Ah, good call. I wasn't worried about optimizing yet, since I've been trying to figure out how to make the material look correct.

I'm still not sure what's causing this weird discoloration. No textures applied:

With textures (base, normal, physical):

In-game there's this weird dark part on the staff:

The third image here is the high poly model. Still has a darker part of the pole, though less noticable.

Short screencapture when turning around

The fact that this dark part of the staff remains when turning off the textures leads me to think it's an issue either in the mesh or my settings when exported from Blender / the GR2 Converter tool.

Any ideas?
