Weaponry

Weaponry experience is gained every time a player lands one laser shot or missle against an NPC. The speed at which you gain weaponry will depend on the player's fire rate and how often the player can land shots against a worthy NPC, which is dependent on the player's hit accuracy and the NPC's size, evasion, and maneuver. In order to maximise weaponry gains, players should maximise the number of shots-per-round they fire by using guns with high fire rates, such as Bio-Spore Arrays or 4 MW Gatling, whilst also choosing to skill on NPCs that are easier to hit.

Suggested skilling

Non-premium

Up to 65

Non-premium players should shoot Starclaws for quick gains up to 65 weaponry.

Up to 90

Non-premium players will find reliable gains, albeit fairly slow, on the Z-series NPCs. Alternative, Glowprawns will provide faster gains, but are less prevalent and further from repair points.

Premium

Up to 75

Premium players can gain weaponry extremely quickly in the Pardus Core. Fly around the viral clouds, shooting all the Infected Creatures, Asp Hatchlings, Asp Mothers, and Xalgucennia you come across, all of which are common and easy to find. At 65 weaponry, stop shooting Infected Creatures, and at 70 stop shooting Asp Hatchlings. Once you reach 75, Xalgucennia no longer provide worthy gains and your weaponry skilling will slow down significantly.

Up to 100

Ancient Crystals provide the best gains up to 100 weaponry, but can and should be supplemented with Ceylacennias, Oblivion Vortices, Euryales, and Lucidi Squads when not available.

Skill caps

The following table provides a list of known NPC skill caps for weaponry; NPCs with unknown or uncertain caps have been omited from the table. As long as the player's weaponry is below the skill cap for a given NPC, the NPC will provide worthy gains.
