🏹 Ammo & Quivers
Reference information for Hunter ammunition, quivers, and ammo pouches in WoW Classic.
🎯 Ammunition
Ranged weapons require ammunition to fire.
- Bows and Crossbows use Arrows
- Guns use Bullets
Ammo adds a fixed amount of DPS to the ranged weapon.
Damage added per shot:
Ammo DPS × Weapon Speed
Example:
With 20 DPS ammo and a 3.0 speed weapon:
20 × 3.0 = 60 additional damage per shot
See Attack Formulas for the full ranged damage formula.
🏹 Arrows
Arrows are used with Bows and Crossbows.
| Arrow | Source | Added DPS |
|---|---|---|
| Doomshot | LBRS - Shadow Hunter Vosh | 20.0 |
| Thorium Headed Arrow | Crafted - Engineering Quest Swap | 17.5 |
| Ice Threaded Arrow | Alterac Valley - Reputation Vendor | 16.5 |
| Jagged Arrow | Vendor | 13.0 |
| Precision Arrow | Uldaman - Baelog (Horde Only) | 11.5 |
| Feathered Arrow | Desolace - Quest Reward | 9.5 |
| Razor Arrow | Vendor | 7.5 |
| Sharp Arrow | Vendor | 3.5 |
| Rough Arrow | Vendor | 1.5 |
🔫 Bullets
Bullets are used with Guns.
| Bullet | Req. Level | Source | Added DPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miniature Cannon Balls | 56 | Stratholme - Zone Drop | 20.5 |

| Mithril Gyro-Shot | 44 | Engineering | 15.0 |
| Hi-Impact Mithril Slugs | 37 | Engineering | 12.5 |

Miniature Cannon Balls have the highest listed bullet DPS, but their zone-drop source makes them impractical to maintain compared to crafted or vendor ammunition.

⚡ Ranged Attack Speed
Quivers and Ammo Pouches increase ranged attack speed.
This affects:
- Auto Shot cast time
- Auto Shot cooldown
- Aimed Shot cast time
- Multi-Shot cast time
The haste bonus stacks multiplicatively with other ranged haste effects.
Example:
With a 15% Quiver and 40% Rapid Fire:
Attack Time = Base Attack Time / 1.15 / 1.40
The haste bonuses are not simply added together.
See Shot Mechanics for full haste and Auto Shot timing behavior.
📦 Ammo Storage
Quivers and Ammo Pouches provide dedicated ammunition storage.
- Quivers hold Arrows
- Ammo Pouches and Bandoliers hold Bullets
Running out of ammunition prevents ranged attacks from firing.
Ammo stacks in groups of:
200
