There are several clipping problems with the Night's Wolf spear, particularly with the male DRG idle pose and when walking and running with the weapon unsheathed.
1. The picture below shows the clipping that occurs with the male DRG idle pose with the weapon unsheathed (images can be opened in a new tab for greater zooming).

This problem is likely less severe with the female pose although due to the shortness of the spear, it won't reach the ground.

3. Finally, the next two exhibits show the problem during the running animation with the weapon unsheathed. It might not be obvious, but the drape clips into the face of the character. I am unsure as to how this affects different races and genders.

Some of the clipping could be improved by making the spear longer. Its extremely short size could be a key reason as to why the drape stays so close to the body and thus clips while running and walking with it unsheathed.
The original design (see the image below) took all the available space in the template and so it doesn't look like the creator wanted it to be this short. Additionally, this extreme shortness has also been noted by players.

Hopefully these clipping issues can be addressed.
