Hi guys,

I have a little question about customizing.
If you customize your weapon, only that character with that name can use it right?
So the following question is ...
If I delete my character with that name, and I directly make a new account with the same name can my new character use the old custumized weapon from the old account then?

Hope it's clear ^^

No, trust me I tried

No. Each character actually has a unique code attached to that name. That way, this won't work. That also allows people who have been banned and had to have their name changed to keep their old equipment. Stuff is actually customized to that code, not the name.

While its true that if you delete a character after customizing a weapon, then recreate a character with the same name, you won't be able to use the weapon on the new character... there is one fact that should be included... once a weapon is customized, the character that customized it can use OR that character's heroes. So you can always throw it on a hero if you're not gonna use it anymore.

Customization underneath customizes the weapon or armor to character ID, not name. So if you delete and remake it won't work. I assume it's like that mostly for people that have to change their names when they get reported, or just changing their name for fun, so they keep their stuff. The Name is just text.

Its also to prevent exploits.

Else you can make a warrior, get the the 1k/5k/10k/15k/obsi armors you want, then change to a elementalist with the same name and use the 80AL basis on there instead of being limited to 60AL.
