11Overview33Infantry Musket is a Rare / Epic musket-class ranged weapon in Windrose. A musket of the French infantry square, tuned for quick drills rather than careful duels. Keep moving, keep aiming, and let the bayonet answer anyone who gets too close.55Muskets are two-handed long-range firearms that deliver the highest per-shot damage in the ranged roster. See Muskets for scaling, reload mechanics, and ammunition details.77At a Glance99FieldValueWeapon ClassMusketsRarityRare / EpicDamage575 PierceScalingAgility (B at Rare, A at Epic)ATK (Item Level 15)380ATK (Level 1 crafted)100Stack Size1FlavorFix bayonets, the last phrase any enemy infantryman wants to hear.1111Effects1212Rare and Epic variants share a base effect.

Base recipe: Wood x10, Copper Ingot x7.1919Upgrade Bands2121Infantry Musket uses the Musket and Blunderbuss upgrade bands: 5 bands from Lvl 2 to Lvl 15 with Copper Ingot x7 at the base, scaling through Foothills Iron Ingot and Mire Metal Ingot; Master's Tools is required from Lvl 7 upward.2323Item-level upgrades for Infantry Musket are performed at the Weaponsmith Workshop and follow the same per-band pattern documented for every weapon. See Weapon Upgrade Bands for the full per-band material costs.2525Ascension to Epic2727Ascending the Rare variant at the Weaponsmith Workshop converts it into the Epic variant and unlocks the Epic bonus line. Ingredients: Infantry Musket x1, Tumbaga Ingot x9. The ascension consumes the Rare weapon. See Tumbaga Ingot for sourcing notes and Upgrade System for the full ascension mechanic.2929How to Obtain3131Drops from the standard pirate and Old Skeleton chest pool at 20% per pull.Can also be purchased from the Tortuga Goods Seller for 1,000 Piastre, the only purchasable ranged weapon in the current build.3333Loot Sources3535This weapon rolls from the shared Pirate Chest Loot Pool at a 20% per-chest chance across 13 chest spawns (Blackbeard Crew, Buccaneers', Decrepit, Old Skeleton, Smugglers', and Thomas Richards' chests). See that article for the full chest list and locations.3737Tactical Usage3939The only musket in the roster that scales with Agility rather than Precision, thanks to the bayonet F-attack. Also the only ranged weapon with a fixed vendor availability (Tortuga Goods Seller, 1,000 Piastre). Epic tier removes movement spread, which turns it into a run-and-gun skirmisher. Fits Agility/saber hybrid kits that want a long-range option without respeccing.4141Lead with distance. Muskets are at their best when the first shot lands before the enemy closes. Precision builds favor standing-still shots (reduced spread); Infantry Musket's Agility scaling rewards mobile skirmishing instead. Watch your reload windows because muskets are two-handed and leave no parry option during the animation.4343Talent Synergies4545Agility-scaling weapons pull from the Fencer branch of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Pierce damage, Critical Hit Chance for light attacks, and Retaliation duration. Agility firearms also benefit from melee-speed talents since the typical blunderbuss or Infantry Musket pairing runs with a saber or greatsword main-hand.4747See the Talent System article for the current list of unlockable talents and their exact bonus values. Every firearm consumes Gunpowder, so stockpiling Sulfur and Charcoal for the Workbench conversion remains a background chore for any ranged build.4949Comparison Within Class5151Infantry Musket sits alongside 3 other muskets on the current live index. Consider the alternatives:5353Musket: Uncommon, 550 Pierce, Precision (B). no special effectReliable Musket: Rare / Epic, 600 Pierce, Precision (S).

Every Agility-scaling weapon benefits from the same stat investment, so an Infantry Musket user can fill the rest of the loadout with Agility weapons and have every stat point pull double duty. Three pairings are worth the slot:6363Saber or Cutlass. A one-handed Agility melee weapon in the second hotbar slot lets you slash between musket reloads. The Cutlass is particularly strong because Take Aim stacks boost the next musket shot by 10% per stack.Greatsword. The two-handed Greatswords class is the most common Agility partner for wide-area cleanup after the opening musket shot. The wide sweeps thin out enemies that the single-target musket round leaves behind.Blunderbuss. Both weapons scale with Agility and both are two-handed, so only one can be equipped at a time. Keep one in the hotbar for the engagement distance that matches: Infantry Musket for the opening mid-range shot, Blunderbuss for the point-blank follow-up once the enemy closes.6565The bayonet is a backup, not a main attack. The [F] bayonet lets you stab without fully swapping weapons, but the cooldown between stabs is noticeably slower than a saber or rapier's swing cycle. Treat the bayonet as an emergency tool for when you are caught at close range mid-reload, not as a primary melee option. For sustained melee, swap to the Agility melee weapon sharing your loadout.6767Armor set choice. The Pikeman Set four-piece bonus of +15% two-handed damage applies to both the musket and a paired greatsword, making it the cleanest full-set choice. Mixed builds that pair the Infantry Musket with a one-handed saber may prefer a hybrid with the Flibustier Set two-piece stamina bonus.6969Details7171Properties7373PropertyValueAgilityAAvailable RaritiesRare, Epic7575Crafted By7676Crafted at: Weaponsmith Workshop7878IngredientQuantityWoodx10Copper Ingotx78080Ascend Cost8181Ascend at: Weaponsmith Workshop8383IngredientQuantityInfantry Musketx1Tumbaga Ingotx9
