No. I made this mistake back when I first created my main character and wasted 7 points on craft weapon. Unless it was changed for V3, points in these skills only help you to customise the appearance on weapons and armour after their creation, not during the process itself.

You will see that customization can also become important in flushing out your character, but as a rule the skills are not very consequential

There are some (drop) items that can give bonuses to craft armor or craft weapon. Keeps your eyes open for them, or find someone who has a set that they can loan you -- it'll reduce your customization failures by a fair bit.

Its all fine and good to just play the odds with lower level items, but I believe the DC goes up as the value of the item goes up... So to customize platinum armor is tougher than copper.

And it changes according to the part you're trying to change (at least for armors), and changing the torso on a Adamantium armor cost aroun 300 I think and the DC is something around 15. So yeah you want to get nifty items to help... because failing several times can mean you'll be broke soon. Though if you have such an armor you'd probably don't care much about gold anyway *grins*

On a semi-related note, Timulty got stripped naked when V3 came out - seems his clothing had become light armour. Now, he was able to track down another set of clothing before hideous hideous embarassment became an issue, but was this a bug, or can clothing be customized into armour now?
