Cosmetic infusion

Cosmetic infusion is a type of infusion that grants a unique cosmetic aura when equipped. Functionally identical to standard attribute infusions, most of them provide +5 bonus to an attribute and +9 Agony Resistance. WvW-exclusive cosmetic infusions instead provide +5 to an attribute and a bonus to offense or defense against WvW NPC enemies. Similarly, attribute of a cosmetic infusion can be changed via Mystic Forge.

Most cosmetic infusions are tied to extremely rare chance rewards from their relevant content. Sometimes they are not rewarded directly, but are crafted instead, with the main crafting component being the rare drop. Because of their rarity, costs for cosmetic infusions vary wildly: some are relatively common and cost only slightly more than standard attribute infusions, while the rarest trade for thousands of gold.

Some of these infusions can be obtained directly, avoiding the random drop mechanic and, partially, extremely high costs. This is usually done by fully crafting infusions from more widely available materials, completing achievements, or by purchasing them for the content-specific currencies. This more direct way of acquisition usually comes with some restrictions, like a purchase limit or an account bound-only status. Many of the cosmetic infusions can be also found as rare rewards in various timed bonus events or festivals like Festival of the Four Winds and Dragon Bash.
