Quivers

[Richgar]

Hi everyone. I would like to suggest the addition of quivers. They are containers that can be equipped on the back, meant for holding arrows. Quivers of larger sizes can hold more arrows. When the player attempts to shoot his bow and his right hand is free, he will draw arrows from his quiver. This will be more convenient, as players will not need to reload as often. Switching between ranged and melee will be easier because arrows are already equipped. What are your thoughts?

I think a stack of 65 arrows is a quiver, essentially. Can't imagine they'd hold much more than that. Remember that you can use /dequip and /equip commands in shortcuts to switch weapons.

That's good. Then they can be stored in a regular quiver rather than carried in the hand.

The problem is when doing archery you have to use both hands so there are nothing really you can have in your other hand else than... arrows.

Actually, I think quivers could be really nice to avoid situations where your inventory is just crammed with stacks of arrows. What about a quiver item you can /use to extract a stack of arrows (similar to chests). Then one big heavy stack of quivers is all you need to take with you for a bow training session.

The engine allows to check for a container in the hand where you can wield arrows, therefore quivers are supported. However we need art for a quiver because using a sack mesh is lame  there was a prospect working on it sometimes ago but unfortunately afaik the project wasn't carried on to the end.
