Infinite arrows

In 1.0 you needed to buy arrows, apparently it was expensive to bard and was a nuisance. When transitioning to 2.0 they reduced the currency amount by 1 digit, i believe they sighted removal of bard arrows as the reason they did that. So it's not lore related, more of a QoL.

This is why. Arrows were removed because of the Gil reductions from 1.0 to 2.0. I had 2M Gil in 1.0. Once my character transitioned to ARR, I had about 200,000 gil. Yes it sucked but they had to reduce costs from NPC purchases as they were high, especially arrows. Plus it was annoying in FFXI, with having to purchase stacks of 99 arrows along with ninja tools being at 99. It was expensive in FFXI because of that as well, which is another reason I quit that game as I kept running out of gil because of consumables.

Sometimes when I played RO, some servers would have standard arrow cost. I'd have to tote around a stack of a thousand arrows and BOOM there goes my inventory weight limit
but SOME....some would just require one arrow of a type to be equipped and INFINITE ARROWS. It was a blessing.

Honestly they could be magic/aether for all I care, as long as I don't need to go around and buy/carry them. Personally I'm all for that AFK arrow whittling theory. I mean what else is my character supposed to do when I log off? Sleep? Psssshaaaaaaaa

Well its like anything in the game. How does one carry a full inventory, and armory chest? Look at housing items can nearly carry an entire house with furnishings around all I want. Just magic I guess.

It's a super power called "The Magic Satchel" where our pockets are literal pocket dimensions.

Deadpool, most RPG Characters, and nealry all cartoon characters have this ability and when used it looks like you're pulling it from behind your back.

Doesn't that mean that every archer has one, if not multiple sticks up their ass?

I've always liked to think that Bards are able to make arrows out of the aether around them or something.

Gameplay wise, it's because humping around thousands of arrows that cost 100k per stack has been proven to be absolutely atrocious. Rangers in XI had to buy arrows by the truckload to do anything, and if they ran out, they may as well just kill themselves and go back to town because their usefulness immediately ended.

Lore wise, I guess you could abstract the repair cost as buying all the arrows you'll need for the day. Maybe people just send you arrows because you're the Eorzean equivalent of Kanye, so every time you wake up your retainers just dump a big barrel of arrows in your inn room.
