# Costumes

1. **What is a Costume?**
   * A Costume is an item used to customize your Character’s appearance.
   * When equipped, it visually replaces the corresponding Gear piece with the Costume version.
     * Costumes do not affect Gear stats.
   * They can be obtained from Costume Boxes.

2. **What are Costume Pieces?**
   * Costume Pieces can be acquired through the Secret [Shop](/game-system/shop.md) or by disassembling Costumes.
     * Disassembling a Costume grants 1 Costume Piece.
   * Collect 15 Costume Pieces to exchange for a random Costume Box.
