right now there are just:arrows

lowest ones should be dirt cheap as to level up easily but very weak damage. higher ones should be hard to craft but do alot more damage.

people complain archery does too much damage, or is too cheap compared with magic. well this is how you balance it without destroying the skill entirely.

usual arrows type names, steel, iron, obsidian etc.

acid arrow

troll. selentine arrows drop in quantitys of 100 from theyril chests. They do about 1.5x the normal arrows damage but doesn't state that they're any different other than the name.

They're called Sheath Arrows, havent seen them implemented yet. You used to be able to make the icon with ^Or Arrow_02^ or something like that. The description stated that they travel faster and have a flatter trajectory.

^This. I've seen them linked several times, was probably just a chat link and not an actual item link, but they are in the game.

It'd be nice if you could enchant bundles of arrows instead of bows for archery.

Ide just like to see variation. Longer rage with less damage. Blunt for plate, peircing for chain, slashing (frog crotch) for cloth. Maybe Elemental damage like Duk said.

Hell, why not have higher crafters can make expensive cluster arrows (break into a bunch of arrows for a makeshift AOE). Have a little bomb on the end of the high level arrows for a knockback AOE.

Not saying any of this will do MORE damage, just different damage.

Its a shame that this game is capable of so much with its simple physics engine, crafting system, and skill system, yet it hardly takes advantage of anything.

This game is still very new, let's wait until they fix the needed things.

I saw an item in beta called "Anti-Tank Arrow"... more arrows seem pretty obviously planned.

Heavy steel arrow must have bonus VS heavy armored guy. Arrow with wide blade with bonus VS naked/cloth/leather.

Cold arrow must have bonus VS ice monsters, etc.

Archery is quiet, cheap, and sustainable. A good archer can fire 200+ arrows before being run entirely down, a mage maybe 12 fireballs.
