Mechanical Quiver

A.K.A - The Whirlin Quiver

A Mechanical Quiver that is unlocked to auction quality. You can also cast spells at the quiver when you are creating ammo to harness the energy. This quiver will create magical ammo for ranged weapons when it is supplied with shafts cut and prepared from wood or bone. Placing fletching paint within will allow for custom coloring. Casting certain spells at the quiver will cause it to harness the magical energy. This is an auction quality version. So basically, you put a bunch of materials in it and it lets you combine them. Then you can cast a spell at the quiver, and the arrows will have that flare. If you cast Implode on it, it will get vacuum flares. So if you bless the quiver, the arrows will be blessed. Disintegration and Disruption are not on the list. I'm not sure on the total it can hold, should be around 100. You can 505 it, yes. No Balefire. Belt worn

A couple things:
1) You place Shafts and potentially paint into the quiver. There is currently a bug where if you add shafts so that the total amount is over 100, it will duplicate that number of shafts, so you commonly end up with stacks of 180 shafts. That's been reported for a while. Close and turn the quiver. Up to 100s of RT for creation of the arrows, which can be mitigated by Haste. Out pops arrows. This contributes to going higher on your bow enchant, and is why I use kakore wood rather than something like faewood... my bow is 8x.

You begin to turn the crank on the side of the mechanized quiver. You hear the churning of gears followed by a series of grinding and cutting noises. A shrill, high-pitched whistling sound emanates from within as steam rises from a series of vented slits on the top of the quiver. Finally, the sounds begin to fade as the crank rolls through the last bit of resistance.
Roundtime: 97 sec.
Roundtime changed to 45 seconds.

You swiftly open the hatch on the front of your mechanized quiver, the door sliding smoothly on its hinges.

You carefully count the arrows and find 175 in the bundle, each one being a spiraled dark crimson arrow, with a strength of 30 and a durability of 65.


The arrows do NOT need to reside in the quiver to get the properties of whatever you use on the quiver. I typically moved mine to a warrior quiver to give the weightless benefit.
2) Arrows created by the quiver are guaranteed flaring*. This also introduces potential for 2x Flares as well. If an arrow flares, the arrow explodes and is non-recoverable. The exception to that is if you permabless arrows with 304 at the quiver. Yes, casting the spell from a scroll works just fine to give you permablessed arrows.
* They're only guaranteed flaring if the initial impact does not kill the critter. Instant-death crits will result in no flare, so you can recover the arrows.
3) Casting a spell will change any previously created arrow from the quiver to the flare of choice. If you quiver-fletched 6000000 arrows while it was in fire mode, and then cast ice at the quiver, all of your 6000000 arrows are now ice flaring. This allows you to dynamically change the flare while hunting based on the target.
4) Arrows created by the quiver are not transferable. Even if you use enchanted woods, anyone not in possession of the quiver will only get them as 0x, nonflaring arrows. I'm not 100% certain what happens if you transfer both arrows and quiver together to a new person, since the benefits are diminished by the first caveat.

Lastly, I've heard that these arrows do not function with the new pixie bows, since I heard the bows suppress flares on arrows. It does, however, work with Ensorcelling and Rotflaring properties on the bow, enabling up to 4 flare rounds per shot.

This is best for folks that either have the ability to quickly swap elements and want to capitalize on it for the confluence, or for folks that have invested heavily into a particular bow and are looking for their arrows to be similarly strengthened.

That's the best bump I've ever been given in a sales thread.

Thank you,
