Elder Scrolls Online Appearance and Race Change in Detail
Jul. 29, 2016Elder Scrolls Online Appearance and Race Change in Detail
Dedicated adventurers in theElder Scrolls Onlinewill be receiving a forthcoming update that will enable changes to appearance and race, which is quite a big new feature for players who are already deeply invested in their characters but interested in a cosmetic and/or racial do-over. We now have some details regarding how players makes these changes and how much they will cost.
Appearance Change Tokenswill now permit thetotal alteration of appearance, including but not limited to hair styles and colors, adornments, face and body markings, facial features, eye color, age, body and face shape, as well as voice and gender. One of these tokens can be purchased for 1000 crowns from theCrown Store.
Race Change Tokens doeverythingthe Appearance Change Tokens do, but add the option to change one character’s race to one available for that character and account. If you have the Explorer’s Pack you will be able to choose any race from any alliance. If not, you can choose any race from your chosen alliance. One of these tokens can be purchased from the Crown Store for 3000 crowns.
Tokens can only be used from the Character Select menu. When you click a token to use it, you’ll be taken to the game’s Style Parlor to make the changes you desire, but changes aren’t complete until you confirm it, allowing you to back out if you’ve had a change of heart.
The Style Parlor also gives you some choices for changing hair style, adornments, and markings as often as you like with items you have purchased, which can be accessed from your Collections menu under Appearance. These can all be used with many of your existing collectibles which is a nice touch. These will be lower priced items, starting at around 200 crowns and will vary in nature, with more to be added down the road. For players interested in taking advantage of several of these options right out of the gate, there will be several bundles offered to allow for some savings.
These new features along with costume dyeing and a base gamepatchwill all be included in Update 11 which release in conjunction with theShadows of the Hist DLC. The content reaches PC on August 1st, and PS4 and Xbox One on August 16th. There are few things an MMO player likes more than options for customization, and this update looks poised to deliver on that front. Planning on doing a new you? Let us know what you’ll be tweaking in the comments.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
Holy shit balls, Batman! At first, it seemed like a great thing, but at that price! With the way CP work, it might just be easier to power level a new character. That is insane. Then again the Hero armors, an appearance change item was like 2k, so I am not too surprised here.
I really wasn’t aware of the cost until I looked up the exchange rate on the PSN store and was like whoah. It must be to discourage rampant swapping.
its waaay overkill
honestly I’m surprised they’re doing it that way. Instead do 1000 to redo your character, then have “unique” options for crowns; like a special set of argonion spikes/etc for 200 crowns
it seems they would make more money that way and it is a super easy way to crank out pointless content that people would love to buy up
I feel like 3000 Crown to change your Race/Appearance is a bit overkill. Most EXPANSIONS are less than that…
