The rotating quiver concept seems more limiting than useful to me but I get that some people may find them useful. I use e-bladed and blessed bolts when I hunt so thought I would share my function key macros as well. I fletch my own bolts and paint them to match the element/blessing they will hold. While I hunt from the open using a dual light crossbow, the concepts used below could easily be applied for bow users as well.


-- F9 - This function key serves two purposes. It SETS the typo of ammo you want to use and gathers any of that ammo type into your quiver.
\xready ammo red bolt in my quiver\rgather red bolt\rput my red bolt in red bolt in my quiver\r

-- Alt-F9 - SET and/or gather blessed bolts. Add more additional ammo types as needed (e.g. Ctrl-F9)
\xready ammo silvery bolt in my quiver\rgather silvery bolt\rput my silvery bolt in silvery bolt in my quiver\r


Once the desired ammo type is SET, combat generally consists of F1, F2, F3, repeat and using F9/Alt-F9 to gather my bolts or to change the bolts I am using. If there is more than one critter in the room or if there are a lot of critters in the general area then I will TARGET <critter> before initiating combat.

-- F1 - Fire (go all out, take advantage of the crossbow kneeling bonus)
\xkneel\rstance off\rfire\r

-- Ctrl-F1 (more conservative attack, remain standing and fire)
\xstance off\rfire\r

-- Shift-F1 (Turn the dual crossbow over to fire/load the 2nd bolt)
\xturn my crossbow\r

-- F2 - Cock Crossbow
\xstand\rcock my crossbow\r

-- F3 - Load Crossbow with currently SET ammo type. Ready to fire again.
\xstance def\rready ammo\rload my crossbow\r

-- F4 - Panic button. Something has gone awry. Turtle up.
\xstance def\rstand\r

I think what people are asking for here is a quiver that will work with the ready list so that it's a set it and forget it thing.

Yes, you can write the macros and make it work. My problem right now is that I have many different flaring arrows, 1 set of ebladed for warcamps, and 1 set of blessed for undead.

Writing macros and more importantly remembering the macro keys while fighting isn't that easy for me.

Here's an example of a problem I run into. I have scarlet arrows (fire flare for trolls) and blessed arrows (for the undead in Marsh Keep). The scarlet arrows are set as my READY LIST AMMO.


>get 1 my arro
You remove a single scarlet arrow from a bundle of scarlet arrows.

>put my arrow in my arrow in quiv
You cannot bundle these together.

Why can't the system recognize that the scarlet arrow came from the scarlet arrows bundle and replace it. This seems like it is the type of thing that the READY LIST is supposed to take care of.

Can't you just use two quivers that open/close? And when you switch ammo types, close the non-used quiver and ready ammo in the used one. I think this would prevent any of the confusion you're experiencing.

Okay so its been 5 months since your post but how about this don't know if the mechanics is possible or if anyone would want them . But how about garden shovels or garden rakes the lil hand held one that when held add a modifier to your roll when foraging when 603 is cast. it also would give you a glimpse of every herb in that room that could be foraged . Here is the twist however.....to actually forage you have to have one hand open you would have to put away your weapon/shield to actually forage with it

A Foraging sack for rangers that duplicates what ever foraged item that is put in it Once with a random roll for failure (turn item to ash) or up to 5 duplicated items with a random roll for quality of said items. It can NOT do healing herbs however.I would farther restrict it if possible by making it work on items foraged only by said range if that's possible. It also wont hold anything else in it but foraging items and the hand rack or the hand shovel with a restriction on the number I think 10,15,20 foraging items would be good....Not a great twist here but it has to have only one item in it to activate it.

Well that's my 2 cents except if these are due able please make one sack in plain leather,,,,,,my ranger likes leather

Osokree but just call me Osok

Like the idea but instead of quality I rather it raise the price. It such an easy and cheap cost to make a skinning ranger that skin cost would matter more for me
