Vanguard's Hammer
Vanguard's Hammer was a cosmetic accessory mount barding (saddle) in a pre-order pack.[1]
For those entrusted with the critical task of charging across enemy lines on beastback, riders are granted use of this specialized barding. The frame is constructed of the selfsame alloy that composes the armor of the royal guard. As such, it is supremely tough, yet striking to the eye. Few sights are as glorious as a maul of purity and purpose smashing through the flank of a dumbstruck enemy force. In peacetime, it is even more resplendent, its silken drapes billowing proudly in the wind.[1]

Cosmetic store
The Cosmetic store enables players to purchase Cosmetics for use in Ashes of Creation.[4] The cosmetic store offers limited time, limited quantity items to help sustain game development.[5]
- Equitable cosmetics, both from a quantity and quality standpoint, are achievable through in-game means.[5]
- Nothing in the cosmetic store will be pay to win.[6]
Nothing in our shop will ever be pay to win as we believe this practice greatly hurts the MMORPG genre.[6]
- Cash shop cosmetics will offer a diverse selection of unique looks.[7]
I want to incentivize purchase in the cosmetic shop for sustainability of what expansions we have intended, since we are not a box cost. I want to incentivize purchase by offering limited items: limited time, limited quantity, so you have confidence that when you purchase them, they won't be offered later on in some other way.[5] – Steven Sharif
- All cosmetic store items will be non-tradeable.[8] There will be no gifting mechanism for cosmetic items.[9]
I don't want cosmetic items that can be purchased from the market to be transferable... because it is in a way a transfer of money for potentially something in-game.[9] – Steven Sharif
