So in the list of recipe changes, it seems to have been suggested that one synth will make one arrow.
For example, the Sinking Minnow recipe has a (3) next to the result, suggesting that the synth results in three end products.
However, the new recipes for arrows do not have a number following the end product, leaving one to assume that we can make only one arrow at a time.
The previous recipes, which I assume still are in the game till a later patch, returned 333 arrows for a normal quality success.
The difference of course being that the current recipe requires three branches to be turned into shafts. But even then, three branches result in just under 4,000 arrows (3 branches become 12 arrow shafts each of which becomes 333 arrows). Where as now one branch seems to become one arrow.
While some of the alterations to quantity could be understood in light of all the changes, this would heavily impact the archer class. With the amount of arrows it takes for a single archer to participate in one battle, I find it hard to believe that crafters could meet the demand necessary.
Are arrows becoming a 1:1 ratio per synth?

I believe this was a text only oversight, but I will update my thread to include the question.

Hmm... i really hope they will still be 333 at a time

Maybe we will make an arrow and it's unlimited? It would get rid of that stupid refill action.

I'd expect it to stay the same, it'd be pretty mind-boggingly annoying to have to craft one arrow at a time.
However if it is correct always remember you can buy 999 arrows for 50 GC seals :D -
09-30-2011, 08:00 AMReikaHowever, you wouldn't want to use just low rank arrows after the patch, since this is also the patch that makes stats matter.Quote:

I suppose the amount could have been omitted.
It does seem silly to me to have to make one arrow at a time. But that's why I figured clarification would be nice. I'm not one to complain much about unreleased changes but this would be one that I'd have to contest. -

You can still do the old recipes if in fact they screwed up so badly as to make arrows 1:1...
But it's probably a typo. -

They Can't do that, Archers will be pissed.

I'll take a guess. If it isnt 1 and it isnt 333, then its..... 111!!!!
