Rift Cosmetic Clothing In this section, we take a look at the new Cosmetic Items for sale through the Cosmetic vendors that are located in the Bullroarer Skirmish camps.  In order to find them, set the “Filter by Profile” drop-down menu to read “Rift Cosmetic Clothing”.  These new items include a cloak, a top hat, a fisherman’s backpack and the Rift helms! All of these items are wearable by all classes (even the Rift Helms) but are not purchasable with the existing Campaign Marks.  It looks like with the new skirmish “Rift Rescue” we will also be obtaining a new Campaign, and along with it a new Campaign Mark, the Lefnuilan Campaign Mark.  This campaign currently only contains “Rift Rescue”, but I would assume that there will be future Skirmishes that will fall into this campaign released as Volume 3’s books are released.

Kaelin and Lassie Today’s guide is the Woman Skirmish Soldier race’s cosmetic traits.  Again, I would like to thank Kaelin from my kinship, The Council of the Secret Fire for all of his help with this post.  He actually had all of the cosmetics available for the Elf-maiden (as well as others which will be seen in future posts) and was gracious enough to allow me to take screenshots of all the cosmetics despite the cost of constantly switching traits; not to mention all the Skirmish and Campaign marks it cost him.  Thanks Kaelin!

Also, if you would like to help with this project, I am currently looking for screenshots of the following Hobbit-lass outfits for next week:

Redeem Marks It was brought up in a previous post’s comments by  Korrath that if you did not want to purchase cosmetic items you could go ahead and redeem them for Skirmish Marks, which is completely true.  In order to do this, go to the Curiosities Vendor and set the “Filter by Profile” dropdown menu to “Redeem Marks”.  You will be then be presented with the following filtered list of items which can be in turn be redeemed for more Skirmish Marks.

However, before you go bartering away all your different marks there are some things that you should be aware of first:

Kaelin and Lassie Skirmish Soldiers are a very customizable component of skirmishes.  They have quite a few skills, traits, and other components that can be increased, swapped, and customized to create a very viable and reliable companion.  However, they are also quite customizable when it comes to their looks as well.  There are a total of seven different “races” that you can choose your soldier to become, and each race has 19 to 20 different cosmetic traits can be used to change the soldier’s hair style, hair color, and clothes.  Each cosmetic costs 1 specific Campaign Mark and 77 Skirmish Marks and can be purchased from a Cosmetics vendor at any of the Skirmish Camps.

The following table consists of the different cosmetics available for the Elf-maiden soldier race.  I would like to thank Kaelin from my kinship, The Council of the Secret Fire for all of his help with this post.  He actually had all of the cosmetics available for the Elf-maiden (as well as others which will be seen in future posts) and was gracious enough to allow me to take screenshots of all the cosmetics despite the cost of constantly switching traits; not to mention all the Skirmish and Campaign marks it cost him.  Thanks Kaelin!

In this section, we take a look at the Cosmetic Items for sale through the Cosmetic vendors that are located in the Skirmish camps.  In order to find them, set the “Filter by Profile” drop-down menu to read “Cosmetic Items”.  These items include cloaks, hats, backpacks and a shovel!  Personally, these are the items that I’m excited about.  The backpacks and the hats seem a lot more exciting in my opinion.  Especially the Makeshift Ranger Mask, which I think we’ll see a ton of people running around with in the future.  I personally am in love with the cosmetic items and I think that they will offer a great way for me to start customizing all my different characters.

*Note: To see where there specific Campaign (Special) marks drop, see the previous post on cosmetic rewards.

Skirmish Rewards – Part 1: Cosmetic Clothing

Cosmetic Clothing One of the more fun rewards (or as Goldenstar says, the only rewards worth having) are the Cosmetic Clothing items that can be obtained from running Skirmishes.  The rewards covered in this post can be purchased from the Cosmetics vendors located in all the Skirmish camps and vary from hauberks, to boots, to dresses, to tunic and pant combinations.  In order to find them, set the “Filter by Profile” drop-down menu to read “Cosmetic Clothing” as seen in the picture above.

Each reward requires a combination of both regular Skirmish Marks and Campaign Marks.  Campaign Marks, by design, drop off of both bosses and Lieutenants; however it has been stated that encounters “…are your primary source of campaign marks, though they won’t drop every time.”   Also, only certain Skirmish instances drop certain Campaign Marks, so if you are going after a certain item it’s important that you are running the correct Skirmishes.
