This is a bug that has existed as long as these armors have, and I'm amazed that they haven't been fixed yet. Parts of some armors take on textures (not just color, but the actual texture) from another piece of armor you're wearing, this results in awful stretched/out of place textures, and often just not having textures at all (parts of the armor disappear, usually when there is nothing to copy from).
Some examples of this are:
Xivkyn Medium Belts (textures copied form shoulders)-
As you can see, the belt has a big empty swath cut through the center
With shoulders equipped, this part of the belt takes on a small, stretched out chunk of textures from the shoulder armor.
Barbaric Light Gloves (textures copied from foot armor)-
With no boots equipped, the elbow pads have disappeared entirely.
With Mercenary style boots equipped, the issue becomes obvious.
Mind, these issues don't appear if you are wearing the matching armor for these (Xiv shoulders w/ Xiv belt, Barbaric shoes w/ Barbaric gloves)
I'm not sure how many other armors are messed up like this, but I know these ones have been like this since they've been in the game.
@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Could you please pass this on to the right people so this long standing issue can finally be fixed?
