As a closing for the Frigida Armor set, we'll be looking at the Chain chest, a.k.a. Hauberk, this week. Readers are also in for a treat to a rare snow view during the winter season in AION. I have captured some screen shots and video with the weather effect maximized so viewers can see not only glittering white scenes but also falling snow. :D
Back to the armor, if we compare the hauberk to its cloth, leather and plate version, there is a stark difference. There is actually no spiky prong rising over the shoulder! O.O
Well... technically speaking, the same design (spiky prong) can still be found on the hauberk, but it is located at the left waist in a horizontal orientation, instead of protruding over the shoulder in a vertical orientation.
In terms of design, the hauberk also kind of reminds me of the "Sauro Commander Hauberk", especially when it is dyed in black color. Maybe because of the "scaly" surface and the similar slanted cut at the bottom of the dress. >.<"
One interesting logic-defying design would be the 'floating bra' which is basically not attached to any other part of the armor. The bra is only made up of 2 bra cups and a few dangling chains, which is why I call it 'floating bra' or maybe 'stick-on' bra? XD
Now, let us take a look at the original armor below.

Can you see the spiky prong between the left waist and thigh? That piece of armor was seen rising over the shoulder for the cloth, leather and plate version. Its base color is white-blue but because I dyed the armor black, it kind of turned grey. ~.~

In the image above, you can clearly see why I call the bra 'floating' or 'stick-on'. Especially, if you look closely at the left bra, you will notice that there's only one chain connecting the bra to the neck armor. >.<
Rear View - Original Armor
From the front and rear zoom out images, we can see that the right arm and leg are cover in a dark translucent layer, like some kind of stockings.

And the view on the left side is eye popping! It is basically ALL CLEAR except for an armor piece painted on the waist! O.O
If you still have your suspicion about that 'floating' bra, well.... now you can fully convince yourself of the non-attachment claim. XD
So, who's ready for the modified armor? Check it out below!

From the two images above, you will notice that the dark translucent layers on the right arm and leg have been removed. In addition, the cloth at the right thigh has also been trimmed to show a super high cut.

Well... since the bra is already defying logic, might as well make full use of it. XD And so, I trimmed the lower part of the bra to show a little under-boobs. >.<"

The rear views show the trimmed cloth on the butt. I was actually trying to trimmed it to nicely cover up the panties but.... well... stripped too much as usual.... @.@

Wow! I think I took the naked side to the next level by taking away that armor piece on the waist! The armor at the side is now basically held together by just a dangling chain at the waist. O.O
Since I had modified the color of the right leg, I also need to modify the shoe so that the color of the lower leg match.
Check out the video for more snowy scenes and the rare white tiger mount. :D
