    Default Cosmetic Acheivement Awards

    So if the title isn't enough of a suggestion...

    Create some new and unique cosmetic items that can be earned as a reward for certain achievements. I cannot stress 'new and unique' enough, they have to be worthy of the achievement, not like this Crown of Fire junk.

    Examples:
    • Add a new Tier to each Monster Manual creature type. Award a Hat, the design of which is based on the type of creature.
    • A Hat to go with Epic Completionist. With One feather. Each repeat completion, you get a new hat with an extra feather.
    • An outfit for Heroic Completionist. Style to match the Epic Completionist Hat (they are a set). Increasing number of medals on the chest for each iteration of Heroic Completionist.
    • Raid Master. A hat for completing a Raid on Elite, at level. Different hat for each Raid.


    I'm sure there are plenty of other opportunities to expand on this idea.


    Oh yeah, convert the founders helm to a cosmetic item too.

    Good ideas, sir.

    I'm inspired by the recent glowing eyes cosmetic... I have some ideas - I'm not sure they can all be pigeon-holed into existing cosmetics but here it goes:

    -Devil/Tiefling horns (cosemetic helm) for maxing out your monster manual hunter and exterminator for all types of devils
    -Clawed hands (weapon cosmetic for handwraps) an award for monster maxing fiendish lions and or all animal types?
    -An ACTUAL crown with flaming graphics (cosmetic helm) for farming champs
    -Angel Wings (cosmetic cape? outfit maybe) feathered wings for maximizing yugoloth favor; lore based wings of a fallen archon
    -Bunny Ears (helm) maybe a very rare drop in an obscure raid to get more people playing; it sounds silly but you watch!
    -Spiked really evil looking armor - think Sauron LotR - Maybe for gobs of Epic Greensteel ingredients later this year; could be tiered: basic ingredients would only get you the skin, smalls would get you a version with some plating, medium gets you more spikes and larges get you, I don't know, blades, a darkness graphic effect, maybe a wicked tattered cape like Spawn's...

    I could give more but you know

    Thumbs up

    any cosmetic idea is good idea. +1

    the trick is bopping devs upside-head just hard enough to get their attention.

    I think this would a great thing to give players a reason to do things without involving power creep of any kind. And it anything that would give us options for our appearance and improve the visual diversity would be great.

    I like the idea. I think cosmetics are great and any way to earn some unique ones would be awesome.
