should i bother practicing with them? i got my skill up to 50 with a musket while intending to get the blumberbuss after (since it has a larger clip). and of course, i cant find it at the umpani shop anymore. with no other guns in the game (that ive found yet) im wondering if i should go back to my 60 skill with a Xbow.

so um...are there any other guns in the game that use musket rounds and that a non-gadgeteer can use?

i dont need a detailed (read: "spoiler") list. yes or no and why is cool

thankee

There are a couple other Modern Weapons that non-Gadgeteers can use, but I'd say that overall, there are stronger crossbows in the game (if you can figure out how to get them...).

In my last game I bought two blunderbusses in the umpani shop (not at the same time), and as I was often visiting I saw a third one, also. I think they appear from time to time. Try just camping in front of Kunnar and revisit the shop. There are certain periods in wich the shop changes equipment. For example: three campings in front of Anton and he has new stuff.

ill give that a shot...tried camping once and teleporting back and forth.

thankfully ive got enough skill to attack twice and shoot twice now....i thought because it was a one-shot gun, thats all i could do per round. so its not too bad.

Can any character get the modern weapons skill? Right now only my gadgeteer and fighter have it.

But I have had others pick it up. It may be based on some factors, like other skills or maybe just level (and perhaps class - maybe just fighter types adn hybrids pick it up, probably not pure spellcasters?)

yeah my fighter, valk and lord (and vi) all have 10 in skill with it. well the lord has over 50-some now. i KNOW vi started with 10...didnt pay attention to the others. maybe i got it from umpani training or something.

... should be another modern weapon and I think that the 10 skill points come from the rocket-thrower-training in Mt.Gigas

Fighter, Lords, Valkyries, Rangers, Thieves and Gadgeteers can have it. Any other classes can also have it (from an item or imported from W7), but they can never increase it.
