Blade & Soul - Twist of Fate (Yun Outfit) Mod

In the last three weeks, I have mod-ded the Balrok Raiment for Yun, Gon and Jin race. It is the first time I that I have gotten requests from viewers, one after another, for the same series of outfit. So I guess it is one of the more popular outfits. Well, I hope everyone is happy with the Balrok Raiment mods.  😅

Two weeks before, a viewer had also asked to look at the Yun version for "Twist of Fate" outfit. The outfit is given free after completion of the first part of main campaign quest, when players arrived at Jadestone Village. Players get to choose one from the two versions (white or grey color) of the outfit. The annoying part of the outfit as he puts it, is the extended half-robe that runs down the left leg. If we compare the outfits for the three races, we can understand the frustration.  😆

Gon                                  Jin                                    Yun

As seen above, the Jin gets cheeky and decides to run around without putting on a pair of pants or skirt, while the Gon gets a short blouse. But Yun gets a Cheongsam-like (see side note for Cheongsam) design except that the bottom part of the robe covers only the left leg. Although the design does adds elegancy which matches the characteristics of the Yun race, that part of the robe covers the entire left leg and has to follow the movement of the left leg very tightly. As such, it looks a little unnatural during movement.  😥

Let us take a look at the original outfit below.

Front View - Original Outfit

We can clearly see the source of frustration on the left leg. 😆

Front Close-up View - Original Outfit

Instead of a slit that reveals the outside of the left leg, as in a Cheongsam, the side is littered with black pin-like decorations.

Rear View - Original Outfit

Right Side View - Original Outfit

The bottom part of the robe does not cover the right leg at all, as compared to a Cheongsam.

The first thing that I did for the mod, is to remove the source of frustration. Other than that, I also trimmed the cloth at the back and take off the pair of stockings.

Let's see the mod version below.

Front View - Modified Outfit

Ah! Annoying cloth gone! So are the stockings! 😄

Maybe no one will notice that the lower part of the leg, below the leg band, is glossier than the thighs?  😅

Rear View - Modified Outfit

Trimmed the cloth at the back to just sufficiently cover the panties. Errr... that is when we are looking at the butt from a level angle.  😅  

Rear Close-up View - Modified Outfit

Yup. Slightly bend forward and we have the panty view.  😓

Left Side View - Modified Outfit

Right Side View - Modified Outfit

Now we can have a nice view of both leggy legs.  😍

I kept the two pieces of long cloth at the back because I find them quite unique, something like a tailcoat.

Eagle-eyed viewers will notice the difference in glossiness between the thighs and the lower part of the legs. That's because I put in too much gloss when I re-painted the stockings to skin color. The original stockings become a silky and transparent stockings.  😥

Well, I hope this mod has removed the annoyance on the original outfit.  😅

Side Note:

Cheongsam (Qi Pao in Mandarin) is a traditional Chinese dress that was designed to be a full body, tight fitting robe with two long slits at the sides, that run down from the hip to the end of the robe. It was designed to highlight the legs and make them appear longer. These dresses are mostly made with silk cloth.

Silk cloth is shiny, smooth and very flexible in texture and was invented thousands of years ago in ancient China. It was believed that the wife of the first Emperor was the first one to cultivate silk from silk worms.   

The tailcoat design is like a typical coat but with the bottom front part cut away, leaving only the 'tails' at the back, around the knee level. The 'tail' may be split into two, like a swallow tail or a whole piece of cloth. The tailcoat design has a historic origin (1700s), in the western world, believed to be designed primarily for horse riding.

Probably because horse riding is a popular source of transport and coat is a popular type of clothing during that period. However, it is tedious to remove the coat and hang it somewhere while riding, thus the tailcoat design for easy mounting and dismounting from horse. The trend eventually leads to the tailcoat fashion that we see today at some formal and/or glamorous events.
