Arrow: What does it mean in gaming?
World of Warcraft – Ranged Weapon Ammunition (Classic)
Arrow refers to the ammunition type used by bows and crossbows in World of Warcraft Classic, primarily by Hunters and occasionally Warriors. Arrows are consumed with every ranged attack and must be stored in a quiver, which provides additional benefits like increased ranged attack speed. Arrows come in various qualities and levels, affecting DPS output and are essential for maintaining ranged damage during raids, dungeons, and open-world combat.
How do Arrows function in WoW gameplay?
Arrows are the lifeblood of Classic Hunter ranged damage. Here’s how they work:
- Ammo Type: Exclusively used with bows and crossbows. Guns use bullets instead.
- Quiver Requirement: Must be placed in a quiver, which often provides haste bonuses.
- Damage Variants: Higher-tier arrows (e.g., Thorium Headed Arrows) offer better damage scaling.
- Vendor & Crafted: Can be purchased from vendors or crafted by Engineers or Blacksmiths.
- DPS Dependency: Running out of arrows disables ranged auto-attacks and abilities, heavily affecting performance.
- For sustained performance in WoW Classic PvE, keeping a full quiver of high-quality arrows is as important as gear. Don’t forget to restock before your next Onlyfarms Raid Carry!
