AION - Heavenly Jerkin & Breeches Mod

In today's mod, we will look at one of the oldest armor in AION. This is the first abyss leather armor set, which was introduced in AION 1.0, for characters between level 25 and 35. If you guys can recall, abyss armor is a class of armor with PvP stats, that reduces damage inflicted by another player.

 

By AION 5.0, new players would probably level up so much faster, that most might have just skipped this armor set and went straight for the level 40, 50, 55 or even 60 ones. But back in the days of AION 1.0, leveling up is a grind fest and having this armor set around might enhance a player's survivability, when questing in the PvP zones. 

 

Although each level range of abyss armors has uniquely designed skin, the different grades of armor (i.e. superior, heroic, fabled, eternal & mythical) does share the same skin (except their colors). The different grades for this set are the "Guardian Recruit's", "Guardian Squad Leader" and "Illustrious" set. Even though they are now outdated in terms of stats, they are still sort after by some skin hunters, thanks to their unique skin.  XD

 

Although this is a leather armor, it gives more of a cloth feel and I find it kind of similar to a housemaid's dress (You know? Those black-white dress that maid wears in Japanese anime XD  ). The jerkin looks much like a bare-shoulder, lace neck party dress and the breeches resembles a short skirt with matching stockings, as shown below.

Hmmm... The back of the dress is what causes me to feel that this design originated from a housemaid's dress...  >.< 

Side View - Original Armor

In order to make the armor more appealing, I have trimmed the bra, dropped the neck lace, modified the sides-back to plastic texture, and of course not forgetting the skirt... No, I didn't remove the skirt this time round. Instead, I have shortened it to reveal more of the leggy legs.  :D

 

So, let's take a look at the modified version below.

The layer below the bra is empty and so, I cannot really trim much on this area. Same goes for the tummy, sides and back areas. 

Rear View

 Does the skirt looks cuter now?   :p

Side View

And finally, modified the sides and back from cloth texture to a transparent plastic texture, since I can't do much, due the missing layer below them.

 

You can take a look at the video if the images are not clear enough for you.  @.@
