Q:
Eternity vs sunrise
I had Sunrise for about 3 years and later Eternity for 1 year now. The effects on Eternity are stronger:
- the sword and your character have a faint firey aura
- footfall effects are a lot more prominent
For reference check the wiki: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eternity
Please note that during night and nighttime dungeons you will have the Twilight skin with similar effects and same footfall effects: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Twilight
‘would of been’ —> wrong
Eternities day time aura is like an orangeish blueish fire aura and Sunrise has a different type of aura, its more of just a blue light. However in the case of Twilight vs Eternity, Eternity has a much more prominent darker black aura than Twilight’s weak little grayish black aura.
Also no one mentioned this, but Eternity is most distinguishable from its footfalls which are more lustrous and reflective than its other two counterparts, and also from its shiny, somewhat coruscant pommel that is hard to miss even if the weapon were not sheathed. These are two things that I think makes it easiest to recognize an Eternity and distinguish it from a Twilight or Sunrise, since some people tend to be unaware of these differences and mistakenly identify it as either of them. Also when throwing the sword with classes such as warrior or whirling around in place with guardian for instance, the projectiles appear as dual or twin blades of Sunrise and Twilight swirling alongside each other. If you want a clearer picture of Eternity being wielded and demonstrated, the event outside the gates of Arah culminates in dueling a Risen High Wizard who wields the selfsame Eternity whose visual effects you were wondering about.
