Yes, although I would like to see more differentiation in the ammo. Right now there is, for example, no reason to ever use stone arrows.

if you wanna make stone arrows used, add obsidian rocks. obsidian made for great arrowheads since didnt matter that they shatter and sharper than metals I think.

PS: next add whitewalkers.

Then there would be no point in using bone arrows. Either stone arrows would be easy to make and amazing, or too hard to make (bone is super common) and no one would bother.

Flat damage differences lead to all other ammo types being ignored.

Making alot of assumptions on how I would implement, when I offered no such details. Obv if obsidian was stronger than bone it would be extremely rare, yo. And perhaps also a high chance to fail when crafting, since it is brittle AF.

anyway was just a quirky idea, metal arrows are more importante

Quivers suck. Unless the slingshot is utter crap, nobody will bother using a bow anymore unless it's an Rbow and someone is trying to pick off noobs on the battlefield.

Why do quivers suck? Its a 40 slot bag that fit in a 1x2 slot of your bag.

MM doesn't determine the damage of your bows and arrows. You can 1 shot deer with high quality bone arrows even with 1mm.

No you were not.

Except he probably was. MM doesn't determine your damage. Quality of your bow and arrows determine your damage.

I imagine when RB comes out(hoping they get buffed so they will somewhat be viable other than shooting noobs) people will start putting points into MM for better accuracy. Although I am skeptical of how people will use them in a PvP situation since there is a chance of collateral damage
