Making Omphalos Bullet a Quickdraw only bullet

[Vivivivi]

While I also agree this change would be nice, I personally don't see it as that big of a deal. I do know people who have fired it and lost it on accident, but it has a fairly high drop rate. I've just made sure to only use quick draw macros and shooting macros with corsair, and in both of them I make sure to only equip the Omphalos bullet immediately when I'm about to use quickdraw, and replace it afterwards.

To make sure this switch happens even if I might be out of ammo, before I equip the normal bullet in my ammo slot, I use the /equip ammo <wait 1> to make sure I unequip the rare/ex one.

This answers bullshit level even surpasses aura steal being over powered if it was on a separate timer. I went 1/80something on this bullet. It's drop rate is NOT high. I have never used it because I'm afraid I will shoot it. Use caution? More like use 3rd party tools. Using normal in game macros all it takes is a little lag and this bullet is gone. The truth is they actually want us to shoot the bullet so we have to go back and do Akvan again. I usually laugh these terrible answers off but this one is fucking infuriating.

Put it in manually, use Quick Draw. Manually remove it.

While that would work it would lower your DPS enough to make using the bullet not even worth it and it would be outrageously annoying.

Sometimes I made sandwiches using blocks of rat poison.

People generally ask me, "Why did you made sandwiches using blocks of rat poison?!"

When I explain that I make sandwiches out of rat poison so I can offer those sandwiches to the kids at the local daycare, hopefully killing all of those small and scrambling fiends, that never seems to clarify much for anybody.

Usually, I get punched in the face. Maybe that means I'm doing something really dumb for a really bad reason.

Way too subtle Spank. Way too subtle.

Dear Devs,
While I enjoy the idea of having bullets that take advantage of Unlimited shot or Quick Draw at the end of the day like most, I will never use these equips out of fear of losing them.
So could you please make Long recast Quiver or just not waste your time on adding ammo of this type and rather make gear that augments Quick draw/Unlimited shot instead.
Thanks Rez

Man it's such a small thing to give jobs that have to pay gil(ammo) just to play the job a break and honestly make the game more fun.

Btw i'd be happy w/ a 720 recast quiver vs never using the ammo cause it took me 100~ akvans to get 1 bullet lol(wasn't there for bullet)

In response to Insaniac, I'm sorry it took you 80 Akvan's for it to drop, but tend to see it at least once on a run of 4 pops. Also, in your QD macro you can add a /echo safe to shoot message to be certain you've got the bullet unequipped. And for the record, I agree with you and the OP that this bullet should not be made fire-able as regular ammo, but if the game doesn't support that level of specificity for conditional ammo, just use your macros for QD and ranged attacks.

[Insaniac]

You know 1 drop per 4 runs = 1/72? Unless you mean it drops to you personally every 4 runs which seems like nonsense. It's drop rate is not high enough for someone to simply go and get another one if they lag or their finger slips. If they swapped sceamol band's drop rate with the bullet then it wouldn't be so unreasonable.

Greetings,

I have some feedback to share in regards to some of the suggestions in this thread for changing the functionality of Omphalos bullet.



While we understand that players are concerned about accidentally misfiring this item, unfortunately it is not possible to make so that it cannot be fired, such as certain throwing weapons that cannot be used, as it would also render it impossible to use Quick Draw with it.



The main reason why the Patriarch Protector’s arrow and Iron Musketeer's bolt was converted to the Combat Caster’s quiver/Iron Musketeer's quiver, which could be used to dispense ammo once every 168 hours, was to improve the situation where conquest points could not be spent on other items due to the need to replenish ammunition. As you may recall, it was quite difficult to earn conquest points at the time we introduced these quivers.

We understand that obtaining an Omphalos bullet is certainly not easy, but the high stats were set based on that factor and our stance is for players to take caution when changing out ammo, so we do not have plans of changing this.

Extreme dislike!
