1500 crowns per outfit slot, per character. Not account wide.

Same price as a whole additional character slot.

Do you have free outfit slot for every character or just one for the account?

One free each character.

But also keep in mind weapon dying takes up an outfit slot, plus gold to dye. So if you only wanted to dye your weapon(s), you're going to burn up that free slot.

We have recently removed a few non-constructive and insulting comments. Please be sure to keep this discussion civil. Thank you for your understanding.

Did the utterly indefensible way they implemented Appearance Change teach you people nothing?

The moment they decided that actual crafting would have no place in the Outfit system, it was apparent that good game design was not a factor here, only selling Crowns. Making the gold cost so high increases the temptation to use Crowns.

If the designers were people who in any way deserved to have their jobs, then the Outfit system would have revitalized crafting rather than driving the final nail into its coffin. But then, that wasn't what the playerbase wanted. Players wanted the system just handed to them without effort. Well, you can't expect something like that for free, especially from ZOS. And shame on you guys for wanting that in the first place.

And yet, still people complain of the cost. Who cares about the cost? The fact is most people will get one outfit they like and stick with it....how is this any different than spending hundreds of thousands of gold on furnishings? The game has many gold sinks...its not like its real money unless you use the tokens. THIS IS COSMETIC, if you arent willing to pay the gold, dont use it...I am sure you have plenty of costumes you can continue to wear.

because its not that different from Tantalus's punishment by Zeus. "see all these awesome things, JUST within your reach? yeah, not really, that is unless you spend RL CASH!."

and here is the thing. i understand that some things are luxuries. and its ok for them to not be easy to get. I also understand the need to monetize MMO's. servers are not maintained for free. to use another metaphor though.. this is the straw that broke the camel's back. these costs are even worse the houses, in part because of the disparity between outfit change cost in crowns vs gold. and before this gets misconstrued.. no I'm not asking for crown cost to be higher. i'm asking for gold cost to be more reasonable.

Honestly still seems to cheap to me. Should cost more gold, we need the gold sinks. I find it hard to spend my gold anymore.

bethsheba · February 2018

I played around with the system. It's ok. I will stick with my purchased costumes, thanks.

Personal pet peeve: You now have to hide your helmet either in the Outfit system for the outfit or your default armor, OR if you are wearing a costume you go to collections to equip a "no helmet" in Hats.
So it went from a one toggle selection to doing it in two places. Not sure I understand the logic in that. Hoping the addon community can bypass them both with a Hotkey bindable setting, or if ZoS is reading this, please patch that to make it easier for the casual and RP players to easily be able to put on or remove a helmet.

Thank you!

Just to clarify. Can I still dye my gear like I normally do pre-Dragon Bones free of cost?

And yup those prices are pretty ridiculous. I can imagine someone with like 8 characters spending 500K+ on their initial outfits alone.

And the cost issues finally get the chance to rear their ugly head on live. Just as a friendly reminder to everyone :

We don't need more gold sinks, as evidenced by the complete lack of inflation on the market. You personally failing to spend gold is a problem with you, not the economy.
These gold costs are a completely indefensible diversion from every other cosmetic system in the game. Never before have we had a per-use cost associated with a cosmetic system. It is very clearly a change for the worse.
These new costs most affect the people who are least able to pay for them and who, ironically, have most been clamorign for the system. People who spend their time gathering the motifs are less likely to have the gold to actually use them in this system.
Literally the only reason there's a gold cost at all is because some fool thought they could monetize an "outfit change token". Well I hope you're reading this and I hope you're ashamed of yourself. There are a dozen other ways you could have chosen to monetize this and you chose the one that *** the players most. Absolutely shame on you. Get good.

It is completely ridiculous that the people playing (and by extension, buying) all the content have to jump through all these extra hoops to use this "free" system. It is completely ridiculous to take one of the best-crafted cosmetic systems in the industry and *** it up so much with a monetization strategy that flies in the face of every cosmetic system you've done previously. Get rid of the gold costs.

This right here. Would seem obvious to anyone who plays the game.

One way to have a lot of gold is to not waste it on the outfit system. Like most things they come up with they let the sale department dump on it.
