Item Availability

Most equipment, items, and customization options are available for purchase year-round. However, in some cases, usually in conjunction with World Events, certain pieces of equipment, items, and customization options will be available only for a short period of time. During the 2014 Fall Festival, the staff introduced five categories of item availability to help alleviate user confusion about whether or not a particular item, quest, hairstyle, hair color, or skin would be available again in the future.

Limited Edition
Limited Edition items or customizations are available for a short period of time only. After this time frame, they may be Retired, or made Seasonal Edition items. If they are upgraded to Seasonal Edition, SOMETHING about them will change - either there will be small but noticeable art edits, or there will be a price change (a.k.a. a gold-only item becoming gem-only, or a gem-only item becoming more expensive).

List of current Limited Edition items
These items have not yet been upgraded to Seasonal Edition or Retired:
 * 2013 Holiday Hair Colors
 * 2013 Winter Wonderland Class Outfits
 * 2014 Pastel Hair Colors
 * 2014 Spring Fling Class Outfits
 * 2014 Summer Splash Class Outfits
 * 2014 Fall Festival Class Outfits

Seasonal Edition
Seasonal Edition items and some customization options are only available to purchase in a given time frame (e.g. the month of October), but recur in the same fixed season (e.g. every Fall Festival) once a year without being changed. For example, if you purchased only two of the Haunted Hair Colors by October 31st, you will have to wait until the next Fall Festival to purchase the rest.

Seasonal Edition items can be Retired, but there will be advance notice before this is the case. When available, Seasonal Edition items are specially marked.

List of current Seasonal Edition items:

 * Haunted Hair Colors (every Fall Festival)
 * Supernatural Skin Set (every Fall Festival)

Retired
If something is Retired, it means that the exact items or customizations will never be available again. Similar items or customizations may be released, but there will always be art differences.

List of Retired items:

 * 2013 Spooky Skins

Mystery
Mystery items are only available to subscribers and will never be available to non-subscribers.

Always Available
If an item does not belong to any of the above categories, it should be considered always available. This is the default category for most equipment pieces, quests, items, backgrounds, and customization options. For this reason, items that are always available will not be explicitly labeled as such.
