Clothing Tonics Now Convertible to OUTFITS!!!

You can find the Asura merchant in Lion's Arch next to the Traders Post. This is probably my favorite feature in this patch.

I still don't get where to purchase tonics or directly the item.

Now all you need are clothing tonics to turn into outfits. A somewhat different situation.

You can buy some of the tonics at the TP under Other and Misc. They used to be purchased with gems exclusively a long time ago.

Ahh finally :D

The long wait is over! I can't believe it actually happened, but YEEESSS!Gaile, please tell everyone you bump into in the office that this is a fantastic Wintersday gift. :heart:

Fingers crossed that the outfits will come out to the gem store soon.

Yes I'd love to have the tonics available from the gem store because they are overpriced at the moment on the TP.

I'm glad they finally addressed this. Having them as tonics was a very bad solution. That said, I don't see them in the outfits panel, and they are not available for purchase. Hopefully there are short term plans to resolve this.

Before the Outfits existed, they sold "city clothes" in the gem store, but then they gave me the tonic ... the years went by and I never thought they would come back in the form of Outfits ... I had Endless Casual Clothing Tonic and I think I destroyed it or I sold it (I do not remember, it happened a long time ago) ... the fact is that at the time I bought something with gems and now I do not have it. It would be unfair then for me to put back the same design for gems but now to unlock a new Outfits.

Is there any way to review the entire history of an account and based on that automatically unlock the design if you had already purchased it several years ago? and I think the city design should be free or already unlocked, because in the beginning it was like a "gift".

I don't think they would because I would be hopping onto that bandwagon for my Khaki shorts and Casual Hoodie that I used to have.... I'm sure plenty of people would. That's a lot of work

The NPC to purchase the outfits from is in the BLTP area in Lion's Arch.

be warned tho, last i checked some tonics were up to 900 gold........

I was really happy about this change. :D I never understood why they made some town clothes into tonics to begin with. Apart from hooking up the dye channels it seems like it was the same amount of work as turning them into outfits but the end result was something far less useful. Now I finally have my town clothes back.

(Although it does make it even more frustrating that all outfits share the same dyes, because each time I get a new one it makes it harder to find a dye scheme that looks good on all of them.)

Support can check your account history to see what you've had, and they might be able to restore any town clothes you used to have, or just unlock the outfit directly. But when town clothes were changed to outfits or tonics they gave everyone who had purchased them the opportunity for a refund, all you had to do was ask for it (and you got to keep the new version too). So it's possible they might say you've already been compensated fairly (especially if you got the gems refunded and then sold the tonic) and it would be unfair to give you the outfit for free.

But if you do want to try and get it back then contact Support. They're the only ones who can do it, and the worst they can do is say no.

I agree that the basic town clothes outfit should be free for everyone though, since it used to be given to everyone. At the moment it's not too much of an issue because that tonic only costs 40c (or 9 silver if you pick buy instantly) and there's probably thousands of them in the game in addition to the ones currently listed (I've got 8 spare, after I used 1 to unlock the outfit). But that situation won't last forever and it would be unfair if new players ended up spending a lot of gold to unlock something that used to be free.

I also think it'd be beneficial for Anet. I've been saying for years they should have made at least the default town clothes into an outfit and unlock it for free. Part of the reason for that is at the moment you can completely ignore outfits unless you've already decided to spend money on one. Whereas if everyone had a free outfit it'd give everyone a reason to check out that tab, get used to the idea of having a 2nd set of clothing to switch to instantly etc. and they might end up deciding to buy others, which they might never have done if they could just forget they exist.

That's quite the gold sink.

Thank you very much for this. Truly appreciated.

How do you convert a tonic into an outfit?-edit- I found him, the Black Lion Trader [merchant] in the trading post in LA, not where the weapons are sold

Thank you for letting me choose my colors, again! As of today, main character is back to wearing her GW2 t-shirt. Yay!

So basically unless you have one of the old gemstore purchased ones, they are still unachieveable for the poor, since all but common are hundreds of gold on TP. but if you have an old one you can sell it for hundreds of gold!

Lol, more limited quantity items for TP barons to Jack the prices on and gouge players for profit.

Truly congrats to those who had bought them before this update though.

Is there a way to get the Dragon Emblem Shirt/Endless Dragon Emblem Clothing Tonic?

I don't think so. If I remember correctly the town clothes version was given away at some conventions before GW2 was released, and the tonic it got changed into was account bound. So unless you can find a 5 year old code to get the town clothes and convert it to a tonic and then to an outfit you're out of luck.

I wish they would stop burying items like that on their digital vaults. I've got a leg skin that looks like a capri. I wish I could find a T-Shirt like top skin and sneaker skin to go with it to create a look for one of my characters.

Some are avaible through TP but prices are way too high.Probably in the next months we will se a way to get them ( gold sink probably ).

Now they just need a way to convert all endless tonics into part of your Hero’s panel.

Now we just need these as armor skins :D
