Screechingmu Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Techniqually their fare game, but it seems that most people take other's arrows not for their use for training range but rather to get a reaction out of the player via verbal fighting etc. My Guide to Killing Green Dragon Autoers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denismage Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 If it takes you over a minute to kill a single monster, you aren't supposed to be training there in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilligers Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 i always pick up arrows and sometimes when i give them back they pay me. once at varrock sewers i got paid 2k for picking up 1k arrows (bronze and iron). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberthree Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I mostly always go for addy+ arrows. Runite I always grab. But seriously, if you hate "arrow stealers" so bad go do Animal Magnetism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk8_tolivv Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Meh, I don't really run into many of those. But when I do...oh man I hate it. Whats the point? People usually train with Iron arrows and you usually only get like 5-10 of them...woooow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddavy2004 Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well even though it is frusterating they can do what they want once the arrows appear on the ground it is "fair game" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyhenriksen Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I don't pick up arrows, but if the ranger can't pick them up fast enough it's the ranger's fault. Anything on the ground is for anyone to take. R.I.P. Shiva and Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasty Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Okay I have two sides to this debate, 1 where I'm being the archer and 1 where I'm being the "Arrow Thief" as you call it.. Archer Side: I got the arrows myself and it's annoying and noobish to take them away just if they appear. They are owned by me and shouldn't be taken by anybody else. "Arrow Thief" Side: If I see anything of value on the ground, I pick it up if I myself didn't drop it. Simple as that. Low level archers shouldn't be fighting Black Demons or anything like that because they know that they can't kill a Black Demon in less than a minute. Fast993's Side: Although stealing arrows isn't right, if you see something on the ground belonging to anybody, it's yours to take and keep. The Archers are basically saying that if they get Pk'D in the wilderness, the items they dropped are still theirs while the "Arrow Thieves" are basically saying that if you get a kill in wild and see items in front of you..take them. I would lean more to the "Arrow Thief" side because they aren't doing anything wrong. The Archers think the "Thieves" are doing something wrong because the "Thieves" steal their arrows. Well, FYI Archers, soon as some arrows of yours appear on the floor to other players, well..anybody can pick them up. They aren't yours to keep forever. Also, Bravo to the person who made this thread, very interesting topic to choose. =D> Corruption Council - http://corruption-clan.com/forumTeam TKO Blitz Leader - http://tko.rs-clans.comFeel free to PM me if you have any questions about Corruption or TKO Blitz.

Ouchy Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Once they're visible to everyone, they're fair game. I'd take them just to piss the ranger off. lol holiday. i reckon theres two sides. Its the rangers fault for not picking them up brfore but the rangers shouldn't have to pick them up during combat. they should be able to take there arrows back after combat and be on there way. Just for the record i am a ranger and everyone that steals my arrows ( :evil: ) always gives them back to me =D> :thumbsup: \ My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity.

IAm314159 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 One: If your arrows are appearing on the ground for others to see, you are picking a monster way beyond your standard to defeat, or you are simply being lazy by leaving all your arrows on the floor. The latter behaviour is condemnable, unless you really want to increase the speed of your training and want to forgo the chance of being able to pick up your arrows. Two: You should not be pouting and shouting at the other person once he/she picks up your arrows. Finders Keepers. Remember that. Three: It is good courtesy to allow the person a chance to pick his arrows up from the floor, especially if they are steel arrows and up. If they are bronze or iron, be free to pick them up, but be ready to give them back to the other person if he/she asks for his/her arrows back POLITELY.

ThruItAll Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Well if your arrows are appearing for others, you are fighting something too tough. Pretty much hit the nail on the head. It's your fault for not picking it up earlier. Also, if you're letting the others appear, the monster is obviously too difficult for you to battle. danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptogram Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 It's true that if arrows are on the floor they're fair game. Personally, I'll leave all arrows until the monster they're fighting is dead and they have a chance to retrieve their arrows. After that, if they're addy or over, I might take them. If the ranger still complains, I argue the case and return the arrows for the sake of good feeling. To go pouncing on the arrows the moment they appear, to me, is the act of a petty opportunist. It's not that the guy's just died and left a ranger set and an archer ring; I would join the scramble myself in that case. But arrows are a little petty, huh? I regularly train with rune arrows, and if you've ranged at all for any length of time, you know that occasionally you get a series of blue splats and you're thinking "Okay. I have the best range gear, range pots, rune arrows. Why do I bother?". Then you right-click that the spot where your arrows have landed and it says: Take: Rune arrows Take: Rune arrows and you know that some of them are now visible. So someone comes and nabs them. Okay, a few arrows, so what? I agree with the point that if your arrows become exposed, then you're fighting something that is either challenging to say the least, or otherwise too difficult an adversary for you. This is what you should expect. But a message to you arrow-takers, be considerate? Don't follow me. You might not make it.All your accounts are belong to us now.If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adicolorz Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 arrows are like runes you can get back, you dont care about a wind bolt once its cast but an addy arrow is different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwontpk Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I steal arrows all the time. It is a great way to get a training spot to yourself and a conversation starter 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol000999 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 an archer is going to be hiding behind something if they're in a spot where they can't reach their arrows, and you wouldn't want to leave an area of safety and appear in front of some angry dragon just to pick up some arrows, would you? Cannon + C balls + Ranger Boots + Dark Bow + Dragon arrows are cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
