Just got 6 of these Stupid things from the one in Dangrif Wadi :/ what a waste of gil for the chip.
#REDACTED, Posted: Feb 08 2008 at 10:35 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) does it only drain 1 or 2 MP when you macro it in? i'd imagine if you macro'd it in for Unlimited Shot it could be a cheap alternative to PPA

Rune Arrow

This arrow has a latent effect which "costs" 1 MP per "tick"...similar to how Refresh "gains" 3 MP per "tick". It kicks in as soon as you Press "Attack" regardless of whether or not you actually hit the monster.


The latent effect is triggered under the following conditions:

1. You have MP
2. You draw your weapon (press "attack")


If you do not press attack, there is no MP drain.

Please note, if you use this with another Rune item, such as Rune Blade, the MP "cost" DOES stack. I tried the Rune Blade & Rune Arrow combo and it drained 5MP per tick while I was engaged with the mob. Not good for a PLD!

As far as I can tell, there is no guild recipe for these arrows (or any of the other rune equipment?)

But people are obviously getting the arrows from somewhere :oP

Could anyone post where they have found these, what mobs drop them, that kind of thing? Thanks
This is...uh..weird

Ok, the latent effect ON THIS ITEM(it varies per item) only takes effect by draining 1 MP of YOUR MP a second. So, it depends if you have enough MP to use this, seems kinda pointless to me I payed 1k for this along with my rosenbogen and now I'm pissed -.- Just thought I'd let you all know about this.

#REDACTED, Posted: Nov 07 2004 at 9:29 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well first of all it would make no sense by any logic to have it drain mp. I'm not saying it doesn't because I haven't tested it but think about it. RNGs don't have mp niether do SAM or WAR unless they sub a mage class which is even more bazaar @ that lvl. However if they meant for PLD and DRKs to use it as they can equip a bow and have mp to spare, that wouldn't make any sense either has you would never anything as a PLD or DRK with a 0 in bow skills @ that lvl. The sad thing is that it might be activated by mp latent effect and in that case, FFXI programmers should ***** slap themselves for being so retarded for making such a retarded arrow.

all the rune items have the same requirements for activating the latent effect: while you're engaged, they drain mp. when you run out of mp, the effect ends.

It activates while you're engaged in a fight and will drain 1 mp per tick and grant you the +1 vit and +10 ranged accuracy.

Health doesn't play into it as the latent effect happens with full hp or with low hp.

I can say with 100% confidence that the above information is correct. I've just spent a while testing it out in an XP party.

I don't think your bow choice plays into it but I was using a lightning bow +1 with it.

*Latent Effect Activation*

While you are actively engaged (damaging an enemy), and you are in yellow or lower HP. One point of MP is drained every three seconds. No MP, no latent effect.

Note: Possible that there are more conditions, but this is what I've observed to be true.

I've heard that MP drain theory several times, I'm in favor of that being it. Check other rune equips, I think someone has a proof or something.

I don't know the condition for the latency, but people seem to think it works on a level 70+ PLD. Rosenbogen or Rosenbogen+1 with this arrow are the best a PLD can have in their ranged+ammo slots for tanking HNM, +4 or +5 VIT.

Makes Happy Egg look like Bronze Subligar quality equipment, if Rosenbogen wasn't so hard to get it would make up for me being offline at Easter. You could take Lightning Bow for DEX+2 with this I guess. Fenrir Stone is probably still the best ammo slot choice for exp parties though.

on mysterytour it says sumthin about the latent effect draining ur mp, it was like 4mp for 3 seconds and when u ran outta mp the latent efect was gone
RE: Latent effect?

actually, I've heard that a latent effect is an effect that activates when your HP is red (thus, whenever your HP runs low, you get 1 more VIT and 10 ranged accuracy, then when you heal past low, the bonuses go away). Of this, though, I am not 100 percent sure, but im pretty sure it is correct.

Thats right sometimes. The lvl 50 job earrings are triggered by low HP, yellow HP. Once you are above that in HP the effect is gone. Some items, like those lvl 30 earrings, are activated by your sub job. Others are based on your main job. I can't say for the Rune gear...but that would pretty crappy with these arrows eh?
RE: Latent effect?
# Aug 22 2004 at 3:22 AM Rating: Good
actually this is not correct either. the level 50 earrings have 2 conditions. your hp has to be in the yellow or worse AND your tp has to be below 100.
