Arrows

[Warspaz]

I spend way to much time crafting them or getting the mats. Not here to make arrows all day just to play.

Lots of posts on this including one by me. It is ridiculous the amount of time that is required to gather feathers. The most viable source of feathers are the chickens that drop one stupid feather. If they dropped four feathers, it would still be stupid low. What is frustrating to me at this point, is the lack of response from the devs which otherwise has been decent. It is painfully obvious that feather drops need a boost, Go into the chicken file and change the damn "1" to a 4 already. : /

If farming costs more than what you can produce, then there is something wrong with the game.

100% agreed. Archer build is just a constant hunt for resources. They need to increase the amount of twigs you harvest to at least 3 - 5

Just make a slot in character equipment for quivers next to the backpack slot, then add a magical end game quiver that gives us a basic infinite arrow that's less strong than op arrows. Then we would still have to craft the strongest arrows but we would have more resources and spend less time crafting maybe?

This is a very good game, especially at the stage it is at, but this arrow situation really needs to be addressed and soon. Most people I know switch off of ranger builds once they get to the feather phase. Farming shrubs en mass isn't terrible, but farming feathers is. I made 500 arrows to try to get some feathers and returned with 30 feathers and 0 arrows. Diminishing returns like this make people switch classes, or switch games. I am basically using scrap arrows to fight lvl 30's now...this isn't working

They should put a way to make twigs out of wood, that would be great, like 20 twigs per wood log. I find its faster to mine the wolves den, it gives me like 300 twigs, but its boring as hell. Hope the devs listen to us, after all thats what EA is for.

Yeah it gets to be a boring chore to have to go hunt chickens for hours every time you need to restock on arrows if your play style is to use bows a lot.

They either need mobs that you're going to be fighting in the course of questing anyway that reliably drop feathers, or they need there to be certain spots where significant numbers of the chicken creatures can be harvested in a reasonable amount of time. Having to run around for hours to find enough chickens to kill to get enough feathers for a couple crafts of arrows is a bit too tedious.

It essentially makes you pause everything you're doing at regular intervals just so you can go grind out materials that you need to be able to even use one of your primary weapons if your build is heavily reliant on bows.

I havent even got to the part where i will need feathers, we should be able to build chicken farms then.

Melee gear just requires repair at the workbench. Staves have infinite spell casting and can also repair Magic gear with just a button click at the workbench. Archers can repair the bow, but still spend way too much time farming resources to craft arrows. Where are the Infinite Exploding Arrows? Add a questline/requirement to learn Infinite Arrows.

Way too much time farming resources, just to play an archer character. I have parked my archer character (no build/skill set saves) and have already leveled a melee character.

One day, when feature upvote ( https://enshrouded.featureupvote.com/ ) is unlocked again, everyone here can jump back into adding and voting for these suggestions.

I just downloaded wemod and used it on the items I didnt feel like wasting time farming

[Sgt.JESUS]

All this quality of life things should happen as you progress though, someone even suggested that the glider is acquired too early in the game and i agree. Imagine the impact if we only have the glider after finding the carpenter. The same with the arrows, if they simplify this after you acquire some form of ranger gear for the hunter, that would be better.

[Humpenstilzchen]

I hope the devs will tweak this. Farming feathers is just too time consuming and becomes a chore fast.

[wandrecanada]

Yep. I thought stick farming was a chore then I got to feather farming and I want to delete character.

Make unlimited quiver for standard arrows and special arrows can be manual craft. Archer is the only class that needs to farm for 2 hours just to play the game for 2 hours.

[Beveridge]

I certainly don't want an handout, but the farm has to be reasonable. Being able to have a chicken coop where you can farm feathers at your base is a good solution to this problem. Also to the egg issue, which isn't as bad, but as they are needed for the top regen food, i do run out of them often.

I found a good trick with twig gathering: Use your pickaxe on the creature "nests" and you'll get a ton of twigs.

Agree on the feather thing though... I spend what feels like half my game time hunting feathers.
