I have some questions though. I'm still on the trial and haven't had much time to use guns. I was wondering how effective are they? Also, when I start up the game, at the loading screen, there is a dude in a space suit and gun. Are those high level equipment or can we get something that looks similar early? Thanks ^_^

    Guns and all range skills are completely unavailable on the trial island. They require very much more work than other offensive skills, mostly because they need ammunition, but they can be effective, particularly the launcher and autolauncher - pistols are rather like daggers and so are mostly harmless, but can't be dual-wielded. The karavan storm-trooper on the loading screen is a npc not yet implemented in the game, so no, you cannot and will never be able to get equipment like that.

    I’ll attest to the effectiveness of at least the autolauncher (one of the heavier options in the ‘ranged’ category). As a healer at the last OP battle I was getting decimated by a certain Zoari with a big gun.

     

    I’ve found rifling rather effective for leveling, but the poster above is right. Instead of one line to level (just a melee weapon) you have two (so as to support yourself with ammo, that you must craft for yourself.)

     

    I’d voted effective and fun in anycase.

    On the other hand... you can use all three damage types (smashing, slashing, piercing) with the same gun and skill, just use different type of ammo. My best melee skill is smashing which can be very ineffective on certain mobs, ranged combat is more flexible in this regard.

    And running and shooting with a "area of effect" weapon like the autolauncher is the most fun I had in the game. You gather a train of mobs and damage all of them at once. Though I get a feeling it looks a bit like a chase in Benny Hill...

    Guna are a lot of fun. They are a challenge, so don't expect an easy grind like with healing or nuking. At the moment your required to level up your harvest and craft levels up with your combat level so you are self sufficient in terms of the quality and quantity of ammo you use.

    www.ryzomranger.co.uk has some info. on the Ryzom gun skills and pictures you might like to see.

     

    There is also a big update coming soon for the ranged skill!!
