Vader’s Vault Light Weathering
A hilt with Light Weathering is slightly tarnished in a few areas. The hilt looks like it has seen some battle and has lost some of the luster of a pristine, “as first built” hilt with no added weathering.

Vader’s Vault Medium Weathering
A hilt with Medium Weathering is moderately tarnished in several areas. The hilts looks like it has seen battle and features darker, and more pronounced tarnished areas than hilts with Light Weathering.

Vader’s Vault Heavy Weathering
A hilt with Heavy Weathering is extremely tarnished across the hilt. The hilt looks like it has seen many battles. The tarnish marks are darker, bolder, and more defined than hilts with Medium Weathering.

Vader’s Vault Savage Weathering
A hilt with Savage Weathering is tarnished in many areas and the finish may also be worn down in certain areas. Hilts with Savage Weathering look like they have endured many arduous battles and hardships over the span of years or decades.

Vader’s Vault Relic Weathering
A hilt with Relic Weathering is heavily rusted in appearance with an antique, forgotten-about-for-awhile look to it.

I have asked Vader’s Vault several times in the past 8 months to make a section showing off their weathering levels, to no reply. Thank you for doing something they are not capable of.
