    Default Very flattered, can someone explain further?



    I'm very flattered.

    Sadly, she wouldn't accept Mirrored Items so I'm guessing only store bought glammored items? Does this mean we won't be getting the recently converted glammored armor kits in the store for awhile? I was hoping by fall but if we're getting this ...trade-in... mechanic, it doesn't seem likely. It appears as if you wanted to give the people who received unwanted cosmetics from Gold DD an opportunity to trade them in for something they might like better.

    Any further details would be appreciated.

    Cool HAH well done.

    Grats on becoming an NPC, ey.

    I wonder if this means they've considered your cosmetics... one can only hope.

    Heheheh I knew you'd find her eventually

    She takes cosmetics earned from Daily Dice and turns them into Glamerdust, which can then be turned into other cosmetic equipment. So, say you've had your eye on a Thinking Cap but every time you get the Jackpot on Daily Dice it's not that, you can turn a few different cosmetics into the one you want. Essentially, this is a way to open up the cosmetics found in Daily Dice so it's not completely impossible to get the style that you're looking for.

    Well that's cool.

    Any word yet on when the newly converted glammored cosmetics will be in the DDO store? I don't gamble with astral shards but I'm willing to spend some money on points for the styles I want. I'd even accept if they were only available at certain times of the year so if you wanted to outright buy them you had narrow windows to do so.

    So that means we'll find this in the list? Can you dig around and see if you all still have this?

    Did some digging and that image is from Aion Online, the original upload to our forum domain being in 2014 in this thread: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...942-New-Outfit

    It does look spiffy, though.

    Actually... it was my son running around the dojo on my computer that found her. He came running into the kitchen to tell me there was someone else with my name.

    Does she happen to give out bags that hold cosmetic items?

    I applaud the initiative, and the desire to help make players happy, but I am curious as to how big a problem this is. I've hit the jackpot on daily dice maybe 4 times out of many many many many MANY rolls, but never had a cosmetic out of it. How long would it take to turn a "few different" ones into the one you want? Or am I just incredibly unlucky and most people have been pulling cosmetics regularly from daily dice?

    Default Is there a way to get cosmetics to turn into dust ?

    Is there a giver of cosmetic garments or a free dice roll til we get some? i'd like to test it out (By the way Excellent contributions to the forums -- congrats Aeloenwy to being in DDO!) as well as look at some of the dice-only-rolled armor appearances.

    Try buying some from the DDO store. I know the Heavy Violet Crest cosmetic armor works, although a word of warning: you can't currently turn in multiples of the same armor so you have to close out of the window and speak with Aeleonwy again for every transaction.

    As a side note, I got overly excited because I thought the rest of the old armor kits were coming back in cosmetic form

    Well the selection doesn't include all the armor kits that have ever existed so I can presume (I think) that some things still have yet to be converted to the BTA glamored system. However it does include some things that are not available in the store that many people may wish to acquire such as the Thinking Cap, Verdant and Red Crest of Wave, Robe of Wintry Ice, etc.

    Hopefully, the converted armor kits eventually make it to the store. With the selection I see available here there are four I wish to buy. If the rest of the BTC armor kits get converted there will likely be more I will want to purchase. But I won't gamble with astral shards and I'm hardly going to buy 16 armor kits @495 each to get the four I want. (16kits = 160 glamour dust @40 glamour dust per kit in this trader) That would be 7920 pts all together or 1980 pts per armor kit I do want. That's a bit on the crazy-talk side considering its far more expensive than most adventure packs or even premium races. I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant for this sort of trading but they probably would be very happy if people chose to use it this way.

    All in all this trader will probably be a great boon to VIPs and those that spend shards for Gold DD rolls, especially those that didn't quite like their cosmetic windfall but for people that prefer a la carte purchasing we may have to wait awhile for the store to be updated with the newly converted armor kits. *le sigh*

    Does anyone know how many Cosmetic Item Dohickeys each broken down Cosmetic Item generates? Aelonwy refuses to tell me!
