Hyper Deluxe Sniper Rifle Mk XVIIA new rifle with a rather grand introduction

New in Forever, the Hyper Deluxe Sniper Rifle Mk XVII makes an entrance before you even shoulder it. The name takes its time, and the crafting project gives you something substantial to work toward. This Epic Gun occupies your Ranged slot at item level 65 and requires level 60, putting it beyond the current beta level cap of 30.

Its damage is 64 - 120 at a speed of 2.50, delivering 36.8 damage per second. Alongside that, you get 21 Ranged Attack Power, 8 Stamina, and 6 Spirit. For the player who enjoys planning the next weapon long before equipping it, there is plenty here to consider while the journey continues.

Where it comes from

Engineering crafts the rifle at skill 300, with the recipe taught by Schematic: Hyper Deluxe Sniper Rifle Mk XVII. Gather 4 Malleable Essence of Nature, 2 Legionite Bars, 10 Heavy Thorium Bars, and an Azerothian Diamond for the craft. That is a satisfying collection to picture on your workbench: metal, a gemstone, and something with a little more mystery to it. If you enjoy the preparation as much as the finished weapon, assembling those materials gives the project its own sense of occasion before the rifle is ready.

Who should chase it

Marksmanship Hunters will appreciate a gun built around ranged damage, while Beast Mastery and Survival Hunters also have reason to give it a look. The appeal is straightforward: a crafted weapon to consider for your future ranged loadout. Warriors and Rogues can use this weapon type as well, though Hunters are the natural audience for its ranged focus. Choose it with the character you want to build in mind, not just the grand lettering on the name.
