Dark Allegiances

There lie no shortage of aspirants looking to change their lot, but what is conviction without strength? As chance would have it, beings exist in this world willing to barter with desperate souls for a taste of their unnatural might. In the end, no price is too great for the opportunity to forge one's own destiny.

The Dark Allegiances cosmetic addons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from March 4, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific and will remain available for the foreseeable future. Don’t forget that the Silver Sheens and Gleaming Dreams addons will be removed on March 4, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

    I really love this whole set! Fantastic job! @MargaretKrohn Man, I hope I can save up enough to get them all... Nicely done @LieutenantToast for selecting the theme set. Just my cup of tea or coffee (DARK ROAST!) : )

    Great work @MargaretKrohn well put together.

    To each their own. I am sure we'll have other sets that you like. =P

    Thanks for appreciating them though! <3

    I see a lot of similarities to your characters back-story in the item descriptions. This has @Nagash written all over it.

    It does have a lot in common, it must have been a sign ^^

    I knew I would eventually buy into the Voyager Plus pack (I wanted the alpha 2 key). I was just waiting for the right cosmetic set to come along. As soon as I saw this one, I knew my wallet was about to get lighter.
    Awesome job to all involved with this design! Can't wait to see it in-game.

    This pack is the best thing that i have ever seen o.O. I hope it will look exactly like that in the game.
    The only thing missing that i would like is a helmet with a skull visor on it. I imagine the visor would come down when ever you enter combat, it would look so cool.... And of course i bought the Voyager Plus pack.

    Aww, appreciate that you like this set!

    A few people have requested more face-covering helmets, so maybe you'll see more of those in a future pack, or as in-game rewards. ;)

    Heyoo...I'm just now seeing this...and it is awesome! Great job to all those involved!

    I'm really digging the "Face of Sorrows" helmet and pauldrons style. My question is....aside from this cosmetic skin, will there be actual gear pieces/sets in the game that have a similar vibe?

    Cheers!

    So I just bought a Wayfarer's Pack just because I wanted to support the game and get testing access. It came with the cloak from this set. It is absolutely wonderful work! However, I am unenthused about this particular aesthetic or the lore behind it. Just not my thing and doesn't fit with the character I want to play. I do hope it can be sold somehow, or else exchanged for a skin I'd prefer. Not immediately, of course, but next year or something when the marketing value of the time limit on these sets has expired (I've worked in marketing, I totally get how this stuff works ;)). I have after all purchased a cloak skin. I would hope I can exchange it for a product of equivalent value, as one would at a real life store.

    Sorry, that is not currently a feature, nor have they given any indication that it will be.

    New to the community so i'm not sure how you normally operate but i see an announcement that the sale of this package is being extended. I assume it is to cut back on some of the extra work these new packages cause. Would you consider re-releasing some of the older packages during this time or does that come with it's own set of headaches?
