Blade & Soul - Kaari Suit (Jin Outfit) Mod

In the last few posts, I have been focusing on Yun mods, although with some inclusion of Jin and Gon mods in the Yun video. If you have watched the Strange Allure video (Yun/Gon) to the end, you will have catch a glimpse of the unfinish Jin version. Thus, I decided to finalize the half finish Jin Strange Allure and work on a new request for Kaari Suit this week.

If you find the name Kaari Suit unfamiliar, that is because it is named directly after the field boss that players can get the outfit from. Similar to the Deva Raiment, Wolfskin and Profane Shroud, players have to defeat the field boss, King Kaari to obtain tokens that they can then use to spin a Wheel of Fate.

King Kaari is a leviathan that lives in one of the lakes in Sapphire Basin within the Moonwater Plains map. The four-legged boss, who wields a hammer and casts lightning attacks, can be summoned by killing the turtles in the same lake.

The name "Kaari Suit" is actually quite suitable because it looks very much like a black diving suit (on female characters), with lime-green colored frames on the left arm and right leg. The outfit has different appearance for Jin, Gon and Yun as shown below.

For the Jin version, the full body diving suit is missing the right leg portion, and the zip ends just below the chest region, as compared to a regular diving suit that zips all the way up and covers the entire body. The suit also comes with a tail cloth that runs from the lower back to ankle level.

Let us take a closer look at the Jin Kaari Suit below.

Front View - Original Outfit

We can see the lime-green colored frames on the left arm and right lower leg. Several string accessories hang on the chest and abdomen level, connecting the front and rear torso.

The tail cloth can be seen swaying to the right, in the image above.

The viewer requested to remove the tail cloth and recolor the left leg to skin. Unfortunately, the accessories hanging on the abdomen links to the lower butt cheek, and recoloring the left leg to skin will inevitably shows the 'kinky' piercing on the butt cheek if the strings and anchor points are left as they are. 😅

As such, I had to remove the string accessories at the abdomen level. The chest level accessories also had to be sacrificed because they shared some textures with the lower one. 

Kaari Suit also has two sisters called Pioneer and Conqueror, which are contained inside the same package. While the Conqueror is distinct from the other two and has its own set of textures, Pioneer shares the same Mask and Normal textures with Kaari Suit. As such, I had to also mod the Pioneer outfit so it will not look weird due to the shared textures that have been modified. 😰

Well, let us check out the modified Kaari Suit below. The screenshots are taken at the lake where King Kaari lives and those 'rocks' in the water are the turtles.

The left leg is now skin as seen in the top image. 😍

I left the straps intact because they looks nice.

All the string accessories have been removed.

The tail cloth and the anchor point that was at the lower butt cheek have been removed.

Side View - Modified Outfit

The modified Kaari Suit now covers only the torso portion, looking similar to a bathing suit.

Just for information, the bra can also be removed without exposing any holes. But I kept it because the outfit will look rather plain without it, now that all the accessories are gone. 😅 

You can take a better look at the outfit in the first portion of the video. The second portion includes the completed Strange Allure.
