Hello everyone, I have long wanted to discuss the skeleton curse that we have now. Why and how can we change its customization, what it will look like and why these changes are needed.
Note: this article will not talk about using cosmetics from a regular pirate, but with what we have now, that is, I propose to split some of the EXISTING and future cosmetics into separate components, which will expand the customization settings.

I propose to split skeleton cosmetics from 4 to 13 customization points. This will expand the players' ability to decorate their bones and there will be MUCH fewer people in the game who wear absolutely identical clothes on their skeletons.
Let's start with the cosmetics for the skeleton skull:
I suggest dividing the skull settings into 4 categories:
- Hat
- Skull shape
- Mask
- Jaw
Example, Blindfolded Skull and Bearded Skull:
Blindfolded Skull will be divided into a hat and a mask.
Bearded Skull will be divided into a hat and a jaw
Skull shape:
You can put an Obsidian Skull into the skull shape, which will change the skull itself by adding Obsidian growths.
And also in this category you can add skulls similar to regular skeleton skulls, those with scratches and broken/damaged skulls.
All components that I propose to separate:
- Hats:
- Skull shape:
- Mask:
- Jaw:
Torso and Arms
The Torso and Arms can be divided into 5 categories:
- Jacket
- Rib cage
- Arms
- Hook
- Belt
Example, Greatcoat Upper Body and Lobster Pot Upper Body:
The Greatcoat will be divided into 3 items: Arms, Jacket, and Necklace in the rib cage
All items:
- Jackets
- Rib cage
- Arms
- Hook
- Belts, this category includes the reaper dress, reaper Leather and skeletal Skirt
Legs
Legs can be divided into 3 categories:
- Pants
- Boots
- Peglegs
Example, Reaper's Bones Lower Body and Sunken Stump Lower Body:
Reaper Bones legs will be divided into pants and boots
All items:
- Pants
- Boots
- Peglegs
Bone color
I have nothing to add here, since this component does its job perfectly
Examples of what we might get if the mechanics are changed based on the feedback from this article
P.S: I opened the skeleton curse a month after the release of the eighth season, at that time I set myself the goal of opening all the cosmetics for the skeleton. I completed my task, but I can not combine all these cosmetics with each other so that it looks adequate. To assemble the perfect beautiful skeleton, you need to use only parts of one set, which is very sad, because designers say that they make clothes so that different clothes combine with each other, but unfortunately this does not apply to the skeleton curse . I am writing this article with the hope that Rare will someday make similar changes, as it was with the sails that allowed you to have an advantage due to large cutouts and the recent change to all pistols, which made it so that now all pistols are centered on the screen. If you agree with me, leave a comment with your opinion or describe your vision of the customization option for the skeleton curse.
