Been meaning to bring this up for a long time, but never quite got around to it.
Synopsis
This bug concerns the initial Necromancer headwear choices: the Demon Masque, Skull Masque, and Wraith Masque and the visible UV seams associated with exclusive Charr Female face options available via the Total Makeover Kit.
Priority
Low. This is purely a cosmetic issue and as such, does not impede gameplay or progress in any way.
Description
Each of the exclusive Charr Female faces have distinct UV seams and/or misaligned areas in regards to the Necromancer starter masques. I have attached screenshots that show the extent of this issue, which typically affects the nose, lower jaw, and eye socket areas. This is an issue specifically for the Female options, the exclusive Male faces do not have this problem from what I could see.
Diagnosis & Possible Solutions
As far as I can figure, the UVs of the items were laid out to align with the original faces, and the exclusive faces have different layouts that cause the items’ textures to be misaligned and/or split.
The easiest potential solution is to adjust the face UVs to better match the items, which would likely fix the issue for all the items simultaneously. Although it could cause some light distortion/stretching for the skin/fur textures.
The inverse, however, (adjusting the item UVs to better match the exclusive faces) might cause the items to then appear distorted on non-exclusive faces.

We might not have funky issues with Necro-masks, but charr males with new faces have our own issues (clipping glasses, helmets). Link included~
