For the past four posts, I have been focusing on Jin outfits, so I guess I'll show Yun race some love today by mod-ding a Yun outfit. The Steel Heart is an event outfit purchased off Dragon Express using event tokens, and has a sister outfit by the name of Steel Will, which is a reward for outstanding PvPers during a tournament event. The Steel Heart can be described as a harmonized combination of modern and ancient design concept.
This outfit or rather, a similar one is worn by the lead character, Alka, in the Blade & Soul animation. The lead character got the outfit, without the shoulder guard, from the leader of a village that she has been hired to protect in episode one. The shoulder guard was then given to her 'free' by a Lyn carrier, who then gets back 'payment' by selling information on her to several interested parties.
You can check out several views of the outfit in the screen capture of the animation below.

In the image above, we can see the similar outfit without the shoulder guard.

In the second and third images, we can see the shoulder guard added on.
Let's compare the three images, from the animation, to the Steel Heart outfit below.
Front View - Original Outfit
We can see the long boots and knee guard on her right knee cap, over a pair of shiny stockings, as compared to the naked legs in the animation outfit.
Other than color, the in-game outfit also has a lot more details and accessories, probably because it will take too much time for the artist to draw everything in the animation. 😓

We can also see the bandages on her right arm, in the animation, replaced with cloth/leather in the in-game outfit.
Front Close-up View 2 - Original Outfit
The slings attached to the bra, in the animation outfit, is not included in the in-game outfit. Although the mesh does provide for the slings, no graphics are painted on.
Rear View - Original Outfit
In the above rear view, the cloth can be seen to be translucent instead of fully opaque in the animation. Well... Can't hide a sexy G-string with a translucent cloth right? 😝 Anyway, opaque cloth is still much easier to draw than a translucent one.
Also, the shoulder guard for the in-game outfit also has a slit in the middle, as compared to the full piece of cloth in the animation.
Side View - Original Outfit
Oh! Did I mention G-string in the animation outfit? 😍 You can't see it because it is permanently hidden away by that opaque cloth, unless some rigorous movements momentarily reveals it.
Just to prove my point about the G-string, I have captured two more images below from fighting scenes in the animation.

Well... With the two images above, no one can dispute the G-string, right? 😥
Taking the bare legs design from the animation outfit, I removed the stockings in the mod. But no... I did not include a G-string in the mod. 😥
However, I like how the shiny and translucent stockings look on the legs. Thus, I 'migrated' the design of the stockings to the bra and side torso. Let's see how it looks.

In the two images above, the stockings can be seen replaced by skin.

From far, nothing else seems to have been modified. Upon closer inspection, the bra and side torso reveals a bit of skin color, giving them a translucent feel like the stockings was before. 😝
Rear View - Modified Outfit
The hot pant looks more distinct from the legs, now that the stockings have been removed. 😃
Side View - Modified Outfit
That brings us to the end for this mod. You can catch the outfit in the video below, which contains cut scenes from the game play that focus on Namsoyoo's betrayal. The video also contains Yura and Namsoyoo mod, where I gave Namsoyoo a super short mini skirt and translucent mod for Yura.
Side note:
Both Namsoyoo and Yura are two of the meanest betrayers in game other than Lusung. But while Yura is a demon and Lusung was forced into darkness by circumstances, Namsoyoo betrays even her closest family, all for the lust to lead the life of an Empress. She is the perfect example of why some people would say "Humans are the real monster".

Any chance you would do a Gon's version of SteelHeart? Thanks!
