[[File:Costumes.png|250px|right|Costumes]]
[[Costume]]s are decorative items that are equipped into a [[character]]'s costume slots to change their appearance. They are worn over a character's existing [[armor]], and do not affect any stats.

== Costume slots ==
[[File:Costume Slots Empty.jpg|thumb|The costume slots as they appear in the [[Inventory]] window.]]
Costume slots are located in your [[Inventory]] window, under the [[cape]] and [[weapon]] slots, making it possible to wear a [[festival hat]] and/or a costume, at the same time with your armor. Festive hats in your inventory prior to the [[Feedback:Game_updates/20091217|December 17th, 2009 update]] will still replace your [[headgear]], and not make use of the Costume Headpiece slot. Costume slots can only hold a costume, and/or a festival hat.

== Acquisition ==
* Costumes are available from the [http://store.guildwars.com Guild Wars Online Store]; once purchased, they become [[unlock]]ed for all characters on the [[account]] and can be acquired unlimited times from [[costume maker]]s with no additional cost.
* [[Festival hat]]s are available at many [[special event]]s. Previously acquired festival hats are acquired from [[festival hat maker]]s by paying a 10{{gold}} fee for each new hat made, as long as those hats have been shown to a hat maker first.

== Properties ==
All costumes share the same general properties, most notably that they are purely cosmetic: even though they have the appearance of armor, they will never offer any in-game advantages:
* Costumes will never have an [[armor rating]]. They cannot be upgraded, using [[rune]]s or [[insignia]]s.
* They cannot be [[salvage]]d for materials.
* They cannot be displayed during [[PvP]] combat.
* They can be [[dye]]d.

== Notes ==
[[File:Costume Inventory Cape Clipping.jpg|thumb|[[Cape]] [[clipping]] issue in Inventory window.]]

* All costumes can be dyed; however, only a few [[festival hat]]s can be dyed.
** Certain portions of the costumes will not change color when dyed. Some will accept dye, but will not change at all. See each costume page for specific details.
** Dye combinations can sometimes produce unexpected results. The [[Silver Dye]] used in combination has been found to have this effect the most.
* Costumes are not [[disguise]]s: players keep their profession-based [[emote]]s and [[Divine Aura]]s remain visible.
* Costume bodies, similarly to top and leg [[armor]], do affect the sound you do while walking.
** Any costume body will override the sound of the armor if shown.

{{bug|In the [[character selection screen]], costumes will not show unless the character has been played in that session, and you are returning to the character select screen, even when "Always Show" is turned on.}}

{{bug|Some characters may have "see through" parts during some animations.}}

{{bug|If both the costume and cape are set to "Always Show", they will both appear in the Inventory window, causing an evident clipping issue; however, this will never be visible to other players.}}

== Trivia ==
* The two costume inventory slots were added in the [[Feedback:Game_updates/20091217|December 17, 2009 update]], when existing festival hats were converted to costume headpieces from armor.
* The [[Feedback:Game updates/20110310|March 10, 2011 update]] fixed a bug that caused the character selection screen to display costumes with the wrong colors.
