Starter Guns

I found a vendor on the starter planet and he had some guns for sale
"SWEET GUNS"....not really the iron bow is way better than anything i bought (assault rifle and 2 pistols)

Do guns become epic later on? Because the iron bow is leaps and bounds better than what i found and it didnt require energy to use.

Also they really need to add directional attacks for melee weapons

 

Reason the Iron bow is better is because it's a level 10 Item, the guns you got on the starter planet will be level 1.

I would hope something 9 levels higher would be stronger, and yes, Guns DO get better, but they are also kind of hard to get your hands on at the moment.

Hopefully this will be addressed in future patches, because I didn't get my first gun until over 10 hours of game play (And at that, my melee weapons were better.)

 

i didnt see that my bow was level 10.
can bow be upgraded further then that?

i have faith that things will get balanced out. guns should be hard to get but they should be really rewarding when u do get one

 

I have not found a recipe to upgrade my bow (Yet, I haven't unlocked much past level 15 though, so I'm not an expert!)

A handy feature on the crafting screen when you craft a "Weapon" there will be a number next to the items name panel, that will tell you what "Level" the item is.

 

The bow upgrades from iron to steel, dunno if it goes any further than that but it probably does. Possible theory would be if follows the same resource tiers as the racial armor since it follows the first 2.

 

thats good to know but i really hope the bow doesnt always over shadow guns in the end.

 

The bow does not get any better than the Steel which is level 10, I'm currently at the end game content with level 35 armor and dual level 41 daggers, and I can safely say that the best range weapons you will have is those you find via miniboss drops.

 

The bow quickly gets overshadowed by the guns once you get your hands on some higher level ones.

Iron bow is level 10, Steel is 20.
