Motifs will now be account wide

Created costumes will be PER CHARACTER. EACH character gets ONE free costume slot.

You can dye weapons

You can dye all three slots on EACH piece

You can pick light/medium/heavy and mix and match styles AND weights

You can preview styles UNKNOWN to see if you like it.

It costs gold based on the rarity of the motif. For example high elf is 100 per piece and telvanni would be 1000 per piece.

You CAN NOT change your axe to a dagger or bow to a staff.

    Motifs are account wide only for outfit system right? One would still need to learn a motif on a character to actually craft in that motif I assume.

    Didn't they say one-handed weapons were interchangable though? But you can't make a dagger look like a bow or staff.

    Also you can have an outfit that is, f.ex. JUST a helmet.

    Also also, PTS Monday!

    You should pay gold only for unknown motif pieces, or for already known too?

    Based on what they said, motifs being account wide is only in the outfit system.

    Question for @ZOS_GinaBruno and team: Will we have access to Crown Store and Contraband Clothing styles -- eventually, if not right away? There's a lot of components in those two equip/appearance groupings that don't fall into a particular motif, and it would be nice to mix and match those components in with what we've learned from motif styles.

    Yeah one handed weapons are interchangeable with 1 handed weapons, 2 handed weapons (greatsword, maul, and battleaxe only) are interchangeable as well.

    I'm pretty sure that is the case, though I would certainly like the crown exclusive motifs to be account wide.

    Based on what they said, motifs being account wide is only in the outfit system.

    From what I understand, it works like this:

    Once you learn a piece of a motif (including the whole motif, for the older ones or Crown ones), you unlock the account-wide ability to make the corresponding outfit piece with that style.

    Simple example:

    Character A knows literally every motif except Outlaw and Stalhrim.

    Character B only knows Outlaw Staves, but no other pieces of the motif.

    Characters A and B can make outfit pieces in literally any motif, except Outlaw and Stalhrim, but can also make an outfit using Outlaw Staves. Character A, however, cannot craft an Outlaw Staff, nor could Character B craft anything except a staff in the Outlaw style.

    Great summary, @rhapsodious ... that was my understanding too.

    The costume system takes into account all the collective motif knowledge from all your characters. Motif knowledge for crafting purposes would not change.

    Yep. In fact, the exact quote was, "This is strictly motif based. For now."

    What if I have S&B on main bar and 2H on back and save that outfit style, then I swap the 2H for a Staff - would I need to create another outfit or edit the current one? I watched most of the stream but couldn't tell if you select all possible slot types while creating the outfit or just for the types equipped.

    Would guess there will be a main bar and back bar slot. Doesn't make sense otherwise

    I get that. But what I'm asking is - if I change a weapon type in a slot (2H to Stave, 2H to S&B, etc), would the new weapon in slot also have the style selected if it's different than the type/family selected for the original slot?

    Of course.

    You can leave any of the seven (7) armor costume slots blank on the template ... so that armor slot would not have a costume overlay when you apply the template.

    No.

    As noted above, only motif knowledge was confirmed for this Update. Monster sets and clothing could be a consideration for a later Update.

    As far as I could see on the tiny monitor they had on ESO Live, yes.

    When you switch to the back bar staff, the stave style you loaded into the template would appear.

    So does that mean you can't mix and match outfit and armour? So I couldn't have my monster set with all the other slots outfitted?

    They didn't go into those details on ESO Live ... we will have to test it on PTS come Monday. Hopefully yes.
