Compartment quivers were initially released during December 2018 Duskruin Arena and sold at Bundle Up to assist with ammo handling prior to the archery updates. The concept was designed and delivered by GM Avaluka.

Analyze

Below is the base ANALYZE for compartment quivers. Additional information found in the ANALYZE as part of tier unlocks can be found beneath each additional tier.

You analyze your quiver and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
~Compartmentalized Quiver~
    Compartmentalized quivers keep your ammo collection neat, tidy, and all in one place!
~General Script Info~
    * Once unlocked, these quivers gain access to weightless extra compartments to store ammo bundles.
    * Only the currently selected compartment's contents will count towards encumbrance.
    * Each compartment only holds 1 bundle.
    * Use READY AMMO on the quiver itself and it will use whichever bundle is in the current compartment when you FIRE.
    * Quivers can be shoulder, belt, or thigh-worn.
~Alteration Guidelines~
    * Alterations to the 15/15/15 and long description are fine, though shows are not possible.
    * Quivers MUST be made of metal and have the noun 'quiver'.
    * You may NOT describe the quiver's wear location, such as using the words belt or thigh.
~Unlock Status~

Usage

Verb First Third
NUDGE Shoulder:

TINKER Taking a firm grip on the glaesine top of your quiver, you give it a hard spin, letting it twirl with a rhythmic set of clicks and whirs. As it slows to a stop, you cock one ear to the side to listen to the mechanical noises, frowning in concentration. You shake your head in bewilderment, unable to really tell much from the noises other than it's working as intended.

    At this tier, you have access to the verbs: RUB, CLEAN, GET, DROP/PUT, NUDGE, TINKER, TURN, TOUCH, POINT, PINCH, SPIN, PUSH, PROD.
   You can use INSPECT to see the configuration of the compartments and their contents.
~Features~
    * Weightless Compartments
      Extra compartments for this quiver will hold ammo weightlessly.
      This quiver currently has a total of 2 compartments out of a maximum of 6.

      - Use PUSH to feed any gem, with more valuable gems giving more charges.
    * Flare Display
      Use PROD to toggle a special description based on the ammo's properties.
~Custom Description~
    Your quiver's article is currently set to a/an .

Usage

Verb First Third
POINT Reaching to the side of the dial of your quiver's current compartment, you flip a lever into place, ensuring the mechanism will stop there as a default. XXX fiddles with something on the side of her quiver.
At Creature:
Focusing intently on a greater burrow orc, you fiddle with the dial on your ora quiver, attuning it to a new setting. You are pretty sure it will now be attuned to a greater burrow orc, though likely spinning the dial can narrow the focus.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

PINCH With a deft spin, you twirl the dial of your quiver's current compartment, clearing any attunement it may have had. XXX deftly spins a dial on her quiver, causing a chorus of clicking noises.
SPIN How are you expecting to adjust the focus of that compartment when it is not even attuned to anything? N/A

PUSH You need a gem in your right or left hand to push into the quiver's slot. N/A
With gem in hand: Reaching forward, you press an uncut diamond into the gem slot at the base of your ora quiver's current compartment. The gem vibrates slightly as it settles in place and a low hum builds. A bright flash erupts from the quiver before it falls silent.
