Blade & Soul - Aurora (Yun Outfit) Mod

This week, we have an outfit out of the Sandstorm Temple dungeon in Solak. Needless to say, it is dropped by the final boss - Rukesh, in the hard mode dungeon. The first time I saw this boss, I was thinking "What the heck is that?", and some players might agree with me. 😆

To verbally describe Rukesh's appearance, think of a legless man with a huge genie attached to his back via some cables/lines. Yes, I mean practically a being that looks similar to a genie from Aladdin's lamp. 😅

Seeing a genie appear in Solak is not all surprising since the outfits worn by people of Solak are designed similar to ancient Arabic wear. But to see the genie attached to a legless man is another thing all together. Makes you wonder who is the master of which. 😨

Rukesh was originally a monk from the Ajanara Monastery, but he delved too deep into dark knowledge, which eventually led to his turning into a demon due to an artefact.

Looking back at the outfit, I cannot really tell its name's relation to an actual aurora, which is a natural light display in the upper hemisphere of the Earth's north and south pole, caused by the disturbance in Earth's magnetosphere by solar winds.

If anyone has any good theory as to the outfit's name, please help enlighten us. 😅

The overall design of the outfit is a white piece of mantle worn over an orange colored dress, supplemented by metallic shoulder and leg armor pieces. Let's take a look at the original outfit below.

The base dress has an orange color shine, while the armor pieces are dark colored. The two combination gives a strange overall look.

The mantle can be seen covering the entire back and two pieces of cloth, of the same length, runs down from neck.

We can see feathers sticking out from between the shoulder guard and bracer.

The patron who requested for this outfit mod asked for the mantle to be removed. Unfortunately, the mesh for the back of the torso, which is hidden beneath the mantle, does not exist. A total removal of the mantle would leave a missing back. As such, my only option is to trim it.

The mantle can be physically trimmed to the waist level but that will leave a gap between itself and the dress, where the missing back (hole) can be seen. Thus, I only trimmed the mantle up to the skirt level. 😥

Trimming the mantle would complete the request but I also looked at the chest portion. It seems the mesh of the breasts exist under the dress so I can trim, or rather widen, the dove neck to reveal a little more of the breasts. Unfortunately, the mesh of the torso portion immediately below the breasts does not exist, so the trim style is limited only to the top part of the chest region. 😥

After that, I also trimmed the length of the dress by a little and cut two slits into its sides.

Check out the modified outfit in the images below.

The dress can be seen trimmed down to the white lining level.

The angle of the 'V' shape on the dove neck has been widened as seen above.

The length of the mantle has been trimmed to be approximately the same as the dress.

Side View - Modified Outfit

The slit on the right side can be seen in the image above and below. I added the inverted 'V' white linings to complete the slits, as it will not look nice with the dress ending with white linings on the front and back but not on the sides.

This brings us to the end of this post. You can watch the video for a better look at the modified outfit.

I had captured the video in the northern part of the Silverfrost Mountains map because the scenery looks similar to the Earth's north and south pole, where beautiful auroras can be seen.

By the way, the thumbnail of the video has been doctored to include an aurora in the skyline. I have not seen any aurora in Blade & Soul yet. 😅
