The Gastrophetes is the Ranger Mythic Weapon, and as such requires the player complete several complicated and expensive tasks. It is a crossbow with average speed and attack for the weapon type. It grants access to the mythic Weapon Skill Trueflight. Due to the poor damage of crossbow ammunition compared to bullets and arrows, the high cost of the weapon, and the low damage of its magic based Weapon Skill, very few Gastrophetes have been made.
