No more consumable ammo in 3.1

Big changes for Hunters in patch 3.1 - WoW Insider

In 3.1, hunters will no longer need to buy arrows or bullets for their ranged weapons, freeing up a bag slot. And rightfully so. As happy as I am for hunters, WHY DO WARLOCKS STILL NOT HAVE STACKABLE SHARDS!

They have identified a similar problem with ammo, and fixed it. Why can't we get shards fixed to


*updated by Akasha*
In our 3.1.0 class updates post, we had announced plans to remove consumable ammunition from the game upon the release of the next major content patch. Our original plans were to change ammunition so that hunters would no longer need to utilize bag space, while adding some new functionality that would continue to make ammunition a compelling element of gameplay. Unfortunately, this intended change will not be completely ready in time for patch 3.1.0.

We still fully intend to move forward with this change when the additional functionality becomes available, and for 3.1.0 we still intend to remove the need for pouches/quivers by greatly increasing the stack sizes on arrows and bullets, and the haste bonus from the bags will be preserved in another fashion. We’ll be sure to inform our players with further updates once they become available.

They did say a while ago that they are working on a cool new glittery system for shards.

Oh i looked it up in the patch notes, ... The ammo they have no longer stacks...so they still can have different types of ammo in ammo poutches just that they no longer have to buy arrows to shoot em.

Re: No more consumable ammo in 3.1

Nice. So will save me some gold and the memory slots to remember to fill up after a big night.

I'll be keeping my pouch for the buff however. So still short a bag slot.

Re: No more consumable ammo in 3.1

I honestly don't think Blizzard were thinking about Engineers when they made this change. Forking out gold after gold to purchase arrows/bullets just to be able to do damage has been an issue with Hunters since, forever.

Imagine if Warlocks (or any class) had to purchase Mana, and without purchasing it, couldn't do any damage...
