Well, to create an item, first
You know that screen where u choose your missions right? Its where u are after clearing the tutorial.
Go outside and u are in a map that looks has 3 enterance : \ | /
go to the / and u are in a dark room with some green stuff. Then run up and talk to that thing in the middle. After which u have a few options, just choose the 2nd option to make your weapon. Anyway, u will only get to equip 1 weapon at a time. So, the weapon creation are pretty much just for fun biggrin.gif
Just a note: level 1 ~ 3 are usually the same combo, but level 4 might have a different combo all together, for example. the H element rapier. Level 1 to 3 is a simple multiple stab combo while level 4 lets u spin around like a tornado.
