No matter which area of Vvardenfell you want to explore, there’s no need to wear sackcloth and ashes with our latest additions to the Crown Store.

Ancestral Homage Formal Gown
bdeae8fd8b7bd19ce4c09a4093e3dbda.jpg
“There's nothing wrong with showing some healthy gray skin while paying homage to the Ancestors," says Voldsea Arvel about her stunning new formal gown. "The Ancestors won't mind, and your current incarnation deserves to be seen!"

The Ancestral Homage Formal Gown costume is now available on all platforms for 1,000 crowns.

Arvel's Ashland Attire
ea0708120c0a7444e716d5cb06321258.jpg
Though it also looks superb in a Great House drawing room, the outer layers of the Voldsea Arvel's Ashland Attire ensemble are of tightly-woven kresh fiber that just sheds ash and soot, so you can look like a lord even in an ash storm!

The Arvel's Ashland Attire costume is now available on all platforms for 1,000 crowns.

Amber Ash Hopper
bbb2f60fef3f21ea57a68fbe4d91b0a0.jpg
The perky Amber Ash Hopper is a favorite pet of Dunmer expatriates, as it's relatively low maintenance (it digs its own hole in the ground), and it reminds the Dark Elves of home on the slopes of Red Mountain.

The Amber Ash Hopper pet is now available on all platforms for 700 crowns.

    Yup. My Crowns are firmly locked in my pocket on these costumes if they take colors like no one at ZOS cares. I am out of characters that like grey and pastels. :smile:

    Alright alright, I'm going first.

    But just because I liked the default color scheme and because I have a bunch of sub crowns lying around since releases for direct purchase are slow. Don't get used to it :P

    Someone else get the male one, I don't like it on my female characters. I got the dress. Keep in mind I only have scrublord dyes.

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    To be fair, Daedric Red is kind of a tricky one, I should probably have used a different red. I don't have any really good reds, though.

    I'm trying it on my Argonian now, here's how Jode Red looks:

    @Incognitius not necessarily, Daedric Red is a special weird red that won't show up as a good red in certain lightings. A better test would be Ruby Throne Red but not a whole lot of people have that.I'd say that Magnus Setting Red and Dragonstar Red would be good tests, though, even though their secondary colors are like purple and junk.

    When testing dyes my go-to colors are
    • Legate Black (good substitute is Coldharbour Ash Black) : If it looks gray it will take ALL dyes poorly except the lightest shades. Easy test for trash-tier dye compatibility.
    • Ruby Throne Red (good substitute tends to be Magnus Setting or Dragonstar Red) : Easy test for god-tier dye compatibility. 100% of the costumes I've tested that take red well take all colors well.
    • Ophidian Jade : good greens are about as rare as good reds and take well to costumes with just as poor a frequency. Another important test color. No good substitutes for testing purposes.
    • Julianos White : Important because even some cloth-looking items just can't do white to save their life, for some reason. For some reason leather and certain cloth objects just aren't allowed to be white, even though that's not how it works in real life and certainly not how it should work in a game with magic costume paint.
    • Colossus Brass : new test object, closest thing we have to a rare-tier yellow. Other yellows are either more brown (like Dominion Yellow) or have weird other tints (Akatosh Scales Gold, Transliminal Violet)
    • Covenant Blue : Honestly this test color is complicated, because it's not actually blue. It's more purple. But if it shows up as especially purple then it's a good bet it's going to change other colors in undesirable ways as well. Good blues are hard to find still.

    @Abeille thanks for taking the hit!! You happen to have any of the above colors available for test? ^ ^;;;

    @Recremen I don't have any pvp or trial dyes :c

    Back on Gyda for more testing. I have only Coldharbour Ash, which I already posted and Covenant Blue:

    Thanks for all the pictures and info. Jode red already looks much better.

    I bought the male version for myself, but it seems I've been 'had' again. The silver isn't dye able. So if you're going for a gold colour scheme (as I was for this char), you're out of luck. xD

    Yes, @Abeille - thanks muchly.

    No, the Daedric Red isn't great, but at least it doesn't turn pink. Still not sure, but the pics helped - not writing it off yet. Thanks again.

    Oh, the "male" costume is good on a female character, and looks really nice with that Julianos White. Dyes can really make a huge difference. Wasn't considering it before, but I might end up picking it up. Thanks, @Incognitius !

    At least this dress dye's better than it's previous 2. I got stung on the 1st one and can't bring myself to buy the others. Though none of my girls are really 'dress' people.

    The male outfit though, I like how it looks on your girl. Might have to preview it and see if I like it. At least it takes dyes well.

    Oh wow, they really changed it up. The first one also lost the skirt.

    But, did you notice the date on that? Says 2015 in the lower right... so I guess this is what they did in those two years.
