On past occasions, the publishing companies of Elsword would hold design contests. A winning design would be chosen for every character available at the time of the contest, as well as the occasional accessory, pet, or miscellaneous categories. The designs were player-submitted and winners would obtain cash shop currency, as well as having their design implemented in-game, although some remained exclusive to the winning server.

Trivia

  • KOG has stated in Q&A and other occasions that the reason why the Costume Contest will no longer continue is that the costumes designed by players are not exquisite enough and can easily lead to plagiarism problems.
  • Three days after the 2013 South Korean Designs were released, Rena's costume "Blue Fairy" (블루 페어리) was reported as plagiarism. KOG removed this costume from cash shop, and remade the "Golden Rose Knight" (골든 로즈 나이트) two weeks later based on the second-place design.
    • Players who had purchased the plagiarized costume but did not trade them to others can request a refund.
    • All "Blue Fairy" costumes in the game were replaced with "Golden Rose Knight".
      • Although KOG had made replacements, some "Blue Fairy" costumes are still retained in the game for some reasons. They can be exchanged for Magic Wardrobe Ticket after 2017.
  • The winner (我妻洛酱) of China Costume Creation Contest in 2012, 2014, and 2015, the winner (ローチャン) of 2016 Japan Creator Award, and the winner (lSoreyl) of 2016 North American Halloween Design Contest are the same person.
