Wicked Arrows,Wicked Bullets,lvl 55...Follow

#1 Dec 05 2006 at 8:58 PM Rating: Decent

Was browsing through the AH shortly after my server came online after the patch,and noted two new lvl 55+ ammo choices,both offering 22 DPS compared to the 17.5 of the Thorium Arrows and Bullets...

Any idea where these new loads come from? Is it a drop from somewhere or a recipe? And if it is a recipe,what class makes them? I know engineers can craft thorium bullets,but what about the new ones?

My thanks,I look forward to the answers...

I think I remember a guildie saying he saw them at a vendor in IF near the Battlemasters.

Edit: Err...the arrows I mean. Not sure about the bullets.

Any vendor from which you can buy regular bullets/arrows, you can buy these new ones.

The new bullets/arrows are very nice, got my first full ammo pouch in EP. However, it is rather a shame that they completley outshine the crafted ammo (Thorium Shells/Arrows)... I can't really see anyone wanting to pay 50-75s a stack for Thorium ammo at 52 when they can pay 16s a stack for these at 55...

Thank you for your responses,but I have looked in IF with the ammo/munitions dealer at the far end of the military zone,and at the Fletcher's shop in Darnassus...Still have not seen them.
Overtyrant,you mentioned getting some in EP -Light's Hope Chapel? If so,would you confirm this,and name the vendor,too?

Thanks again for the responses,still a modest mystery at my end :)

In Darn, the arrows are definitely there... In limited supply. I can't use them, but wanted to see what they did and checked. The vendor had 4 stacks, but I hear tell that was a glitch. Someone else bought a ton and didn't see any number with the item.

Found the arrows in Darnassus finally,thank you :) My hunter has a ways to go before he can use them though.

I expect engineers to shortly warm the ears of the Devs who came out with this new ammo...A lvl 1 Alt can now undermine a lvl 52 miner/engineer who has spent much time and effort to both skill and level up to make thorium bullets (swap for arrows in IF) by reselling wicked arrows or impact bullets at a modest 300% markup...For many engineers ammo is their main source of reasonably steady income,and the market is very competitive...Nice work Blizz,jeepers.

Don't buy these on AH, you can buy them from vendors pretty cheap, somebody's just trying to make some easy money.
I know I've seen them sold in Searing Gorge, the Thorium Brotherhood sells them there. As I believe this vendor is accessible to both Alliance and Horde (correct me if I'm wrong, please), I think this should pretty much answer to your question, whatever sort of animal you are :-)
Good Luck with anything you're doing...

The shop in Stormwind, between the inn and the city gate, carries both the new arrows and bullets. They are only about six silver more per stack for a nice increase in DPS.

As for engineers, I fully expect Blizzard to add new bullets for engineers to make when the expansion comes out with new types of metal.

There's also a vendor in the Caverns of Time, which has now been unlocked in Tanaris. I don't think there was a limit to his supply but it is considered a new faction, so no faction discount unless you managed to hax your way to honored. = P

Just to elucidate - the new bullets (and other shot) are now sold by General Goods vendors
