TIL we can unlock hundreds of hair styles and adornments and change them at will! UwU

Athan1 · May 2021

After 1.5k hours of gameplay I accidentally discovered that we can unlock all hair styles and all adornments, including accessories and facial hair/horns, for a mere 2k crowns! I've spent so much time deciding my character's hairstyles etc, then considering appearance change tokens just to tweak with my hair or beard etc... and then I find out I can unlock everything forever! Wow. This opens up so many possibilities in terms of customization, such as changing your trim. All of this stuff is not worth buying appearance change tokens and is a big QoL improvement!

How come nobody ever mentions this? No guide, no forum topic I've read, nothing! Is it in fear of the price rising? It's the most important upgrade in the game imo

If it doesn't affect dps, I don't think it's very important. But I'm glad people are having fun.

It's not 'everything' it's the options from character creation.

Still other ones are bought individually or through crown stuff.

Been around for a long time as far as I know, I bought it shortly after I started playing in 2018 with my ESO+ crowns.

All of those hairstyles are included for free in the character selection screen initially, but require an additional microtransaction fee to re-gain access to exact same cosmetics from collections after making new character.

Well played, ZOS.

💸 💸

(I bought it too a while back as well)

This made me smile

A must have item, for sure. I wish there were hair dyes in the game that could be purchased/changed with gold. A salon-type thing.

Not all, some hair styles and adornments are race locked in character creator.

I kind of regret getting it now though. Because so many nicer hairs have been released since then, and it's a pain to scroll through the basic ones to find the premium ones that I want instead.

You can quickslot hairstyles if you wish to switch between your favorites

Changing my 'trim'? Hmm...

I think most players either don't know about it or assume everyone who cares knows about it. I know I've mentioned it a few times on this forum, but only when it's relevant to the discussion.

I really like it though. In most games I don't bother changing my character's hair at all because it's not worth the price and/or hassle of doing it (which often involves going to a specific NPC or buying an consumable item) but in this game I'll do things like put a long haired character's hair into a pony tail when going into a delve and let it down once they're out, then put it into a fancier style when they're in town selling their loot because once you've bought the unlock pack it's just a few clicks to change it.

I got the accessory pack too and I don't use it as often but I still find it useful when I want to dress my characters up to look a bit different to usual. The only reason I haven't bought the markings pack is because I normally use scars or tattoos for my characters and I'd find it weird to keep changing them.

That surprised me. The khajiit and argonian styles are entirely seperate (even when using the unlock pack) but I didn't realise each human or elven race only gets a sub-set of the total selection to choose from at character creation.

Was some of the first things I bought many years ago and is probably one of my most used thing. Being able to change hair, markings etc on the fly is great. You also get access to styles, markings, and adornment the race you picked didn't have access to at the creator and you can layer them.
For example, in the CC, you get a single slider that gives you a couple of facial hairs, major adornments and minor adornments. But if you unlock them all, you can use one of each and layer those cosmetics up. No need to pick between a beard and an eyepatch, you can have both. Same can your khajiit have jewelry and some ear tuffs.

I had a character at the start that had pigtails, then I race changed her I was really sad I couldn't have them any more. (Imperial to High Elf I think) I was sooo happy when they bought out the style parlour and I could get them back!

It was fun reading through this topic and seeing a lot of names posting back then that continue to post today. 😊

Techwolf_Lupindo · January 21

I am lost here. I look in the crown store and can't find anything relating to a one time purshise of changing character looks.

whitecrow · January 21

I regret buying those packs as I never use the styles as I thought I would and it's a pain to scroll through all of them finding the ones I really like.
