New Arrow? Can it be used in ammo slot?Follow

Question?
Just found this Shadowspike Arrow https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=72062 . Can this be used in your ammo slot with the AA Endless Quiver? Only needing one arrow, this would be a huge boost in damage. The highest arrow I knew of was CLASS 7 Drakebone Drakespike Arrow (Range 125)https://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/recipe.html?recipe=7048 Big Difference between Damage 13 vs 50.
Has anyone tried this?
I am starting to craft one tonight but if you can’t use as an arrow in ammo slot, please save me the time. Specially becasue my fletching is only 250 and would have to craft a lot before I could attempt it.

Thanks

EQ doesn't work on that particular one, and they're tradeskilled via the SoF tradeskill quest. And as Arrow damage isn't calculated as straight damage, it's not as huge improvement as you'd think. Parses with 46ish dmg bows, show only a 15-20% dps increase between the 2 arrows listed, where the total dmg if the arrow dmg was pure, is around 90%.

However with that said, I've heard of some players that keep stacks of them just for specific raid mobs for the increased dps.

Also, there is at least one thread on the Sony sight about the need to fix the way arrow damage is calculated, and make more non-EQ high dmg arrows, but they haven't figured out a way to implement the arrow dmg to make it viable yet. If I get some time, I'll see if I can find the thread, and edit it later.

Thanks Yther,
That was the info I was looking for....I will wait to get higher befor considering. if I could get 50 damage I would take the chance...lot of effort for one arrow.

Could they not controll this like other items or spells. IE: can not use certian spell but only on human form. No animals or undead. The only thing then that really controls dmg is the bow. I am not saying add 50 dmg to an arrow. but the arrow head should be a bigger dmg control then the bow. IMO
