Metal tipped arrows

[spavaloo]

Same as other arrow recipes, but with metal nuggets. Maybe add a step where you have to craft the nugget into an arrowhead with an anvil before making arrows with it (One nugget could perhaps yield two arrowheads). I imagine they'd have a higher damage potential than the other arrow types.

It certainly should be ingame sooner or later. But i believe that in current stage rather melee weapons should be taken care of. They seem to be underpowered and underdiverse right now. Adding even more damage for bows would kill them of completely.

Yes, OP, but this guy also has a point.

It's always struck me as weird. Bone arrows are at least as easy to get compared to stone ones, usually more so after your first hunt. But stone deals less damage. Well in the old system, my hunter told me the same here but I never tested it XD

Have you considered rather than increasing their damage giving them PvP effects? Perhaps only Metal arrows can be fired from the RBow, but they have same base damage as old bone arrows in Rbow (that's assuming it exists, not there yet). Alternatively, metal arrows could have Armor pen on their shots or inflict particularly grievious wounds.

I think there's plenty of room for a metal arrow in this system without a flat increase in damage.

Yes, armor penetration is good idea. I don't think there is really point in increasing flat damage, as in this case arrow is just an arrow. Whereas stone is alot harder to shape and sharpen than bone. Archery in general seems to me at a very fitting level damagewise, and usewise. I only wonder if players have somewhat ways to defend against arrows. Do shields give some significant bonus, for example? Haven't got to that point in game yet.

All of these armor penetration ideas are better than my original one.

Thank you for doing my thinking for me, guys. Sometimes I just don't.
