Arrow crafting?

How is that I never run out of arrows? At some point shouldn't I need to go buy or make arrows?

I would love be able to craft arrows. Not enchanted or special arrows. But maybe arrows in different styles purely for a cosmitc and RP type of thing. Plus it would give me a use for all the wood I collect but can't really sale for much these days.

    sure but if we did that then we would have to make bows use up resources which means you gonna *** off a lot of archers in the

    Actually, that could make Bow actually much more useful.
    Slot arrows in the poison slot for cool effects. Flaming/Shock arrows for magi archer builds etc. Could be awesome.

    Well a big maybe but you'd have to increase the damage output significantly
    And you'd probably need separate bar to slot different arrows

    Are you asking to be required to use up inventory slots for multiple arrow types? This is like the guy who wanted 47 different types of pickaxes for the different ores, 29 axes for wood, and presumably 97 pairs of gloves for different plants.

    What is wrong with you people?

    (i'm being hyperbolic, i don't think there's anything wrong with you)

    I'm just saying more a pure cosmetic. I might like a bosmer bow but prefer the look of orc arrows. And its a tad amusing to me that we can never run out of arrows. And our swords never get dull.

    The need to turn resources (at CP 160 youd be using something like 110 Sanded Ruby Ash per Arrow/Set of Arrows) would invalidate anything "cool" about the effects. No one would touch them because they would either require a Crafter, and lots of money, or a high enough crafting skill and a lot of time running around and gathering resources to replenish.

    Bows have it bad enough as it is. Any sort of Arrow Crafting would absolutely kill that skill line.

    That's an assumption on the amount of materials and arrows not dropping like poisons do etc.

    Though maybe they should add "quiver" items to slot with bows as the 2nd set item so you can use 5/5/2 set bonuses.

    As fun as this idea is it is game killer as well For WoW have that in classic WoW that you could craft arrow and then quiver and you place arrow in quiver and everything took up 1 item slot sound cool right?

    It was only 1 big problem if you was in raid or PvP and you run out of arrow you was more or useless and need to fight with melee weapon with if you have train that one up you was still useless.

    Point is that you can carft any new arrow if you run out of them in raid until you done in there which will make you bow skills useless for you limited yourself with how many arrow you have with you.

    I for one is ok with not craft any arrow but i see how cool it would be from RP point of view as well.

    I would be glad to see this added, in addition to :

    - actual repairing for armours (stats loss over time) cause at the moment repairing is pointless until max level.

    - actual sharpenning/repairing of weapons (aside bows since bows do not chock against anything) for blades and blunt weapons as a kind of power management for staves (stats loss over time)

    For balance of course : bows shouldn't be the only weapon to be maintainned.

    Losing your soul gives you infinite ammo. ;)

    Don't poisons already serve as a sort of extra damage ammunition? (for if you don't like cool down timer enchantments.)

    it felt realistic in skyrim that we had to make our arrows.
    i wish we could make our arrows in ESO. would feel more realistic.

    One endless hail and your quivers empty,oh you brought more? There goes inventory space and quick slot spaces.it's fine the way it is.

    If Zos would add quivers to the game, that would add possibility for bow users to have monster helm set + 2x 5 piece sets on them active when using a bow.

    Do you people go around snooping at what arrow you used to used to kill them? Now if there was a way to change the color of arrow smoke or something like the green one for the arrow spray morph, that would be cool. Or too much on the eyes, one of the two

    But barrage or whatever morph would use up like 1000 arrows... And also, why when we are crafting the bow don't we just have the option to select bow style and arrow style separately. Imo that would be much better

    Before judging a man walk a mile in his shoes.
    After that who cares?

    We don't make arrows for the same reason we don't have to take the character to the toilet... there are some things that are simpler to just put in the abstraction box and be done with it.

    @Curtdogg47

    We already have arrows of different styles. Quiver and the arrows take on a different appearance based on the motif.
