Website Description

An Arcana talent combining the Alchemy and Archery talents into a piercing elemental power.

Description

Loiscneach, the figurehead of the Alchemic Sharpshooter talent.

The Alchemic Sharpshooter arcana combines the fundamentals of Archery with a mastery of the four classical elements core to the study of Battle Alchemy. A master of this Arcana is capable of delivering precise strikes at a distance, augmented with a variety of effects generated by the properties and interactions of those four elements.

How to Obtain

• Reach Cumulative Level 20,000 and speak to Laoire of the Arcana Talent Association about Promising Arcana Candidates to start the chosen Arcana's questline and acquire the corresponding Arcana.
• Complete Dark Dreams of a Winter Wind.
  • Laoire will allow characters that do not meet the requirements for the above questline to start it anyways if you have Grandmaster in both Battle Alchemy and Archery already.
  • If you have Grandmaster in both Battle Alchemy and Archery, and are one of those two talents currently or this is your only available Arcana talent, you will begin the Quest The Fourfold Path of the Arrowhead.
• Completion of this quest will result in Alchemic Sharpshooter being active and Level 1.
  • Any character levels will now be counted towards Alchemic Sharpshooter for training.
• Note: Giants can obtain the quest if they fulfill the requirements (excluding Grandmaster Archer), but Alchemic Sharpshooter Arcana talent and skills cannot be acquired.

Details

• Talent Title: Alchemic Sharpshooter
• Alchemic Sharpshooter consists of six skills that require a Bow or Crossbow to use.
• The first element infused in the arrowhead determines the nature of the skill. The second element is chosen based on the synergistic effect it produced when combined with the first.
• Alchemy Crystals are consumed accordingly to the elemental arrow chosen.
• Humans cannot run with Alchemic Sharpshooter skills loaded unless they are using a Crossbow; Elves can run even while using a Bow.
• Elves cannot use Alchemic Sharpshooter skills while mounted, unlike standard Archery.
• All the skills of this talent, except Hermetic Harmony, can still be projected onto the target even if it has become immune to damage or cannot be hit by other skills.
• Despite the name and elemental theme, Alchemic Sharpshooter skills all deal non-elemental Ranged damage (they will trigger enemy Natural Shield, not Mana Deflector).
