Nexon does sometimes run events where players can purchase exclusive cash items, including pets and outfits, that are permanent. These are, however, not frequent.
One item players can always buy in the cash shop that is permanent is Premium Suprise Style Box.
Upon purchase, Premium Suprise Style Boxes give permanent NX clothes, that players can even trade with each other.
Premium Suprise Style Boxes can be purchased from the SSB tab under Event in the cash shop.
The price of Premium Suprise Style Boxes is 3,400 NX each or 34,000 NX per 11.
As mentioned, you can trade the permanent cash outfits from Premium Suprise Style Boxes with other players.
Therefore, you can purchase it directly from the Auction House with mesos.
You can browse all the permanent cash outfits on the Auction House by selecting the Cash Items tab.
Buying permanent NX clothes directly from the Auction House also allows you to choose what pieces you want, instead of getting a random piece of clothing from a box in the cash shop.
