Well, I guess it is the lighting that makes them look different. But neither version does look like made from steel or some other metal. They have this dreaded plastics look!

Looks as if it has been made by the same artist that thought dull grey looks like ice (see ice crown).

Just clear the place in Normal mode, with a four man team. I tried Vanqishing, with no luck, then just blistered through it in NM (with Ursan+Sabway) and got the reaver from a mirage iboga, of all things.

100+ Keys in Dalada Uplands and no compass or shield. Even did five HM chest clearing with 8 man teams last night and no one got one. About 4 chest spawn every time, 160 chest opened and nothing. Really starting to believe farmers just said Dalada Uplands to send the rest of us in the wrong direction.

Yeah, i've ran Dalada plenty with lockpicks and no shield/compass. I did my first run of Kathandrax and now i know why i have avoided that place for so long. XD Got a crappy gold wand i think, can't remember but it was merch fodder.

Could be pretty cool in the game, but I'm pretty sure there are no more weapons. You'll have to wait for the next batch to be added.

Still no Katar for sin?
Not interested.
Aside from the wand, Focus, and serpentine axe, it's more of the same to me.

Not sure if this is old news, but I just got to view the Emerald Blade in game, and it does not have any animation as Wiki suggest.

A little disappointed

It may be a misplaced question. Do you have post processing effects turned off? That can remove animations from weapons if it is off.

I think lowering shading does the same thing sometimes.

if not maybe it should be taken off the OP??

Okay that is strange... the sword looks CLEARLY gold in that picture now. But I'm told it's a dull silver? The light change on that is crazy.

Don't really think thats the case. I can view animation of the other weapons normally.

And the owner and I were agreeing about how disppointed we were coz we thought there is animation on it, so I don't think I am alone.

Can anyone double confirm whether there is animation on it?

Edit: Wiki just confirmed the lack of animation on it

Hmm probablly some jerk spreading misinformation about the animation so they could price gouge it even higher.

I'll try and get another picture taken in a brighter area to show you how the sword looks in direct light.
