Carrying all three in your hands might be tiring. Or awkward.

Crossbow bolts get a case 1GP, as do arrows get a quiver at 1 GP.

An over the shoulder case for a spear and/or javelin should cost about 3 to 5 GPs?

Don't worry about that everyone hand wave that stuff. Unless your DM is running a game that is that anel about inventory, bookkeeping, resource management, and carrying capacity.

But on the side note if you must know ask your DM. If the price is not in the book.

A quiver for javelins would probably be cheaper than that- a significant part of the prices for arrows/bolts is the arrows/bolts themselves.

As for carrying a quarterstaff/spear- in the real world, people would just carry weapons of that size (same with large axes, polearms, and greatswords). That being said, I can easily imagine some sort of sling arrangement (such as are used with rifles) being well within reason.

It is the price for case/quiver itself, bolts/arrows have separate entry in equipment table.

nice use of a (misspelled) pejorative to describe someone else's taste

If you'd carry all of these, you'd probably just tie them together with a leather string and carry the bundle over your shoulder (or get a donkey if you want to transport a bunde of several javelins). Maybe cover the bundle with leather or a canvas plane in wet weather. Also, I generally just allow players to use spears of appropriate length as quarterstaffs when they hit enemies with the shaft or the blunt end, perhaps your GM will allow the same.
