Fun Facts of a Power Builder: Making your own everfull-like arrows/bolts/bullets....

Everfull quivers/boxes/bags are really nice.... you can put crystals on them, and get an unlimited supply of ammunition with all the bonuses.

But perhaps you're a masochist who wants to make your own arrows....  You get all the benefits of the everfull arrows, PLUS, you can also get on-hit stun on the arrows, 1d6 magical damage (as opposed to the bane fluids granting 1d4 magical but only vs a specific racial type) and 3 acid damage against plants, undead, and constructs.  When used on +2 arrows, you get the +2 peircing damage as well.

Grab a quiver container from macedone.... it fits 14 stacks of arrows inside.  Now to crystal up all 14 stacks of arrows.  What will you need?

For each stack, you will need 9 crystals... 1 crystal each of immolation, glaciation, dissolution, quaking, lightning and thunder, decay, erosion, withering, and maiming..... that's 126 crystals!

But wait!  Those are the high end crystals!  What does it take to make them all?

70 fire crystals, 56 dissolving crystals, 84 frost crystas, 168 vibration, and 182 static.


Ok, you're going to need to make 560 crystals, with a number of elemental crystals of X-element left over...


So what's THAT take?

448 essences of earth, 308 essences of fire, 200 essences of air, and 140 essences of water.

That's 1096 essences in total.

That's just under eight full belts of vials filled with 10 count stacks of all the essences.

You will be doing a LOT of essences harvesting for that quiver full of super nice arrows.

If you want to max out your damage even more... you will need 5 rods of greater enhancement to get +5 piercing damage on each of those stacks

So... another fun fact....

How long does it take to use up that quiver of super nice arrows?  If you have 4 attacks per round, access to the rapid shot feat, haste, and elixirs of power.....

173.25 rounds, or just over 17 minutes to shoot off all 1386 arrows in the quiver if you are shooting non-stop.

And stop looking at me like that.... I used a calculator, dammit!
