Separate spawn category for Ex shots? (in General)

Currently there are three categories of ammo that spawn in the store: arrows, bolts, and shots. If there is not enough arrows, then more arrow will spawn; not bolts or shots. The problem is that iron shots and ex shots are grouped together. Ex shots are bought up immediately with iron shots left to accumulate. I used to buy up the iron shots so ex shots can spawn but I stopped when I was informed that such actions are not allowed. The whole point of moving ex shots to store is to make it more available and cheaper, yet I am force to buy them from auctions at around the same price as rare ammo. If moving the ex shots to the store was to satisfy people who like to camp then by all means keep it the way it is, if not then I am suggesting that ex shots become a category by itself so it can spawn separately from iron shots.

Sounds pretty smart :)

I rather want to see that exp shot spawns directly into auctions like any other special ammo.

Sometimes they spawn directly onto peoples' main page.

;)

Yes, its great!

I wouldn't mind seeing exshots go back to auction because campers are the only people benefiting from the current system seeing as how prices hover around 10CB/shot. To my knowledge that was not the intended effect of moving them to store.

Don't lie, lol, their not going to 10/shot, cuz mine wont even sell for 4.5/shot, so don't lie about that... And to my knowledge they never spawned in auctions.

i say we get 1/20th the regular exp shots, being a single mage, they don't really work on me, or i need them... but i think that if they are so godly with a sod, then reduce their amounts, so that you have to pay out the rear to have great damage!

Please take a look in the auction right now. You would see that 80% of the ex shots are selling for 10CB each. As for spawning in auction... they should not at all after the switch to store. If you are selling your shots for 4.5 please contact me as I would gladly buy them and make a profit retailing them.

Ex. shots are arguably either the first or second most useful type of ammo in the game... Seeker arrows being the only competition. At the very least, no matter how you choose to argue it, they are ten times as useful as seeker bolts. Yet, seeker bolts are considered rare, and spawn only in auctions... If explosive shots are so useful, then why have them in the stores when other rares go directly to auctions?

I think Ex Shots are as good as seekers, I don't see why 10CB a piece is so bad...

Im not saying that 10CB/shot is bad. In fact I think it's a good rate to pay for such a useful ammo. All I'm saying is that it defeats the purpose of having them in stores. They should either they get a category of their own and drive down prices, or they return to auction.

Ah, I actually forgot to agree with that point in my last post... I got sidetracked... no, you're right... I think they should spawn as a rare ammo, because they are ridiculously useful, and if the don't get that respect, the separate category was a fine idea.

yea, ok, i just canceled my auction selling 9.8k exp shots with a min bid at 4.5/shot that didnt have a bid for 12 straight hours, and put them back in at min 60k, and BIN at 95k, betcha i never sell em at that price....

You have to admit that big stacks are harder to sell. Some people who would like to buy them just don’t have room. Look in my auction history. Most of the ex shot I sell are around 10CB/ea. Small stacks move faster.

Yep it was for the campers.

By the way, do you actually use a SoD?

Sorry, I forgot that auction records are secret. Anyways, I do use a SoD but it’s too big for my current NCB character.
