Infinite quiver

[KarinsDad]

People are forgetting the utility factor here.

3600 arrows over the lifetime of a PC might only be 120 GP, but it is also 360 pounds of arrows and it fills up a large wagon.

PCs can go through long stretches through wilderness and dungeons, but the Ranger never ever runs out of arrows.

And of course, by level 15 or so, 4200 GP is pocket change.

The reason it is 9th level is not because of the math of the cost of arrows, but because of the fact that the PC is in high Heroic. He's about to become a Paragon PC where mid-range magical effects like a quiver that never runs out of arrows is expected. He's no longer sticking around the village, he's exploring larger areas. It's the appropriate set of levels for handing out such an item, not the appropriate cost per arrow.

Perhaps, but it can virtually be replaced by a level 5 Bag of Holding + 120gp.

... or a sidekick with a backpack.

Well, it would take 2 Bags of Holding + 120 GP to carry 320 pounds of arrows.

And technically, the Infinite Quiver can be used by thousands of creatures in the game over time to acquire millions of arrows.

It's a good thing the ammo created by the endless quiver disappears, or in that context, the world would become thick with broken shafts and used arrowheads.

"...virtually..."

The PCs come across King Bowbeard and his Castle of Arrows, Quiverholm. Built miticulously over several generations using infinite quivers.

Too bad. It would make finding firewood easy.
