These are great for alchemists to skill-up on, and then make some nice gill on.

These are always in demand & there will be a time when your ah has run out, so thats the time to start churning them out, up the price & make some nice profit

I've been playing for awhile and have finally gotten around to messing about in my RNG suit.
My marksmanship is capped for lvl 30 by using crossbows as WAR and DRK. My lvl 3 RNG can buy a gun, but no ammo? I've already blown a huge amount of gil on Cooking (Artisan level, now), so I sure as heck don't want to spend weeks of game time leveling Alchemy and Smithing just to make level 1 bullets... Why, if you can't buy them anywhere, do they even exist?

This kind of nonsense is why I took 3 months off from the game...

I believe the level of tradeskill required to make these is level 14 smithing. With your level of goldsmithing though, you can make regular bullets and silver bullets. :)

I've seen a lot of people asking for others to make these for them. I recently got my Blacksmithing skill up high enough to tradeskill these, so if you see Eaze running around Bastok, just send me a tell and I will be happy to make these for you free of charge if you bring me the materials ;) Until then, I'll try to keep Bastok's AH stocked as long as the demand for them is steady. Good luck to ya' :)

All you people who like using guns here you go.
Use a Cross bow till your level 22. Then use your gun with 'Bullets'. Cross bow will level your Marksmenship for your later use of guns. Bronze bullets is kinda a wast of money.

I know no one has posted here for a bit but here is my recent experimentation with bronze bullets.

Alchemy|43.1|Smithing13.5

Conditions: Firesday|Wanning Cescent 38%
Advanced Synthesis From Azima in the Alchemy Guild

Results: 11 normal synthesis (33 bronze bullets)
1 HQ Synthesis ( 99 bronze bullets)
I then decided to try my luck without advanced syth on and still succeeded in making 33 bronze bullets.
So with those skill levels you can craft these elusive bullets, although as always it is cheaper to farm your materials >.<
Hope this helped someone out there ^_^

With Smithing Synth Support I was able to start making these at lvl 3. I was getting about 50% success rate with .2-.3 until lvl 5. Where I am now getting about .1 at about an 70% success rate. This does need to get updated to reflect the fact that it requires smithing (somewhere around 10 is my guess for now).

This is after synthing from smithing skill 10-13, and having no further skill increases after 13. Alchemy was at 40 the whole time. Hope this helps.

Use a crossbow to increase the marksmanship skill until you can equip a gun and proper bullets. These aren't worth the money.

That's not the point, it's rediculous that beginner RNG's can't even practice with the low lvl guns and ammo made "available" in the game (or in this case the very unavailable and/or gratuitously high priced Bronze Bullets). We want to use guns for the sake of using them, not just bring up our lvl's by practicing with crossbows for later use.

these bullets are worthless. a crossbow bolt does more damage and also raises marksmanship, as well as have less reload time. Only reason you should make these is if you're raising skill levels or showing off gun skills.

1x Firesand
1x Bronze Ingot
1x Fire Crystal

Necessary skill level unknown; the message I received was "Synthesis Canceled. That formula is beyond your current craft skill level," but my Alchemy is a mere 1. It is probably higher than Firesand, since Firesand is needed to make it.

Since I don't have a product to prove it, I can only speculate that the formula I just described produces these bullets, but it follows the appropriate pattern.

He means neither; his information is erroneous at best and outright malicious at worst. There is in fact a weapons dealer in Rabao; he sells REGULAR bullets, NOT bronze ones. There is in fact an outpost near the oasis in East Altepa; this is NOTHING MORE than a "border shop" conquest-related shopkeeper who does not sell these. There is another oasis in SW West Altepa; it has a stack of crates there but no shopkeeper. Simply put, there is no such NPC vendor, and going to either oasis is a surefire way to get killed by the dozens of goblins who choke the oases.

Has anyone tried Fire Sand + Bronze Ingot for these? Since Brass makes regular bullets and (presumably) Silver makes silver bullets, it would make sense.
