No Arrows in ARR?!

Maybe this has been asked but will throwing weapons be eliminated from the game too? These are useful for when someone isn't playing a ranged class and may need to pull a target from a group of hostile enemies. If they are please add something equivalent like perhaps Stone Throw as a universal ability instead of excluded to crafting classes. Wrist Flick can remain exclusive but please give us Stone Throw (Or an equippable ammo with unlimited supply.) for pulling enemies from a distance. Thanks.

Drg got a range attack skill, maybe all the other classes got one as well.

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.

Ah, good to know. That answered another of my questions as well.

It's not been confirmed yet as far as I've seen but all signs have been pointing to their removal from the game.

*The throwing weapon slot isn't shown in the gear list in the ARR footage.
*DRG has a throwing weaponskill.
*Throwing weapons never received updated recipes throughout the many revisions.

Yeah so instead of being able to strategically output damage when its convenient, now you will have to untarget the enemy or put your weapon away every time you want to stop shooting it.

You will need to hunt down the exact quote, I swear there is one but i'm at work right now.
However: There will be a button (in the latest images it's a crossed swords on a red background) that disables auto-attacking. It, however, does not disengages the target (removes targetting). Now we merely need to know wether or not it turns off active mode.

So based on the official translation of the 3rd live letter, apparently initiating/ceasing auto-attack will actually be its own command separate from targeting an enemy. Yoshi-P mentions it when he's demonstrating battles as ARC. On the PC it will apparently be handled by right clicking the target to initiate auto-attack, so simply left clicking to fully target something will not engage it.

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.

I refer archer mostly for Ranger job, bards never had that much dmg anyway, and in XI ranger was one of the most powerful damage dealers at the cost of arrows, that was a fair exchange imo, now without amunition i guess my favorite class/job will be gimped.

At the launch of this game, archer was the most powerful class especially with multishot
