I'm basically 2000 crafting XP from becoming a novice Weaponsmith (2000 XP before I finish Eng IV) and I was wondering what weapons you yourself are using and which route you went to get them. I currently have 2000 Pistol XP and everytime I try to obtain the int pistol skill the option to learn isn't there.................I can't equip anything without it telling me I don't have the skill to use it and it will greatly be reducing my damage..............

I have a DL17 pistol and a reinforced staff (created myself and it actually does 38-90 damage)...............please inform the under pistol priveledged..........
