Character Auras

[Verez Krieger]

How do people have these flaming or colorful auras around their characters or weapons.

[Komarimaru]

Relic Weapons, Personal Buffs from the Job.

[Aidenel]

around characters are usually a class ability, Warriors with rage above 50, I think, will have a fire-ish aura for example.

[Kiana]

Auras on weapons are because they're either relics (long haul / grindy quest reward, mostly to look good and provide a non-raiding source of a high tier weapon) or crafted primal weapons (exists just to look cool and to give crafters a source of income / getting people to rerun outdated fights.)

Auras around characters are usually job-based. Warrior's beast gauge gives that fiery orange aura, dragoon in Heavensward levels gets a blue dragon aura, level 80 white mage can temporarily get aetherial wings, etc. Though a few armor pieces are glowy, too.
