These are fantastic for Ballista, people like to do hit and run attacks on Rangers and lightly armored PT members and this will stop them in their tracks or halt their escape so your DD's can move in and gang-smash them :P
If you're a ranger in Ballista i'd suggest bringing a stack of these.
The additional effect also procs on Weapon Skills if you have the ammo equipped, Slug Shot with an additional effect of Stun... yum!

Meriting and End game Useful? Can they stun anything big?
I've been lvling alchemy, currently 68 and was attempting to synth these. I have lvl 14 smithing. When I tried to skill up off of these at 68, I had a 100% failure rate with 48 attempted synths and got 0 skill ups. So my question is: What is the real skill cap on these since it's obviously higher than the listed 71?
It's not higher than 71 I don't think.
I had alchemy 65 and smithing 14, had about 75-80% success and got about 2.5 lvls from 8 stacks of materials.
*edit*
PS- if anyone on Fairy needs these... I made them to skill up and I'm having trouble selling them >.>
Send me a /tell. Still have about a stack of pouches >.<

Me and a Friend just tried these out trying to see how much they activated. They activated just about 50-75% of the time meaning they activate alot. so not such a bad deal since they activate alot.

how accurate is the stun effect?
is it 100% chance target will be stunned when hit?

I levelled my smithing to level 14 so that I could skill up on these. The cost is somewhat high for what you get back but the skillups are at a decent speed. I got 0.7 of an increase off 2 stacks of materials. At this level an increase like that is pretty decent imo. Hopefully Venom Bolt Heads will be a good item to skill up on next cause I have 19 stacks of them from when I made venom potions.

In general I would assume that any materials associated with another guild... would require a certain amount of that guild's skill in order to make... so on that theory I am currently working on Smithing... it has been rumored that a 13 smithing skill will be enough to make these... so I am testing that out now... I will throw another post when and if I do actually make them.
Nightwulph.. Alchemy 68, Smithing 4, Goldsmithing 2, Cooking 22

how much does it cost to make these and how much do they sell for?
Been making these for a few days now. The smithing required hasnt capped out at lvl 10 and im still gaining smithing skill from the synths.
I recommend having a minimum of 9 smithing before you start. Ill see if i can find out where the cap is.

I've made them for a while too; my smithing finally capped at 14.

Considering the other bullets require smithing or goldsmithing skill to make them, could you check your levels in those skills or talk to the guild NPCs until they cough up which secondary skill this recipe requires?
It'd be good to get the secondary skill submitted here as soon as we can... I can't see myself getting from 39 to 70 anytime in the near future :) (need to get my goldsmithing up for bullets and silver bullets too).

Very useful for gunners. A quick macro thus:
/equip ammo "Spartan Bullet"
/shoot <t>
/equip ammo "Silver Bullet"
Can be used to cancel something that you don't want the enemy to do, like a bomb toss or a stoneskin cast. You may need a /wait of a few seconds between /shoot and re-equiping regular bullets too.
To clarify, the "stun" status prevents whatever action the victim would otherwise have performed next. Be it a special ability, spell or auto attack. It is not based on time. At least, not in my experience.

You actually have to put a /wait in here after the /ra <t> so that it doesnt try to change ammo while your shooting and cancel out the shot.. but it is actually somewhat useful. I have a macro like this. Like someone said, it isn't fast enough to use on bomb tosses or anything like that, but I've stopped many AM attempts w/ this.
and how do you think that you were going to stop a bombtoss with the huge delay gun has? youd be milage way from interrupting it >_<
the only thing i can see this useful in, is ancient magic. and then pray that the add effect kicks in.

Just a quick note on this:
The "Stun" effect does have a time period associated to it. its usually very short (1-2 seconds) but if you have the appropriate chat filter not enabled and you dont miss it in the battle spam, you will see the message "<mob> is no longer stunned", like i said, its quick, so you may not see it.

anyone have any info on this bullet?
37 posts
I dont know if its the info you want, but these bullet stun the enemy that mean he cant move or attack for like 1-2 second. So if you shot bullet right after another, the mobs will only attack one time between each, unless the stun property miss. If your in a team with many damage dealer but whm have difficulty supporting the heal it can be good, i always keep a couple of stack on me, i mostly use bullet but sometime i take those. I have see whm very happy when they saw i swith my bullet to spartan, you need to adjust to party ^^.
