  • bullets vs bolts

    i just wanted to get feedback. i'm totally new to rng (lvl 7 as of yesterday) but i played bard to 55 so i know a bit about the game.

    i was using the lvl 1 crossbow and lvl 1 bolts and loving it, killing stuff in 1 shot usually. when i hit level 6 i bought the ll 6 gun, houberchte or something, and a stack of bronze bullets for 8k.

    the first thing that was strange was, on the entire server (midgardsormr) there was only 1 stack available, in jeuno AH. couldn't find bullets anywhere else, not from any other AH or NPC (even checked norg AH).

    second thing i noticed was, damage was lower than xbow bolts! i thought since ammo cost went from 4/bolt to 80/bullet, there should have been a similar increase in damage - maybe not 20x but SOMETHING.

    instead, damage went down (i think) from usually 25+ to 10-15.

    am i doing something wrong or are people just not supposed to use guns until later levels?

    You hit it right on the noggin <^ ^> Guns are shit until you can get normal bullets or silver bullets. Me, I just don't bother due to the price of stacks. My bow does me just fine. If you want to skill marksmanship though, do some crossbowing for now.

      wow ... thats disappointing. i was really looking forward to spending a lot of money but getting toughs to 50% in 1 hit

      is it acceptable to just use (the highest possible) crossbow til level 22? i.e. will i be weaker than a ranger who uses a bow instead?

        Dont use guns till 50- Thats when you can use silver bullets and better guns
        Midgardsomr -
        7k a stack for silver bullets 81dmg
        8k(from what you said I have not checked) a stack for bronze bullets 1 or 8 or something dmg

        The reason is bronze bulets are expensive to make
