Welcome Travelers to day six of the Ceaseless, 9 day, Super Hype Week, Patch Spectacle*TM! If you are just joining us this week, be sure to check out all of our Depths of Eterra announcements over the past five days (links below!). The Depths of Eterra update is continuing to add distinct armor designs for each of the classes, improving the feeling of progression and unique identity. Check out some of the awesome new looks coming into Eterra!

Acolyte Armor Set

The Acolytes new set takes a lightweight approach to a gothic, demonic, and ragged theme - it pairs perfectly with some of our new darker-themed catalysts revealed on the weekend. In order to achieve a realistic result of the different layers of clothes in game, we had to use a combination of simulating the fabric in 3D and manual sculpting.

Primalist Armor Set

Here is our newly redesigned low-tier Primalist set, one of the first armor sets you will collect as a new Primalist making their way through Eterra. With a strong wilderness inspiration, it was necessary to focus on fur creation and find solutions to bring that fur to life - while respecting the technical aspects of the engine. To keep the model on game-budget, we created groups of fur-textured planes and layered them one by one creating depth and volume.

Rogue Armor Set

Our new mid-tier Rogue armor set takes on the soul of an outlaw. Its open design leaves mobility completely unhindered, while providing heavier protection while in marksman stance at range - protecting the side profile of the shooter. Also, check out that hat. That is going to be a popular hat.

Sentinel Armor Set

Our endgame ready high-tier Sentinel set showcases a beautiful combination of battle-scarred plate and white wolf fur. We would like to believe the fur adds an element of comfort here for our Sentinels journey, but how comfortable can you really be in the Depths of Eterra? The biggest challenge here was bringing together the technical challenges of fur and hard-surface materials into one unified piece.
