Tbh, this might as well be a new job at this point. Complete overhauls of all the animations, VFX, and even some sound effects. Herald of the Dark was something that started out as a Gaia-based mod (real surprise there, huh) and quickly became something new. Aside from “Hand of the Master” everything else in the Weapons folder was built for Textools as I was relatively new to Penumbra at the time. I plan to roll out a version for Penumbra in the near future.
UPDATE: Added a revised version of the idle and movement file to accommodate those who use standard-type camera instead of legacy for some reason. :V Also added a jump animation.
UPDATE 2: Added /draw, /sheathe, /cpose, /bstance, and /vpose animations
UPDATE 2.01: The revisions to Herald of the Dark have been added as a separate file and the old version has been labeled as the Legacy Version.
UPDATE 2.02: Made some adjustments to some of the VFX and SFX of the revised version of the mod. Further adjustments are in progress.
UPDATE 2.03: Completed VFX and SFX adjustments to prevent “leaking” from other GNBs.
UPDATE 2.1: Herald of the Dark Redux is live with adjustments to sound, animations, visuals, and even some of the emotes. Role actions coming soon. Legacy role actions are still available in the mean time. Demo version of Redux is here: www.xivmodarchive.com/modid/103400
Update 2.11: Added an “Off” option to all Single Selection parts of the mod to allow for better mixing and matching with other mods.
Update 3.0: Updated for Dawntrail with modifications to new skills Fated Brand, Great Nebula, Reign of Beasts, Noble Blood, and Lion Heart
These skills can be viewed here: youtu.be/UqZCCDDgzoU
Update 3.01: Fixed the GNB PvP Limit Break entry “Terminal Trigger” so that it no longer disables PCT cast animations.
Update 3.02: Adjusted Trajectory’s VFX, sound, and invisibility to be in line with the 7.05 update version.
If any textures are broken from the 6.5 changes, the fix should be here. ko-fi.com/s/46c880720b

- Redux update
Reports I ignore and delete immediately:
- Virus warning: you will either read the FAQ/Troubleshooting guide or you will perish. I’m tired of begging people to read.
- DT/version update requests: mods will not get updated until someone shares the update with us on Telegram & an uploader gets to it.
- Malicious ads/files: again, read the FAQ/Troubleshooting guide. You WILL get fucked up if you can’t pass a simple reading comprehension test.
- Catbox/Buzzheavier is down: yeah, services go down sometimes. We do not own Catbox or Buzzheavier, you can wait a few hours for the services to come back.
- A make-up/body mod only has loose files: ipad babies all over again.
Deadass I’m NOT addressing any of the above ever again. Do not message me about them, your report will get deleted, you will get ignored. I didn’t waste my time writing up the FAQ/Troubleshooting sections for mfs not to read.
To everyone else, thank you for your report so we can fix actual issues with the website, I appreciate your input.
