Blade & Soul - Night Fortuna (Jin Outfit) Mod

In this week's post, we have a super new outfit right out of the oven, or rather out of the freshly concluded Halloween event - the Night Fortuna. This outfit may be new but the same model already existed as the Night Luna, which is a winner of a costume design contest. The Night Fortuna uses the same model but with different textures.

The Night Fortuna probably got its name from the gold colored lining and design on the outfit. But the reason that players can more easily identify with, is possibly the 'farming' style of this particular event, which requires players to 'farm' plenty of monsters for the required tokens. And this outfit alone costs a whopping 75 tokens, which is quite a challenge for those casual or lowly geared players, since the monsters that drop this token are quite powerful and hard to kill.

So as you can see, only those that farms all day and night can benefit most from this kind of event. Thus, would you not agree that the name Night Fortuna fits in nicely with this farming Halloween event? 😆

Due the amount of work required and that the tokens could be exchanged for much better rewards, I am not sure how many players actually pick up this outfit. Hopefully, I wouldn't be hated for making the outfit more "attractive" and causing regrets for not picking it up.  😅

Well, time to meet the original Night Fortuna.

Front View - Original Outfit
As seen in the image above, the Night Fortuna is mainly black-gold colored. Fitting for the name too (black for night and gold for fortune). 😃

Front Close-up View - Original Outfit
The design has a tight fitting full body suit as its base. A short coat is worn over the body suit and the bottom of the coat is extended by several pieces of tail cloth.

The outfit is further enhanced by two pieces of shoulder plate and a pair of matching boots.

Rear View - Original Outfit
We can see the tail cloth in the image above, but they gives the bottom part of the outfit a rather 'bulky' feel. 

Rear Close-up View - Original Outfit
The two pieces of tail cloth at the sides are held together by two crossed straps around the thigh level.

Side View - Original Outfit
Both arms are also fully covered in a latex layer with gold linings and designs.

Side Close-up View - Original Outfit
The outfit looks unique but the duo color scheme and "skinless" (i.e. no skin layer except at the neck) design might cause some players to loose interest in it. But as a modder, I see beyond the texture and always imagine what the outfit can become. So, I bought it. 😅 

Since the outfit has so many tight fitting areas, they are good candidates for recoloring into skin layer. And that is exactly what I did. 😆

Other than recoloring some tight fitting layers to skin, I also removed the piece of tail cloth at the middle and trimmed the original 'U' shape panties into a 'C shape.

Check below to see what the outfit looks like after the mod.

Front View - Modified Outfit
Most of the mod can be seen in the front view. Both legs are now in skin color and a hole has been 'opened' up at the chest portion.

Front Close-up View - Modified Outfit
Hmm... did I open the hole too wide? 😰 

But I can't help it because in order to keep the abdomen area as a skin layer, the cloth covering the breasts need to disappear to the sides. ðŸ˜°

Rear View - Modified Outfit
The piece of tail cloth at the middle has been removed but I kept the two crossed straps, that held the two pieces of side cloth.

Rear Close-up View - Modified Outfit
We can't see the panties before the cloth is removed but I can guarantee that it has been trimmed. 😆

Side View - Modified Outfit
Ah... now we can see the left arm more clearly.

Side Close-up View - Modified Outfit
I have recolored the upper arm and hand to skin layer, leaving the center portion as it is, so it looks like a kind of bracer. The reason is also because there is a rugged edge somewhere around the elbow and it might look weird if it is recolored to skin.

With this, I will wrap up this post. Don't forget to watch the video for better and closer views.
