# Cosmetics and the Sticky Situations Shop

Some of what you wear changes nothing about how you play. It just makes you look unmistakably like you. Here is the full catalog: what drops, how rare it is, and what it costs at the shop that trades it, **Sticky Situations**.

## If it was not in character creation, someone found it

When you [make your soul](/gluebook/gluniverse-make-your-horse) you pick a small, free wardrobe: a couple of coats, a few manes, your hair, skin and boots. Every other look in the world, **33 of them**, is a chase item. Nobody hands you one and no vendor stocks it new. It **drops**, from a kill or a shipwreck chest out on [the Shore](/gluebook/gluniverse-four-edges), and lands in your trough as a real, tradeable item. Equip it from your **Build** panel, the wardrobe screen where you also put on gear, and it becomes a permanent part of your look for good. Leave it in the trough and it stays something you can sell or trade, duplicates included.

## Three rarities

Every dropped look carries a rarity, and the color is the same wherever you see it in the world:

<div class="cos-legend">
<span class="cos-legend-item"><span class="cos-legend-dot" style="background:#6fbf73"></span>Uncommon</span>
<span class="cos-legend-item"><span class="cos-legend-dot" style="background:#5e8fd4"></span>Rare</span>
<span class="cos-legend-item"><span class="cos-legend-dot" style="background:#d4a35f"></span>Legendary</span>
</div>

**8 coats, 5 manes, 6 saddle colors and 14 hairstyles** make the 33, split **7 uncommon, 17 rare and 9 legendary**.

## Who can wear what

A **coat, mane, saddle or boots** is a horse-soul look, and a human soul can only window shop it. **Hair** is a human-soul look, and a horse soul cannot wear it. **Skin** (4 shades) is creation only, and so are the two plain **boots** finishes: nobody has ever found one. The exception is a trio of flashy **trail boots** sold only at the shop, covered below. A saddle color additionally needs the saddle itself, the riding key you [craft at the workshop](/gluebook/gluniverse-the-brick-economy), before it goes on. No saddle, no saddle color.

Crafting your first saddle grants you the **plain gold** saddle look, and only that one. The six coloured saddles are chase items like every other look: they drop, and they re-skin a saddle you already own.

## How a drop happens

An ordinary kill in the wild rolls three independent chances, checked legendary first so a lucky roll never doubles up: **0.008% legendary, 0.04% rare, 0.15% uncommon**. The roll only ever draws looks **your soul can wear**, so nothing you find is wasted. Some animals pay more: **wolves and stags pay double** all three, the Dead Forest's **Dark Wolf pays triple**, and the **White Wolf pays six times**, about one cosmetic per 84 kills. A shipwreck chest on [the Shore](/gluebook/gluniverse-four-edges) has a **10% chance** to roll a drop at all.

**[Lil Knacker](/gluebook/gluniverse-knackers-pass) is the other source.** He rolls a look for **each participant** rather than for whoever landed the killing blow, on **1 kill in 10**. That is one more reason to walk up Knacker's Pass in a group. The glue blob and the glue golem, which carry richer guarantees still, are **not in the live world**.

Split across the looks that share a tier, the odds per specific look on an ordinary kill:

| Tier | Chance per kill | Per specific horse look | Per specific hairstyle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | 0.15% | 0.0375% | 0.05% |
| Rare | 0.04% | 0.0044% | 0.005% |
| Legendary | 0.008% | 0.0013% | 0.0027% |

## Sticky Situations

Sticky Situations is the shop in [Glueburg](/gluebook/gluniverse-glueburg) that trades every one of these looks. It shares its order book with the [Gloo Exchange](/gluebook/gluniverse-economy), but a look never lists there, only at the shop door.

The house shelf carries **every look**, priced by tier, and stock never refills:

| Tier | House stock, per look | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | 12 | 430,000 gloo (about $5) |
| Rare | 5 | 2,150,000 gloo (about $25) |
| Legendary | 2 | 8,600,000 gloo (about $100) |

**Sold out is forever.** Once a look's slots sell, drops are the only way another copy ever enters the world. Every house sale pays the town treasury in full. Every player to player resale pays the treasury a **5% cut** and prints on the tape like a real trade, up to a **10,000,000 gloo** price ceiling.

Two small things worth knowing before you list. Your cosmetic listings come out of the **same 24 open orders** you get on [the Exchange](/gluebook/gluniverse-economy), so a wall of listings costs you trading slots. And when a listing and the house both have a look at the same price, the buyer's gloo goes to the **player**, not the house.

The shop is **open**: buy from the house shelf while it lasts, list looks you own, and resell player to player at the tape price. Wearing a look you own makes it a permanent part of your soul, for good.

## Shop only: the boots and the shades

Five looks never drop at all. The shop stocks them as one time runs, sold out forever, drops never make more.

| Look | Rarity | Price | Shop stock | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Big Smoke boots | Uncommon | ₲430,000 | 21 | a heavy smoke running trail |
| Blood boots | Rare | ₲2,150,000 | 12 | blood dirt hoofprints |
| Fire boots | Legendary | ₲8,600,000 | 5 | a lingering flame trail |
| Sunglasses | Rare | ₲2,150,000 | 5 | +5 stamina, worn on the face |
| Mog Sunglasses | Legendary | ₲8,600,000 | 2 | +3% move speed, viper lenses |

The boots are horse looks. The shades fit both souls, and the face is exclusive: one face accessory at a time, and a skimask hides your hair while it is on.

## The skimasks, claimed not bought

Eight **skimask** colourways, bone through violet, belong to holders of the **Noctavia Core** collection. Claim them at **Sticky Situations** in town, not out on the strip: a verified holder claims up to **3**, one colour each, forever per wallet. They never drop, never sit on a shelf, and each carries the balaclava's +3% move speed. The plain black balaclava itself is the dev badge and cannot be claimed at all.

## The catalog

Every dropped look, with its art, perk and price, lives on [the catalog page](/gluebook/gluniverse-cosmetics-catalog).
