AION - Divine Hauberk of the Arena Conqueror

Hello everyone! It's time for a chain armor mod again, and in this post, we'll be looking at the chain version of "Divine Tunic of the Arena Conqueror". The reason why I want to mod this armor is that, as I had mentioned in previous post, it is currently a popular armor due to its re-introduction. Besides, it is a cool armor set with the spider crests and design.

 

Without any further delay, let us look at the original armor.

Do you guys think the chain (hauberk) version looks very similar to the cloth (tunic) version? Basically, they have the same dress with similar texture (i.e. vertical lines running from top to bottom), except for the chest area and the length of the dress.

For the tunic, the chest area is made of some black, fluffy material, that is similar to those on the hauberk's shoulder, while the hauberk's chest area is just a normal piece of cloth. However, it is this difference in the chest area that enables this naughty XFormer to do something like this.   :p

In the case of the tunic, the chest surface is made of a fluffy mesh, which does not retain the shape of the breasts, and removing that surface would leave a hole. On the other hand, the hauberk has a mesh that retains the shape of the breasts, at least at the sides. Though unfortunately, for the center portion, there's nothing that can be done because it is a piece of cloth covering the cleavage, and removing that would leave a hole.   DX 

So, what does the mod armor looks like? Take a look below.

Other than revealing the sides, the armor now also has a bare-back look. The full dress has now been transformed into a two piece chest (or rather, some kind of clip-on bra?   XD  ) and skirt, connected by two straps. In addition, the skirt has been shortened to reveal more of the upper thighs.

For eagle-eyed readers, you will probably noticed that the thighs seem to be so "thick". Just for clarification, I did not create the character with such thick thighs. This seems to be the thigh-boost effect of the armor (i.e. the mesh).

Interestingly, if you guys can remember my rumbling, about the super slim legs, in my previous post on the cloth version, a scenario strangely comes to mind.   XD

Could it be that the Quality Control department of the developer had noticed the super slim legs on the cloth version, and thus, informed the designer about the issue; But unfortunately, gave them the name of the chain version instead of the cloth version. The designer was like "Oh! make the legs of this chain armor thicker" and tadaaah.... super slim legs remaining on the tunic while the hauberk got the enhanced thick legs.   XDDDD     Anyway, that's just my imagination.  :p

Watch the video to check out the legs yourself, if it isn't obvious enough in the images.  XD
