Old Revolver
Weapon · WeaponHandgun2★A somewhat dated revolving handgun whose single shots land harder than the default Handgun's.
Old Revolver is among the best handguns by attack — 3rd of 24, at 1,200 against the 1,500 of Old Revolver.
This is where the crafting chain ends — nothing downstream consumes it, so a stockpile earns you nothing.
Details
It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot. At 36,720 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Old Revolver Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 120 materials across 2 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 90× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.
Where to Find Old Revolver
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is treasure map digs (tier 2) at 6.4% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Old Revolver
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 600 to 1500, a 2.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Old Revolver | 600 | 400 |
| 1★ | Old Revolver | 1050 | 600 |
| 2★ | Old Revolver (this one) | 1200 | 800 |
| 3★ | Old Revolver | 1350 | 1200 |
| 4★ | Old Revolver | 1500 | 1600 |
Ammunition Old Revolver Uses
Old Revolver fires Handgun Ammo, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
| ×20 | Ingot ×1, Gunpowder ×1 |
Schematics That Unlock Old Revolver
The Technology tree hands you the plain Old Revolver at level 33 for 3 Technology points, but nothing above that base version — the rarer builds are schematic-only. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
Fastest route. The fastest route is treasure map digs (tier 2), and the reason is the ladder rather than the top rung: that pool stocks every tier, so the common copies it hands you fuse upward into the one you want. Counting them, a top-tier Old Revolver schematic works out at roughly 56 containers against the 68 the 4★ drop rate alone suggests. Spare low tiers are progress, not clutter. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 2★ | Treasure map digs (tier 2), Desert chests, fishing in Desert +6 more — best 6.4% (grade 3/4/5/6) · Supply drops in the Forest (1.05%) |
