Blade & Soul - Ashes In The Fall (Gon Outfit) Mod

A week ago, a reader asked to see the mod for the Gon Outfit, Ashes in the Fall and so, here it is.  😃 As mentioned before, this outfit looks very similar for all the different races (Gon, Jin and Yun) so from afar, it is difficult to tell is it a Gon, Yun or Jin wearing the outfit.  😆  But the look and motion/animation of each race is unique, thus, you can tell the race of the character by the way they move or stand.

I also mentioned before, think of Gon as bodybuilders but I guess that's largely exaggerated because they can be made to be as petite as a Jin. I myself has encountered some Jin-size characters wielding those super huge axes that only Gon character can carry and was thinking to myself "since when did the Jin race has the Destroyer (see note at end) class?" It is only when I mouse over them that I realized that they are actually Jin-size Gon.  😆

But of course, if any player prefer to make a character with muscular physique, Gon is the one for them because the other races just can't be customized to that extreme.

Well, most of the information about the outfit "Ashes in the Fall" has already been told in the Jin and Yun mod, so let's head straight to check out the original Gon outfit below.

This Gon model in the images above is around the height of a typical Jin and doesn't have that muscular physique that Gons are known for. But the way she is standing is a dead giveaway of her race.

To be fair to all the races, I created the mod for the Gon outfit to look exactly like the Jin and Yun ones. That means a G-string bottom with a 'tail'... again...  😅

Well, let's go straight to see how it looks on a Gon, shall we?

I choose to do the Gon mod on the red version of the outfit since I will be putting it in the same video with the Yun one, which is white.

Would you agree that she looks exactly like a Jin except for her poses and darker skin tone?

It isn't very obvious in the images above but there is a vertical line running down the tummy area and another at the butt cheek, that I can't seem to get rid of through coloring or bump map. Those lines coincide with the edges where the different parts of the meshes join and thus, could be a mesh issue. It is fine for the full black pants, since it needn't be smooth, but not for a skin layer. Unfortunately, I couldn't amend the meshes and have to let them be.  😓

In the video below, you will get to see the Gon's dance animation for the first time. While Jin's dance moves are cheeky and Yun's elegant, Gon's dance moves are energetic with lots of twisting and shaking moves.

Side Note:
There are currently ten classes that players can choose from but each race is limited to a few classes as shown below. As such, Jin race definitely will not have axe-wielding Destroyer.

Gon: Destroyer, Force Master, Kungfu Master & Soul Fighter
Jin: Assassin, Blade Master, Gunslinger, Kungfu Master, Soul Fighter & Warlock
Lyn: Blade Dancer, Force Master, Summoner & Warlock
Yun:  Blade Master, Force Master, Gunslinger, Kungfu Master & Soul Fighter
