Crafting arrows uses the carpentry skill. At 90% carpentry you can craft superior arrows with fine cords (rock and branch don't have quality).
Arrows can also be traded. 1 arrow costs approximately 4.5 meat (Stag) cuts.
Crafting requirements
- 1 x Branch
- 3 x Feather
- 1 x Rock
- Tying equipment
- A knife
Quality
Quality scale from worst to best: curved, rough, decent, fine, superior
Arrows of the worst quality (curved) are not accepted for trading while bartering.
"Decent" (i.e. average) quality is not indicated by name in-game, and is considered default.
Usage
Fine and superior arrows are more accurate than normal arrows, so it is more likely you will hit a leg or arm if you aim there. It is also easier to hit medium to small targets (fox, ermine) with those arrows.
URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the arrow thusly:
A regular arrow which has a spearhead shaped tip attached to a wooden shaft. These are most common and good overall arrows in hunting and war. They cause small but deep puncture wounds and have the best piercing capabilities of all arrow types.
There are no special types of arrows for regular bows and crossbows so any arrow can be shot with any bow. In addition to regular arrows there are also broadhead arrows and blunt arrows.
After [w]ielding a bow you can shoot arrows by [t]hrow command. To carry a bow readied for a quick first shot you can also wield an arrow beforehand.
