Weapon vendors in The Daunt region
The merchants inChainscrapeare initially unavailable.
Before you’ve got the option to access them you must progress with theTo the Brinkmain quest.
By visiting a hunter you’ve got the option to purchase several ranged weapons.
We recommend buying aSharpshot Bowin particular - it fires slow but incredibly powerful, special arrows.
It will come in handy early on to attack monsters that are on a higher level than you.
One of the hunters in the previously mentionedHunting Groundsalso serves as a trader.
Among his wares you’re free to find theRopecaster.
This is a unique category of ranged weaponry which lets you immobilize machines with ropes.
DuringThe Embassymain quest you’ll visitBarren Lightfor the first time.
We recommend checking the hunter’s wares in this area as well.
One of the weapons he offers is theGauntlet.
If you take advantage of all these opportunities you should have enough gear for the early game.
