macro chain
# May 21 2004 at 6:06 AM Rating: Decent
I'll do this macros near:

Unlimited (Macro1)
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <me>

PPA (Macro2)
/equip ammo "Patriarch Protector's Arrow"
/wait 3
/equip ammo "Demon Arrow"

ONLY if Macro1 works then you activate Macro2 too and suddenly after your WS ! This way you'll never loose your precious arrow ;)
Doing PPA stand alone macro let you use your WS macro even if Unlimited Shot is not ready using a normal arrow ^^

There's a problem with this system.
Many people use macros for their weaponskills, and as most of you know, using one macro stops the execution of any other macro currently running. In other words, if you do Macro1, then Macro2, then a WS macro, you stop Macro2 before it gets to the /equip Ammo "Demon Arrow" line. In effect, you'll use your unlimited shot PPA weaponskill, then proceed to shoot your PPA normally, thinking it's a Demon Arrow.

Your system only works correctly if you're using a weaponskill from the list: not macroed.

Well he did not list the 3rd macro which I'm assuming is the weaponskill followed by /equip "cheaper inexpensive arrow"

Rkenshin stated:

equip ammo "Patriarch Protector's Arrow"
/wait 1
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <me>
/wait 1
/ws "Sidewinder" <t>
/wait 3
/w equip ammo "(whichever type of arrow you want to switch back to)"

Not a great macro, considering if you hit this before Unlimited Shot is refreshed, this will happen:

You equip Patriarch Protector's Arrow
Unable to use job ability "Unlimited Shot"
You ready "Sidewinder"
You kiss your 32k CP arrow goodbye
You equip your other arrows
You cry uncontrollably

I am trying to figure out a hotkey setup that I can use when my TP is ready, but wont blow my Patriarch Protector's Arrow if "Unlimited Shot" isnt up yet. Any suggestions?

I can't take credit for this but I found it in another thread and thought I would share it here. Two macros, one for setting up Unlimited Shot and Patriarch Arrow, the other for using Sidewinder and switching back to Scorpion Arrows.

Name: Unlimit
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <me>
/equip ammo "Patriarch Protect's Arrow"
/p Using |Unlimited Shot|! time for the big bad arrow ;)...
/wait 1
/echo |Patriarch Protector's Arrow||Ready!|

Name: UNSide
/ws "Sidewinder" <t>
/p Using |Sidewinder|!! Uber-arrow equiped! :D
/wait 3
/equip ammo "Scorpion Arrow"
/echo Doesn't hurt to double-check :D...

This also doesnt work because it takes up 7 lines, and you only have 6 lines in a macro. To ensure that you dont loose your arrow just put Unlimited Shot in a seperate macro, and only use the sidewinder macro when you knows its safe.

My RNG class in not lvl 60 yet, but what is "Unlimited Shot"? I don't see it in any part of Allakhazam.
RE: hotkey
# May 09 2004 at 11:22 PM Rating: Decent
Unlimited shot is a job ability which makes it so that the next shot fired doesnt use the ammo.
I will need this later

I am from San D'oria, is there any possible way that I can get this arrow?

You can buy the arrow with conquest points from any War Warlock at the gates in windy.
Stats
# Mar 30 2004 at 4:12 PM Rating: Decent
The stats are insane, +40 ranged accuracy is like +80 agi, while +10 ranged attack is +20 str, plus good damage. Even though it's one shot per 5 minutes it means hitting sidewinder a lot more and i heard it adds on a couple hundred points of damage. Of course i wouldn't know personally, i just read it from a post in ranger forumn.

Anyone know if you can buy this from the AH?

Considering how incredibly good the arrow is, it's not nearly as bad as you make it out to be.

Ok, Unlimited Arrow definately is a RNG ability. It is a high level RNG ability that is used once you get into the 50's. It allows you to fire one arrow at no cost, which prettymuch mean you get a shoot an arrow and still get to keep it.

Only catch is it doesn't work with Barrage. Most people will usually use it with a weapon skill or two-hour ability, the macro goes something like this;

/equip ammo "Patriarch Protector's Arrow"
/wait 1
/ja "Unlimited Shot" <me>
/wait 1
/ws "Sidewinder" <t>
/wait 3
/w equip ammo "(whichever type of arrow you want to switch back to)"

Simple as that :D

chill dude what kinda ranger are you? you know there is that skill, and that is what everyone is talking about. Think before you type buddy.
tradable?
# Jan 29 2004 at 1:17 PM Rating: Default
Is this item tradable? Hope so....

Does this arrow only appear when Windurst is in 1st? I'm a citizen of San d'Oria and would only be able to get this from Windurst when San d'Oria is in 1st, and then for 64,000 cp. But would be unable completely if it appears only when Windurst is in 1st.

Probably wouldn't be too valuable if you could only use it once would it?

The Unlimited Arrow skill is the only reason this is viable.

Ranger
# Jan 23 2004 at 1:06 AM Rating: Default
Only shoots once. So it extremely precious. Recommended for Ranger. Using "Unlimited Arrow", ranger can shot this without losing the arrow.

Unlimited Arrow is ranger lvl.51 Job Ability for your information.
Where can I find such arrows???

[b][/b]Yo! how can I get this super cool arrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am looking for this now.
RE: Where can I find such arrows???

You can get it throught the conquest system. In Windurst you can get them if you have rank 7 and 32,000 conquest points.
One time Use or Carry
# Jan 04 2004 at 5:28 PM Rating: Default
So this arrow sits in your inventory and gives the listed stats?

When used in combination with the Ranger ability "Unlimited Shot" (Which is obtained at level 51 as a Job Ability) and "Sidewinder" (Which is gained as a Weapon Skill for Bow class weapons at level 175) you are able to deliver an accurate (+40 ranged accuracy) and powerful (40 base damage plus ranged attack +10) attack which induces Paralysis every 3 minutes (3 minutes is the time it takes for Unlimited Shot to recharge).
RE: One time Use or Carry
# Jan 06 2004 at 8:08 PM Rating: Default
No, I'm pretty sure its one time use.. When you fire the arrow you get the mods from it.
