The current shine on upgraded armory items is the third (?) Iteration and by far the best.
Still the items are such a bright appearance that adranos and kishar swords don't have a visible base color anymore.
The Hue doesn't change that much in high level so my lv.15 and lv. 20 kishar shield look very much the same.
I am all for effects but i think it makes things harder to discern.
Can we scale it up a little so that max hue caps at lv. 25 or so ?
This would leave some base color left.
