RNG Ammo

[Feliciaa]

Fangs were not the only issue. You need multiple high lvl crafts to make the materials and then multiple high lvl crafts to make the arrows. Which usually means the cost will be high unless you can find some really nice people who are willing to stand around while you craft ammo and not ask for any gil in return.

Yes it's a MMO but this much effort just to make standard ammo for your current level is way over kill. Not to mention the cost/dmg ratio vs. other classes does not match up at all.

My hope is they stop trying to spread Ammo between soo many high lvl crafts and just make it a high lvl woodworking with 2 low lvl crafts. Or just get it over with and add a Ammo NPC like every other MMO already has.

It's not that hard to find any random clothcrafter to synth the fletchings, bonecrafter to synth the arrowheads, and then a woodworker to be in party to do the synergy. But perhaps I'm spoiled since I took the time to level woodworking to 100 on a second character (like a week), synergy to cap on 2 characters (like 4 days each), and have a brother who leveled bonecraft.

If that's all the time it took for you to get to 100 WW, then you a) have no job and b) have no friends outside of the game. No casual player (3 hr or less per day) is ever going to get WW to 100 in a week.

I always hate these "its so easy" time estimates from people that just play the game 24/7. There are many players that have grown with the game, got jobs and families and other responsibilities that no longer can play the long hours. We don't need that same time sinks any more with our limited playtime. And especially not a crafting time sink just for ammo.

Now I'll sit back for the inevitable. "but I have a life and friends and a 80 hr work week and still levelled WW in week, your just doing it wrong" reply.

I do have a life and friends but I don't work, I just go to college. May have taken 2 weeks, I'm not sure but it still did not take very long at all. It's easy to spam through arrows almost all the way to 90 and thanks to Abyssea the mats for level 90+ items are extremely cheap.
