Antlion Jaw are rare drops off Antlions.

Aren't Ruszor arrows the top tier arrow now? Other than the Ruszor fang they are made from cheap garbage. And there's no shortage of Ruszors either.

There are no Ruszor in Abyssea meaning you have to go out of your way to obtain the fangs.

The low drop rate on them makes it a pain to see on the AH. This was the same issue that caused SE to change Pet Food from using Ruszor Meat to Buffalo Meat.

But yes, besides the Ruszor Fang the arrows are piss-easy to make.

Don't know about you but I'm lucky to see 1 Quiver of Ruszor arrows a week on AH and they go for 50k each. That's 50k for 99 arrows. Not exactly something I want to use often.

Universal Tool Bags are incredibly cheap from Port Bastok, and save a tonne of inventory space.

Name one. Only an idiot would even bother with them at this point. Shuriken used to have the highest DPS of any weapon in the game, but ever since the caps went up that's gone right out the window. So there's really no justifying the cost of them whatsoever at this stage in the game.

It would be wonderful if we got more (cheaper) synergy recipes for ammunition, and I mean all types - Arrows, Bolts, Bullets & even Shuriken (along with a new higher level shuriken to replace Fuma) as it's much easier to HQ during Synergy than it is Synthesis. Ignoring the multitude of other balance issues facing RNG, it is rather unfair that jobs like WAR & MNK can absolutely destroy RNG now in damage, for free, unless said RNG has a Gandiva and even then it's still pretty close thanks to Haste.

Also need 90+ ammo which this thread is about. Right now RNG is just sad.

They drop a lot in abyssea attowa. The problem is getting the bastards to pop up.

SE still hasn't got the message that nobody likes Synergy.

Nah, haste is the sole and single game balance breaker out there. A severe nerf to it is the best way to bring back mages and ranged attackers. That or make them the only trigger jobs for important things, like they did with spells and TE chests.
