[2022] The Tip of the Spear

Military might. The projection of power. The Aelan Empire’s golden age saw the kingdom span the continent of Vandagar from shore to shore. Through well-organized martial armies and an unparalleled naval force, the humans of Aela forged the largest nation in Verran history. The Kaelar, the progenitor of that once great Aelan kingdom, seek to reclaim their former glory during Verra’s reconstruction.

The Tip of the Spear cosmetic add-ons will be available in the Ashes of Creation shop from August 10, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific until September 7, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Don’t forget that Thunder at the Gate addons will be removed on August 10, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific when the new cosmetics swap over.

You can read what Margaret Krohn (our Community Marketing Lead) has said on this here

What Margaret said still remains true.

I'll add this to Margaret's statement 😉:
The freehold system interacts with a lot of other systems within Ashes of Creation. Many of the systems involved in such an ambitious MMORPG such as this one create a web of interactions with one another. The decisions the design team makes with the Freehold system will affect many other systems and decisions down the line, so they really want to make sure they get it right.

We are much further along in this process than we were several months ago, and we really hope to have an answer for you soon!

Regardless, you can rest assured that we have your back. We hear you, and if you're displeased with the design decision regarding freehold cosmetics, we will make it right ^_^

I'd like to add clarification for the Field Marshal’s Command Accessory Cosmetic Skin:

This cosmetic item, when applied, will affect both the shoulder and back slots ^_^
