Stemless Flower Eyepatches

A simple mod that removes the stem from all of the flower eyepatches.


This was requested by Sameru.


Installation:

Drag & Drop the included 'Client' folder into your TERA installation directory. You'll know you're in the right place when you see another 'Client' folder too. It's okay to merge the folders, as this mod will not overwrite any of your files. No need to worry about backing up! It simply adds it to a new directory entirely, and your game will read it, leaving your original safe and unharmed. 

Uninstallation:

You only need to go to 'TERA\Client\S1Game\CookedPC\Art_Data\_Packages\CH\Accessory', and delete the Acc_144.gpk, Acc_145.gpk, Acc_146.gpk, Acc_147.gpk, and Acc_148.gpk should you want to uninstall.

Devil Wings Redux

Reskins the Steel-Tipped and/or Midnight Devil Wings. Comes in a variety of flavours.


Dragon
(Designed to compliment Aman, but all can wear. Changes with Skintone.)
Angelic
Raven
Demonic
(Designed to compliment Castanics, but all can wear. Changes with Skintone.)
I have a big collection of wing textures from various things, so I thought I'd finally put them to use.

Unlike most reskins, the two types if devil wings have two different packages, so you're able to mix and match what you want for each. Maybe you want the Steel Tipped to be Dragon, and the Midnight to be Angelic! You can choose by downloading your favoured versions below.

Arkai
 This reskin was inspired by the Arkai. They're some great looking TERA creatures.

Now, I don't exactly own this mount myself, so I haven't seen it, or anyone on it in game. Please take some screenshots for me so this page can look nice!

Elven Earring Fix

The fixes an oversight for the elven hair with the earrings. Comes in two flavours.


I don't know about you, but it's always peeved me that the elves had earrings which changed colour with their hair. Surely, it was not meant to be. I've always just ignored that particular hairstyle, but it seems to be popular as a base when new hats come out, so I figured it was time to make a change.

How we have it now. (Gross)
Looking through the files I can see that the hair texture had a slightly different patch over the earring bit on the specular map. It -was- intended to be different from the hair. Reversing what I did for the Elin Ears & Tails mod and Amani Robe mod, I was able to correct their mistake with the 'cstm' file. I marked the earring as 'ignore' rather than 'hair', so the game now correctly ignores colouring it.

This is how it was intended to look. (Silver)

Much like said adjustments to the Elin's Head package, Hair 01 (Coincidentally this one) and Face 01 will be invisible during character creation, but perfectly fine in-game. It's because in CC they use additional test textures to display, instead of the actual ones, and the test ones get lost when any changes are made. As they are not used anywhere else, you will never have an issue outside of character creation.

Part of what prompted this mod was seeing the similar female adornment side-by-side with the mistake.
So I borrowed the textures from the female version, and made a gold version for males too.
Male elves wear a shitton of gold things, so I've no doubt it'd look a lot better on them. But really, it's up to you. I've uploaded both versions.

Pearl and Obsidian Circlets

Retextures the Princess Tiara.

Female is now a more neutral colouring that is intended to match the Castanic R21 (QW) set. Blue gem is now a pearl.
 
Male version also has adjustments. Blue gem is now obsidian, and the gold looks more metallic.
 
Was a bit of a vanity creation for my castanic, but I figure I'd share. You can follow the uninstallation instructions below if you just want the version for one gender only.

Dyeing the Undyable

This is no mod, rather a helpful in-game tip for fellow fashionistas. Do you wish the Quandary Bazaar, Santia, and even the Shimmering & Black Label templates were dyeable? Well, I'm here to tell you they actually are! Right under your noses.

Step 1: Transfer the looks of your undyable to a useable piece of gear.
(Protip: Best to put it on a 'white' piece of gear that doesn't soulbind for future tradability/sharing with alts)


Step 2: Equip desired transferred items, and close your character menu.


Step 3: Click on the dye you wish to use: Apothecary, 1-hour or otherwise, and reopen your character menu.


 Step 4: From your character menu only, right click your desired equipped item, and it will find its way to your dye menu! Select colour!


Step 5: Rinse and repeat until you've achieved your desired level of fabulousness.
