About customizing (a bit noobish)

So how can a veteran GW player like me ask such a noobquestion? One reason; I don't dare to try!

The question: Got a PvP Elementalist I've been using for quite some time now and I got a weapon on him that's pretty sweet. My question is; if I delete him, make an RP character with the same name, will I be able to use that weapon? My guess is "of course you can't", but I would like to know from someone who tried...

So.. Anyone had the guts to ever try this?

Stupid of me to customize it huh? Yeah, I know... lol

no you can't

Of course you can't. I tried it once with armor, a long time ago.

And No, it's not stupid to customize. If you plan on keeping and using that weapon on your character, why not get that 20% boost? If nothing else, you can always Expert salvage the mod(s) off it so it won't be a total loss.

Imagine it as if each character is assigned a number upon creation. Character #1607 won't be able to use an item customised for character #1606, even if they have the same name.

But why do you need to customise items for PvP characters anyway? Don't the created weapons (from the "j" command panel) come pre-customised?

Heh, that's his point, he likes the customized item his pvp character is using, and wants to transfer it to a pve character

Ahh. Thought he had a weapon from a PvE char which he wanted to customise on a PvP char. Gotcha.

NO DON'T TRY. Bad bad memories

Anything that's customized by another character (even if it's the same name) it can't be worn but any other character.

Confirmed, bad memories about this and some festival hats.
