Adding an alternative way to remove costume enchants

Just want to suggest if it’s possible to provide another option other than using Fashion Points to remove costume enchants? Maybe in the form of zeny, coins, or etc. Fashion Points take a while to accumulate and removing all enchants for a whole set will take up a lot of points which limits us to experiment with possible builds, combos or even just costumes…

Thank you!

I agree.
Getting the costume stone needed for a specific build is already heavily RNG- and time-gated when using fashion points.
The current system strongly discourages me from changing my costumes or trying new ones, at least for now.

I also agree. Removing costume enchants should cost zeny if anything just like cards.

Since decarding a costume stone cost 50 Fashion Point, i feel like make changing costume for people who likes to change their costume alot be a problem. since everytime u want to change costume, it feels like u losing a chance of getting another stone from the machine.

And Fashion Point is one of the currency that is timegated, which meant there is a limited amount u can get for a period of time, no matter what u do.
i would suggest to give additional option to pay the Price with Zeny,
considering decarding card only cost u 150k Zeny, why doesnt let the Stone getting discarded with 1mil Zeny or something like that.
Since if im in rush, and i dont have any points left, i can just farm zeny as soon as posible, but not the case with the Fashion Point, where i have to sit / play actively 2h30m (considering 10pts / 30min) to just change one piece my costume.

I agree with this. I feel like 50 points for removing the stones (per enchant too) limit creativity and makes it harder for people to experiment with different combos for stones…

Giving an alternative option or removing the price altogether should be ideal

I highly agree with making it either free or making it cost a small zeny fee.
Reasons are as follows:

  • it’s purely cosmetic: you don’t gain any stats you don’t already have, you merely swap your costume - a costume you already paid some kind of price for (be it crafting, exchanging, buying from players or via muh shop).
  • Part of the monetization of this server is by players buying costumes/costume-boxes. However, the current system discourages/penalizes actually swapping your costumes which I imagine not being helpful to generate purchases.
  • Fashion Points are a very sparse currency and - despite their name - are needed for highly non-cosmetic but functional parts of building your character. Even after many months of active playing you will most likely still be missing crucial key-costume stones to finalize just one character build. This makes spending them on something purely cosmetic very wasteful. This is unfortunate as a big part of RO is socializing and expressing yourself through character customizations like costumes.
