Marksmanship is a bit different than most weapon skills, as there are few "pure" marksmanship weapons that work on their own. Marksmanship also effects archery with bows and thrown weapon to an extent, and are also raised by these.

Suggested Skill Progression:

  • 0-20 Catty from Willim (can only get at level 5 or below) or from Morin Farm at any level. You need to "fill pouch" periodically to get pebbles for it.
  • 20-40 Staff-sling from shield hand. Essentially just a bigger catty.
  • 40-100 Crossbow from Hermit.
  • 70-100 Elemental crossbow
