Dunno, my character's hair gets hella shiny in the rain. The spec boost really isn't something you can appreciate from mere screenshots, but here's my character.



From what I can tell, hair gets a large shininess boost (mileage may vary with more sculptured hair). Shadows and colors are a little darker. Mundane cloth gets a shininess boost to near leather levels. Everything else gets a soft shininess boost. You won't notice it much walking around in your myth/ct/darklight/allagan gear, but walk around in say, your goldsmith AF and you'll see how shiny your gear gets.
