No Arrows in ARR?!

Carpenter just lost some money lol - or whoever made arrows. (unless quivers are really expensive...)

They will make it back by building houses.

This is great news as I hate having to spend money to deal white damage. It was also a deterrent for them when it came to implementing AA for ARC/BRD. Glad it's in now.

As I said in the other thread about this, you lose arrows and gain furniture. Seems like a win for carpenters.

Then get ready to be disappointed. Likely they'll have guns as weapons and no need to buy ammunition.

This isn't to say ARCs wont use arrows and MSKs wont use bullets in ARR. You just won't have to buy/equip them.

Not all games with guns require you to purchase ammunition. It's part of playing a virtual game to not have to worry about EVERY aspect of reality.

This. And

Considering SE's history of never being able to properly balance cost of ammo, I don't see why this is a bad thing.

Assuming there's an actual market for it as we know nothing about housing. Will it increase house storage space? Is it just for looks? Will the materials be easy to get? Will it be plentiful? Can it even be placed around your house and visually show it? Will it all have unique graphics or will it just be stuff you find in cities? We don't know how much of a market there will be for it since we haven't seen it in action or even if it's similar to the Mog Houses from XI, which you did have a market on people who loved going all out on decorating that little box, we do know the lost of arrows is already a profit hit on people who leveled carpenter, that much is already 100% confirmed with this news.

Hopefully it works the way ammo worked in FFXII, where you get different status effects to equip, such as "Paralyze Shot" and "Flame Shot." This would give a whole new mechanic to Archer/Bard!

Need to cap out on cobalt arrows soon and make some money before the game ends. :x

I love you too, Yoshida-san

So that means bullets will likely also be 1 buy fits all if they ever implement a gun class, sad too since in most MMOs consumables are the general economy booster, because given leveling speed, making armor won't do much for anyone when you blow past levels.

Consumables are the cheapest and least profitable items in FFXIV, crafting items and materials are way more important for the economy than arrows.

And stop bitching about leveling speed, it will be different, you have no idea if it will be fast as it is now.

The millions I made on culinary says otherwise.
