# Costume Vend (F2P Route)

Costume Vend lets you buy Cash Shop-grade static headgear costumes with Activity Coin instead of Cash Points, so you can build your look without ever donating.

## Where to Find It

| NPC          | Location         | Currency      |
| ------------ | ---------------- | ------------- |
| Costume Vend | prontera 142,172 | Activity Coin |

## How It Works

Click the vending machine to open its shop menu, then pick the exact costume you want by name — no gacha, no randomness. Around 198 static (non-animated) headgear costumes are on offer, and they're the same items sold for Cash Points in the Cash Shop. Buying through Costume Vend costs Activity Coin instead, which you earn just by playing.

## Pricing by Slot

| Slot       | Price (Activity Coin) |
| ---------- | --------------------- |
| Upper      | 20                    |
| Middle     | 30                    |
| Multi-slot | 40                    |
| Lower      | 50                    |

Price depends on which headgear slot the costume occupies, not the item itself — a handful of special or multi-slot pieces are priced above their base tier, so always check the cost shown in the shop window before confirming.

## Earning Activity Coin

You don't need to spend real money to shop here. Activity Coin accrues automatically from playtime (1 coin per 60 accumulated minutes online) and drops from the Find the Mushroom event. See [Activity Coin](/wiki/economy-and-currencies/activity-coin.md) for the full breakdown.
