How to unlock the Weapons of Choice achievement in Torchlight III - Definitive Guide
This is a solution for -
...both of which can be done together. The description on each of these seems obvious - but after equipping every armor type and weapon type available to me as a Sharpshooter main, it didn't pop. I started googling, and the only thing I could find was this - https://www.reddit.com/r/Torchlight/comments/joqw0c/weapons_... - which doesn't really explain what you need to do, but it basically worked for me, so I'm taking a guess at what the true solution is to save others from needless frustration. Here's exactly what I did -
After beating the game with the Sharpshooter, equipping each armor and weapon type, I created a new character for each of the remaining 3 classes, and did the first 2 quests (kill defeat Yapper, kill boss at end of Hero's Rest). In detail -
1) Create Forged, get off the boat,kill defeat Yapper, turn in, select the chest cannon quest reward. Zone out of the city, Hero's Rest is to the east, take the northern most path. Zone in to Hero's Rest, touch the 5 graves, kill boss. By the time you've killed the boss you will almost certainly have received both a hatch and a locomotion. I didn't even have to equip them both, just pick it up, and "Geared Up" popped. Warp out, walk back to the city. Menu, Character Select...
2) Create Dusk Mage, get off the boat,kill defeat Yapper, turn in, select the digitus quest reward, equip it. This is probably sufficient, but to be safe, I did the 2nd quest - zone out of the city, Hero's Rest is to the east, take the northern most path. Zone in to Hero's Rest, touch the 5 graves, kill boss. By the time you've killed the boss you will almost certainly have received a digitus. Warp out, walk back to the city. Menu, Character Select...
3) Create Railmaster, get off the boat,kill defeat Yapper, turn in, select the railhammer quest reward, open chest. This is probably sufficient, and "Weapons of Choice" popped at this point, but just so I could warp to my fort, I also did the 2nd quest.
Ssj Sean has done some testing and confirmed that you don't have to actually equip these, just pick them up and have them in your inventory. Also - Purchased or rolled for items do not count towards this achievement.

After getting 3 characters to 60 and a 4th to lvl 15 In multiplayer I still hadn't got this for some reason even though I had picked up all the weapons for each character.
Something dodgy was going on I thought so I did the first graveyard quest with each character in single player so about 15 mins total and this popped on picking up a bow with the sharpshooter character that dropped from the boss chest.
Just something to try if you haven't managed to get this one after meeting the requirements.

I wonder if there are 2 types of bows. My final character was the Sharpshooter, that starts with a bow, but I didn't get this achievement until my char picked up (didn't even equip yet) broom bow.
