The existing policy for costumes in the Tower of Salvation is that newly added costumes will only appear in the costume selection if they are owned by the account. 
Starting from the next season, they will appear in the selection regardless of ownership. However, for the "Beach Vacation Morphea" costume scheduled for pickup starting August 22, an issue has been discovered that makes it difficult to use in the Tower of Salvation.
As a result, the "Beach Vacation Morphea" costume will not appear in the Tower of Salvation for a while.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to your Tower of Salvation experience.
