How to Get Costumes in Fate of the Empress

To get new costumes in Fate of the Empress, collect design blueprints from Attire Foray, earn court outfits by passing rank promotion exams, exchange currencies in activity shops, or buy featured sets in the Mall. Once you acquire a blueprint, assemble the required raw fabrics to craft the pieces directly inside your Wardrobe.

Your immediate next step is to clear your highest accessible stage in Attire Foray daily to ensure a steady supply of designs and base crafting textiles.

Attire Foray and Wardrobe Crafting

Crafting inside the Wardrobe interface is the primary free-to-play method for acquiring new outfits. You can craft full sets or individual pieces, including hairstyles, robes, and accessories.

1. Clear Attire Foray stages: Attire Foray drops pattern designs alongside crafting textiles such as satin, silk, embroidery thread, and dye. Progressing deeper into Attire Foray unlocks higher-tier blueprints.
2. Collect required textiles: Each outfit requires a specific recipe design and an exact count of raw materials. Because blueprints cannot be substituted, recipe acquisition acts as the primary bottleneck for wardrobe expansion.
3. Craft in the Wardrobe: Open the Wardrobe menu, select the desired unlocked piece, and confirm crafting once all material thresholds are met.

Promotions and Main Storyline Milestones

Advancing through the imperial court awards complete, permanent costume sets at no crafting or currency cost.

• Promotion Exams: Passing official promotion trials automatically unlocks rank-specific court attire. Prioritize meeting promotion prerequisites—such as character Might and merit points—to unlock these guaranteed sets early.
• Main Story Quests: Progressing through key story chapters grants historical outfits and decorative accessories directly to your inventory.

Activity Shops and Token Exchanges

Non-premium currencies earned from daily multiplayer and competitive modes can be traded for cosmetic designs and apparel.

• Guild Shop: Active guild members earn Guild Contribution by completing guild quests, submitting daily donations, and attending evening banquets. Spend this contribution in the Guild Shop on rotating crafting patterns and exclusive accessories.
• Pageants and Beauty Contests: Competing in wardrobe-matching events awards fashion tokens that can be redeemed for exclusive designs unavailable in standard stage drops.
• Arena Shop: PvP honor tokens can occasionally be exchanged for decorative items and combat-themed cosmetic patterns.

Mall and Event Pavilions

The Mall and limited-time Pavilions offer the highest-rarity ensembles, which carry higher base stat values:

• Mall Purchases: The Mall sells select costume sets for fixed amounts of Bound or Unbound Ingots. This provides a direct purchase path without randomized outcomes.
• Event Pavilions: Seasonal gacha banners require pull tickets or Ingots. If you choose to spend on Pavilions, ensure you have banked enough currency to complete the full set, as incomplete sets miss out on passive set bonuses.

Costume Might and Set Bonuses

Every costume piece you own permanently adds passive Charm and Might to your account, even when you are not actively wearing it. Completing an entire ensemble activates resonance set bonuses that grant party-wide attribute boosts. When allocating crafting materials, focus on finishing whole sets to secure these bonuses rather than crafting isolated pieces across multiple collections.
