Blade & Soul - Ethereal Phantom (Yun Outfit) Mod

In the last video, I have basically completed a full rotation of Gon, Jin and Yun mods with the Enchanting Temptress outfits, even though I only blogged about Yun's version. Well, I had blogged about the Jin Enchanting Seductress and Gon Temptress/Seductress previously, so focusing on the Yun Enchanting Temptress, for the most recent post, seems like a good balance. 😅

I managed to complete the three outfits at one go not because I have grown more arms or heads but because they are duplicates from the earlier outfits (Seductress, Temptress and Enchanting Seductress). But that still took more time and effort than I expected. 😫 

For this post, I thought I will go back to a single outfit but surprise, surprise... In the Ethereal Phantom package, there are actually four outfits. Two of which, we know are the lime and black colored versions of Ethereal Phantom, but I am not quite sure what the other two are. That is not a big deal since I can usually choose to mod only the outfit that I need. Unfortunately, These four outfits share the Mask (M), Specular (S) and Normal (N) files. 

If I mod only one set of the files (D, M, N and S), it can affect how the other three outfits look in game. In a bid to not mess up the other outfits, I ended up mod-ding all eleven files in the package.  😰

Blade & Soul players will know that the Ethereal Phantom outfit is one of the earliest outfits in game. Given as a reward for helping the Grave Watcher Master and Disciple duo fight their nemesis Nekuro the Necromancer and his army of Jiangshi. A little fun facts about Jiangshi can be found in my previous post for the Jin Profane Shroud.

The original outfit looks more oriental in design for the top, with a demon face mask hanging around the tummy region, and sports a pair of tights for the bottom. The bane of the outfit is probably the pair of trumpet sleeves with humongous opening. Let us take a look below.

Front View - Original Outfit

It is difficult to see the huge sleeve openings as they 'cut' into the torso and thigh but Blade & Soul player will know they are there.  😆

You can also watch them in action in the video, covering almost everything they land in front of. 😆

Rear View - Original Outfit

Does the piece of cloth at the back looks like a shield?

Side View - Original Outfit

While the tights on the black-colored version is plain black and has a smooth surface, the lime-colored version is littered with small flowery décor.

The very first item on my list is actually to remove those huge trumpet sleeves but unfortunately, the upper arms' structure does not exist. Removing those sleeves would definitely leave the disconnected forearm floating in the air. Even when I tried to shortened them, the disconnect will still be visible. Thus, I will have to live with those trumpet sleeves. 😧

Next on my list is the legs, which did not give much trouble, followed by trimming the cloth at the front and back.

Finally, I also tried to modify the center portion of the tummy area to skin. The result is not 100 percent satisfactory though. The area does not look convincing enough on my character but it seems to look better on slimmer characters. 😥

Well, let us look at the modified version below.

Front View - Modified Outfit

As seen above, the tummy and legs 😍 are now skin layer. I retain the original texture at the crotch region to be the panties but I think I was a little too greedy. 😅

Front Close-up View - Modified Outfit

Cloth at front has been trimmed but I guess the demon face in front is enough to ward off any wandering eyes.  😈

Rear Views - Modified Outfit

I also trimmed the pointed cloth at the back into a shorter rounded cloth. Any shorter and the disconnect between the torso and leg will become visible.

But when gliding, that disconnect is still pretty noticeable. 😥

Side View - Modified Outfit

So, that wraps up the mod. Check out the video to see both outfits and those 'all-covering' sleeves. 😆
