Title says it..

In the past, we were able to give a follower 1 single arrow, and theyd fire them infinitely, allowing you to loot them.. Ive been giving mine anywhere from 1 to 5 at a time (Ebony, Stahlrim, Daedric, and Dragonbone) and while shes been using "Zephyre" exquisitely, shes running out of arrows,and reverts to her default iron ones..

Was this patched?

It works for me. I gave Annekke 5 Ebony Arrows, and she's primarily an archer. She has used that Wooden Bow so manu times. She still has those 5 Ebony Arrows in her inventory.

One of the patches probably effected the characters funny, making this work with some but not others. I've noticed it too, but have also noticed that it works on other followers/NPCs

I wish Beth would post their patch notes so we can see what all was done.

They release patch notes everytime they release a patch.

Ah, its offsite. Apologies. I've been absent from the site since before Skyrim was released, so I wasn't aware of any patch note's existence.

Alright... I am using Rayya, who is a Redguard Housecarl from Hearthfire.. The houscarl for Lakview Terrace Homestead.. So maybe shes not susceptible to this exploit?

Edit: Id also like to add, that she is one badd-A Biotch btw! She can dual wield, and ive given her some pretty sick equipment to compliment her abilities, and they do...WELL!

-Zephyr (Bow, Dwarven, 30% increased firing rate-Legendary)

-Mehrunees' Razor (Dagger, small chance to instantly kill, Legendary)

-Valdr's Lucky Dagger (Dagger, 25% increased chance for critical hit, Legendary)

- Daedric Armor (Fully upgraded, albeit only single enchanted)

She seems to hang back, and can take a moment to catch uo to way into combat, but WOW! Ive also given her some one handed jewelry, and the armor is mainly enchanted with HP/Stam 62, and Regens! Give her some potions of Healing, and Stamina 150 and shes just godly so far.. I prefer mages, but shes filling in nice;ly while i locate ne to replace "Illia". J'zargo was worthless, and others r just too weak...Other than a helm, she wont equip light armor, so i went daedric.. Maybe ill add the "Ebony Mail" for some increased dmg output! If i remember correctly though, the ebony mail often hit civilians/guards..

@ OP

Are you using any unofficial patches? I noticed the same thing with my followers and infinite arrows. I dont know for sure if it was because i started using the unofficial patches, but it was a possibility. I wasnt too worried about it so i never bothered looking at the UF patch notes to confirm it.

Infinite arrows only works if your follower is using the default hunting bow I think. If you get them to use another bow, you must provide arrows.

It still works with Derkeethus. I can confirm that.

Also. This. You gotta have them use the default hunting bow.

Unless they are Dawnguard. I believe Dawnguard members have infinity steel bolts for their crossbows... Might be incorrect though. Never really had a Dawnguard member following me that much.
