Revision as of 18:08, 29 November 2006
Is there a place that indicates the different affect/damage the arrows do? For example does flaming arrows do anything different than a piercing arrows? Their individual pages do not indicate as such. Do the higher level of arrows do more damage? I would assume that the level you can learn to make the arrows indicate that they have a specific level of comparison - but is there in details on these? Despite the fact my first hero is an archer - I'm in the dark on this. --Ylem 14:07, 29 November 2006 (CST)

Arrows. Lowbie arrows follow the levels listed. IE Standard/steel/barbed/(poison?)/flaming/piercing.
Barbed arrows have the potential to stick in the mob (-dr affect vs characters can be seen if you fight drider hunters in web).
Damagewise, Splinters hit 2nd hardest of all non-quest hero arrows (2nd only to Explosive Arrows); but suck against armored mobs.
Piercing Arrows are the 3rd best arrow at hero (below Splinter and Explosive); and suffer no damage penalty against armored mobs.
Generally; hero arc would have large stocks of piercing AND splinter arrows; and switch between them depending on what areas are being run. Explosive arrows are difficult to fletch; but hit considerably harder than any hero arrow (besides quest ones).
Other than the rare situation where using poison arrows would be beneficial (UD, soloing, etc); there is no point to use lowmortal arrows on a hero character. --Kerdor 16:08, 29 November 2006 (CST)
