For me I take fashion scrolls serious, almost too serious. I find myself changing my color combos outfits & costume almost every time I login on all characters. This ritual happens before I start anything! Trials group is porting in...sorry you gotta give me 5 minutes...buddies want to go to Cyrodiil...give me 5, I need to get my arena gladiator on point...Oh you want to go node farming...gotta give me 5 i need to get my rice hat on...these scenarios go on and on...
How many of you out there have this disease?

Kiralyn2000✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Outfits or crafted motifs, I don't change all that often - I pick a look that feels 'right' for the character (this is what multiple characters are for! )
Costumes.... those characters change around a bit as circumstanced warrant (like during New Life, characters doing the performance-type dailies switch to something appropriate)1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Most of my characters wear costumes.
A couple wear outfits.
I'll change my costume/outfit to something festive for some events and holidays.
Once I find something I like for the character, I rarely change its main outfit/costume because outfit slots are too much money and the cost to change can cost quit a bit of gold that I rather save for other thingsEdited by Katahdin on February 4, 2019 5:30PMBeta tester November 20132 -
whitecrow✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭Rarely. I'm hooked on the Grim Harlequin style for my main. I just love it so much, and it suits her as far as I imagine her personality. Sometimes I'll alternate light and medium for the chest piece, but that's all.
I briefly experimented with other motifs, but never liked any of them as much. Not that they aren't nice but they didn't feel "right" for her.
Periodically I change the color scheme to match whichever monster arms set I am using. If I'm using Troll King I'll use a brown and green "natural" coloration; if I'm using Shadowrend I go with purple and grey.
I haven't settled on a look for my two other characters as they're fairly new and still acquiring gear/sets.2 -

✭✭I have a few motif pieces that several of my 'toons wear because I like the look.
Many of my 'toons wear the High Rock Pioneer outfit.
I only collect/buy motifs now so I can do master-writs.
ETA: And only on my main crafter, I sell all the 2nds.

My rule is, one outfit at the station which I name #Something Adventurer. This is my armour for when I go questing, or dungeons, or basically anywhere that isn't within the safety of a city.
I have a casual outfit for the race I play, which is worn in homes and the city whilst shopping, and I use my Summerset start clothes for crafting at stations.In-game username: Un1korn | Happy member of the PCNA UESP guild (Resident Daggerfall Covenant enjoyer) | Main & basically only character: Crucian Vulpin, Imperial Dragonknight of the Daggerfall Covenant, and Undaunted Bulwark (I tank) | Mountain bike enjoyer and vulpine appreciator | If you know me from PCEU: No | To ZOS: THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BRING MY HORSE INTO BATTLE!2 -

✭Just now and then. Maybe quarterly will I change the look of a character. Often times it's because of a holiday event. Sometimes I just want a fresh look or I get a new mount or something so I change my look to match the mount better.

✭✭✭Maybe every couple of weeks or so for a whole outfit change, and costumes more often depending on my mood and what I feel like looking at.
On a more yearly basis I will often change a whole character's look and/or build.RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend, my Shining Light. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.2 -
Starlock✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭If we're talking changing outfits using the style system that was designed as a massive gold sink? Almost never... because they implemented it as a massive gold sink. That, plus the outrageous price of outfit slots was easily the biggest anger point for me in ESO that year. And it's ticking me off again this year as Zenimax caves to the demands of min-maxers yet completely ignores the 30+ page thread complaining about the outfit system.1 -
theskymoves✭✭✭✭Motif > never. I customized my weapon appearance to my liking via the outfit system last autumn and have no reason to change it.
Costume > frequently. I rotate through a half dozen or so costumes and am constantly trying out new dye schemes.

It's probably because it is working how they designed it. As for prices of crownstore items, that is probably another department.0 -
xan4silkb14_ESO✭✭✭✭I generally change my motif the old fashioned way. I craft equipment in the motif I want to use and accept whatever motif is on any equipment I buy or have farmed. I've begun to experiment with making my PvP characters have a certain look.2

This is what I'm trying to achieve with an outfit, so if anything comes out that gets me closer, I make the change. Otherwise, most of my characters have a stable outfit or costume, that at most gets re-dyed.
So far, she has the Fang Lair Heavy top, and the rest is still in flux. We do have a snow bear to ride, but are disappointed that it has a non-negotiable saddle. The Eyepatch too, but the hairstyles are a bit lacking. The long boots in the various costumes don't come as separate pieces, or we could get closer to the one below (Photoshopped, of course)

✭I have outfits for every zone I visit. I created one for Murkmire, a nice and practical leather costume, but changed it after a couple of days. My new idea is wearing something local - and now I have my Argonian outfit! Need a fancy Elder Argonian stave to make the look complete0 -
Danikat✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Not very often.
None of my characters are above CP160, and most are still below level 50 so they're changing their actual armour frequently, often using drops and quest rewards and periodically a crafted set. Their outfit (I only have 1 because I think slots are over-priced) is the combination I think suits them best from the motifs I currently have and I switch to that whenever their actual gear is ugly or I get bored with it. That only gets updated when I get new motifs I want to use, or when I think a new combination will suit them more.
But I also have 20 costumes (and counting!) and I use those for variety. My characters will rarely wear their armour in town or at home, they'll switch to regular clothes instead (for example the evening dress, pirate sash and bandolier (the one with the shirt), Runmare casual wear, or the graht-climbers active wear, depending on character and location). I'll put them in mages guild robes if they're working for the guild, a costume that looks like heavy armour if they're working directly with an army, the thieves guild costume if I don't want them to be noticed (I always dye that one in dull, dark colours), and so on.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

BretonMage✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭I do like Fashion Scrolls! Love playing with the outfit and costume system, it's one of the few ways I can have fun in ESO without the stress of worrying about DPS and survivability, or the tedium of mat farming. Having said that, there are only a few motif styles I really like that I change between every few days or weeks. I wear costumes from time to time (every week? every few days maybe?) when I feel like looking a little more dressy or less like a mage/adventurer.1 -
