Lasso HELP

[jess]

Please help with Lasso... I need to upgrade to the stetson homestead, which means I need to upgrade to the second tier of lasso - I've finished the first tier (Noosance) and need to get the 3 points so I can upgrade to swinging lasso. I've spent 4 consecutive days lassoing the cows with horns, the coyotes, people, wild horses etc. I'm not getting any further and it's driving me nuts! I'm using normal lasso not straw. how do you upgrade further in the lasso skills?

[carleyg]

I just make bulk lassos and then just lasso my horse leave it on until it breaks and do it again with another lasso. Usually just scroll while I leave it go in the background.

I'm stuck on this, too. I have been using a regular (not straw) lasso.

I`m not there yet but i think u need level 3 lasso (needs spider silk)
U can also find it in loot boxes or barrels in some cave.

As Sasentos1 pointed out, you need the appropriate item to gain experience with weapons, tools, and lassos...

If you look at the skills page it will say something like:

IV guns or higher required to more experience

So, using a straw lasso you gain no experience or progress at level II
A regular lasso gives no experience or progress at level III


You get the idea

So, using guns...

I: Catapults
II: Copper guns
III: Dawson's Golden Gun (possibly into level iv experience)
IV Rifle (There's only a single level IV revolver in the game and no recipe :/ )
V Gatlin' gun

Lassos:

I: Straw lasso
II: lasso
III: sturdy lasso (needs spider silk to make)
IV: ( There is no level 4 lasso, as far as I recall )
V: Bat lasso (requires bat wings to make, which have an abysmal drop drop!)

bows: simple, sturdy, bronze, iron, steel

Axes and pickaxes being stone, copper, bronze, iron and steel

...

Addenda:
I think the target level may apply too,.
For example, so I would assume the Gatlin' gun (level V) would give little to no experience if used to kill hares (level I)
