Crab backpack always there

[Noi Kino]

So despite not being speced into it my Soldier alt still has the crab backpack piece always enabled. This ends up being an issue when I'm trying to make a costume that wants a cape or wings as the backpack overwrites them.

I believe your 1st costume slot on Soldiers Of Arachnos ( VEAT ) will always have the Backpack ( actually called slot 0 ), your additional slots can be fully customized at any Tailor ( Icon, Trainers, Base NPC ).

No, this is for the additional costume slots.

Yeah, this is an old bug dating all the way back to when the VEATs were launched. I don't remember why it happens, but basically if your SoA ever goes Crab (or slots the backpack) for any reason, and you decide to make another build that isn't a Crab or you just respec completely out of being a Crab, you're still a Crab as far as your costume goes. (Edit: In all costume slots. I think it is because your character has a Crab Spider power linked to it and you have to have the backpack for the animations to work.)

Is there any way to fix it?
