How does gear glow?
-Gear glows under the following circumstances:
The following weapons glow:
-Three-star (purple name) : Blue glow. Obtained at lvl 20 from a quest, weapon manufacturing, or mob drops.
-Legendary (gold name) : Gold glow. Obtained by using materials and a mold (dropped from dungeon bosses) at a Legendary weapon forge in Archosaur.
-Twilight (green name) : Green glow. Obtained by using Twilight Temple materials at a Twilight Weapon forge in Archosaur.
-Warsoul (red name) : Red glow. Lv. 100 rank equipment or by collecting particularly rare TT, Lunarglade, and Frostland mats, as well as mysterious chips. Essentially, it's impossible. Don't bother.

Weapons can also have additional lighting effects on the hand holding the weapon by imbuing grade 7+ soulgems into them.

2 grade 5 hp stones = purple glow
2 grade 5 phys def stones = orange/reddish glow
2 grade 5 mag def stones = white glow
2 grade 5 mp stones = blue glow
2 grade 5 evasion stones = yellow glow
2 grade 5 elemental stones = green glow
2 grade 5 stones, not the same = sparkles
4 grade 8 hp stones = lightning effect
4 grade 8 mp stones = blue crystal effect
4 grade 8 elemental stones = Strong green glow with sparkles
4 grade 8 phys def stones = Burning fire
4 grade 8 mag def stones = Strong white mist
4 grade 8 evasion stones = Bigger/stronger yellow glow with sparkles.

-When using elemental stones on a weapon, they only add the elemental effect to your physical attack, not your magic attack. In short, elemental stones are only good for your cs dailys. Don't bother imbuing them in any of your equipment.
-For the cost of making Grade 8+ soulgems, you could just as easily refine your equipment to +9, which gives better stats anyways. Unless you really dig the armor glows, refining is the more efficient means of improving equipment.
