Bring back the ammo Market!

Like many others I'd rather not see any ammo (re)introduced in the game, but if it would be in the form of off-hand weapons I would be all for it.

IE; equipping a certain type of arrows as your off hand weapon to add a small bonus to your stats or effect in battle.

No thanks to the 'elite' bought class. I despised how Ranger was handled in FFXI. Only those that had heavy pockets could play that class or fund their crafting to carry those ammo costs. What a messed up system. XD

Wasn't that expensive. At least not for leveling if you used holy/acid bolts . As for crafting, if you did it smartly, you could gain money while leveling woodworking until you could HQ Holy/acid bolts. And Bow rangers mostly used scorpion arrows for TP, and they where also fairly cheap.

It was only against sky gods that it cost me, used silver bullets there. But then my LS sold all crafting drops, so usually gained gil from it.

Anyway, I liked Ranger in XI. The status bolts added versatility to the class. Have to say I hated the class after the nerf though.

I thought Yoshi would have had it where you could equipped an ammo type... (eg blunt arrow, poison arrow, healing arrow, fire arrow...etc) and we still have the infinite use like we do now, but we would just have to purchase that initial arrow type to use/equip.

This would open up the class/job more, add more customization. And give crafters' something to create for all ammo based classes/jobs.

But it seems he has it were the skill being used, makes the arrow change to that said property/stat/buff/debuff. This is the way it is for archers bards. Hopefully any other ammo based class/job will see something like I mentioned above, to add more thinking to the way we arm them.

This is probably the worst idea I've ever read. They took ammo out because it was unfair to certain classes, not because money was hard to come by.

It wasnt unfair at all. Yoshi took it out because he decided to copy other games. I would love to see some one in the real world take a gun or bows and not carry around ammo, what do you think would happen. Ammo isnt unlimited, it needs to be restock and you cant fight without it. There is no reason what so ever for a brd in this game that uses a BOW not to have to by ammo.

Then in the real world, after two or three hits a sword is not cutting anymore because of the blood. And you can't use magic.

Worst sword ever. If they where crappy like that, it would not have been a weapon of choice back in it's day.

XIV is not the real world. This is one of those times where realism needs to take a backseat to QoL and class balance. It's entirely unfair to tie a certain class's damage to money they spend on ammo.

This argument is stupid.

Magic isn't real, neither are dragons.

You had to condition your sword constantly. Any nick that got blood in it, would rust and corrode the sword.
