    8g per arrow is unheard of, i know your trying to balance out the market,
    but at 8g per arrow, your hurting the Archer,
    it will now cost more to be an archer than a mage,
    and an Archer has a Terrible Miss Ratio where a Mage has none!

    in all my time playing UO Arrows have always been around 3g Each!

    this Market Balance change is a BAD idea and Bad for us Archers!

    we either pay the outragous NPC Prices or make our own Arrows

    Lumberjacking for wood is how i love to spend my UO play time
    Killing Birds is another Awsome way to spend my UO Play time

    :(

    Archer does not need mana either.

    should be able to buy Arrows at a Fair Price .. just like Regs

    you can get regs for free too, if you go dig up Treasure Chests or fish up MIB's ...
    or kill certain Monsters!

    but Arrows you have to Create!

    Regardless of where you may or may not be able to get Arrows,

    the NPC's should be selling them at around the same price as the Mage Reagents.

    around 3g per arrow, is what it has been on Every Server i have ever played on!

    8g per arrow is insane!

    To cast a spell you need 2-4 different regs, adding up to over 9gold per spell.

    You don't miss, but people can resist the spells. Can mages get a vanq casting ability such as archers can get a vanq bow? Ratmen archers die super fast and drop like 160 arrows each, and this gives people with the bowfletching ability a way to make some money, ALL skills need to be valid and useful here.

    .

    just gives the PK's another place to look for Victims

    i bet if they had raised the price of Reagents up to 8g each ... you'd be Throwing a Fit!

    I could honestly care less. Regs arent expensive enough to care about, either are arrows. Unless your just poor because your not very good at UO?

    it used to be, one could start out as an archer and build up his bank, at 3g per arrow. mongbats would pay your way.

    Now there will be NO NEWB Archers!... cost too much ...

    I've never known one to just start an archer and go with it. I've always had to put lumber own and make my own arrows for a while until my skills got into at least low 70's

    I did that, killing stuff in nujel'm graveyard and going over to buy arrows from the vendor right outside when I ran out. Raises skills and you end up with extra gold (at least you did when the price was 3gp :roll: )

    What was the reasoning behind raising the Arrow Prices?

    I guess it was priced so high to encourage buying from bowcrafters.

    I agree with the logic of raising price from NPC might encourage buying from players, because honestly what else is bowyer really good for? Magic bows beat exceptional.

    problem with this logic is it takes 0 skill to create Arrows!

    and there are NO Player vendors out there Selling them!!
