The glow on relic+1 weapons is ugly

[Mhaeric]

I think the highlights have taken over the glow for PLD. It looks like a purple glow already.

The weapon itself is in the ballpark of the soulstone. It just has a significant highlight that is a different colour.

Also, that screenshot is annoyingly the one always trotted out to show how purple the glow is. If you look at a screenshot that isn't taken during the purple glow of dark weather, then it's much less purple looking.
