Outfits

On the same character, tried with an outfit equipped: p1 identical, p2 / p3 differed.

Outfit	Slot	chunk2 ID	/v2/skins
Pirate Captain's Outfit (3)	Coat	1076	Armor/Coat, name "", Clothing
	Boots	1083	Armor/Boots, name "", Clothing
	Gloves	1149	Armor/Gloves, name "", Clothing
	Helm	1193	Armor/Helm, name "", Clothing
	Leggings	1057	no such id
End of Dragons Emblem Clothing Outfit (113)	Coat	10273	no such id
	Boots	1047	Armor/Boots, name "", Clothing
	Leggings	1053	Armor/Leggings, name "", Clothing

Observations:

• The outfit ID is clearly not used to store this data (3 and 113 are the IDs of the tested outfits, absent at every byte width).
• Some of the skin IDs have no name but exist in the API, and the icons look like they match the theme of the given outfit.
  • Many IDs missing from the API (not uncommon for older items/skins/etc. unfortunately)
