The Order of the Giantslayers

Verra is as deadly and wild as it is wondrous. Most cultured souls find themselves both prisoner and prey in this realm, constantly battling with hostile intruders and dangerous beasts as they seek to restore the cultures of their forebears. Although, there are some who aren’t interested in reclaiming lost civilizations, or forging new ones. There are those who roam these savage lands hunting the most deadly creatures they can find. Most regard them as foolhardy madmen, for who would be insane enough to stalk the largest and most ferocious beasts that Verra has to offer? None but the dauntless hunters of the Order of the Giantslayers!

The Order of the Giantslayers cosmetic add-ons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from September 7, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until October 12, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Don’t forget that Tip of the Spear addons will be removed on September 7, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

    Can you put on a different freehold skin for every building on your freehold? For example if i have 3 different building skins and 3 buildings on my plot, can i use 1 different cosmetic on each building, or are you limited to having one active skin per freehold?

    Hi all!

    If you're curious, The Grapoon, the Giantslayer Banded Armor, and all cosmetic items in these monthly packs will be cosmetic only and serve no functional purpose other than looking cool 😎

    This piece will likely be a back-appearance slot cosmetic item! ^_^

    As a reminder:
    All skin cosmetic items are cosmetic items only and do not grant the user any other benefit. The lore text is flavor text, and background of the creatures and items in the world of Verra. Costume cosmetic items do not include the weapons pictured.

    Hi, can you have this back slot cosmetic on, as well as a weapon cosmetic hanging on your back at the same time?

    I like this one. Does the highest tier include the actual game when it comes out?

    @Rando88 The game has no box cost, every package on the shop includes an amount of monthly game time though.

    The current highest pack level (voyager plus) includes 9 months of game time which begins to be consumed from the launch date of the game. (not during testing)


    I see. For some reason I thought it was buy to play with a subscription

    I picked up the armor cosmetic, because the spiked armor reminds me so much of a Dwarven Battlerager miniature I used in a tabletop campaign or two, and I can see my Dünir Dreadnought recklessly assaulting a foe 10x his size in this get up.

    This is a great question...but each building is a static element, so you'd think yes? It wouldn't require any additional development resources.

    I can understand why you can't mix cosmetic armor pieces, it's all one "skin"--it's not individual armor pieces. Surely your estate isn't one big art asset...

    I'm disappointed no one has answered this.

    Uh.. will there be giants?

    How big will they be (12ft or 35ft)?
    Will they change the environment as they move across the lands?
    Will there be giant settlements? giant caves?
    Will the size of giants be like fighting a boss everytime?
    Different types of giants per biome?

    Are these just concepts right now or are these in game assets already created? (will we get a preview soon?)

    Will there be the option to purchase just the outfit separately from the pack if we purchased any of this months packages? (would love an answer asap as this would reflect any changes in my purchase)


    Also this armour set reminds me of 2 things. Mandalorians and Maximus from The Gladiator. I like it.
