Arb's Hat Reviews: Darkseed: The Pendant

So. Now is the time of the month where the Halloween Gifts start to open, and the trick or treat within is revealed. 'The Pendant Gift' was one of the first gifts to open, inside, a lovely little gem: 'Darkseed: The Pendant'.

The 'Darkseed' hat in the catalog carries a sort of legacy; it is well known to be an absolute Halloween classic, available every year for a hefty price tag of 100,000 Tix - around 10,000 Robux. This item, has such an effect on the ROBLOX Economy that the trade currency rates change dramatically.

So, what makes this item cool?

The Mesh 9/10

Due to the nature of the original hat, and its presence within the ROBLOX community, anything with 'Darkseed' in its' title will be highly sort after. The aim of this hat was to obviously create a smaller version of the Darkseed with a new mesh and transform it into a suitable necklace; all I can say is that they succeeded. The mesh is detailed and similar shape to the original, it mimics it very well. The only thing that could possibly be improved is that the lines starting from the top and ending at the bottom, could have been more defined, further highlighting the area. However, this is a small mesh and so detail can only be produced up to a certain degree.


The Colours 8/10

The colours for the mesh are also fairly similar to the original. I gave it an eight purely because they are lighter than the Darkseed pumpkins' colours, this may be on purpose to give the hat more of a 'modern' or 'new' feel, there is nothing actually wrong with the colour scheme.

The Texture 10/10

The texture for 'Darkeed: The Pendant' is the probably the best part of the item, it fits the hat perfectly and looks really polished. If the texture designer was going for a more modern version of the original: they succeeded here too! Let's face it, if the texture was like the original, it probably wouldn't look right on a bit of string. It had to made more polished considering it was made 3 years later. Evoloution!


So, to conclude, a great mesh, with a fitting colour scheme and perfect texture, possibly the best gift item so far. What do you think? Post in the comments below!
