The Molten Quiver is a Hardmode accessory that has the same effects as the Magic Quiver with the addition of turning Wooden Arrows into Flaming Arrows when fired from a bow. Unlike the general ranged damage bonuses, it only boosts the damage of the weapons and does not affect damage of the ammo.

Notes

  • As the Molten Quiver does not boost the damage of ammunition, its actual damage increase is less than 10%.
  • The 10% arrow damage boost of the Molten Quiver can stack with the Magic Quiver and the Stalker's Quiver; however, arrow velocity and ammo conservation chance do not stack.
  • Extra arrow velocity works by setting the arrow's extraUpdates value to 1. This does not affect Jester's Arrows, Ichor Arrows, Venom Arrows, or Stakes, as they already have an extraUpdates value of 1 (or greater).
  • The conversion from Wooden Arrows (5 base damage) to Flaming Arrows (7 base damage) results in a base damage bonus of +2.
    • The +2 damage bonus is not applied when using the Eventide, The Bee's Knees, or the Hellwing Bow, which convert Wooden Arrows into special projectiles on their own. This is because their conversion takes place first, and the projectile is no longer considered a Wooden Arrow afterward and hence will not be recognized by the Molten Quiver.[1] However, the +2 damage bonus is applied when using any of the other bows which convert any type of arrow into special projectiles (e.g. Aerial Bane, Phantom Phoenix, etc.), as long as Wooden Arrows are used as ammunition.[2]

Tips

  • The only advantage this item has over the Magic Quiver is rather dubious, as by Hardmode most players have better alternatives to Wooden Arrows.

Trivia

  • Crafting the Molten Quiver requires the Magma Stone which is a melee-specific accessory, while the Molten Quiver is a ranged-specific accessory.
  • The tooltip "'Quiver in fear!'" is a pun using the term "quiver" as a verb, meaning to shake or vibrate rapidly.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Damage bonus is now additive with other ranged damage bonuses, instead of multiplicative.
    • Projectile speed bonus now also increases speed gained from ammo. Previously, it only increased the bow's projectile speed value.
  • Desktop 1.4.1: Wooden Arrows converted to Flaming Arrows by using this accessory now properly gain the +2 damage that Flaming Arrows have.
