On Redemption, you can have your very own custom gear made! If you plan to be a long term player and want to have something that you can always work on upgrading, making your first custom is the way to go.
If you are making a custom this guide will assume you know basic information about the game, but it will help provide a couple different paths in which you can follow when upgrading your custom.
NOTE: Regardless of this guide, it is YOUR custom. You can build it however you want. This is made to give people a path to follow if they would like to do so.
To see the prices of custom additions, go here.
Be sure to really look through that pricing sheet, as it also lists the maximum amount of each option that can be added to any specific custom item.

Stats
As seen on the custom price guide from above, stats consist of attack and strength bonus.
For this you would be adding stats for your respective combat style. If you are using a range custom, you would add Range Attack Bonus and Range Strength Bonus.
These are the numbers you see on the right side of your equipment screen in-game.
Tribrid Bonus
Similar to stats, you will add Tribrid Bonus relative to your combat style.
The price on the sheet from above is the price for ONE combat style, meaning if your main combat style is Range, you would add "X"% Range Bonus.
Tribrid Bonus are the numbers you see on the bottom right in your equipment screen in-game.
Damage Multipliers
'Damage Multipliers are what will give you the big hits. These do exactly as their name suggests, they multiply your damage by X amount depending on what multiplier you have.
You can only have 1 damage multiplier on an item.
Damage Multipliers are seen in the ::compare interface in-game, to see them you will have to scroll to the bottom of the right side.
Other Options
Most of the other options are utility based, such as Attack Distance, AOE, Drop Rate, and Healing Effect.
In this path the main focus will be going for the most damage possible.
Step 1:
Your first addition to your custom for damage should be to add a multiplier. Start out with 1/10 chance for 2x damage, and get it upgraded to 1/5 chance for 2x damage as soon as possible. Making this into a 1/5 change is a huge upgrade over the 1/10 chance.
Step 2:
Most custom weapons are going to come with some decent stats on them, but next to no tribrid bonus. The next step would be to add tribrid bonus.
If you have a very good and steady supply of Custom Credit Scrolls the best thing to do would be to add 100%, or even 250% tribrid bonus.
If you do not have a very good supply of Custom Credit Scrolls, add 50% tribrid bonus.
Step 3:
After adding some tribrid bonus, it is time to add some more stats to your custom. We will follow the same concept as with tribrid bonus.
If you have a very good and steady supply of Custom Credit Scrolls the best option would be to add 25k stats, or even 50k stats.
If you do not have a very good supply of Custom Credit Scrolls, add 10k stats.
For the utility path, we will focus on quality of life upgrades and utility upgrades.
Step 1:
AOE has a lot of uses around Redemption and is very useful for the price.
For general use around the server, 25x25 AOE is plenty.
If you plan to spend time farming your donator zone, 50x50 is more useful as you will kill more NPC's per attack.
Step 2:
Next upgrade for utility, or more so quality of life, would be max attack distance.
With max attack distance you will not be forced to move around as much to get into attack range of NPC's.
Step 3:
A good quality of life upgrade would be adding a healing effect to your custom.
Note: You do not NEED to max out this effect, even just 1 hp per hit is enough to be useful.
