Metalline arrows needed

[Erica9635]

Metalline weapons were added (im assuming because having a reduction of each type sucks), but the House D vendor who sold the different types of arrows never ordered any Metalline. Would be nice to buy one kind of arrow instead of four and remember which one is for what type of monster.

Also, why do quivers not hold more than 1 stack of the same type of arrow? I can see the logic behind smaller stacks, but more different types (wide quiver) and bigger stacks of fewer variety (thin quiver) but not letting you put two stacks of the same type in the same quiver?

If theres a good reason why this isn't allowed, I would like to know. Also not being able to put arrows on your shortcut bar from inside the quiver is pretty annoying so allowing that would be nice.

All of that sounds suspiciously like it would be good for ranged combat, which makes no sense. Why would anyone want ranged combat to get better? Or Easier? Or...less pathetic?

You wanna spend 500 plat PER ARROW, be my guest.

Otherwise, buy a Metalline bow.

Are you trying to say metalline arrows exist but they are 500 plat per arrow - 500,000 gold per stack of arrows? Or are you saying you think thats what they should cost?

The whole point of having arrows that are silver, adamantine, byeshk, and cold iron are so you can use whatever bow you want, and give it that stat. They already have those 4, but never put metalline arrows out when metalline weapons came out. If they did, where are they? :P

none/few of those arrows bypasses any dr alone. you need holy/good + cold iron/silver to bypass demon/pit fiend dr. byeshk is kinda useless in general. the only mindflayers that can pose a thread are the red named in slavers of the shrieking mines. there is really few stuff whose dr can be broken by adamantine alone. most are adamantine + bludgeoning (golems and stuff). adamantine arrows were neat in von6 back in the old days tho.


i don't see the problem in general tho. you go to amrath/vale/shroud? be sure to have your quiver filled with silver. you go for the queen or invaders(for example), get cold iron. use the silver bow for best experience anyway...

Metalline weapons should be removed from the game. Just use silver if you need silver, and cold iron when you need cold iron. I don't see the problem. *sarcasm*

Yes I do those places, in shroud I use silver arrows, and cold iron for the others. Why make me carry twice as many arrows? And its stupid to use a silver bow when you need silver, when you can use silver arrows in a T3 GS holy/good bow.

I can see why most people wouldn't ask for them to be added (as most arent AAs), but why would you be against it?

This. Silver bow IS holy, not silver. Silver refers to it's origin (Church of the Silver Flame) Use, it, know it, love it.

No, I'm telling you that demanding an arbitrary magic enhancement on purchasable arrows is illogical, and would entail paying the very high prices magic bonuses call for.

The devs were too smart to put out metalline arrows.

Ranged-combatants can get a metalline bow the same as melee attackers can get a metalline sword.
But ranged players ALSO have the advantage of taking a non-metalline bow and loading silver arrows into it.

Melee characters would LOVE to take their existing non-metalline weapons and sprinkle silver powder onto them to beat devil DR, but they can't. That's already an advantage for ranged combat, and it doesn't need more benefit in this regard.
