Hey i have a bow user and i want to know will this kill my inventory space. Holding 250 arrows per slot kinda sucks. I run out of arrows around 3k arrows in less than 30 minutes and they take so much space i can't pick up any crap. I ain't gonna spend real money on this game so should i just switch to another weapon??

You can always buy that silk item that makes your arrow space hold up to 10k arrows for 8 silk..

and avoid bow combows.
also if you have a pet, fill it with arrows.

whats the point of getting a pet to fill it up with arrows, get the 10k thing cheaper

first off thats an exaggeration, theres no way you are using up the arrows that fast, even if you are only doing the arrow combos. Second , don't do the arrow combos so much when grinding, when it says 3 arrow or 5 arrow combo, it is really using 3 or 5 arrows up. just do the big shots, it really is hard to run out of arrows even more true later when you get more skills

I'm an archer, and i've had this problem before in the past, there are 3 easy solutions, 2 involve silk. First off as mentioned buy 10k stacks, second buy a pet and fill it with arrows, or don't use 3-5arrow combo, it does little dmg and the only reason i use it, is when i'm getting ganged and need kb. Either way hope you stick with bow, its a great weapon when you get higher up :D

Combos use only 1 arrow too.
And yes, you can use that many arrow in rly short timespan if you are in the last room of nachals... alone :twisted:

Combos use the amount of arrows per combo >.>.

And buying 10k stacks is a waste really =x, if you use silk just get a pet and put a few stacks in their, unless you plan on grind really long periods of time at once.

Still don't think they are worth it though, they don't last long enough.

If you go through that many arrows in under an hour, you aren't grinding on the right mobs.

Yep like vandango said, bowers use less hp and mp pots than other chinese build to make up for the arrows, still i think it would be great if they took the arrows out of the game, or at least make those explosive hotan arrows hit a bit harder.

On a regular grinding session (usually snipers/hunters) i fill my inv with:

12x 250 arrows
8x 50hp XL
12x 50mp XL
And sometimes put an extra 4x 50 XL in my pet just in case

When share partying higher mobs (grinding mages often with guildies):

12x 250 arrows
12x 50hp XL
8x 50mp XL
And 4x 250 arrows, 4x 50hp XL and 4x 50mp XL in my pet to keep going for 3h

I do use the arrow combo (only have the 4 combo atm). And i'll use the 4th anti devil bow book when i hit 71 instead of the 4 combo while grinding

question, how the f*ck do you spend 3k arrows in 30minutes, it's impossible, i use 3.750 arrows when i go grind and that's enough to fight for 2hours

maybe your just fighting wrong -.-

Unless you have item mall pots you use 40 slots for hp and 120 for your mp xD

LOL
i was thinking the same

he probably means 200 hp and 600 mp :P

on a lowbie char that I was 3-4 shotting mobs, I would only use up around 2k arrows in a matter of 2-3 hours.. As I would be picking up arrows that dropped from mobs too.

So as Epic.Win said, you're probably grinding on the wrong mobs... or you're fighting in an area with pt mobs and you're fighting them on your own...
