So i manage to make my armor glow, 120k just to see how it would look like b:laugh and that was with ofcourse 2 sockets with same grade 5 shards (average shards). Here it goes, if you have a 3 socket armour and u did place 2x same grade 5 shards, now you have an extra socket-can you place any grade shard or even any kind of shard in that extra socket and wouldn't it prevent the armor from glowing? Also, if you have 2x same grade 5 shard and another different grade 5 shard, which glow will it take (same type of shard glow or the mixed shard glow)? Lastly, how about if u placed 3x same grade 5 shard, would u get a brighter or bigger spread of glow or something?

Thanks b:victory

    I'm not sure about 2 + 1-2 shards or higher grade but I have 3 g5 hp in both chest and pants and they don't appear to glow any different than when I had just 2.

    The glow will only change when you start getting above Average stones (lvl 5) and to make it glow you need to have a minimum of 2 identical stones, any you add from there will not affect the glow, it will only add the stats.

    It takes 2 of the same for it to glow, but if you add a 3rd or 4th of a different type, it will not have any of the glows from those stones. It will have more of a swirling sparkly look instead. Most peices of armor though its only visible when you zoom in a good bit. The basic glows are far more vivid.

    as for more stones doing bigger/better glows.... you only get this with the level 8 shards or higher and, I THINK but could be wrong, you need 4 of them to get the really good effects.

    am confussed, second guy says no effect to the glow you have at the moment, then third guys says that adding another would change the effect.

    Right now i have 2 average shards (magic defense) on my armor, i have an extra slot, so what happens if i add a rough shard (increased HP) on the free spot so basically, i wanna have 2x same grade 5 shards and 1x grade 1 shard on that 3 slots, will my glow change if i add that rough grade 1 shard?

    Also, when removing the shards do I have the option of which one to remove or does it remove everything automatically?

    Thanks.

    when i bought a weapon from ah and 'purified' it to put in better stones, it didn't give me the option of choosing which to remove, it just removed all that were on it.
    Yeah, I'm a **** barbarian, you wanna fight about it?

    oh ok, coz last time i removed a shard, there was only 1 slot so I havent tried to remove more than one slot, good to know, thanks. Was thinking of placing a low quality shard in the 3rd slot to see what happens and removing after and hope that the 2 slotted ones would be kept lol that woulda been a huge waste of 120k plus another one to replace lol.

    Confirmation of first question still open b:laugh thanks.

    Ok, If you mix and match shards, there will be no glow. If you have a 3 or more socket item, and put in 2 identical Grade 5 (Average)or higher shards, it will glow. If you put in another shard that is identical to the first 2 it will still glow, but if you change the grade, or the bonus, it will cease to glow. And from what i have seen in my own personal experience, a third shard does not change the glow. not noticably anyway.

    I had 2 lvl 5 of one type, and 1 lvl 5 of another type, and instead of glowing it sparkled in blue-ish white.

    I would sure love to see someone (very wealthy and bored) do a guide with pics showing the glow effects of same/differing stone combos! Anyone like that out there?

    Different version of PW that they're using, but the effects are the same...
