Can I learn shoot on a Wyrmic?

[Shaidyn]

Dumb question inc. Just for fun I'm running around on my Wyrmic, learning the various weapon skills from trainers as a part of my goal to explore the world better. Staff and Mindstar were no problem.

But in Last Hope, when I talk to the shop keeper who offers training, my only option is 'no thanks'. How do I go about learning shoot?

Thanks.

... what? they only reason why one would refuse to teach you, is if you already had it!
i am going to take a look at it. if i find it, i wil write if there is an extra bizaare check.

and it should only cost 10 gold, you surely had THAT much. its like nothing at all...
or maybe it was 50? he teached something else for 50?

Code: Select all

		{"Please train me in the basic usage of bows and slings.", action=function(npc, player)
			game.logPlayer(player, "The smith spends some time with you, teaching you the basics of bows and slings.")
			player:incMoney(-8)
			player:learnTalent(player.T_SHOOT, true, nil, {no_unlearn=true})
			player.changed = true
		end, cond=function(npc, player)
			if player.money < 8 then return end
			if player:knowTalent(player.T_SHOOT) then return end
			return true

There is no other condition.
you need 8 gold, and not already have shoot.
that means you either have shoot, not enough money, or its a glitch/bug.
or, less likely, you missed it. that would would be rather hard to do...

I'm not sure, but the face that I already have combat training may be causing it some confusion? No idea.

Here are some screenshots of my skill page, the dialogue, and my gold total:

New note: Won't let me do all screenshots. Will do a second post.

you are new, aren't you...

"shoot", does not belong to any unlockable "category". its a standalone talent, which is either granted by any talent that requires a bow, or by other means.

since it doesn't belong in category, you cannot find it in your level up tree.

to see a complete list of actions you can perform, you press (by default) M.
there, the talents should be divided in.
-active
-sustainable
-sustained
-on cooldown
-unavailable
-items
-passives
(i think in that order)

as you don't have a bow equipped (otherwise you would know) shoot talent should be in the "unavailable" section, since you cannot use it without a bow, just like you cannot do deathdance without a 2h, or assault, without a shield.

now, i see that you are using ASCII (i think that what it was called?might be wrong) tile set (that is to say there isn't one), so some thing might be off, but i assume that UI isn't that different. nothing you've shown so far was too different.

And you have not actually shown a bow, with the "has shoot talent" requirement in red.

Thank you for the polite and respectful answer.

Are you using any addons? It's possible that one could be interfering with the shop menu.
