Guide to "Skill Increase Bonus" on weapons

Hmm only when you kill interesting. I'll have to watch more closely I could swear I got upgrades during a fight and not jsut once killed.

Like Doer stated; upon a kill you get a "bonus" to your skillgain. This dont mean that you only skill up upon a kill, and not even every time you kill.

The thing you need to understand is, that noone here except MA knows exactly how the skill-gain works. We have some idea about it after comprehensive testings during 5 years, but to say that killing a sertain mob with a sertain gun will give you so and so many skills, is just not going to happen. At least not untill some MA-programmer start spilling out the codes.

I can only pass on the best advice I ever got. It worked for me as well as dusins of my ingame friends and disciples:

For best and cheapest skillgain hunt with SIB and always hunt mobs at your level.

The last part simply means, that you should hunt snabels, exa's and daikibas untill you feel they dont give many skills anymore. Then you head towards a bigger mob and VuPtI! The skills start rolling again

(For your information I can tell you, that I am now able to kill 10 Daikiba youngs without one green skill-line in the chatbox. Hence Im killing Trox, Feffs and Bots).

That is a great point!
so...
where is the chart that tells us what to hunt at each level lol

Yes it's all quite confusing.

But okay so you can get skill ups during the fight as well as after it good to know i'm not terribly insane then.

As to mobs and weapons /me shrugs
Guess i'll just have to pay more attention if i really want to know more.
Probably taking a long in depth look at my skills will help out to.

Extremely nice looking graphics

Good and needed info for all newbees as well as hunters with <3k skills.

Sticky this!

nice graphic!!

Not to be a pain, but is there anything the other way around?

I mean, when I see a carbine ( rifle ) with SIB NEVER I want to know when its gonna change to YES, at what skill lvl...

Does anyone know where I can find that? Or does anyone have any exp in this.

Do be exact im now bit over 2K rifle skill, but trough weapon tool, it seems opallo outbacko seems to be the most eco gun, I know very low weapon, like opallo, but fast and and low decay. I just hate the slow breer weapons, maxed out ( not 4 ) and L !

Jester D1, outbacko, ... but also other rifles ( carbines ) who knows when the SIB will be activated for me?

Never means "Not ever"

So, when it sais never, you will never get a SIB.
