Guide to "Skill Increase Bonus" on weapons

[Solaris]

Update 12. september 2008

These graphics are ment as a help to all newer players. A help to understand how the Skill Increase Bonus (SIB) works with weapons.

First a couple of charts showing at what level the learning period and skill bonus kicks in. Changing weapons at the correct levels will make your initial skill progress from 0 - 3000 relatively fast. (At least so we think!) Enjoy!

--------------------------------

Learning Period
When you click the weapon's info screen, the SIB will show a number for the recommended level of using the weapon. From this level and up is the "learning period" active.


Professional Standing
Look at all of your professional standings and their current levels, using your Actions Book ingame (hit "X"). In this book you find the star-symbol to gain access to the Professional Standings overview. Professional standings relate to the skills you aquire when acting in Entropia. All skills relate to sertain professions, and all skills add to your levels with different impact. For a complete view of all skills and their impact, take a view of this page in PE-Wiki.

The Professional Standings window will look something like this:


As a hint to compare your skills with the professional level, use your related combatskills divided with 100. Are you a level 15 pistoleer, indicates you have average 1500 skills related to handguns.

Max'ing out a weapon
All weapons bought from Trade Terminals as well as Limited weapons, have SIB within a definite range of your personal skill-level. They give you a faster skill increase as long as your skills are too low to use the weapon at maximum capability*

* No test results have yet been able to confirm this statement

As soon as you have the weapon at maximum use (Hit and Damage = 100%), the skill bonus will stop, and you may enjoy the weapon's full power. On which level this happens, is different from each weapon. Some jumps to maximum very fast, some are slower in progress.

Complete charts of information
www.entropedia.info is the place to find exact information about the range of SIB. It is also possible to add information in the Wiki about when the SIB stops.

Great job, +rep

Korss 380 and Korss 400 are so close, but the difference between them is twice the power (dmg/sec).

U must spread some reputation before giving it to Solaris again.

Well done indeed, TY!

Bump and +rep

This one should be sticky.
Maybe MA will introduce better laser handguns soon. but it obviously looks like a mistake. So much rifle "things" and none hg?

Absolutely wonderful work mate ... +rep
