![]() “We knew then that we wanted a ‘ranged’ class, but the gist of that was still very nebulous,” describes Echtra’s Co-Founder and Torchlight 3’s Project Lead Tyler Thompson. Designed to enable playstyles unavailable to the Railmaster, Dusk Mage, and Forged, the team began to refine the character class in 2019, but concept artwork started as early as February 2017. While it is the newest of the character classes, the Sharpshooter has been in the works for a little over three years. With deadly accuracy and an assortment of ancient spirits at their command, the Sharpshooter is ready for adventure. Some form close personal bonds with these spirits, who aid them on their journey. Many of the artifacts house ancient spirits who once dwelled within the ruins that Sharpshooters prowl. Sharpshooters gather their own collections, evoking the "Finder's Clause," found in most Pursuit Contracts, which allows them to keep a portion of their finds. Sharpshooters are among the most reliable adventurers, able to use their skills to procure artifacts hidden deep within trap-laden tombs. The most talented become famous performers and athletes, their prowess growing to legendary proportions.Įach year, the Red Haven elite hold an exclusive competition known as "The Pursuit." Competitive nobles vie to amass the most fabulous collection of artifacts, hiring adventurers to gather unusual artifacts to fill their galleries and parlors. There are Sharpshooters who specialize in distance aiming, trick shots, or speed shooting. Though the hill folk may have been subsumed into The Empire hundreds of years ago, their descendants carry on this proud tradition of archery and marksmanship today. ![]() Sharpshooting is a sport that owes its origins to the hunters of the Ember Hills surrounding Red Haven.
