Bring back the ammo Market!

[Zuhra]

Wait... bring ammo back? You want people to actively prevent others playing their jobs due to disgustingly overpriced ammo?

disgustingly? really? lol

Noooooo! Please don't bring it back, I have a hard enough time making gil in this game as it is, I'd never be able to afford arrows too. Not to mention even more stuff to clog my inventory.

Pulling invisible arrows out of nowhere, I feel is dumb. That's just me. Let's not turn this into a "This is dumb" contest. :/

This is a fantasy game. I cast spells from a book and have my own personal Tinkerbell following me around. Personally I see the Bard quiver as a magical quiver they found on some adventure somewhere and it will forever have arrows.

Besides to add in ammo would mean SE would have to do something like this for all classes in order to make it fair and quite frankly I find micromanaging my fairy and mp enough work and fun.

We confirmed with the battle team that there are currently no plans to reintroduce ammo in future updates.

I played Bard as main through most of 1.0 and the consumable arrows was one of my least favourite aspects of the game.

I do not want consumable arrows to return
I do not want 3-4 slots of my inventory filled with stacks of arrows
I do not want 3-6 slots of my inventory filled with stacks of Ingots, Branches and Feathers so I can craft more when I run out
I do not want to have to pay exorbitant prices for the arrow making items or arrows
I do not want to have to spend all my non-raiding time farming mats for making arrows
I do not want my stats and damage based on the quality of a consumable
I do not want to have to spend ages per synth to try and get HQ arrows to maximise damage for high end content
I do not want my skills and dots to rely on the type of arrow
I do not want to have to have 10 macros to equip each type of arrow before using skills
I do not want to have to stop mid fight and access my character screen to requip a fresh stack when the old run runs out
I do not want to have to not play my main class when farming dungeons for Philosophy so I don’t waste the gil/time spent on making arrows

We already have several dots (Poison, Wind, Fire) and debuffs (Damage Down, Silence, Bind) as skills. We don’t need arrows to do this for us. I could point out a dozen things about other classes that are far from realistic. I’ll keep using my invisible arrows, thank you very much.



If you want a fancy quiver with exchangable arrow heads, the thrill of running out of arrows mid fight and the labour of scavenging arrows after a battle, go watch the Avengers. Hawkeye does a good job of that.

Psssh my XI Ranger and old school WoW Hunter made Hawkeye look like a joke. Used to have to carry more ammo and types than he could ever imagine. That being said, I am glad I don't have to relive those moments anymore.

This won't ever happen. They had to reduce the gil players held from 1.0 by 90% due to the removal of ammo from the economy. They would have to completely rebalance the economy to do this. They will not be doing that.

It they reintroduce ammo they have to give us back our Gils which has been cut by 10 from V1

This was covered by Yoshi-p quite a while back so I don't remember where the original post is, but I'll try to summarize as best I can.

In 1.0 arrows had to be purchased. Each had a price. They would balance the cost of that against the price of the body piece for the comparable level of gear to a given arrow. So lets say the arrow cost 1/100 the cost of the body piece. This was how they balanced the prices. When they removed arrows from the game they essentially removed all items that cost that little from the game. To compensate they reduce the gil players had in 1.0 to 10% of it's previous value. So a player with 10,000,000 gil entered 2.0 with 1,000,000 instead. They told us this retained full buying power since the entire economy was dropped in price the same way. So now that we are in 2.0 it would require balancing the entire economy once more if we wanted to add ammo back to the game. This is why it will never happen. Ever.
