Minor: Can Eldoth auto-stack poisoned arrows?

in Feature Requests
Why oh why does he create 5 seperate arrows in 5 seperate inventory slots? It would be much less of a hassle if the arrows would auto-stack as 5, or even better, be added to an already existing stack.

Since they are technically also not Arrows of Biting and are only usable by Eldoth, could they look different than Arrows of Biting? They don't stack with those and it's a bit annoying/confusing if there are both types in his inventory and quiver.

    Hmmmm. One of the features of the latest patch is that items should actually auto-stack, which means this might actually be a bug rather than a feature request. Might be worth tagging @Dee to see what he says about it. Its possible that this just slipped under the radar.

    That's exactly why I was excited to try the ability again, instead of just buying stacks of Arrows of Biting. What happens is - he spams his inventory with single arrows, and when you click on one, they go to their stack. But you still need to click each one, which can't be the point. He also starts dropping them to the ground if the inventory is full, and at least in that case, the stacking should work. I tested it with a stack of 40 Eldoth Arrows, then rested-used ability-rested without stacking them manually. In the end, he still had a stack of 40, all other slots filled with 1 arrow and the last one dropped.

    Sounds like a bug to me. Obviously the a request for a new icon is a feature request, but hopefully they can at least sort the stacking out. :)

    Yes, this sounds more like a feature-not-working-as-intended type deal.

    Maybe using the Arrow+3 graphic from BG2?? Or they can make a shiny new one.

    Just recoloring Ice Arrow to green would help as icon. It would keep the current spiky look, and not be confused with non-spiky green Acid Arrows.

    Also, was it always possible to sell the arrows? Other personal items can't be sold, and the ones that can (i.e. Neera's staff) are not usable only by the NPC. Not sure it makes sense a store would buy arrows no-one can use. (Stack of 80 to Thunderhammer Smithy at 9 rep/18 char for roughly 2000 gold seems a lot for useless arrows.)

    I think they always could be. I seem to remember reading some NPC guide ages back that actually put 'infinite money' as a bonus for taking Eldoth, due to being able to sell his poisoned arrows.

    Hm, I still think that's weird, considering that no-one will buy Xan's Moonblade - the one other "NPC only" item.
