Arrows
Ammunition for the bow and the crossbow: one arrow a shot, picked back up where it stuck.
In the game
How to get it
A column in the grid: a flint on top, a stick in the middle, a feather below -- four arrows. A stinger can take the flint's place.
What it is for
Every shot of a bow or a crossbow takes one arrow; without arrows they cannot shoot.
Why it exists
Every arrow counts: they are not infinite, so the bow pushes you to gather, hunt birds and pick your arrows up.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Arrows are crafted four at a time.
Recipe
A column of three cells:
| Top | Middle | Bottom | You get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flint | Stick | Feather | 4 arrows |
| Stinger | Stick | Feather | 4 arrows |
Feathers come from birds (hens, sparrows, parrots, gulls, flamingos); stingers from scorpions and cactus hogs.
Good to know
- The Bow and the Crossbow shoot one arrow a shot.
- Walk over an arrow stuck in the ground or a wall to pick it back up.
- A Mimic chest sometimes hides a few arrows in its hoard.
A flint head, a shaft, feathers: the bow's arrow.
