August 11th Update
With this patch comes Festival of the Four Winds, its annual reward a new leg armor skin: Cloud Pteruges [&AgFBrQEA]. Pteruges, derived from the Greek word meaning “feathers,” are protective, skirt-like strips of leather or layered linen worn by Greek and Roman soldiers. Exactly what they reminded me of when I saw them
A cloudless version of the skin will also unlock. I found the cloudless version of the chest piece, Cloud Cuirass [&AgFbmgEA] already in my wardrobe at login
