Blade & Soul - Ravenfall (Gon Outfit) Mod

So, a viewer asked whether I can do a mod for the Ravenfall outfit last week and I am not very sure I can do it since I myself do not have the outfit, meaning I cannot look at the mod in details. Why I don't get the outfit? Well, if you have read the Yun Darkpath post and think it is difficult to get the outfit, think of the Ravenfall as ten fold harder... Unless you are really very rich with in-game gold AND has lady luck smiling upon your raid when you defeat the Raven King. 😧

The outfit can only be obtained from the final boss, Raven King, in Skybreak Spire. The chance of the outfit dropping is like ten percent or even lesser. And even if it does drop, be prepared to engage in a bid war with all the other eleven players in the same raid, as almost everyone would want to get their hands on this super rare outfit. Oh, I forgot to mention that each player can only enter the Skybreak Spire raid once per week. 😱  So, I guess you can imagine it may take months or even up to a year to get one.

Well, after dowsing out the flame of people getting eager to hunt for this outfit, 😅 let's take a look at the original version below. The images are captured from the in-game Showroom as I do not have the outfit. The showroom is a really cool in-game system which has links to all in-game outfits that your character can try out in an UI window. 😍

The images below are just the part of the Showroom that contains the character model. To the left of this part is a whole list of weapon, pet and outfits that you can view and try out.

Front View - Original Outfit
The Ravenfall similar to the Darkpath, are outfits from Skybreak Spire and thus related to the Raven King. As such, it features lots of black feathers as expected.

On top of the feathers, the Ravenfall also has a raven head  😱  sitting on the right shoulder and claw-like structure on the back.

As we can view from above, the torso portion is mainly a shroud that runs from the neck down to the feet, leaving the sides exposed. This design can be seen in Profane Shroud and Balrok Raiment, though this is the longest in length so far.

It also sports a pair of black leather leg guards and two armor plates, that I think look like a pail cut in half  😅 , hanging on the hips.

Wow! That side view! 😍  And not so wow... the pail-like armor plate. 😆

Rear View - Original Outfit
On the back, we can see the claw-like structure on the top, extending into plenty of feathers.

Although the Ravenfall outfit looks as if it covers little of the body, it actually has plenty of details, especially strings that connects to different parts. And as I found out, removing one string can lead to removal of some others in another area. So I need to balance what to keep or remove.  😰

With such a sexy outfit, how can I make it even more so? This is made more difficult by the fact that underneath that shroud, the entire cleavage region down to the belly button is missing.  😱

This means that I cannot just simply cut the shroud short like in the case of the Balrok Raiment or make holes in the one in Profane Shroud.

Therefore, I decided to cut the shroud to its bare minimum, to cover the hole, and at the same time turn the piece of cloth into a chunk of feathers. 😅

I also removed some feathers from the back to reveal more of the back... well, I needed feathers to cover the chest, so they have to come from somewhere. 😂 

The two pail-like armor plates are also removed and along with them, some strings and accessories.

Let's look at the mod version below.

Front View - Modified Outfit
From the above image, we can see that the shroud is significantly shorter.

On closer inspection, the shroud has been replaced by a chunk of feathers.

The two armor plates are also gone.

Front Close-up View 2 - Modified Outfit
Oh! The raven head got chopped off too cause it looks a little scary.

The panty bottom that you see now is something that I drew onto the skin layer because the front part of the original panty is just too tiny and the rear part is 'floating' too far above the skin layer to look normal.  😥

Rear Close-up View - Modified Outfit
As you can see the feathers on the left side have been plucked off. 😅

This reveals more of the back and exposes that weird 'floating' bottom which I have no choice but to remove and repaint. I think the panty bottom will be better with a G-string because the butt has a deep groove but I guess that's a little too skimpy.  😓  I might consider that if I kept the feathers.

The sides look almost the same other than the missing armor plates and some strings.

Well, that's for the mod. Unfortunately, there is no video for this mod because I don't have the outfit... 😞

  1. Nice work.

    Think you could do one for the red rider outfit (yun)?

    1. Hmm... The Red Rider is a very plain white (wonder why it has the word 'red' in it) blouse. I'm not sure what can be done with it at the moment. 😓

    2. Think that's "red raider" not "rider", the rider one is the one with the red cape, the top that looks to be cut from the hongmoon duster.

    3. Oh! I see... Guess I mix up the two. 😅 Well, let me see if anything can be done.

    4. I have check out the Red Rider and did a mod for it. I have removed the stocking and edited the Hongmoon Duster part into a red shirt with a white skull. Unfortunately, there is no structure under the shirt so can't reveal the cleavage region like in the Blood Raid. You can check the mod here and let me know what you think 😅 https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xx0Ne5XGBcW0CEjOptfp2d3FwvsW2D6_

    1. I am not exactly sure what you mean. If you mean to swap outfits, I don't really know how to do that. 😓

    2. This landed on the wrong outfit actually lol. I meant to comment this on Profane Shroud.

    3. If you mean to do it for the Yun Profane Shroud, I am sorry it can't be done. I have tried it before and it will cause the game to crash. Because there is something different about the texture files within the package that will cause them to be repacked with error. 😥
