I wanted to create a magical arrow. I used the "Arrow of Slaying" as a template so that I would just have to edit it.
I named the arrow "Arrow of the Raven Queen" and hit "Save". It failed which surprised me because at this point all I changed was the name. Turns out, because it was a "Base Weapon Type" of "Weapon" I was forced to choose a "Base Weapon". I thought it was strange that the Arrow of Slaying template didn't already have that selected. But when I looked on the list, there was no base weapon to select. There was no way to select "Arrow" or "Ammunition" or anything.
To save, I was forced to make it a Wonderous Item. However, now it appears differently than Arrows of Slaying and doesn't register as a weapon in the character sheet.
Currently we have no ability to make homebrewed ammunition. It is apparently planned for the future, but not yet. Often it is best to simply make them as custom equipment directly on the character sheet.
Soooo, It's been a Year?? Is Any news on resolving this? Would be great for all the Rangers out here
No. Current priority is working on the general features system that includes epic boons, piety, minor blessings, etc.
From what I can tell, homebrew in general is going to be very low priority, so they are not going to improve homebrew just for the sake of homebrew. I am not sure when they are going to work on dragon hoard items, but if they do, that is probably when they will work on Moonblades, Vestiges of Divergence, company items, piety weapons, etc. and hopefully with fingers crossed that would include ammo too.
Would love to see an update to this after 2 years because for now I have to make magic arrows into wondrous items. :/
I'm still waiting too... I'm guessing they will never do this. Hard to understand why it would be hard given that things like the "Arrow of Slaying" exist in their tool.
lmao actually insane this hasnt been resolved yet. Probably due to Wizards buying out the company and removing almost everyone who previously worked here. Sad stuff, really wanted this plus the shared inventories feature before a VTT. Guess we know what makes them more money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do appreciate this as a hack to achieve the effect but stopping game to set this up for a player is pretty disruptive compared to say you find X# of special arrows. So I would still like this resolved.

This would be a nice addition as many games include custom arrows
I don't feel like it would take long to add an item type called "Ammunition" like, I don't get why they can't just take a couple hours to do it.

I have no idea what it takes to prioritize this. Maybe upvote the original post?
I'm still waiting as well :( trying to copy ammunition +1 results in an error since it doesn't even have an appropriate weapon type.
Just started making ammunition and found this problem,.
Nice to know, even if no solution, that other people have this problem too.
Making custom items on individual character sheets is not ideal when you are trying to create standard ammunition for multiple players.
Seriously… over 2 years and no solution.
And none likely forthcoming because everyone is too busy messing with the OGL…
People may be leaving over that, but the fact that something like this gets ignored doesn’t help.
yeah, same problem for me...
I'm just gonna make it a wondrous item and we'll have to not lean on DnD Beyond so much...
Still broken after all these years apparently? The first complaint I can find about this goes back to 2017!

Just make a custom action/item for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had to make them as an item and I went with a scroll or potion instead of wonderous items so that it could be stackable
Checking in and pouting. Still nada. Year's almost over. GET ON THE BALL, BEYOND! For goodness sake...
