Blade & Soul - Fair Weather (Gon Outfit) Mod

In my passionate pursuit to complete the Jin Courtesan mod, which we saw last week, I had skipped over a Gon mod. As such, I will make up for it by working on the Gon Fair Weather outfit mod this week round. For players from the NA server, you will probably know that this outfit is also one of the fifteen that can be obtained randomly from the Legendary outfit chest. But the event will probably have ended at the time of this post.

"Fair Weather" is an old outfit and it has two sisters by the name of "Merry Weather" and "Best Friend". I am quite perplex at the strange names for these outfits, since normally the naming of outfits is often related to some in-game matters, such as something in the storyline or dungeons or monster names. Although outfit names like "Soul Mate", "Summer Waves" and the likes can be directly derived from the look of the outfits themselves, but "Fair Weather"?

If we look at the outfit itself, we can hardly tell anything relating it to the weather... Even the name of "Fair" for a dark blue outfit is quite hard to swallow, since a fair weather should normally mean a light blue sky.

Thus, I belief that the "Weather" part does not really points to the meteorology kind but something else. Indeed. If we are to take a closer look at the outfit, we can ascertain that it resembles something that a champion of rings/arena would wear. After all, the champion belt at the waist is a dead giveaway isn't it?

Coincidentally, there is a famous MMA fighter by the name of Floyd Mayweather. I am not exactly a big fan of MMA but his name and the way he proclaims that he fights because of the money made quite an impression on me. His critics saying that he only fight in matches that he knows he can win add to that impression. But impression is just that, impression. Be it positive or negative.

So could the outfit names be hinting towards this famous MMA fighter? "Fair Weather"? "Merry Weather"? And how about "Best Friend"? Anyone got any suggestion? 😅

[Updated] A patron gives another better explanation, for the naming of the outfits, in the comment section below. They explained that Best Friend is the first of the sisters to be available, Fair Weather and Merry Weather are the other two types of friends, as opposed to Best Friend. 😅

But I will leave it at that. Non-player can take a look at the original outfit below and contemplate for yourself.

Front View - Original Outfit

Does the full front view makes you think of a robe worn by arena fighters?

Ah! the Champion belt at the waist is a dead giveaway?

Rear View - Original Outfit

The piece of cloth that is normally used to close up the front of the rope, by tying it into a knot at the abdomen, can be seen dangling at the back.

The back of the coat is embroiled with golden threads and a symbol.

Does the top of the coat being pulled back gives a sense of arrogance, confident and style?

Overall, the robe has a more elaborate look than that of a fighter and the pull back of the coat clearly shows off a personal style.

In the mod, I have removed the pair of stockings and trimmed the skirt as usual. Next, I also trimmed the coat and a little of the collar. Finally, I modified the bra from a dark blue color to translucent layer.

Let's take a look at the modified version below.

The pair of leggings has been removed as shown above.

And from the second image, we can verify that the skirt has been trimmed vertically (i.e. shorter), while the collar that connects downwards has been trimmed horizontally, revealing more of the side.

Initially, I had wanted to remove the bra but there is a huge hole below so I scrapped the idea and modified it to a translucent layer instead. 😥

Rear View - Modified Outfit

Hmm... Maybe I should have removed those two pieces of cloth that drapes down from the sleeves because they block out everything... 😕

Not forgetting the trimmed coat.

So what do you guys think of the mod?

Actually, I have also trimmed the panties down to a G-string but of course we can't see it in the images above. And I can't verify what it looks like either because I don't have the outfit. 😥

After spending the limited number of Hongmoon coins that I have, I still did not get the outfit on my Gon. So I can only show the mod using the in-game Tailor shop in the video. 😥
