"A report on the VN Board"
Posted by rbrown on Sep-15-03 at 11:49 AM
Someone is claiming that Modern Weapons can be increased to 10 (or have 10 added, they are uncertain) by using the rocket launcher on the dummies. I had always considered it a waste of money to fire those worthless rockets so I never tried using them. Just wondering if anyone had heard of this.

(Since they are unsure of the details)

But, they should work the same as any other weapon ... use it and you eventually increase the associated skill ... are they meaning that you get a +10 bonus when using them? It is not listed as such on Mindflay's site ...

I am pretty sure that you do. I don't even think you need to actually use the Rocket Launcher. If I remember everyone with the ability to learn Modern Weapons gets 10 points. Can't remember if your Gadeteer gets an added 10 or not. I think just those with 0 get 10. I'll be there in a few days, hopefully, and will see for sure.( last IM team got cornered by a bunch of baddies that included a Queen Ant and 12 Brigands while they were level 9. It wasn't pretty. )

Ok, the final answer. I had a party go to the training and this is what happened.

My fighter and lord went from 0 to 10 in modern weapons. My gadgeteer gained no points( she started with 12+25% for 16( I created a temp gadgeteer for this). Note that you do NOT have to attack the training dummies to get this. I checked right after talking with Rubble.

Vi Domina had 6 in Modern Weapons and my other valkyrie had 0. The OV fired off one shot, then Vi and OV swapped weapons. I checked Modern Weapons first, and Vi had 10 points and OV had 10. In the next round I equipped the bard and fired a shot, and equipped the ninja in the round after that. Neither of them got any points.

I did figure out how to cast an elemental across the barrier - use the right mouse button to raise the blue wand, move it over the barrier then lower to the ground. Don't block your view of the dummies or combat ends.
