No Arrows in ARR?!

Thanks Camate. If there are classes/job that are added later on that used to have consumables, such as how Ninja used tools and whatnot in FFXI, will there be adjustments like that as well?

How can there Be "adjustments" to a class that isnt in game yet, and no one has a clue what it will do or how it will perform... you cant adjust something that doesnt exist...

Makes sense to just have ninjas learn their ninjitsu abilities without requiring ninja tools since they're getting away from classes/jobs having an item requirement to perform.

Pretty much every Ninja lore in media (especially older) they require tools of some kind to preform ninjutsu or for a lot of their attacks lol.

So I'm thinkin' maybe the /punch auto attack becomes unnecessary, then, and bard's auto attack can just be an arrow shot? I would be cool with this!

Obviously the punch will be a close-range attack, and the arrow shot will be range, as seen in the live letter.

heres a pro tip = turn around so your not facing target to stop attacking. it takes a split second to turn around if your not locking onto mobs

Infact you stop auto-attacking if you unlock regardless if you are facing mob or not ..just hit ESC once

Not in Lore that treats Ninjitsu more like Magic of some kind. It usually requires you read from a scroll of some kind, and voila you can now use it!

Hypothetically speaking, it's concerning what they might impliment later on. Since NIN uses consumables, I asked if that's going to be the case in ARR. It's like ARC using ammo.

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.

Even on the magical end they still tend to need some kind of catalyst through either chanting or glyphs (including hand signs), so it's still a type of tool that's used, doesn't always mean consumable though.

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.

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.

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.
