Arrow and bolt recovery.

[KickAssassin]

Why can you not recover more then one arrow/bolt fron an killed animal. And why can you not revover a arrow/bolt when using a skinning bech?

Check the break chance when you hover your mouse over the arrow. If it's something like 20%, one out of every 5 arrows you shoot are most likely unrecoverable.

Yes I know this. I have almost 100h in the game now. You NEVER recover more the one arrow/bolt when skinning. Sometimes you can pick them up before you skinn, but that is very random. And in the skinning bech you never recover an arrow. But if you shoot one killing arrow and skin it workes like intendend and you get 20% arrow back.

Yeah, skinning/picking up a beastie will only get you one arrow back, regardless of how many are in it at the time. The way to get the others back is to pull them out of the body by hand first. That may be easier said than done, depending on how the body landed but so it goes.

That's also why the skinning bench doesn't help: picking the body up will trigger the arrow pickup and that's for some reason limited to one.

Decay timers are the real menace. You'll see it ticking down very quickly on arrows in baddies. For bosses and things with a ton of HP, you'll see the arrows decay and vanish while still in the living thing's face!

I think the devs need to rethink this. That some arrow brake do make sence. But that they disapera or is impossible to recover don´t. I fell it´s more a bugg then actual a real game mecanic. But who knows.
