Dunewing Falcon

Dunewing Falcon was a cosmetic pet in a pre-order pack.[4]

The Dunewing Falcon pierces through the sandstorm to find its prey.[4]

Among the Vaelune’s many pursuits, hunting is especially popular. They use specialized beasts to great effect, including the Dunewing Falcon. A fierce bird of prey, its physiology is well-adapted to survive Verra's blistering deserts. Its eyes are keen, and can spot the slightest hint of movement - even creatures wriggling beneath the sands. Making its nest in the rocky dunes, its talons are sharp enough to carve out the arid stone necessary to make its home. Most striking, however, are its four massive wings. Even in the midst of a raging sandstorm, the Dunewing is able to maintain its airborne stability without much detriment. The Dunewing is an incredibly hardy bird and is valued by the Vaelune for its intelligence, allowing for more efficient training, and even the use of more complex commands.[1]

How the Vaelune originally came upon the Dunewing is a treasured story shared with wonder around the evening fire. A Vaelune caravan trekking through the desert was set upon by bandits. The travelers managed to slay their assailants, and though they had almost made their way through the sandy paths, the caravan had no choice but to abandon the majority of its goods in order to prioritize saving the wounded. They would simply have to return for the shipment after reaching their destination.[1]

How the Vaelune originally came upon the Dunewing is a treasured story shared with wonder around the evening fire. A Vaelune caravan trekking through the desert was set upon by bandits. The travelers managed to slay their assailants, and though they had almost made their way through the sandy paths, the caravan had no choice but to abandon the majority of its goods in order to prioritize saving the wounded. They would simply have to return for the shipment after reaching their destination.[1]

Days later, the merchants returned to the caravan with a heavy complement of bodyguards. The goods were a little worn from the rasping winds, but otherwise untouched - except there seemed to be a clattering coming from within the caravan. Fearing the worst, the caravan was quickly surrounded. The protective tarp was slowly pushed aside, and the Vaelune captain soon found himself staring down a rather large bird of prey, rummaging through the goods with its beak and talons. Part of the shipment contained some salted meat, and it seemed the aroma was strong enough to gain this creature’s attention.[1]

Many Vaelune have experience in hunting, but very few of the beasts they currently employed were acclimated to the harshness of the desert. Seeing this as a rare opportunity, the captain took it upon himself to try and gain the creature’s trust with some of the food in his pack. The falcon looked at the food, then shifted its unflinching gaze to the captain. It stared for quite a while, as if to take full measure of the man that stood before him. Then, the falcon steadily stepped forward and accepted the humble offering. Reassured, the captain and his men returned to the encampment with their new ally in tow.[1]

Since then, Vaelune hunters have cultivated these aerial stalkers, allowing them to more adeptly travel through the Verran deserts. In addition to their speed and ferocity, the Dunewing can be used to scout the surrounding shifting sands - trained to circle overhead if there are any possible threats, thus granting the Vaelune a far higher measure of awareness. Undeniably versatile, few creatures have risen in popularity quite as quickly as the Dunewing Falcon.[1]

Cosmetici

I Cosmetici offriranno una vasta gamma di modifiche in Ashes of Creation.[6]

Negozio di cosmetici

Ashes of Creation cosmetic store.[7]

There is going to be legendary cosmetics that can be earned and achieved in the game through the game systems, but that's going to take a significant amount of effort and work; and those cosmetics are going to be on-par with the cosmetics offered in the marketplace... What that does is it provides additional revenue to the company so that we can continue to fund the development of content as well and bridge the divide that not having a box cost would have and not having any pay-to-win mechanics whatsoever.[8]Steven Sharif

The Negozio di cosmetici enables players to purchase Cosmetici for use in Ashes of Creation.[9] The cosmetic store offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[10]

  • Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[10]
  • Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.[11]

Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.[11]

  • Cash shop cosmetics will offer a diverse selection of unique looks.[12]

I want to incentivize purchase in the cosmetic shop for sustainability of what expansions we have intended, since we are not a box cost. I want to incentivize purchase by offering limited items: limited time, limited quantity, so you have confidence that when you purchase them, they won't be offered later on in some other way.[10]Steven Sharif

  • All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.[13] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.[14]

I don't want cosmetic items that can be purchased from the market to be transferable... because it is in a way a transfer of money for potentially something in-game.[14]Steven Sharif

Skins

Cinderhorn Steer pre-order pack cosmetic mount skin.[15]

Providing these limited options that collectors out there like when it comes to achieving and/or purchasing cosmetics. It means something I think when players make that decision to purchase or they go through the rigorous portion of achieving those things in game that it is not just everywhere around them and becomes meaningless at that point.[16]Steven Sharif

Accessories/armor, Buildings, Caravan, Cavalcature, Pets, and Navi sold in the cosmetic store are skins.[17][18][19]

Owning cosmetics does not guarantee the acquisition of the item the cosmetic can be used on. Players must still achieve the corresponding item/building.[21]Steven Sharif
  • The lore on store cosmetics is flavor text.[20]
  • The best skins will be in-game achievable.[29]
The best skins will be in-game achievable (obviously “best” is subjective, so I’d say the most ornate and detailed/unique).[29]Steven Sharif
