Date & Time: Tuesday, December 9. 9:00pm PST.
Frequency: Always
World name: Excalibur [Primal]
Character name: Qu'rho Alumi
Race: Hrothgar F
Player needs access to the following areas to try on armor:

2. Proceed to Aymark or Ilfroy at Eulmore, and try on body armor listed below.
3. Proceed through the Dohn Mheg / Matoya's Relict dungeons to obtain and/or try on body armor.
4. Observe shape and size of pauldrons on this armor, particularly in contrast against other races.

Result:
Pauldrons on female Hrothgar are notably stretched out, to the point that they obscure details on the armor or even look oblong in contrast to their appearance on other races.

Pictured: Augmented Deepshadow Scale Mail of Striking on male MIqo'te (left) vs female Hrothgar (right). Note the considerably large size of the pauldron, and how the collar of the armor is more easily obscured from a profile view.

Pictured: Augmented Crystarium Coat of Aiming on male Miqo'te (left) vs female Hrothgar (right). Note the size difference and oblong shape of the pauldron, how it flares out and does not appear to fit to the shoulder.

Pictured: Heirloom Jacket of Fending on female Hrothgar (left) vs female Roegadyn of equivalent height (right). Note the size disparity as well as how the pauldron easily obscures the lapel design underneath when viewing from the front. Even on larger races (pictured below), the pauldron does not quite stretch so far out over the front.

Additional notes:

+ Potentially also impacts the Distance Cuirass of Fending, Distance Cuirass of Maiming and Distance Scale Mail of Striking (via Endwalker lv 90 Dungeon: The Aetherfont) as the armor from this dungeon are recolored variations on the various Deepshadow gear. Was unable to verify without these on hand.

+ Other armor may be affected and not listed here, these just stood out when recently looking for glamours with a friend.
