Ask a Pirate Thread

Regardless of how far i've gotten, i'm sure i'm qualified to answer anyway. Experience does not always refer to first hand experience you know, or at least i wasn't. By experience i meant experience with pirates in general, and with that you try to make me look hypocritical by stating that because i have limited experience i have no right to answer? Even if i was hypocritical, the situation still doesn't make sense by what you're saying as you're comparing someone who's making a completely ridiculous comparison to someone who stated nothing but truth. I won't even bring into the incredible presence i have over pirate forums in general because of my knowledge and successful guides though, because that's just bragging. It's not that hard to figure out anyway...

No I'm seriously asking. What version do you play whats your IGN, I'm sure if you were playing jms I would have at least heard of you by now. I really don't feel like arguing I just want to know where your credibility stands. Also I would love to see your guides and see how they follow through.

Has anyone worked out the minimum MP formula for Pirates to HP wash?

it's (level * 18) + 111 for the formula, apparently it was found by LazyBui here.

edit: eh though this thread gets more action can i get a merge please?

Does Floats manouverability get better as its level goes up?
I mean, the ability to go left and right with less resistance.

in Aqua Road, is the rate of decent while holding the UP key the same as how quick
a throwing bomb sinks?

Is the damage against your battleship calculated as soon as the enemy begins their attack animation, or after you actually take the damage? (Could I switch off the ship when i see a monster, such as pap, about to launch an undodgeable attack?)

Is it common to be overrun by larger mobs that Invisible Shot cant handle?

Can you use float from the air you recieve from Backstep shot? (Can you activate it when you are already in mid air?)

When you use Float while standing on the ground, does the automatic jump refer to the direction you are currently moving, or does it just jump straight up?

Does Gaviota help with training much?

(Sorry if any of these have been asked before, if they had, just dont answer and ill find the old answer..)

Is fake shot's stun interruptable like Shout?

Nope only the fall speed and mp change within Float

According to that vid, I think so

Uhh... I think your frames aren't invincible when you exit the ship. So, its calculated when you take damage.

I think so. But Gunslingers have great mobility, so you should escape the situation
Can you use float from the air you recieve from Backstep shot? (Can you activate it when you are already in mid air?)
Yes, I've seen it happen.

It doesn't do anything on the ground.[/COLOR]

Probably as a finisher. It disappears as soon as it drops the bomb.[/COLOR][/COLOR]

Yup

Is fake shot's stun interruptable like Shout?

Actually I think it only gets interrupted when Gaviota strikes.

Does anyone know if you receive bullets when you advance to first job pirate so i don't have to go around whacking monsters with my gun.

Also, does the gun have a range limit like (x)bows where it will whack or is it always going to fire?

Yes, 2400 bullets (3 x 800) in total i believe and they are not rechargeable.

Yup

your wrong on a few things. Float is its own skill that jumps and then does the float, you can't activate it in mid-air.

Also fake shot is just like any other stun, it will get interupted. Only stun interuptable to my knowledge is Wk's

JMS, i think my IGN in gunsnroses...don't really remember.

Pirate misconceptions, found in the gunslinger guide here as well.
Comprehensive guide to gunslingers.

I actually needed that. o.o Thanks. xD

You go left and right with the same resistance at all levels. Only the MP cost and decent changes.

No, they're both different. When charging you can't press up at the same time. I wouldn't worry about it, since it's not a viable training method.

That has to do with server information, which i'm not good at, but i'd assume it's whenever you actually take the damage.

Depends where you are. Usually, no.

No. Float jumps you up and floats you down. You can't use it in midair.

It jumps straight up.

Not really. It's slow and you have to constantly recast it.

Ranged attacks don't interrupt stun of any kind.

So if it's like Arrow Bomb/Hawk/Eagle, he was partially right. Most of a GS's attacks wouldn't interrupt Fake Shot stun, but Gaviota would if it's counted as a melee attack (which Hawk/Eagle are, to my knowledge).

and I don't see why you were all bashing on kingdj. He might not have been qualified to answer the question, but it's not like he told people to put 3 INT 2 STR each level or something.

Despite the fact that "hell levels" are completely opinion and it varies from person to person, so it really doesn't matter.

Still, most of us bash people who answer when they don't really know what they're talking about...it happens all the time on basil.

Your that guy? Are you even past 40 since your in still in pirates. I'm sorry but when it comes to the last few questions you have no credibility what so ever, I wouldn't overstep your boundries. Its like someone doing the Richard Petty driving experience and saying hes qualified to be a professional race car driver. You've had a taste of it but in reality your just as clueless as the real experience. Don't get me wrong I'm not much of authority either considering I'm only at level 50 but I can at the least give some insight in to what float and back shot are capable of, and ruust you have a point. I would have left this thread alone all together but that really bothered me.

it doesn't seem like it takes much to piss off a lot of pirate hungry bitches...

My question still hasn't been answered btw so this thread is phailing

Do guns have a minimum range like how (x)bows start whacking when a monster comes near them. I've been wondering this for a while now.

Yes, they have minimum range. Certain skills however, like Fake Shot, Ice/Flame, Backstep, and others don't have minimum range.

Does Battleshop Canon have min range?

From the videos I've seen it looks like it doesnt, or if it does it is very very close to the char, much closer than an Archers.

Well, I don't think Battleship has a 'whack' animation. So... probably not. I wouldn't know for sure, though.

I think that's the exact reason why it has no min range.

Cannon and torpedo have no minimum range.

I would have thought that since i have pretty much the same IGN here and on basil it would have been obvious that i was the same guy. O_o

what's that little blue thing that i see gunslingers throw around? :/

I guess you are talking about Homing. It is a little parrot's egg.
