Rokk Report post Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) OK searched the forum found unt nothing. EL needs Guns. Two types of Gun, a Pistol & a Rifle both of ~16th century musket design. Bullets should be made using Eng skill, with Ings; 4 Iron bar, 1 white fabric, 5 FE & 1 black powder. to produce 5 bullets, this would make the bullets at ~70-80gc dont know a good level to suggesting The guns themselves should not be manufacturable & secondly should be expensive, ~15k for pistol ~35k for rifle or more, they arent supposed to be cheap the guns cant have magic upgrades eg. thermal rifle the guns use eng skill to reload and have chance to crit fail causing loose of bullet only the rifle is 2 handed, slow, innacurate but powerful and causing considerable damage have visions of pistol being used in close combat as well as ranged (not sure how possible is this), single shot, cant be reloaded whilst fighting , same principles as rifle. the pistol would be a great addition, to my arsenal. in invance etc, if i have a brace of pistols, shooting the mob a little before i charging in, without having to get bow & arrows out etc also another use for white fabric outsde of pure aesthetics, maybe change the 4 Iron bar for 10 Gypsum. Hope you like my sugestings edit is for poor English Edited September 19, 2012 by Rokk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RipTide Report post Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) I could easily see muzzle loaders. They would be slow to load/reload. We have black power for mines, why not? Obsidian doesn’t have a use yet, it can be the projectiles. It could fall under ranging skill. Accuracy would be horrid until you reached a high level as would effective distance. Damage could be twice that of archery weapons. It would be a reason for rangers to reach 75+ levels. I've been told by a high level fighter that there was no reason for him to level ranging, he could almost tank every monster in el, why range them. This is a reason to level range. It could also be a reason for some long lost el players to come back. Something new to train, something new to make. We could even see monsters immune to anything but firearms. Short list of weapons that could be useable for this purpose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musketoon And before you poo poo this, we have mines and remotely detonated mines. These can easily fall right in line. Edited January 12, 2015 by Aquila Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxine Report post Posted January 14, 2015 And once in a while the thing blows up in your face .... (chances of this could be dependent on your engineering level, using this might even be a combined skill item) Would be fun to have a reason to level ranging, the 1 extra damage per 5 levels just doesn't cut it once you get above 50 or so. Since the range accuracy also increases with levels, you actually get LESS xp with higher levels under the same conditions (aka ranging from up close in instances and invances). Just as an illustration: A quick calculation of my cost to level ranging from 50 to 55 in the arena on Tell day with ER and WH perk and normal attributes (I got ~32 xp/shot on Tell), it would cost about 240kgc, the next damage point about 340 k gc etc. And this is under the condition you only level on someone else's Tell days and not including glyphs and CF to mule all those arrows. I recently reached lvl 75 and got 1 extra point of damage (full AP, elven bow, pk arrows, I do 71 now instead of 70), cost of that one point leveled in the arena would be about 1 Mgc. I stopped leveling ranging well before this point and have mainly ranged in invances and instances, which is a lot slower leveling but more fun and even profitable in most cases.

Rokk Report post Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) So in brief; The gun would be a muzzle loaded (maybe an EL shop xclusive item) requiring both Eng and Ranging to operate, dealing unspecified damage and loading/firing rate. firing bullets made from white cloth, blackpowder and iron and maybe paper. This could generate some irl cash Any more suggestions/comments? Edited January 14, 2015 by Rokk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikaris Report post Posted January 15, 2015 ...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O LORD, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
