its useless to anyone but you now.but if u like it then its fine.

When you customize a weapon, you basically make it usable only by that toon. You have a bonus damage, but the downside is that other players won't be able to use it. You can still sell it so that the buyer can salvage an upgrade from it, but he will never be able to equip it. It's a good choice to customize a weapon if you plan to use it, but don't do that if you think you're gonna sell it to another player any time soon. In pvp custom weapons are mandatory though

There is one exception: a character's heroes can use items customized for that character.

No-one else can equip (and hence use) this weapon. Full Stop. Even if you were to delete your character and remake one with the same name, tht character could not use the weapon. This means no-one has a reason to buy it, effectively making it worthless.

So, what is Customising good for? Well, it's good for weapons you are sure you have no intention of ever selling. It's a nice thing to do if someone gives you an equippable item as a present - you're basically saying "I value your gift so much, I will never sell it." Oh, and your heroes can use weapons that are customised for you. And I've always assumed your heroes receive the 20% bonus too.

I customise a lot of my weapons, but I'm probably in a minority! It's always a good thing to do with non-max weapons, which you are using till you get something better, and maybe only merchant for less than 50gp.

What escoffier said... but note that your heroes can also use any weapons customized for that character.

It will not be able to use the weapon on other characters on the same account though

heh only salvage it if its not a rare skin or has almost perfect mods on it. Like a 20/20 sundering or 30hps etc. if you are wanting to get 10k for it most likely you will need to sell the actual scythe...although it maybe one of the mods that are worth 10k ...if thats the case salvage away (with an expert salvage kit)

A good rule of thumb I use is to cusomize weapons I aquire from collectors or green items that I need the stats on and will not sell again. Or if I know that farming another of that green item is something ill likely do then i'll custom one for my use and sell the rest.

IF your a Warrior, Dervish, Assasin or Ranger then having one customized weapon for maximum damage potential is a good idea. However other classes rarely ever need a custom weapon, never custom a staff or wand.

If you are a Warrior, Dervish, Assassin, or Ranger, you should have multiple customized weapons.

Wanding action is key. Besides, it's not like most wands and staves are so valuable you'll want to sell them later.
