Blade & Soul - Fair Weather (Yun Outfit) Mod

Although this is supposed to be a week for a Jin mod, I will be skipping over it because I do not have a particular Jin outfit in mind yet. Instead, we will proceed with a Yun mod that has been requested after I posted the Gon Fair Weather mod.

As updated in the Gon Fair Weather post, a patron pointed out that the outfit name actually means a type of friend - fair weather friend, who only surrounds you when time is good and went missing when the tide turns. This became quite clear to me after the patron points out that the first of the three sisters outfits that came out is the Best Friend. 😅

With that said, I still can't shake the feeling that the outfit looks very much like an arena fighter's garment. 😆  How about you?

Although the Gon and Yun Fair Weathers look largely similar, there are still some differences between them. Compare them in the image below and see if you can catch the differences.

The differences between them are the leggings that the Gon wear and the chest portion. Looking from the side of the chest portion, the Gon can be seen sporting a bra like cloth, while the Yun has the entire portion covered in a translucent layer. And because of that translucent layer, the Yun outfit can finally one up the Gon mod, in terms of sexiness level. 😎 

Before we get into the mod, let's take a quick look at the original Yun Fair Weather below.

Front View - Original Outfit

As seen above, the Yun's version does not have a pair of leg guards like the Gon's.

We can see the dark translucent layer covering the shoulder, the upper back and the side of the breasts.

Rear View - Original Outfit

The rear view is exactly the same.

Side View - Original Outfit

The translucent layer can be seen more clearly from the side.

What I did for the Yun mod is similar to the Gon's, except for the translucent layer on the chest.

Firstly, I have trimmed the skirt, the collar, then followed by the coat and the two pieces of cloth that runs down from the sleeves. 

For the chest portion, I can simply repaint it to skin color because the translucent layer is not floating above the skin layer, unlike in the case of the Gon's.

As seen in the two images above, the skirt and coat have been trimmed.

The chest portion is now in full skin color. 😆

The collar that runs from the neck to the waist has also been trimmed at the side.

Rear View - Modified Outfit

With the coat trimmed, we can now see the legs from the back.

The breasts are now narrowly covered by the collars. This means that the mod can be made to be topless, at the front at least, as the mesh structure for the lower back might be missing.

But I am not going to do that because I feel that sexy looks better than nudity. 😅

With this, I will wrap up the Yun Fair Weather mod.

While searching for a suitable piece of music for my video, I came across "Heart Beat" by Mitte. So I decided to add in the Gon Iron Will mod, to make a friendship video. Although a fair weather friend would not be one who will have a deep friendship, I still use the Fair Weather outfit since its sister is the Best Friend.

Sometimes, when two people grew up very close to each other, they can feel the lingering presence of each other even if they are physically world apart, as depicted in the video.

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.

Rear Close-up View - Original Outfit

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

Side View - Original Outfit

Side Close-up View - Original Outfit

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.

Front View - Modified Outfit

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. 😥
