Hey i was just wondering...i heard from friends that you can make weapons, sockets included, NOT glow, even if you put shards in the bow.
Other day, some guy told me that if you put two lvl 5 gems (is that beautiful or sumthing) in your weapon it WILL glow.

Is this true? And will bows (not xbos or slingshot) glow too under these circumstances?

And P.S., why does General Summer's Longbow look like **** while the others two weapons, the hammers and the magic word look awesome...or am i missing out on something??? Coz this is just not right, paying a little less than 1 mill (perfect iron hammer) that looks exactly like a lvl 42 bow (ornamented bow i think).

Thanks for your answers.b:bye

    The only thing shards has to do with glowing is if you put Two grade 7 shards in a weapon you get glowing helixes around your hands. As for the bow itself it will glow if it:

    Is a 3* bow (blue)

    Is from HH (Green unless it's thundercrack, then it glows blue)

    Is Molder (glows yellow)
    The only way to win is to quit. b:bye

    If the weapon is 3 star, legendary, TT, or red star there is no way to avoid having it glow. Adding shards to the weapon would only cause a little bit around your hands, not the weapon itself.

    As for the longbow... supply stash hates archers. All other supply stash weapons glow but bows don't. I like how ornamental bow looks, though, so I don't mind. b:chuckle
