The Prismatic Weapon is the only solo quest reward I know of that's better than a regular green, blue, or purple dropped item.
It can scale up to VR 12 and is always part of the Orgnum's Scales set (which can also be crafted but has a set bonus that isn't very good for most builds, unfortunately).If you do want a weapon with that set bonus, you're probably slightly better off using a crafted VR 14 weapon of the same set which has better stats than the VR 12 Prismatic Weapon.Spoiler
The Enchantment on the Prismatic Weapon is a unique one that you can't get on any other weapon, but it's not as powerful as it might seem: 880 damage every 5 seconds (let's assume it triggers once in 5 seconds even though it's probably less often if you test it). That's 176 dps added in the very best case, only versus daedric and undead enemies. Against all other enemies it does nothing.
So unfortunately, the weapon is not really worth keeping/using for its stats. It does have an Akaviri style look though (like some PvP set weapons do).
The silver and gold keys from daily Undaunted pledges, on the other hand, are definitely worth keeping until you are VR 14 I'd also recommend not spending any AP on PvP set items that aren't VR 14
I posted a picture of the purple one here:

What all weapons can you make? All the weapons? Or just certain types? Like can you make a prismatic dagger?

There are only a certain number of player crafted sets. There are over 100 sets in ESO and only 17 or so of them are crafted. The Prismatic weapons are unique rewards from the storyline.

VR 12 is the max, the quest only scales up to that level. The prismatic weapons can be upgraded to legendary quality:Akavir_Sentinel wrote: »
VR12 is max and as far as I know it can't be upgraded past epic.
