Bring back the ammo Market!

[Starlord]

This is just another thing that's been bugging me. *Please note that I love the game and will continue playing the game.*

I understand the economy still needs to get on it's feet ( injected with a lot of gil), but When there is more means to get gil I kinda hope for Arrows/Bullets (Ammo) to make a return. Free Ammo is nice don't get me wrong, but I personally like the feeling of getting Ammo and making sure I have enough for my daily adventure.

At the very least, make "type specific" Ammo like " Para Arrow" "Poison Arrow" "Determination Down Arrow" etc etc. and make them "Craft-able only". That way when the economy gets on it's feet it will give crafters something worthwhile to do again. ( This is coming from a person who doesn't craft).

Edit: Keep Normal Arrows free, Use Expendable Arrows through the examples below:

Free is Normal Shot

1) Greater Shot ( Requires Great Ammo) *Adds additional Damage to Normal Shot*
2) Paralyze Shot ( Requires Paralyze Ammo)
3) Poison Shot ( Requires Poison Ammo)
4) Debuffs Down ( Requires X Debuff ammo)

Put expendable arrows on an off quiver.

This could probably use it's own thread (I'm to lazy) but it would also be nice to include oils (melee) and Fragrances/Aura's (casters) in order to include all DoW/DoM users with this type of system.

I say make standard shots free ammo, but make special attacks use ammo but do much less dmg then normal attacks.

Like, poison arrow hit for a potency of 20 with ticks of 10 potency or something, expends 1 poison arrow.
Acid arrow hits for a potency of 10 reduces all resistances by 10 for 15secs. 60sec cooldown.
and such.

Honestly I almost say make it Ranger. Can be the other branch from Archer in future updates.

Leave brd alone and make ranger use special ammo for attacks. Brd (buffs and dmg) Rng (Debuffs and dmg)

[Arriverderci]

This sounds pretty cool & Codek's idea
I'd like to make them, it will also spice up
fighting a bit...which we desperately need lol.

Special arrows for ranged... oils for melee... maybe runes for casters...
Trying to turn this into The Witcher Online?...
...I approve...

I'd like to see expendable ammo purely as a form of customization, not a buff or a nerf. Use standard (free/infinite) ammo, get pure damage. Throw on some crit ammo, a little less damage but higher crit chance. Throw on some poison ammo and get a fair amount less damage but a stacking DoT that could add up on the bigger bosses. Etc. etc.

I think instead of expendable ammo, I'd rather see an offhand quiver slot for the afforementioned ideas. Maybe with materia slots?

[rtpsoulx]

Ammo that isn't consumable but add stats/effects to your attacks, like sleep arrows, para arrows, drain arrows, ect. that would be awesome <.>

[Cycloptichorn]

+1 for Offhand Quiver

This, Off hand should be for quivers that either just add to stats, or add status effects to auto attacks.

Grips for Drg and War

??? for Monk

Grips for Casters using staves.
