endless clothing tonic
Those endless tonics are new. We used to have something in the game called “Town Clothes”, which were relaxed, non-armor looks for our characters. Back on April 15th, many of our Town Clothes got converted into tonics as a quick fix for issues they would have had making them work with the new wardrobe.
Unfortunately, ANet did a slipshod rush-job on them, and they wound up paying out a lot of refunds to the Town Clothing owners who didn’t like the results.
There are MANY different sets… COMMON, ORNATE, CASUAL, RIDING, etc. I probably have most of them and could model them for you on various races. But the MAIN problem you’ll find is that they use weird color schemes based on the RACE of the character who uses it, so it can surprise you. For example, I have a GW2 “Dragon Logo Shirt” Tonic. White T-shirt with the GW2 logo, Khaki short-shorts, and bright red and black boots on my Human female. Thpppt! Really weird combination.
Just buy an ENDLESS COMMON CLOTHING TONIC and see for yourself if you want to explore the others. It’ll only set you back a couple of coppers. The Common Clothing used to be free to every new character, and will probably be the most color controlled. Keep in mind, these are TONICS. You can’t dye anything, and you can’t mix and match anything. What they look like is what they will always look like.
If you REALLY want to see more after trying that out, tell me what Race/Sex and which Tonic. I can use my extra character slot to create anything I don’t already play, and I’ll get back to you when I can.

Here are all the ones I have. I know what I think of them, but you need to judge for yourself. Taste is a matter of taste.
Remember that these are TONICS. They last 15 minutes. If you go through a portal, it comes off. If you get into combat it comes off. (You can Costume Brawl with them, but they have no skills themselves. You will have to have your own Brawl Toy). You can’t add or remove any pieces of the costume. You can’t change the dye colors. What you see here is what you get.
The first picture is the Dragon Emblem Tonic. You can’t get it… they are Account Bound and were special giveaways (mostly in Germany, I’m told). I just thought I’d show you the crazy dye job on the boots that I told you about.
The LAST picture is what I am doing nowadays for my “Town Clothes”. Whenever I want to kick back in town and relax in something other than combat gear, that is my new look. It isn’t a Tonic; it is made up of creatively combined armor pieces.
Enjoy!

Thank you so much! Now i know not to buy any of them xD i thought they are nice since the prices of some of these are more than 20gold.
You came to the same conclusion most everybody else did. ANet took some nice pieces of clothing, and assembled them in some pretty ugly ways. Then they made them into TONICS instead of OUTFITS, so they can’t even by dyed to preference.
Like I said, the Town Clothes were too much work for ANet to have ready in time for the Wardrobe roll-out, so they did a quick-fix and wound up paying out a lot of refunds because of it.

It’s really a pity. Town Clothes were never broadly popular, but the tonic versions are just terrible. I get the changes to the outfit system, and I’m generally all right with it, but why make Town Clothes into tonics instead of outfits? Is anyone happy with the tonic versions?
