🏹 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

🔫 Bullets

Bullets are used with Guns.

Bullet Req. Level Source Added DPS
Miniature Cannon Balls 56 Stratholme - Zone Drop 20.5
Rockshard Pellets 47 Blackrock Depths - Lord Roccor 18.0
Thorium Shells 52 Engineering / Vendor 17.5

Mithril Gyro-Shot 44 Engineering 15.0
Hi-Impact Mithril Slugs 37 Engineering 12.5
Exploding Shot 30 Quest Reward 9.5

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
