Q: Is it possible to craft a glowy weapon? If not, can you make it possible?

A: The Trade Goddess has it on her plan. Cross your fingers that it survives testing.

Q: I had achieved top listing for Hibernia Alchemy on my server, with a capped score of 1148. After the crafting change, another player achieved the same score, but moved ahead of me on the Herald. I don't believe this is fair nor correct, because the dedicated crafter who achieved the top score first, should be listed first, IMHO.

A: I entirely agree with you. And I can’t do anything about it.

The trouble is, the Herald only knows what we tell it to know. The system is based on multiple layers of code that is in some places more than five years old. When the Herald updates its charts every day, the newest entry with the same number goes on top.

If I win the lottery and am able to devote a team just to streamlining and designing the Herald with the things I know now, the first person to achieve a particular score will remain on top for as long as he – or she – is a subscriber.
