=>Available in 8K/4K/2K and 1K.

=>DSR/ALLGUD meshes included.

=>LOTD display mesh included.

=>It now has it's own unique sheath/scabbard and the blade model itself has been edited so it is slightly longer.

=>The crystal has better refraction this time compared to my previous re-texture in my opinion.
