Refined or maybe even ornate Slingshot?

[Mythraelis]

Hi,
i can't find a recipe for a refined or maybe ornate slingshot. Is something like that in the game and wehen yes, where can i find/buy it?
Saw a video where someone was using a slingshot that wasn't the simple version.
I'm on asc astro/prov card lvl.

Thx for answer

At prov level you should make a handgun to my understanding.

You can get Refined Slingbow from the Ascended Forest Antiquarian trader.

Ok, i will try this, but i was in this realm and the trader didn't had such tool. Hmmm, maybe i overlooked it.

There's often several traders - couple of minor ones and one being the 'real' trader.

A slingbow is more powerful than other firearms if you raise it's damage stats to about 10k or more, and use lightning marbles. It becomes a grenade launcher.

And slingbows have longer ranges than revolvers and sometimes even Rifles because the projectile doesn't despawn at all it seems.

I take a revolver and shoots at something 50 feet away and the bullet just disappears.

Ok, but this wasn't the question. ;-)

It's the price to pay for no bullet drop, I guess.

About the refined slingbow...

Note that the handle is made of a pole and fasteners.

The pole is made from lumber. Gilded lumber also counts as lumber.

To make gilded lumber, you combine lumber and a metal. If you combine swam wood tier 4 (25% ranged damage) with a magnesium ingot (20% range and 15% ranged damage) that will be better than any plain lumber you could use.

Also combine with magnesium, pursuit or copper fasteners to make the actual handle. (Depends if you prefer an emphasis on range, damage, or magic).

Such substitutions cannot always be done, but when they can, it's a nice way to put a bit of extra work into making a better weapon, without being too cheesy.

You can go further if you use the coating + paper method, then create a foil using the paper, then smelt the foil into a ingot, then go make a gilded lumber, then pole+fasteners, then handle for it.

advantage of slingshot is the elemental marble deals aoe damage which is great, so if your not quake anything guy then it might actually worth crafting the refined one (you get it from ascended map which one i forgot)

Refined Slingshot is awesome.. esp with elemental marbles.. it effectively becomes a sort of grenade launcher
