11Overview33Musket is a Uncommon musket-class ranged weapon in Windrose. An ordinary musket that fits your hands like it was made for you.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 ClassMusketsRarityUncommonDamage550 PierceScalingPrecision (B)ATK (Item Level 15)380ATK (Level 1 crafted)100Stack Size1FlavorIt's the shooter who's to blame for a missed shot, not the weapon.1111Crafting1212Craft at the Weaponsmith Workshop (Level 1).

Long-range Precision scaling makes it the counterpart to the Pistol and Blunderbuss, but with longer effective range. Replace with Reliable Musket or Buccaneer's Friend once the Rare recipes are available.3333Lead 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.3535Talent Synergies3737Precision-scaling weapons pull from the Marksman branch of the Talent System. Relevant picks include talents that boost Pierce damage, Critical Damage, stand-still bonuses that extend the Buccaneer's Friend spread perk, and gunpowder efficiency. Precision firearms reward investment in talents that increase rifle-style precision at range.3939See 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.4141Comparison Within Class4343Musket sits alongside 3 other muskets on the current live index. Consider the alternatives:4545Infantry Musket: Rare / Epic, 575 Pierce, Agility (A). Allows you to perform a special bayonet attack with [F]. This weapon's Damage scales with Agility.Reliable Musket: Rare / Epic, 600 Pierce, Precision (S). Reloads faster than other muskets.Buccaneer's Friend: Rare / Epic, 585 Pierce, Precision (A). While standing still, weapon spread is almost eliminated.4747See Also4949Ranged Weapons for the full firearm index.Weapons for the cross-class roster.Muskets for the musket category roster.Precision is this weapon's scaling attribute.Gunpowder is the ammunition every firearm consumes.Weaponsmith Workshop is the crafting and ascension station.Combat covers stamina, posture, and firearm animation frames.5151Pair with a Pistol for Continuous Fire5353Muskets are two-handed and cannot share the main-hand with a one-handed melee weapon the way pistols can. That is the biggest drawback of pure musket play: while the musket is reloading, you have nothing to do except wait for the animation or swap fully to another weapon. The easiest workaround is to keep a Pistol in a second hotbar slot. Pistols reload passively from anywhere in the hotbar, so even while the musket is in hand, a pistol in the second slot is quietly refilling its rounds. When the musket runs dry, the pistol is already loaded and ready for a finisher or a closer-range shot.5555The opening-shot pattern. Muskets shine as opening-shot weapons. Stand far back, whip out the musket, land the first hit before the enemy closes, then swap to a pistol plus saber or cutlass kit once the fight becomes a melee. Both weapons scale with Precision, so the stat investment covers the whole loadout and no talent points are wasted.5757The exception: Infantry Musket. The Infantry Musket scales with Agility instead of Precision and has a bayonet melee attack on [F], which makes it the one musket that can substitute for the melee main-hand entirely. Pairing it with a blunderbuss or a pistol opens an all-Agility kit that is very different from the standard Precision musket loadout.5959Ammunition upgrade. For boss fights and elite encounters, switch to Bullet Arborum for the bonus critical strike damage. Ordinary Iron Bullet rounds are fine for regular mobs and save the Plague Wood and Essence Arborum stockpile for when it matters most.6161Game Data6363Properties6565PropertyValuePrecisionB6767Crafted By6868Crafted at: Weaponsmith Workshop7070IngredientQuantityWoodx10Copper Ingotx77272Disassembles Into7373MaterialQuantityWood×10Copper Ingot×77575Sources7676SourceDetailChests and enemiesSee the Loot Sources table above for each chest, its location, and the per-pull drop chance.
