EDIT: On a side note, you thought Adaman Ingots were annoying to make bullets out of? Try getting Damascus Ingots for them lol.
New RNG Ammo

New RNG Ammo
I rather have them make the old one cheaper than having to paid few mil a stack of pouches for the new one. *** the damage, if it is not cheap people will just use crap arrows.
Chyula said: » if it is not cheap people will just use crap arrows. I dont follow this mentality & I'm sure I'm not the only person who doesnt. SE is planning on upping the Recycle rate by a strong margin as well as making bullets more readily available. When will this happen? Who knows, its SE. Right now, theyre probably more focused on the expansion & such. Competitive rangers will find ways to get the new bullets/arrows for new/current high-end content, others who could care-less about how they play the job will do what they do.

SE just need to make another alternate version of the crafting materials and sold by npc for a reasonable price to fix this. this new version of materials are only used to craft ammo and will not affect the economy on other type of items while crafter can make some profit making ammo. Better yet they make it so these craft will not raise your crafting skill.
I think there's an inbetween.... I wouldn't blow(much of) my best ammo on a mediocre to average pug but I'd definitely use it in my endgame linkshell. It's not like I'll be using level 50 ammo in the former either but when your best is needed you give it.
Is the best ammo really needed all the time for every event of every level?

We used to joke about Damascus Ingot bullets.
SE: Make it so!

Well I said for high-end content. Wasnt referring to using the absolute best ammo everywhere all the time unless you live/breathe legion. Adaman bullets really arent that expensive because of how easy gil is to make these days, so I used Adaman for basically anything worth using a gun on. If it wasnt worth Adaman bullets, then there wouldnt be a difference simply using my 99 Gandiva which practically shoots for free(good friend makes my arrows). Im sure Damascus bullets will cost a lot more than Adaman did, but Im sure the competitive rangers will use them for high-end content. They're increasing recycle to at least 95%, who knows when, at least what I'm told. So if you're using dam-bullets you're hopefully using for ws only and a stack will probably last you a significant amount of time.
Ugh, another ammo that'll be rare to find on the AH.
Seriously need ammo npc's.

I'll get you his source when I can.
90%. And here, I searched through and found it for you:

I misread then and I agree D.Bullet is sick ammo with an Annihlator!
Definitely wasn't expecting more new bullets, but these should be great when they add recycle as a job trait.
The new AGI gear is awesome as well. I am happy that there are new ammos, especially the arrows, its about time sam got an ammo upgrade.. pissed that the arrows are synergy though..
GDI SE, I just finished making a stack of Ada Pouches... i REALLY hope D.ingots drop like candy in SoA areas... >.<
if i see one person cry about ammo cost - especially if they own an anni - its throat stab time
We paid about as much for Anni as the DRK paid for his Apoc. While I get that you pay-to-play RNG, 2-3+mil a stack on ammo is a little stiff. Unless Damascus Ingots become more available than they are now, the price to use Gun could double the cost of the weapon in a year of playing.
So throat stab away. It's a consumable, it should not be as much as a nice piece of armor all by itself.

Must have Arrow !
Asura.Izilder said: » if i see one person cry about ammo cost - especially if they own an anni - its throat stab time Cost is nothing. It's actually the supply that's worrying The cost of ammo can be annoying if you're upgrading other weapons. When I was upgrading tizona, I always felt like I was prolonging the amount of time until I completed it by going RNG to events. RNG is my favorite job, but I'm not going to toss gil if I don't have to.
Anyway, there is a new smithing recipe to craft damascus ingots, so here's hoping they aren't too hard to get. I'll probably continue using adaman bullets until the recycle adjustments. I already use enough bullets as it is with kraken club.

I'm hearing a few ppl say that their ranged attacks are doing more than normal. Like 6k JRs in VWs, when mostly unbuffed with meh atmas.
I just did 7300 Last Stand on a bird outside tav, just berserk up. I know its a bird and EP, but still, that seems high to me. I was piss my pants happy when I saw that the updates included new ammo.

I'm a stickler for always using the best ammo, though I'll probably be in the same boat as Helel until things come through
damascus is lame , where are my ormallu bullets at?
Just a warning for anyone wanting to make these, I just made my 1st batch of Mantid Arrows, and these new ammos are not yet quiverable.
So make them as needed. Quetzalcoatl.Wakmidget said: » Just a warning for anyone wanting to make these, I just made my 1st batch of Mantid Arrows, and these new ammos are not yet quiverable. So make them as needed. |
