Mastered rifleman in early august with a dlt20a, dropped it a few times but not for long and remastered it a few times, still a rifleman at the moment.

Old schooler here. I remember I mastered Rifleman like right before they fixed the T21, then nerfed it, then fixed it again...O_O;


I leveled up with my trusty laser rifle and warping mobs.

I forget when I mastered (I know it took me forever, I went up the wrong tree first, didn't know where to hunt, wasa total n00b) but wanted to be a rifleman since I started playing (two weeks after release.) It probably took me a good month to hit novice, then an age to finally hit master. Have been one ever since, and have no intention of dropping it.

I mastered using a laser rifle I bought from the bazaar. I didn't even know what a T-21 was until a friend of a friend, let me borrow one on a hunting trip. Rifle was my 1st profession and will be my last. The friend told me to go to the Kor Vella mall and see The Famous (now gone) Thoax for a selection of rifles. I leveled doing mostly faction missions (IMP) becasue I had no idea what the heck I was doing......

T21s are always expensive, takes a lot more junk to make on then a laser rifle. My weaponsmith breaks into tears everytime I tell her my T21 broke again.

I went for Rifleman/Doc from day one and have mastered rifleman twice now. Don't see changing it anytime soon.

I hit novice rifleman a couple days after they nerfed the T21s while grinding out missions to get the 200k necessary to pay for a pre-nerf. I learned the master skill box after some intensive hunting in the krayt graveyard from Wayev'da, who had mastered a couple days before if I remember correctly. Rifleman is my first and only combat profession. Oddly enough, I went to rifleman because everyone was playing pistoleers and bounty hunters and hardly anyone gave rifleman a second thought. It was tough going in those days. Conceal shot, 2.5x melee, less accuracy, no vasarian, MOB warping, had to walk 10 miles to and from school, uphill both ways. It was long and frustrating, but the payoff has been incredible.

Rifleman was my first profession. Started it at release, and took about 3 months to master I think.


Its funny how people are always asking me "Where do go to level rifles fast?" Of course I tell them, "Anywhere is good.... you dont get one-shot killed by leviasqualls." Then a 10 minute explanation of the old 2.5x melee system ensues. lol.

I remember those days...

MOB Warping, 2.5x, horrible accuracy, horrible damage, old-school titles, lack of laser/T21 rifles on most servers. Good times, living through those times deserves a freakin badge.

I mastered rifle*woman*, about a month and a half after release...would have been sooner if the weaponsmith's grinded faster and gave me some actually decent weaps i just took a 3 month break from the game...I refused to give up rifle even though it sucked ass before...it's so nice to come back and so many of the bugs to be worked out...what are all these new rifles im hearing about? are any good?

Well, i started my rifle ascention back in the day. I aquired the game in July, and from when i started my account on i was in the rifles tree and steadily ascended to the top. Mind you i did this when we had 000000000 accuracy, and laser rifles were the t21. *notes to self* "wish i still had a pre-nerf" *sigh*. Having master rifleman in a two to three month time period was a **edit**, the other problem is simply that we are now over croweded. I am still a master rifleman, but i wish some of these damn peeps would leave us and stop making all riflemen look like a s s holes. That was my very sparatic rant/ complaint. Anyways nowaday i am lookin into gaining master tk and dabbling pistols to complement my master rifleman.
