    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    Remove bows from Skeleton Drops
    What are you suggesting:
    Remove bows from the skeleton drop loot table
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    Bows makes skeleton grinding extremely frustrating, especially since we cannot sell them to the server. They become more common of a drop the higher your looting enchantment, which almost feels backwards. Removing them will (hopefully) make skeleton grinding better.

    This would be great if possible. Bows are the most annoying drop as they don't stack and can't be sold to the server.

    I agree, however this suggestion isn’t aimed at that. If skeleton grinders were the best way of making money (or top 5), I wouldn’t have suggested this change.

    One or two may be nice to get, but having an entire inventory of bows that are unsellable and don’t stack is just annoying.

    I see that, but still its vanilla, and the most i got was 50/50 bows and bones stack, so i dont really see the reason to edit this

    For context, in less than an hour of skeleton grinding (one spawner) I got about three dchests of bows. That’s too many. With our mob stacking, if you use a sword and kill multiple skeletons on one swing, you get the same drops per skeleton, meaning you can get like at least 4 bows for one swing sometimes.

    I get what you’re saying but we are such a LONG way from vanilla already. The bows pile up very quickly.

    +1 for what it’s worth.

    I understand, but still i do disagree, as the bows are good for the grinding, make bows /sell handable instead :)

    Andrew said That will never happen. If bows have a sell price, all bows will sell regardless if they are normal bows or magic bows (and regardless if they are owned or not).

    +1 Either removing the drop or allowing them to be /sell hand for $0 would be great

    I think that should be a risk to take, just take care of your owned items :)

    No, kkha. If you're farming with a bow and you /sell all the Magic/ECC/God Bow that you're farming with will be sold. I can't even imagine how annoying it would be if I had to put my ECC Bow in enderchest every time my inventory is full.

    +1 Bows are annoying to get and they pile up very quickly.

    No way man. 200k-50mil dollar bow is not worth the risk so that we can have more unenchanted bows that are made of sticks and string.

    I like the idea as bows are annoying to get, but maybe... Reduce the likelihood of getting a bow instead of removing it altogether. Then you still get a vanilla feel, bows etc.

    +1 Agree with this suggestion, since we cannot /sell hand because it's too risky with OP Tools, which is completely understandable, the best is indeed to remove this unnecessary drop. Whether it's vanilla or not, in all mains server, a lot of things are not necessarily vanilla and we are very happy with it.
