This week, we will start looking at the new Frigida armor set, which was recently introduced in AION 5.3 NA. This armor set drops off the reward chest from a new instance known as "Dredgion Defense", where the Balaur launches attacks on the capital city of the Elyos and Asmodians. This PvE instance is currently one of its kind, as it opens only once per week allowing up to 384 participants. Everyone needs to work together in order to achieve the desired points, which then determine the received rewards.
As the armor set is related to the Frigida legion which operates under the order of the Dragon Queen of Ice, Ereshkigal; it therefore, has an icy feel to it with a glowing/glittering white-blue tone. Another interesting thing is that I find this armor set to be the sexiest armor to date, with lots of 'unprotected' area around the body. XD
Specifically for the leather chest (a.k.a. Jerkin), the right side of the torso looks pretty empty, with only a vertical piece of armor narrowly covering the front portion. The leg portion of the armor is a shiny, tight-fitting long pants. The other eye-catching part of this armor set is the glowing white-blue accessories that are attached to the armor. These accessories contains draconic design essence, such as sharp claw-like and scale-like structure.
Let's check out the original armor below to see how sexy it really is.

From the second image, we can see that the right side of the front is covered only by a vertical piece of armor, that runs from the right waist to the right breast.

So, the right side of the back is practically.. hmm... 'unprotected'. >.<"
Right Close-up View - Original Armor
So is the right side of the torso... >.<"
Left Close-up View - Original Armor
Wow! The left side of the torso is heavily fortified though! O.O
Hmmm... how can I make this already sexy armor even sexier?
Well, first of all, I reduced the vertical armor piece on the right torso to just sufficiently cover the breast. Followed by partially modifying the left side of the 'heavy' metallic (I guess from the look) armor into a hard translucent plastic feel. Finally, I changed the long pants into panties-style.
So, what does the armor looks like after modification?
Front View - Modified Armor
First, we can now see the skin of those leggy legs instead the pants. XD I have also modified the boots to match the legs.

Front Close-up View 2 - Modified Armor
Notice the reduced armor piece on the right torso? I have also added a transparent layer between the armor piece and the body... to make it not so 'naked'. XD Else it will look like simply pasting a stamp over the breast. ~.~
On the left side, we can see the hard plastic layer in place of the original metal armor. I have made the plastic layer looks like it is a translucent layer over the body. In fact, I have painted a darker dot onto that layer to give the feel that we are actually 'seeing' the left nipple under the thick translucent layer. Well... It isn't very obvious unless you guys look at it very closely. :p
The reason why I used a "hard plastic cover", instead of those transparent layer that I have always been using, is because the left side armor does not actually follow the body shape tightly. If I had force-used a transparent layer over that, it would become an irregular body shape. D:

The rear view looks really 'clean' isn't it?
Right Close-up View - Modified Armor
Hmm... I am guessing some may find the transparent layer on the left torso a little pesky so I won't mind stripping off that layer if anyone wanted it removed. XD

The right torso no longer looks as 'heavy' and 'bulky' as before, right?
Well... That wraps up everything for this mod. You can watch the video for a clearer view of the modified armor.
