Blade & Soul - Unchallenged (Gon Outfit) Mod

We have finally arrived at the last piece of Unchallenged outfit, which is for the Gon race. The first piece was done for the Jin race somewhere in October 2018 but since it was not easily obtainable, I left out the mod for Gon and Yun. With the game updates, players can now purchase the outfit from the Zaiwei Achievement vendor after defeating the final boss in Irontech Forge - Chief Mechanizer Yoong under five minutes.

As such, I was able to obtain it for my Yun and therefore tried out the same Jin mod on it. A patron likes the mod and ask for a Gon version. And that led us here today.

Since our fate to own this outfit no longer lay in the hand of our RNG goddess and super rich whales 😅, I can easily get the outfit for my Gon. So I can finally make a video to show the outfit without using the in-game Tailorshop, which can get repetitive. 😆

By the way, 'whales' originally refers to those top gear players who bought in-game stuff, to gear/power up their characters, by spending real life currencies. But the line has blurred to refer to any top gear players. 😆

As seen in the two previous Unchallenged mod posts, we know the Gon version would look exactly the same. But let's review the original outfit below for the sake of non-players.

The same black colored coat and spiky armor pieces can be seen above.

The power pack and cable are also present.

And also the huge metallic glove on the right hand.

To be fair to the three races, I made the Gon mod similar to the Jin and Yun. Or maybe just being lazy. 😩

The mod involves removing the extra armor pieces with spikes, the power cable and the vertical center portion at the back of the coat.

Although the outfit is similar, I found out that the meshes may not be exactly located at the same position on the texture. It is understandable that the skin layer may be different on the texture, due to the inherent different in the body shapes of the three races. Most of the time, the armor/outfit pieces can be found in the same location.

However, some of the pieces for the Unchallenged outfit are not found at the same location so I cannot do a easy copy/paste delete from the Jin or Yun texture. So, some of the deletions need to be traced and erased manually like working on a new outfit. 😩 On top of that, not forgetting the recoloring of skin layer due to shadows.

The spiky armor pieces on the abdomen and thighs have been removed.

The bra has also been trimmed a little and the metal cap, which was blocking the mouth, near the neck area has been removed.

Rear View - Modified Outfit

The vertical center portion at the back of the coat has been erased.

No more hindering power cable too. 😅

Hmm... Although the mod outfit is similar for all three races, it seems the Gon version looks best. Is it just my imagination or the effect of the Gon body shape? 😕

Anyway, this brings us to the end of the Unchallenged mod. Watch the video to have a closer look at the modified outfit.

After making so many mod videos, I was beginning to wonder if anyone actually appreciate the videos for entertainment or just checking out the mods and abruptly stopping the video halfway. This thought arises because in YouTube, I can see the average view time and how far into the clip was watched, of the individual videos. I realized not many watch the entire video and is wondering whether I should still make full video clips like these. 😕
