What is the Outfit System in the Elder Scrolls Online?
The Outfit System was added to the Elder Scrolls Online 2018 and is part of the base game, which means it is available for everyone.
With the Outfit System you can create your own outfits with the styles and outfit styles you have learned.
Like that you can change and customize the appearance of your equipped armor and weapons.
Where can I customize my Outfit?
To customize your Outfits you have visit any Outfit Station or Dye Stations of your choice.
Outfit Stations are found in almost all major cities in the Elder Scrolls Online.
Usually they are found close to other crafting stations.
Dye Stations have the same functionality as Outfit Stations
