So I just came back after a really long break from the game and I am confused as to how the cultural armor for they sylvari works. I’m playing a male warrior and I have read a lot of the posts about the glow effect and I am still confused. Is the glow effects still a work in progress? Like with a slider like we had during creation to control how bright/dark we wanted the armor to glow? Sorry if this is beating a dead horse.

I think the glow on the armors have been finalized.

Here is how it works:

The glow you can adjust with the slider during character creation applies only to your body- not your armor and you select one color.
You have a slider to select the brightness.

The armor has a separate dye channel that is tied to glow- you will have to see which it is on each set.
The brightness of the glow is dependent on the color dye you put in the channel,
The lighter the dye- the brighter the glow.

So you could have your armor glow match your own- have a different color or one that is not visible at all much.

you can change it at any time by changing the dye on your armor

Hope that helps you

Alright and do all the armors glow now or just specific sets and thanks that helps a lot.

I don’t have a heavy Sylvari but my Light and Medium sets do glow.

Some more than others depending on the dye.

I wear darker colors on my medium sets so you can’t see the glow on my Ranger and only very slightly on my Engi
I am not at all sure if the T1 pants has a glow.

The light armor T1 and t2 glows beautifully

I wear a mix of different cultural mostly on all my Sylvari but no Tier 3, so can’t help you there

All heavy armor sets have parts that glow.

I think male heavy T1 and T3 have the best glows of the 3 tiers. T1 has little thorny trim bits that glow, and T3 has branch ends. You can preview it at night while you’re glowing to see where the glow will be.

I have T3 on my female guardian but I’ve seen men in it and it’s exactly the same outfit. On her I used celestial for the branch tips and she shines like a star at night. The T1 gear is more subtle, like xmas light trim. Here, a picture from the wiki, all the little beige thorn parts are what light up:

I have the T3 heavy on my female Guardian and I get no glow whatsoever. Don’t know if its the colors I have it dyed dulling to glow to the point where its unnoticeable or what.

Which of the 3 dye channels of the T3 heavy controls the glow?
