			This really should not affect many of you at all, but I'm posting just in case anyone notices any odd side effects I may not have anticipated.

			There was a minor issue involving ammo in T2 and T3 quivers where there were a lot of aesthetic customizations to the point of it making a show description instead of a long description on the ammo. In some rare cases, this was causing the quiver to eat the ammo. (Note: You would definitely know if you were affected by this, as you would have gotten a notification to ASSIST when trying to TURN your quiver to the compartment containing the extra fancy-looking ammo.)

			This is now fixed, though, and the quiver's appetite should be soothed.

			If you still notice your Compartmentalized Quiver not properly saving the long description or show description of your ammo, though, please BUGITEM your quiver and respond here. However, I did test quite extensively and the change itself was very small, so I doubt this will cause any further issues.

			Thanks!<br>

			As of yesterday, the GATHER functionality for the T2 Compartmentalized Quivers will no longer induce RT on its own. There is still RT to change compartments, however, so if you GATHER ammo that needs to be moved into a different compartment, there will still be a 2 sec RT. If you are just using GATHER quiver to place ammo in the currently active compartment, however, there will be no RT assessed anymore.

			There is still an issue with PINCH that is being investigated - I will update here if/when there is progress on that. I just wanted to get this GATHER update out for everyone.

			Thanks and happy archery,<br>

			''"To include accounting for Blessed status, on top of just description/Enchant/flare, I'm guessing?" ~ Krakii

			If you put a non-blessed arrow inn the quiver with a blessed bundle in the "active" slot, it would find a new slot for the non-blessed arrow and keep your blessed arrows separate. What it is essentially doing is checking each compartment and asking "can I bundle with you?" until it either finds a match or an empty compartment.

			''"So instead of carrying 600 arrows (6 bundles @ 100) == 60 pounds of encumbrance, a character with a fully-blinged T2w/max# would be carrying 600 arrows == 10 pounds encumbrance (plus weight of quiver itself [== base of quiver +5 pounds for extra compartments]), AND when picking up/"gather"ing used ammo would NOT have to worry about cycling the device to hit the correct one; 'gather/put in quiver' would auto-locate the correct socket and stow them there." ~ Krakii

			Correct. In addition, a T2 quiver has the "Auto-Gather" ability, in which you'd merely have to do "GATHER MY QUIVER" and it will scour the ground, gather the arrows and automatically place them in your quiver. (Essentially like doing GATHER arrow, put arrow in my quiver ... but all in one command.)

			Also, base quivers are 1 pound. A maxed T2 quiver with 6 compartments would be 6 pounds base, plus whatever weight of the arrows/ammo in the "active" compartment.

			''"I know that many revolver-users keep one chamber empty (where the hammer is), in order to prevent accidental discharge.
			Do I correctly interpret your writings here that doing the same thing--6 chambers, 5 with ammo, 'active' one is the empty--would result in +0 encumbrance (only the weight of the quiver itself)? Until it cycled to something for you to shoot, obviously." ~ Krakii

			Yes, that is a strategy you could use. However, you would have to use TURN (roundtime 2 seconds) to switch to a compartment with ammo in it in order to have access to ammo to shoot with. You can't equip an arrow/bolt if the "active" compartment is empty. But I suppose if you were not actively shooting anything and wanted to save some weight, you could switch to the empty compartment. (You can also switch to a specific compartment using TURN quiver TO #, where as just TURN cycles to the next compartment in line. INSPECT shows you the numbers of the compartments and what is in them.)

			''"Does the act of cashing in a T0->T1 certificate, automatically confer the +1 compartment? (Reading the 'analyze' in the "~Unlock Status~ by Tier" section on the CQ GSWiki page could lead one to assume that. Goes from 'nothing special' at Tier0 to '2 out of 4' at Tier1.)" ~ Krakii

			Yes. Using a T0 to T1 unlock certificate gives you a "free" bonus extra compartment, as none of the features really work without at least one "extra" compartment. But if you want anything beyond the minimum/base, you need to buy +1 Compartment certificates. At a fresh T1 unlock status, the quiver would weigh 2 pounds (1 pound for each compartment). T0 quivers only have 1 compartment, so they are 1 pound.

			Hopefully I answered all your questions! :)
