A Quiver is an item used to store bolts or arrows. It is worn on the body, like a backpack. Naturally, it's useful to a marksdwarf, hunter, or anyone else that intends to wield a crossbow or bow.

Fortress mode

Quivers are made of leather at a leatherworks. Marksdwarves and Hunters will automatically wear quivers if they are available, and carry a stack of bolts in it. This allows a dwarf to carry one extra stack of bolts, typically bone or wood training bolts in the hand, and metal ones in the quiver.

Invaders, merchants, and migrants often have silk and cloth quivers, even though you can't make them yourself.

Adventure Mode

In adventure mode, a quiver can hold any number of arrows and bolts.
