So I’ve been kind of on the fence about the new Scarlet gear in the gem store. On one hand, they look pretty nice and my Sylvari Guardian already has a crystal-theme to her (well, weapons anyway since there aren’t really any crystal armors) so it’d fit well with her theme on top of that. But they’re expensive and I’m not sure if they’re “that” cool to drop 800 gems on.

However, browsing through Dulfy I found a comment that may push them over the edge, if its true. Someone in the comments section of the update for the items said that on Sylvari characters the crystal parts of the armors glow, in the same way that some of our cultural armors (and TA armor) glow I would imagine.

A non-cultural armor that utilizes our glow sounds amazing. So are there any Sylvari players out there who can confirm that the shoulders and gloves (and the Helmet from the LS for that matter) do indeed glow? I’m not really eager to drop gems just to test it, want to verify it before I buy.

Well, I have these items and I’m a sylvari. They doesn’t glow the same way as the cultural armor, but if you set crystal parts to some bright color, they kinda look like they are glowing. The amount of light is still static, it doesn’t pulsate like the real glow. I can show you some screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/FgV28#0

Hmm. That’s a shame. Guess its a good thing I was skeptical of it and double-checked though. Buying them right away and then finding out they didn’t actually have a Sylvari-style glow would have been a huge bummer.

Thanks for the info yayuuu.
