Hello and welcome!

I like the idea behind this sword, its very much filled with lore :)

There are more than 900 various melee designs already in game, so i am only allowed to approve Swords that are unique, beautiful and very well-made. It could be easier to get a melee approved if it is a Hammer or sort of Blunt weapon type.

From the description i get a feeling that you might have been aiming to make a sword that fits Star forger Revenant costume? It might be good to borrow those tints of purple and use them instead of pitch-black to make the sword a bit more interesting visually. Also it could be good to try and put more accent on the moon, make it a bit bigger/noticeable.

It looks like you got the shape and surroundings of Attachment Point right, but current model is using voxels of too dark color (below 10.10.10 RGB) and your Material Maps are overlapping. The moon and stars are mapped Glowing on Type but same are also mapped Metal on Specular map. There is no such thing as 'glowing metal' so Trove would not be able to properly display your design. You would need to chose only one and mark those blocks either as white on Type or as rough-red on Specular.

You can check for such technical issues yourself if you click on Trove Creations - Lint and Export button once you have your model opened in Troxel.

Last but not least - please be sure to preview your creation in the game and take a few screenshots of it. It is much easier to see if the design works good or not once you check it out in Trove itself. Step 5 of our how to get started guide has detailed instructions on how to get that done. https://trovesaurus.com/page=3749/how-to-get-started-with-trove-creations#step-5-preview-your-creation-in-trove 

Im going to set status of your creation to Active for now, set it back to Needs Review if you upload changes. If you would rather work on something completely different, you could set status of this one to Draft, that will free up a creation slot for another style.

Good luck in any case!
