Cosmetics are purely visual — they don't affect stats, drops, or battles. You unlock them and equip them through the Wardrobe at spawn.
Wardrobe
The Wardrobe NPC is at spawn (you'll find it in the cosmetics/services row). Right-click it to open your owned cosmetics, equip them, and switch outfits.
There are two Wardrobe NPCs in the spawn area — both open the same wardrobe, they're just placed for convenience.
Cosmetic categories
| Category | What it is |
|---|---|
| Hats | Headwear shown on top of your character — Pikachu Hat, Pokémon Cap, etc. |
| Backpacks | Visual backpacks worn on your back. Auto-hides while you're mounted. |
| Balloons | Floating accessories that drift above and behind your character. |
| Item skins | Custom skins for items in your main hand (e.g. a Honedge sword skin). |
| Offhand items | A purely visual item shown in your offhand slot. |
| Sprays | Painted decals you can stamp into the world. |
| Particles | Aura and trail particle effects that follow your character. |
| Stand-ins | A posed look-alike wearing your skin that stays behind for a minute after you log off — five poses (Elden Ring, Epic Statue, Sleep, Astral, Beach). |
The current particle catalogue is 21 effects — 10 auras (Sparkle Aura, Heart Halo, End Rod Orbit, Enchant Spiral, Twin Flame Spiral, Soul Wisp, Happy Aura, Cherry Cloud, Nautilus Orbit, Starlight Aura) and 11 trails, among them two tiers of Flame Trail plus Cloud, Crit, Soul Fire, Note, Electric Spark, Witch, Totem and Comet Trail.

How to get cosmetics
Cosmetics are bought with Park Gems (not Pokédollars — see Currencies). There are two shops:
- The Cosmetics Boutique — open it via the Cosmetics NPC at spawn or the
/cosmeticsshopcommand. It uses a rotating stock model (items cycle in and out) and currently carries a small starter pair, the Pikachu Hat and Pokémon Cap, at 10 Park Gems each. - The main cosmetics shop — run
/cosmeticsand open its Shop tab for the fuller catalogue, including the full 91-hat roster. Prices are set by rarity: Common 10, Uncommon 20, Rare 30, Epic 50 Park Gems.
/cosmetics shop has the fuller catalogue to browse any time.Equipping
Open the Wardrobe, pick a category, and click an item to equip or unequip. You can wear one item from each category at the same time (one hat, one backpack, one trail, etc.). Equipped cosmetics persist across sessions.
Backpacks auto-hide while you're mounted on a Pokémon — they reappear when you dismount.
Permissions
Each cosmetic is gated by a permission node. The format is dawncosmetics.<type>.<id> — for example, dawncosmetics.hat.pikachu_hat for the Pikachu Hat, or dawncosmetics.particle.flame_trail for the Flame Trail particle.
You don't need to know the nodes day-to-day — the boutique grants the right one when you buy. Event rewards and rank perks can also include cosmetics.
