Costumes

==Introduction to Costumes:==
Costume is a very important game mechanic that not only allows your fox to look badass, but also offer huge boost to stats and skills.
:Costumes are the highest priority for your Gems spending (along with skill rune slots).
:You would always want to buy them at 50% discount. That discount is earned by completing the quest specified in the buying menu.
All the costumes given stats do stack (e.g. Attack +400, Defense +150, etc.) across different weapons as well as of the same weapon whether that costume is equipped (or not) for the weapon that is currently being used -- stats from all purchased costumes are also permanent and shall be part of your base combat power regardless of weapon being used. 
Examples:
* Novice's Greatsword stats (Attack +200, Attack Speed +5%) shall also be applied even to Staff / Bow / Dagger.
* All stats of both Archer's bow and Hunting bow shall be applied collectively to Bow (of course to Greatsword / Staff / Dagger as well). 
Of course there is limitation when it comes to costumes boosting specific weapon-skills (e.g. Multi-slash range +25%, Floating blade +1, etc.) on which it will only benefit the weapon of that skill. Please don't expect an "Excalibur" crashing down when using Staff / Bow / Dagger.
 * This is why you should prioritize buying all the offensive A-S costumes across all weapons and the skill exclusive SS costumes for the weapon you intend to main first.
 * Rank A-S costumes are cheaper and have better return-of-investment (ROI), followed by SS rank costumes.
 * One of the end-game goal is to collect every costume available in the game.
==Order/priority costumes per class (SS rating):==
 First things first: Again, every Costume stacks, so no matter what the order is, you will get all the stats and effect bonuses in the end. This short guide is only for reference just in case you don't know what SS costumes to buy first.
 Second of all: This list assumes you are using V2 skills as well as mono-weapon strategy. Since you need to do that and commit to your weapon of choice to use V2 skills up to Skill 4 (S4-V2) (restriction imposed by Monster Card availability).
GreatSword: 
* Helmet of Knights Bestia (ONLY APPLICABLE FOR V2 FLOATING BLADES) > Dragonbone Claymore = Dragonbone Helmet > Dragonbone Armor > Everything else
Staff: 
* Ancient Arc Mage's Staff = Staff of Onmyoji = Mask of Plague Doctor > Robe of Plague Doctor > Everything else
Bow: 
* Solar Deity's Bow = Admiral's Bow = Eagle Feather Chief's Bow > Sun Deity Set > Everything else
Dagger: 
* Soul Collector's Set > Rogue Ninja's Double Mask > Everything else

==Spring costumes per class (SSS rating):==
Let's say that you have been playing for a few weeks now and have collected most A-SS rating costumes for your chosen or main class/weapon (if not all), and wanted to invest in SSS Spring costumes which can give you unparalleled set-effect on top of the awesome passive stats each piece brings.
Then, here are the priority for each class/weapon (buy first > buy next):
* Greatsword: Chick Swordsman set (3/3) > Floral Swordsman set (3/3)
* Staff: Cherry Blossom Wizard set (3/3) > Deep Forest Fairy set (3/3)
* Bow: Honeybee Archer set (3/3) > Cherry Blossom Archer set (3/3)
* Dagger: Ladybug Poisoner set (3/3) > Cherry Blossom Assassin set (3/3)
For any case you have already collected the 2 SSS Costume sets for your main class/weapon and further wishes to spend more gems towards other SSS Costumes. 
Then, buy per priority:
# Second chosen class/weapon SSS costume sets
# All other SSS weapon costumes
# All remaining SSS costumes (optional)

==Costume Tracker:==
This is a helpful tool for tracking acquired fox costumes, as well as, for coming up with the rough estimate on when you can expect completion of collecting all costumes based on your daily/month Gems earnings.
