 Customizing weapons costs you only 10 gold per weapon, cannot be removed or undone, and renders the trade value of a unique (green) weapon to NOTHING.
-Customizing a weapon gives you a bonus 20% damage modifier on it, but also makes it so that it is practically useless to any other player, including other characters you own.  The only use another player or character would have for a customized weapon would be to salvage it for the modifiers (and hope they get them).  However, having additional customized weapons laying about is not all that bad a thing, as the [[Heros]] from the [[Nightfall]] campaign are able to use any weapon that the character they are following has had customized.  So, if you have spare fire elemental equip laying around that you have had customized on your elementalist, then when you pick up Sausuke and Red Hoof, you can immediately equip them with your spare fire elemental equipment along with a copy of your fire elemental skillbar, since Heros can use any skill you have unlocked on your entire account.

 There are several factors to consider when penetrating an opponents armor.  All armor penetrations work from a value of 0 (no armor).  The higher the opponent's armor, the more of an effect armor penetration can have on that target.  Thus, if you are running 40% armor penetration, and hit 3 different targets (one at 60 armor, one at 100 armor, and one at 200 armor) with an attack that normally does 40 damage, the 60 armor defender will take 64 damage instead of 40, and the 100 armor target will take 40 damage instead of 20, and the 200 armor target would take 16 damage instead of 3.  This equates to each of these targets losing 24, 40, and 80 armor each, respectively.
-Certain effects can cause armor penetration, some of which are in effect at all times, while others depend on certain conditions.  The [[Warrior]] primary attribute [[Strength]] gives 1% armor penetration per attribute level, for a maximum of 16% armor penetration at all times.  The Hornbow type of bows give an inherent (not shown) 10% armor penetration at all times.  There are also several attacks that penetrate armor which can work in conjunction with these, specificallly Penetrating Attack, which negates 20% target armor level.  These effects also stack with weapon modifiers such as the Sundering mod, with a 10 - 20% chance at 20% armor penetration.  With all of these possible armor penetration effects working together, you can attain a maximum possible effect of negating 66% of the enemy's armor level.

-[[Assassin]] attack style is somewhat different from all other classes, in that their attacks must follow a specific type of order to inflict their maximum potential damage.  There are certain attacks that can skip to another part of the attack order, which always depend upon a condition to be met beforehand, such as the target being knocked down, or hexed/cursed.  Normally, however, you will need a Lead Attack in order to start the attack string.

 Weapon modifiers that can occasionally appear can vary from low to high values, with those that list a 15% boost as their maximum generally being the most sought after.
