The Dying of the Light
Standing against the heralds of corruption, the Lightpact once carried the hopes of all Verrans on their shoulders. Their flames would ultimately be dashed on the rocks of betrayal and destruction. Corruption, death, and evil now grasp and consume the light that once led the way. With the re-emergence of the Divine Gates, will the beacon of faith be set ablaze once more?
The Dying of the Light cosmetic add-ons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from October 6, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until November 3, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Don’t forget that The Coliseum’s Favored addons will be removed on October 6, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

I just really, really wish we could get some clarification on those freehold skins soon. What are we buying exactly? The rest make sense, but a light house? Can we place it inland? Coastal only? Does it light up the area? What function does the building serve? Is it instead of the house on the freehold? I mean, that would be cool to live in a light house and all. Where, what, why?
SOLD!

It looks a bit ratty but it doesn't mention its condition in the description.
If its like new I'll buy one!
Same with the ship. The sails look unkempt. Is it a 'salvage' too, or in pristine condition?
Can we get a non-soiled Lightpact cape? Please? /me puppy eyes
Knight. Now that has a nice ring to it. Sent out on quest by the Queen herself, poor devils.
Good name for a class, eh, @Steven Sharif ?

HORROR THEME FOR HALLOWEEN SEASON:
- freehold made of a dark green ivy covered black stone gothic tower with a fire on the roof we can climb up and hang out on next to, set in a haunted forest graveyard surrounding the tower
- black wolf mount with a massive tail and yellow glowing eyes, and shadow animated trail effects behind him
- grim reaper type shadow ship with a tombstone throne on it, and armored with tombstones around the edges
- form fitting tight torn black reaper outfit for female character, and torn reaper cloak for males
- black spider pet, or skeleton fox
Costumes as costumes I don't have an issue with.
But furry armor? Please no.
That phoenix emblem on the cloak sold me ;p
If you all keep putting out amazing cosmetics like this, ill be broke before the game even comes out =( and then wont be able to afford internet bill to play =*(
Keep up the awesome work guys!
Can the armor be dyed? Like the yellow highlights be dayed a different color.
I too am wondering if the light shining could be dyed? I would love to see it in blue, red, green, or even purple.
I'm wondering if the skeleton bit is a racial skin
No! For @pyreal and @Trachta :
One aspect of the game is that the "Cash Shop" - which is purely cosmetic in AoC - will purposefully NOT be the best-looking variation of an armor set. I mean, "best-looking" is relative - but the idea is to *offer* good-looking sets you can cosmetically apply to in-game items to replace their appearance; the so-called "best-looking" sets are all looted/crafted/otherwise obtained by in-game activity.
Unfortunately (or fortunately - depending on how you look at it), they've already made it clear that there will not be such conventions as dye packs/re-color kits. There will, however, be variations in-game that will feature different colors, slightly-different designs on the same base-set, and the ability to mix-and-match armor sets to customize your toon.
So all the previous armor sets from the pre-orders will be in the game as actual armor but have some variations that make them different?
Yes. However, I'm not sure about the exclusive skins from the Kickstarter packs etc. I would assume some of those costumes won't be in any other form.
Yes, which is a good thing. The effort that went into making the models won't be a one month only thing. Variations of the model will be available in game, but not this specific one. Not sure how far that goes, if its just colors or a little more modeling on these.
if I understand correctly they basically died cover everyone retreat ?
and they said the perfect pre order pack doesn't exist
even the lore for this pack is the best they made yet and probably will ever make

I assume it is part of the costume because the Angel and Demon Skins also have physical changes to the character model. I could be wrong though, would be nice for clarification
Those are considered racial skins, they apply directly to the character and don't affect armor. So you can use those then place an armor cosmetic on top. I'd honestly find it weird if the skeletal elements are part of the armor, it will definitely dampen my personal interest, that's for sure.
However, the Ebon Omen mount also changes the skin of the mount to add guts and glory or mystical and maimed. I find the descriptions and the product information to lack any real substance. I often have to wait until we see concepts in the dev updates and then I either cast the old purchases aside or accept I made a good choice.
We're continuing to work with our design team to provide details on what type of freehold building each cosmetic would cover, for both past and future items!
Good condition, used, low miles, one-owner
