What weapon design would you like to see in Mabi?

  And don't even get into cylinders-- those things can't even sustain a gust of wind without malfunctioning, much less enough steam to create the pressure to blast out a physical projectile.

  
  
  Not really, they are strong enough to maintain the pressure of a giant rock-man stuffed inside, so they should be strong enough to maintain pressure enough to propel a pebble.
  
  Water crystal + Fire crystal = steam. So the alchemist wouldn't have to expend any energy on building pressure. They'd just need to use a clay crystal to plug up the cylinder, mix the two other crystals, then simply let go.

  Remember about heat buster too. A mini nuke is able to be fired from a normal cylinder, but 4 wind blasts in a row can't be done. Odd huh?

  It's not that difficult to understand if you think of a cylinder as an engine as well as a container.
  
  In order to propel fire, you wouldn't have to have as many revolutions per second, but air is very hard to focus mana in (which is why there's no air bolt spell) so it needs many many more revolutions per second, like putting it into overdrive.
  
  So it's probably not in danger so much of breaking as it is of burning out, so to speak.

  How about picking up dead bodies and using those as weapons? Go through Ciar Advanced using a dead Dark Ratman :D

  
  
  Puppet master with dead bodies... Yes please!
  (Saw 3D traumatized me with how Hoffman used dead bodies)
  Or just regular wooden puppets (could look like us) would be awesome, they could handle similar to the Golem but with us moving as well.

  probably not the best weapons, but just throwing this in there xD

  How I have been searching for a thread like this...
  Human and Elf ranged weapons: Guns
  Humans and elves can dual weld pistols, but rifles are two handed (elves can still weld). Drawback is that elves have slower firing rate for the rifle since it has recoil.
  
  Pistol: The early form of a pistol featuring a long barrel and a polished wooden grip. It's small design means it can't fire a bullet very far, however with it's high damage rate and speed it can kill quite efficiently.
  
  Fast Ranged Weapon
  1100 Range
  19~31 Damage
  5% Critical
  0% ~ 100% Injury Rate
  40% Balance
  15/15 Durability
  0/5 Upgrade
  
  Rifle: The longer and more sturdier equivalent of a pistol, the rifle does impressive damage at longer ranges. It's design allows for better balance and aiming but it is a slow firing weapon which is not recommended at close range.
  
  Slow Ranged Weapon
  23~42 Damage
  10% Critical
  0% ~ 100% Injury Rate
  50% Balance
  16/16 Durability
  0/5 Upgrade
  
  Ammunition: Bullets come in stacks of 10 (50 bullets per stack) and are sold at all blacksmiths except Taunes and the Giant Weapon Guard. Bullets are 100g for 10, making them expensive projectiles. For 350nx you can buy a stack of 500 bullets. To equip bullets you much purchase an ammo pouch for 5k from the same blacksmiths whom sell ammo. Drag and drop bullets into the pouch to use, max amount of bullets per pouch is 250. When buying an nx 500 stack, you get a free pouch which CANNOT be refilled.
  
  Skills: The gun relies on skills unique to the weapon. Gun Mastery, Spit Fire, Crack Shot, Explosive Shell, Shotgun.
  Gun Mastery - Boosts initial damage for the gun and it determines rate of missing (higher the skill, less likelihood to miss)
  Spit Fire - Equivalent to arrow revolver, has a cooldown of 10 seconds.
  Crack Shot - Fires a bullet without the need to aim, low chances of it hitting, when it hits the enemy it always criticals.
  Explosive Shell - Fires a bullet packed with explosive material, when it hits it explodes, ranking the skill increases damage and radius of blast.
  Shotgun - Aim for one enemy and the bullet splits and hits all nearby enemies, ranking it increases the amount of enemies which can be hit with a single bullet, unlike crash shot it causes aggro, good for tanks.
  
  There, done :P

  In my vacuum lab, there's a vacuum pump to rough the chamber down to E-2 ~ E-10 ATM, or atmospheric pressure.
  
  The size of that thing isn't even up to the size of a cylinder in Mabinogi.
  
  
  Last but not least, that baby can go all the way up to 60K RPM.

  They don't keep a giant rock man stuffed inside. Neither golems nor barriers are actually ejected from the cylinder. Insofar as I can tell, their molecular makeup is stored in the crystal and, when fired, it simply converts the surroundings to suit those needs. Barriers form and rise up from the dirt, etc.
  
  As for Heat Buster-- flame is insubstantial, and will expand in the nearest open direction to follow it's air supply of it's own accord. Steam, like wind, would need to be built up in the chamber, then focused and released. At best, I could see a gun-like skill arising that has a significant durability penalty on the cylinder. -3 dura per shot kinda thing.
  
  It would likely also be slow to load, although may do a linear "AoE" to pierce targets directly en route to the actual target.

  I could almost see this being used just to destabilize and then launch crystals so they explode on impact. Water cannon at mach 3, yes please.
