No Arrows in ARR?!

[Naraku_Diabolos]

Thank you for the update and for staying with the idea of removing ammo. As has been mentioned, I am also hopeful that this outlook will carry over to other classes that required consumables in the past.

That's what I tried to say following Camate's post, though I think I wasn't clear on explaining it, though.

It is a safe assumption that SE will not be making any more classes that are required to use consumables to perform basic functions. They wouldn't get rid of it for existing classes, then make new classes that do the same thing they just abolished.

They are planning on implimenting Samurai and Ninja. With Ninja, they need to make it more different than it's FFXI counterpart. Like many of us have stated before, NIN was never destined to be a tank, but us players figured that out later on.

Well it is possible perhaps Ninjutsu magic will be "elemental"/chakra based. Like instead of using a pool of mana they could have a pool of chakra. If we take the original NIN into account then the NIN could have the chakra of Fire/Water/Thunder, with another class/job that could cover the chakra of Earth/Ice/Wind.

The concept could basically be instead of mp, the would have 3 chakra reserves 99/99/99 Fire/Water/Thunder, the basic elemental spells would only use one chakra type while other spells like enfeebles/enhancements would use two chakra reserves.

For example mirage could be a combination of both fire/water chakra, in the sense that the 10 fire chakra combined with the 5 water chakra overpowers the water turning it into water vapor which can then be manipulated to imitate the idea of a second image being made of the user.

But ya I would say most likely there will be no consumables in the game if they are making this chance to ARC so odds are they could just create different concepts when creating new classes/jobs to keep the uniqueness of them without having to stress out peoples inventories.

What it feels more important than having ranged AA is the fact they say they will adjust archers and bards damage, are they gonna gimp it again?

I prefer having to buy arrows and having to press light shot key as many times as needed if archers/bards were the strongest single hit damage dealers.

The adjustment is more so about the damage values on bows since they used to work together with arrow damage values. Now they'll have their own damage values without any ammo consideration.

Also Archer/ Bards will never be highest single target DPS. They shouldn't anyway.

Forgive me if someone already asked this, but what will happen to existing arrows? Will they just disappear? Will they be converted to unique/untradeable dated items? Can we even equip them? I'm not an ARC/BRD, but I'm curious how this will be handled.

Arrows NPC for 1 gil. It was said that anything under a certain amount or worth only 1 gil will be converted to its monetary value in 2.0.

Based upon the Chinese elements (and the jutsu was used in FFTA for NIN), it's Metal, Wood, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water.

These sounds like some good ideas for the dev team when they think about bring nin out in the future. keep em coming

[Nightdreamer]

Nice, no more shooting gil at mobs.

Hello everyone!

We're planning to adjust the overall battle balance with the understanding that ammunition will be eliminated from the game, so it's not like when we eliminate ammo, we won't make any changes and leave archers and bards damage as it is. Likewise, for carpenters, we will be making adjustments so you will be able to level-up even without crafting arrows.

Oh! I just realized! They must be giving carpenters book crafting instead!
