I always used to customise pretty much all my good weapons, however now we have Heros to equip I tend not to customise as much as you can't then move weapons between the heros belonging to different characters.

The most expensive item I recall customizing was a req. 8 15^50 Gothic Dual axe that I modded up. I don't really regret doing so, as I still have the char and still use the axe. Besides, money is money. It's not hard to make and I'm not going to sweat over it in a game.

The second most expensive item I've customized was my only Rago's Flame Staff drop. I figure it's a green, and greens come a dime a dozen these days, are easy to farm, etc. If I really want the money from it I'll go dig up another one somewhere. I did it just to say that the staff was mine back when I thought it was worth a damn :P

Would be nice if they made it so that customizing a wand or staff would give +2 energy instead of +20% damage.
Exactly. I don't understand why someone pays extra for a 15^50 sword, and then passes up +20% dmg (constant!) by not customizing, unless they are only trading items.

Notice to hackers: I customize everything

A req 9 Fellblade 15>50, furious, health +30.
And I customized a Kanaxai's Edge when it was still 100k+20e
But I made the money back when they opened the elite missions when I got the sword drop twice for me and the axe as well.

Amen to that, brother!

My warrior has all of his weapons customized (all Tyrian -5 energy Hand Axes and Plagueborn Mauls) other than his Icy Dragon Sword. The IDS is currently my favorite skin, but it's not the "end all be all" for me like my Hand Axes and Plagueborn Mauls. Luckily, I only use my sword when I'm playing stance tank.

Heck, even my casters have all of their primary wands customized. The only items I use on a regular basis that aren't customized are my +5 EN HoD sword of enchanting and my +5 EN Wicked Blade of Fortitude, since my casters don't attack with them.

I'm about to customize my Wintergreen Wand to my warrior. Anyone know if you can add a 15>50 inscription to it (I haven't tried yet)?

I customized a max damage Dwarven Axe but it doesn't have damage mod on it. Also most of my caster weapons are customized to give extra damage.

Probably Victo's Blade, Elswyth's Recurve Bow, and an IDS -- all were selling around 100k at the time, none are worth anything near that now.

r12 Ancient Daggers, +5e, Ebon and 30HP
r10 Gothic Sword, 15^stance, 10% Furious, 29HP
r12 Chaos Axe, 15^50, Zealous, 30HP.

I don't customize anything below r9 since I love to powersell at random times.

Wow, all you people with these crazy rare items. The most expensive thing I have customized: The Mindclouder on my Mesmer. Second most expensive thing? My Crippling Feathered Longbow that isn't even max damage. Third? Banana Scythe.

Being an Assassin, it is vital for me to customize as 20% constant is well worth it.

Probably my most expensive weapon would be my req12 +5e Dragon Scythes. Certainly not regretting it though, as I bought them for about 2.5k.

However my most expensive customized items would be my obsidian set

No, no it's not.

I still don't see why people don't customize staves and wands; it's not like most of you have multiple casters of the same profession and transfer weapons constantly. You might as well customize and get the extra damage from wanding (insert wanding joke here).

Now where is Dral with his monk's goodies?

In my mind, greens are next to worthless. From a pure resale value though, your statement is also false. Any of the crystallines mentioned would sell for much more than this. Even the low req rares with 15^50's are worth far more than this. Plus, greens don't hold their value.

From what I've seen so far I would say the value is in this order:
1. req12 15 unconditional dwarven
2. Akh's req8 15^50 Crystalline
3. The req10 15^50 Crystalline
4. The req11 15^50 Crystalline

Actually I am one of the few cases with the transfer thing.

I got a gold r9 Air Staff with +15e, 5e^50 and +29HP. Right now my Ranger and Sin uses this same staff; Ranger uses it for trapping and my sin uses it to spam Deadly Arts in AB. Soon I might make a PvE ele and have it use this for Air Magic.

Just letting you in on an exception. ;D

Anyways, I dont really customize my items, although I have thought about it with my ranger drago's flatbow...but then I relized I probably would never play her again in 2-3 months, and opted against it.

the 8 15>50 and the dwarven would both hit the max of 100k+1750e.
if it actually went past that, i honestly cant say where the dwarven would stand.
personally i value my no cond serpant over my crystalline, however, it cost me less than i would expect an 8 15.50crys to go for.
same goes for zraves axe, personally i value it higher, but i dont know if it would sell for more or not.
the no conds, are, imo priceless for the most part, but they dont always have the highest going rates. spils 8 15% axe only cost him 400 ecto, which is pretty ludicrous when you consider it is the ONLY 8 15% no cond axe. granted, the skin wasnt the most popular.

The mere fact that you guys customized these weapons restores my faith in the game and makes me feel much better about customizing my req 8 15^ chaos axe.
