How to Equip and Display Cosmetic Armor

Accessing the Cosmetic Inventory

To begin using visual gear, open your standard inventory screen in-game. Look for the small dedicated button added to your inventory window and click it. This action opens a separate cosmetic armor screen featuring four dedicated cosmetic slots aligned alongside your usual equipment layout.

Equipping Your Appearance Set

1. Ensure your primary armor slots hold your best defensive gear so you maintain full protection, enchantments, and durability.

2. Pick up the armor pieces you want to display visually and place them into the corresponding cosmetic slots (helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots).

3. Close the inventory window when you are finished.

Your character will now visibly show the gear placed in the cosmetic slots while retaining the complete defensive benefits of your functional armor underneath. Cosmetic armor is purely visual, meaning you can wear decorative or low-tier pieces without losing a single point of defense.
