As some of you might already expected from the title,
yes I used my archer thrall equipped with dragonbone bow+dragonbone arrow to shoot a triggered mob and blocked his area with fences so I collected free infinite arrows from it.
So the alternative would be to have to give thralls arrows⊠So every time i log in, I would have to check each archer to make sure they have a stash of arrows.
Yeah, it would be a bit of a pain, countered instantly by the issuing of another bow. Plus durability of 1,000 or whatever, more than pays for itself in arrows.
For me, itâs always been immersion-breaking to have infinite arrows from thralls, so short of running ammo inventories, I donât think any other present mechanism could immediately address it. Other people have previously suggested the prohibiting of the retrieval of arrows, which I think is a draconian measure. Donât have much use for bows myself, but I like the fact that thralls do.
Just make it so arrows break on impact and slightly reduce the cost to make them. Itâs not like you recover many arrows to begin with. You arenât missing out on much.
The fix is making arrows not consume by thrall. And keeping the stack number the same as you gave your thralls. Bob has a bow and 1 arrow. I loot bob arrow. Bob canât use his bow. I return Bob arrow. Bob can use his bow. His arrow reminds. An easy fix.
yes this sounds very easy solution. But Funcom hasnât been able to fix this kind of simple bugs for more than a year. code code code thatâs what they said.
Infinite arrows on thralls isnât immersion breaking for me. I know not every mechanic in the game is intended or even possible to work as in real life, but I like to think that in real life, my thralls would be smart enough to go to a box and get more arrows when they ran out. BTW, we used to not be able to pick up arrows. Dunno who asked for that to be added. I wouldnât cry if they took that away again. But, seriously, how many people do what the OP did to farm arrows?
Those arrows are very cheap to make, actually all arrows are. Itâs more work to wait for thralls to shoot arrows and collect them than to farm mats and craft⊠Very low priority on the bug fix list.
