Beauty Shop
Character customization mid-game. Change your hair, face, even your look entirely. A quality-of-life feature from modern MMOs - but one we chose not to include.
Why We Removed It
Classic L2 had appearance potions for hair style, face, and hair color. The Beauty Shop adds new options on top - modern hairstyles and faces that don’t match the original art style.
We kept the classic options. Removed the ones that look out of place.
The Essence Implementation
Essence tied the Beauty Shop to L-Coins:
| Customization | Premium Cost | Adena Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Hair | 4 tickets | Reset only (1M) |
| Premium Hair | 7 tickets | Reset only (1M) |
| Special Hair | - | 15,000,000 |
| Premium Face | 1 ticket | Not available |
Some options required premium currency with no Adena alternative. A nice feature turned into another monetization vector.
Arbitrary Restrictions
| Race | Male Access | Female Access |
|---|---|---|
| Kamael | Yes | No |
| Ertheia | No | Yes |
Some race/gender combinations couldn’t use the shop at all. A system that didn’t even work for everyone.
On L2Cruma, characters look like Lineage 2. Classic potions, classic aesthetics. The game you remember.
