Venila MK1

The venila MK1 is the easiest rocket launcher to obtain in the game, though may take some time to receive (whether by trading or forging) for beginning players. Its proceeding versions are the venila MK2 and the venila MK3.

Efficiency
Venilas overall are quite useful for 1-shot stun saves, in which the player manages to inflict long-duration stun on wild animals and monsters that would've otherwise killed the Player, as well as a chance to burn the target. Being a two-handed heavy weapon it is difficult to master using it, since it has strong recoil which can mess with the Player's aiming. Carrying it slows the player down by 8% - though this doesnt sound like a lot, it can really add up if you're also carrying the rockets that the venila MK1 uses as ammo.

Forging/Trading
Certain materials needed to forge a venila MK1 can only be traded in, such as a mooncore and the steel (unless the Player has learned how to make steel; steel is quite time-consuming to make), so many people consider it cheaper and quicker to just trade an item for one. Offering a .14 ruby ryfle gives a 60% chance of the Player receiving a venila MK1 in return and a 30% chance of receiving a steel needleshot in return.

Mods/Runes
Venila MK1s have a poor mod and runepool, though there are still some useful addon combinations such as the feather rune plus the quantum displacer, which 1) reduces the weight of the venila MK1 and 2) causes the venila MK1 to fire & reload faster.

Upgrading
There are two ways to obtain a venila MK2; trading a platinum charm to an NPC that will upgrade it for you or forge it by hand separately.
