So, I'm wrapping up getting ice spear pages and I'm aiming to get hailstorm, but I'm concerned about killing ice wyverns. As of now my only ranged attacks that can deal damage are alchemy based, but the last time I went hot air ballooning I was unable to use them to attack any wyverns. Ranged attack is out of the question and so far the only options I've been able to come up with are, a) Rank up firebolt and get a CC wand and full ice equips b) Full fire enchants and spam ballista in trans c) Spam Ballista in trans d) Spear of light. Does anyone have any suggestions? D: I have enough ap to get firebolt to rank 9 but I like to horde AP. Demigod skill exp is expendable for me but I have no idea if it can even hit if water cannon won't. Any help/advice is really appreciated :D

I'm pretty sure only WC works on Air-ballooning. Do note that you have to be at least higher than a Wvyern to shoot at it, maybe that was your problem. I'm not sure if SoL will work. You can try Balista.

Firebolt is effective even at rank F.
The only thing you REALLY need is the CC+4 wand. I remember I was killing Ice Wyverns with it when I had rD Firebolt (I have r1 now)
One other suggestion is to put Ice elements on your equipments for defense.
Seriously... WC? WC is ice based... Don't even consider it for ICE wyverns

Can always just ask a mage or hire one to help you. If you're on Mari I'd help you out with it.

Since this is a quest objective, I don't think party members count.

Yes, I know. I meant help weaken the wyverns enough so he could just firebolt it and kill it.

Firebolt really is the best way to go with wyverns, especially with a cc+4 firewand. When I did it. Boom dead dead dead, in 1-2 hits with r1 cc+4 firewand. That was with ice elementals on all my stuff too :evil:

Careful, even in a shock state, they will still attack you. xD

Water cannon works but only at very high ranks + chain cylinder and enchants.
This guy maxes out on stars in 3 minutes with water cannon:

WC works, but wouldn't the ice elemental of ice wyvern lower damage. though the person's damage is pretty impressive.

Yeah, I think it's ice element should lower damage to a degree. Though this alchemist probably powers through it through sheer damage.
I'm guessing this person's watercannon does up to 3~5k non-crit at full charge from their other videos so I'd agree that it's not something the average player could do.

Pre-g13, 5 charge WC can hit 2k normal damage, of course that was very up close, point blank.
Most likely with the new enchants, cylinders, and upgrades, it excels pretty high. I might as well invest time to either choose to become a mainly become a disciple of water or disciple of fire alchemy soon. (Not that you can't have both, but you will need 2 pairs of clothing to pull this off).
