Arrows (Objects Help)

Arrows, in short, are long pointy sticks. You store them in quivers. They serve as ammunition for the bow. Without arrows, the bow is essentially useless.

Arrows can be lodged into a target and stay there. Should that target be you, you will have to manually 'yank' them out. You should better do this fast, as the consequences of having arrows lodged in yourself are rather unpleasant. With an arrow protruding from your body, you will notice a decrease in your natural healing. With multiple arrows, you will notice your health dropping.

Arrows can be 'salvage'ed in a room or off of a corpse once they have been shot, so that they may be retrieved and used again (they might need repairing afterwards via the 'fletch' command).

The most commonly used and fastest way of obtaining arrows is to 'fletch' them yourself in a forested area. However, if you seek better bow ammunition, you will either have to buy your arrows in one of the archery stores in Arda, or loot them from NPC corpses. There are also several quests with very good arrows available as their reward.

Some arrows may have various side effects other than simply damage. For example, orcs have been known to use arrows with poisonous tips...
