Blade & Soul - Dark Wanderer (Gon Outfit) Mod

Following the Dark Path in last week's post, we have yet another outfit with 'Dark' in its name - the Dark wanderer. Although this outfit carries 'Dark' in its name, it has nothing to do with Dark Chi or Dark Realm. In fact, it has a sister outfit by the name of Pale Wanderer.  😅

The Dark Wanderer is a random drop from the last boss that players defeat in the Lair of Frozen Fang dungeon. The dungeon is actually a prison built by the Talus Dominion to house the most notorious creatures like Chu Chu (yes, its the actual name 😂 ), Gotem the Fist and an entire snake cult. 😱  Unfortunately, the creatures broke free from their captivities and now claim the prison as their lair.

This dungeon is one of the earliest heroic (purple) dungeon in Silverfrost Mountain and by now, patches after patches, it is even soloable by a high level character. As such, many players would have the outfit but kept them stash away because it just doesn't look that 'interesting'. However, the chance for the outfit to drop is still very low and new players will still take a long time to farm for it.

The outfit for each race looks different and as usual Gon gets the most love. Check the comparison below and see for yourself.

Yun                                  Jin                                       Gon
Both Jin and Yun are given pants, while Gon wears a skirt. But that baggy pant on the Jin is the real killer because she looks like a gourd with two legs. 😂

The outfits are given a cloth-leather texture and have parts torn off to give a worn-out feel. Two canisters hang from a cloth, that is wrapped around the waist, which I presume to be grenade and flare (or water bottle or even a scroll holder?) of some sort. Topping or bottoming off with a pair of long boots or stockings. The outfits really have a wanderer's feel, don't they?

If look at closer, the Jin's and Yun's versions only have a single layer design on the torso but the Gon's version has two layers. The top layer looks as though it has the lower half ripped off and the second layer has holes in it that reveals the skin layer below.

Let us take a closer look at the Gon Dark Wanderer below.

Front View - Original Outfit

We can see the holes on the sides even from a distance.

Rear View - Original Outfit
A piece of worn cloth covers the back of the legs.

Right Side View - Original Outfit

Left Side View - Original Outfit
We can clearly distinguish between the top and second layer on the torso from the side views.

In the mod, I wanted to remove some of the cloth and slings at the waist area because I find that they aren't really necessary and they block the view of the legs.  😣

Also the second layer is so badly torn that I think it is better to totally remove it...

Front View - Modified Outfit

There we go! Now we have a full view of the tummy region. And if you look up from under, you will be able to see the bottom of the breasts... Maybe that's the reason why there is a second layer...  😛

Rear View - Modified Outfit
The lower back is also exposed now.

And no more cloth to block those leggy legs.  😍

Side View - Modified Outfit
The cloth and slings at the sides are removed too.

Does the modified outfit looks neater and sexier now?  😅

  1. Hey! Is this available for download anywhere?
    This mod makes this outfit the one I am looking forward to the most, and the main reason I'll probably install bnsbuddy and such.

    2. Thanks a ton :D
      Now to grind towards getting this outfit haha ;_;

      Would you consider doing something similar to the GonF Pugilist outfit? Namely stripping off the armor bits (lower legs, anchor, arm plate on left and right, thigh armor)?

      Or, I guess I could figure out how to apply your mod to the Etheral Phantom or Hongmoon outfits hmm <_<

    3. Hmm.. I can take a look at the Pugilist because I am not sure if the pieces can be removed without revealing holes. Anyway, I think there are videos in YouTube teaching how to replace outfits. But not sure if those really works. 😰

  2. Found some tutorials to make it happen after taking the time to get all the modding stuff set up. It shouldn't be too tough...just finding which is the hongmoon or eternal phantom, and which is dark wanderer is the thing that may take time.

    Doesn't look like there are holes in Pugilist. All the armor bits can be removed without exposing mesh holes.

    The Deva Helm though, which I'm very curious about, I can't tell without getting a bunch of modeling tools. I'm hoping if the helm is removed, the braids can work as a normal hair...but there's a good chance the top of the head just as a gaping hole xD

    1. Glad you found the method. I do think there might be a possibility for that on the Deva helm, but can only be confirmed after trying it out. 😅

    2. I checked the Deva helm but there is good and bad news. The good news is there is no hole when the helm is removed. And the bad news is... there is no hair just below the helm part so the character will become bald in the center of the head... 😓
