Wildstar allows a lot of customization in every aspect of the game. You can customize your house, mount, and even fortresses, but one customization most players sooner or later delve into is character customization. This is accomplished by equipping costume items through styles vendor. Style vendors are located in major cities and various other locations throughout Nexus. When you interact with the NPC it lets you equip a costume item into its appropriate slot and looks of that costume item will overwrite whatever item you are wearing in that slot (you keep the stats – only looks change). You are allowed to even equip items that are not costumes and have their looks show, but special costume items are the most fun. Here’s a list with screenshots of most of the available costumes in the game right now.
Raidin’ Costume Set
This costume set randomly drops from Boomboxes that people that beta tested the game got as reward for their testing efforts (and making Wildstar a better game). These items are currently the most expensive items you can find in the auction house. Their price ranges from 1-10 platinum, which is higher even than C.R.E.D.D. packages. When you look at the screenshot bellow it becomes apparent why this is the most sought after costume set in Wildstar at the moment.
Here’s an item list of all pieces individually: Raidin’ Costume Set
Omni-Plasmic Costume set
If you purchase the Deluxe version of the game, this set is one of the extra rewards you get.
Strain Costume set
We found this set using the Galaxy Library addon and it is the only other blue quality set that looks like it is in the game right now. I am not sure about the origin of this set so if any of you know how to get any of the pieces please tell us and we’ll update the article accordingly (with full credit).
Soldier’s Uniform
There are several costumes corresponding to your path. For Soldiers we have Soldier’s Uniform, Soldier Outfit single item costume, Soldier’s Combat set, and several pieces for only one slot that can’t really be considered a set. Pictured bellow is the Soldier’s Uniform set.
Settler’s Work set
Settlers get their costumes as well. Settler’s Work set consists of 6 items you can find listed here. There is also a single item called Settler’s Work Overalls but its looks are bland in comparison to the set. There is also a Settler’s Trusty costume set. If you visit the link and click on each individual item you can see what each item looks like. Here’s the settler’s Work set screenshot:
Scientist’s Lab Set
Scientists get the Lab set as well as the Scientist’s Rubber set, which is weird, because there are only three items in the set but there are other Scientist costume pieces that fit with the style, but are not named Scientist Rubber – like Scientist’s Research Pants. Here’s what Scientist’s Lab Costume set looks like:
Explorer’s Comfortable Set
Explorers get Explorer’s Polar costume set and single item costume piece Explorer Outfit. Explorer’s Comfortable Set seems to be the best looking one though (personal preference).
There are other various single item costumes that look awesome. If you visit the links you will also be able to see a screenshot of that item. Here they are: Squidora, Haunted Holocrypt, Tamolo’s Mask, Fluffy Hat of the Hero, Scruffy Hat of the Hero (these hats are purchasable at a costume vendor in major cities)
I hope you enjoyed our little Wildstar Costume Gallery and if you want us to post screenshots of more in-game costumes that we might have skipped in this article please feel free to let us know in the comments section bellow. Also, if you know of how to obtain any of the costumes above please let us know and we will add your findings to the article.
How come you’ve only shown 4 of the 8 Path sets? Exile and Dominion get different ones 🙂
You’re also missing the Highwayman’s set, which was a reward for beta testers. I can get you a SS if needed, just let me know.
The current system for costumes is idiotic. I don’t even have the option to go to a city yet and my tiny inventory is full of costumes that I can do nothing with. Why is the costume system not integrated into the character panel? Guild Wars 2 has a perfect example of this, so why does WildStar do it this way?
