Time to Hunt Gunslinger Gearing Guide for Lost Ark

Time to Hunt grants us a large percentage of Critical Rate and has quick cooldowns on Pistol skills that make maintaining Bleed or Adrenaline stacks a non-issue.

Card sets are shared across both engravings for Gunslinger. In the early game you can use cards that help with survivability such as Field Boss II, We'll Meet Again and Forest of Giants. For optimal damage you'll want Light of Salvation at 18 or 30 awakening, though is quite a late game goal. Lostwind Cliff provides additional Critical Rate and is a solid stand-in as you gradually work towards Light of Salvation.

There aren't plenty of options to choose from, Time to Hunt's engravings are straightforward.

Engraving	Priority	Description
Time to Hunt	Necessity	Defintely run this at level 3, higher Critical Rate means less investment into the Crit stat.
Grudge	Very High	This is a staple damage engraving. As a DPS you should be using this as an immediate slot-in for your setup.
Peacemaker	Very High	With how efficient this is at level 1, you should always bring this engraving on your builds.
Keen Blunt Weapon	High	Scales incredibly well given the high Critical Rate. At an easily obtainable 60% chance, you'll get around 16% damage from this.
Adrenaline	High	Can be taken at any level, the additional Critial Rate is highly valued. Generally taken most at Lv.2 in a 4x3+2+1 build.
Cursed Doll	Optional	Highlights your squishiness while providing Attack Power. An alternative to Hit Master if you already have books for it.
Hit Master	Optional	None of your attacks have postitionals and is generally cheaper than Cursed Doll. The favored option between the two that rounds out your fourth level 3 engraving.

Starting in Legendary gear, you'll want the Preordained Diligence set from Argos to give you additional Critical Rate. You can use the 2-piece gear from Valtan Normal but it's only recommended if you intend on parking your character at 1415. Once you obtain Relic gear, you have some options depending on what build you want.

• Nightmare Flower: Provides the most damage overall, requiring an Awakening use at the start of an encounter.
• Poem of Salvation: Grants desired Attack Speed with similar damage to Nightmare depending on your weapon's quality. Building stacks from 0 doesn't take long but losing them by proccing "Take a Break" will be a huge damage loss.
• Shrieking Hallucination: Gives us even more Critical Rate if you're wanting to invest more into Spec/Swiftness or are considering dropping Adrenaline.
• Dominion Fang: Only taken with the Swift focused build for incredibly high APM. Breaks your fingers if you aren't careful.
