] – Steven Sharif
- There will be legendary cosmetics that are only achievable in-game that will never be offered in the cosmetic shop.[8][9][3]
- The most grand looking cosmetics will be from in-game achievment only.[11] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be recolors or material swaps on the monthly cosmetics as a means to populate in-game achievements.[8]
- There will be variants of the monthly cosmetics for Неигровые персонажи and Монстры.[8][12]
- Component pieces of cosmetic armor may be reused in other in-game achievable gear sets.[8]
- 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.[8] – Steven Sharif
- Different variants of store purchased cosmetic creatures (Pets and Ездовые животные) may exist in the wild.[13][14]
- 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![13] – 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.[15][16]
- There will not be mascot looking/furry cosmetics.[17]
- 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.[8] – 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.[8] – 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.[18][19]
- 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.[20] – Margaret Krohn
- Cosmetics are not tradeable with other players but can be reassigned to other characters (alts) within the same account.[21][22]
Cosmetic store
Магазин косметики позволяет игрокам покупать косметику для использования в Ashes of Creation.[24] Косметический магазин предлагает товары в ограниченном количестве и в ограниченное время, чтобы помочь поддерживать развитие игры.[7]
- Косметика как с точки зрения количества, так и с точки зрения качества, достижима с помощью внутриигровых средств.[7]
- Ничто в косметическом магазине не даёт значительное преимущество над игроками не осуществлявших игровых покупок pay to win.[5]
Ничто в нашем магазине никогда не будет платным, поскольку мы считаем, что эта практика сильно вредит жанру MMORPG..[5]
- Магазин косметики предложит разнообразный выбор неповторимых образов.[10]
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[7] – Steven Sharif
- Все предметы из косметического магазина будут недоступны для торговли.[22] Для косметических предметов не будет предусмотрено механизма передачи в дар.[25]
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.[25] – Steven Sharif
