Hiya everyone, I guess I'm still a n00b even at lv. 84... ANYWAYS LOL! To the point! b:chuckle

If I add an immaculate HP shard and an immaculate sapphire shard will I still get the sparkling effect? So if I mix shards on my weapon will it still sparkle or does it have to be the same two shards? Thank you in Advance. ^^

    You'll still get sparkles from mixing your shards as long as they are immacs. The two sparkle trails around your wrists will be different colours, though.

    Unless things have changed, shards do not affect the appearance of weapons, only armor.

    Uh....flawless and above have always added a small little light effect around the hands when added to weapons.

    This. Also makes a nice trail after you when you fly/run. And adding two different immacs will indeed give you sparkle effects, just in two different colors.

    I'm sorry but I have to ask, why do you need HP on your weapon?
    (I always use sapphires on magic weaps for extra m.attack/healing.. I have enough sockets on my armor/cape/hat for HP/garnets.. )

    You need 2 gems to get sparkling effect Flawless and Up, you can mix gems if you want.
    Citrine = purple trail
    Sapphire = white trail

    To clarify, weapon glows are from being 3-star/TT/legendary/etc. Shards don't affect weapon glows/sparkles at all.

    Armor, mixing shard types will give sparkles, or the aforementioned light effect if the shards are high enough quality. Matching shards will give a glow or effect depending on the type, a forum search should turn up a bunch of threads listing all the different effects.

    And yeah, +Atk/MAtk is the way to go for weapons. Save those HP shards for your armor ;)

    not completely true, as stated above: when you add TWO flawless or higher gem to a weapon they get a swirling sparkle effect around your hand(s)
