That when you choose Shadow Cloak with a maskeraith while wearing a stranger hat, it shows you wearing a pig-tailed helm?

If you did know this, send a link or tell how this happened. Reskin?

Actually, mine didn't show that. Mainly because I had an accessory on it I guess? I might try again.

I see you have a heavy stranger hat, while I have a cool stranger hat, I might try it with my heavy stranger hat though.

This happens because the mesh of the Stranger hat models is based off a basic Tailed Helm model. SK has a weird way of making things transparent, so it just uses the same base model for transparency for anything based off Tailed helms.

Similar things can be found throughout the game. Sometimes transparent things show up as black pixels for me, no idea why though. I'm guessing it's something to do with my small monitor.

Anyways, I've noticed a couple of things - the magic cloak lines are actually using the same model as the gunslinger armours, I saw bits of an outline that suggested the spurs on the back of the shoes. That's kind of an obvious one but interesting nonetheless.

And then on ember/fire/blazebreak helms, there is actually a third spike in the middle of the helmet that is just transparent. I would post a screenshot but I don't have one right now, I'll try to get one in a while and I'll imgurlink it here. If OOO retextured different spikes on these helms then it would make them feel less copypasted, it's something of a missed opportunity.

But yeah. seems like OOO could actually have put more things on our armours than we thought.

Next thing you know, Trojans are just reskinned knights...

Which isn't as far fetched as it seems if you think about it.

Well.

Anything re-skinned from another item will show its original look when you use Masker's invisibility.

Some examples:

Crest of Almire shows the two blades of Aegis
The Santa Hat part of Santy Hats will show mohawks
The Maskeraith itself has the look of a few ultimates

Etc etc.

There's quite a few armors that are reskins of others. Almirian Crusader takes the armor from Plate, and the Helmet from Skelly. The three breakers obviously use the models from the three proto armors, the newer proto armors are reskins of Drake and Wolver, the former is a reskin of Chroma.
Jelly armor is based off Demo, and many helmets are based around the tailed helm (in addition to the ones mentioned on this thread and the ones I mentioned above, there's also the PvP Crown)

@ Hexzyle
Wait... Weren't bombs added to the game later, while the jelly set was there from beta? (not sure, since I wasn't here for beta, and 3 years ago I was only a part time player) If so, then shouldn't Demo be based off of Jelly?

Jelly Set was in beta, but it had a placeholder model.

Jelly's beta set was literally a recoloured Brigandine and Pith helm. The Skelly suit was a recoloured Brigandine, with a remodeled Zombie head based off Tailed Helms. You can see these in the horrible outdated Media section. Additionally, count how many Darkfang Shields you see.
