Alkosh glow effect gone(?)

howdy folks,

i have the full Alkosh set with jewelry and 2 daggers. those daggers are reconstructed via the Transmutation station. thing is, the blue-ish glow is gone. is it because those daggers are not "original"? because i used to use 2H axe before that was transmuted (from something to Precise) and the glow was there (even after transmutation). so

a) the glow is gone because it glows ONLY when you have the "original" weapons (meaning from the Trial itself, not reconstructed)

b) the glow is gone because the Alkosh set is... not working? bugged?

i have the Alkosh on my front bar only and the full set is highlighted when i'm on my front bar, so it should work properly. i just want to make sure. anyone noticed this or know which option is correct?

any and all help will be much appreciated..

    I've noticed a weird thing with Alkosh myself. I have it on my weapons/jewelry. My one-handed weapon glows but my shield only glows when unsheathed. When I sheathe my weapons, the glow fades fairly quickly from the shield only.

    Have you altered your weapon's appearance at all via the Outfit system?

    Cosmetics with their own visual effect (Unduanted Monster weapons for example) will override innate visual effects on a weapon.

    The Maw effects should work even if the appearance was altered. I know Moondancer was glowing a few weeks ago, even though it had a different style applied to the staff.

    I reconstructed a Moondancer staff a while ago, left it at blue until I was sure the visual effects still worked.

    Are you using poisons? I put poisons on my Alkosh tank due to inventory space issues caused by the event. Those poisons suppress the glow effect from Alkosh. If you take them off and then weaponswitch it works fine. Then again, my weapons are original...

    thanks mate, this was it. it's the poison i use. didn't know that equipping a poison would do such a thing, i kind of like that glow effect..

    thanks to all suggestions, folks..
