bone arrows come back as regular arrows?

[Jamie Lee Curtis]

not sure if its intended or not, but either way its a little irritating. whenever I use my bone arrows and retrieve them, they come back into my inventory as regular arrows. this probably wouldnt be AS irritating if I could selectively get rid of regular arrows, or place them into a basket and just make more bone arrows, but it would seem that placing arrows into a basket pretty much pulls them from your inventory at random.......

i had a similar problem, if you use poisonous fruits on iron arrows, they turn into wooden ones.....

this game is a hotbed of bugs that need to be fixed for years, although the developers decided not to bother

There's a few cases where any other variant of arrow will default to the standard wooden arrows and these cases are indeed a bug but a bug that was never patched out so one we seem to be stuck with. Firing certain arrow types is enough to change then to wooden arrows, but the most notoriously known related bug is that any arrows stored in a basket will also default to wooden when the server is next reloaded. The only functional way to keep your arrows as they are intended to be, is to invest in the quiver for more room and keep them on you.

As for getting rid of certain arrow types, that is easiest if you don't care much about the discarded arrows, like you are getting rid of your default arrows so you have room to pick up modern arrows or something. If you hold the bow and look straight down at it, you get an option to switch arrow types. You can select the wooden ones and just shoot them until they are gone from your inventory. If you DO want to keep them, you could set up a target, shoot the wooden arrows at said target, then place your non-wooden arrows in a basket long enough to grab the wooden ones to place in a separate basket before recollecting the other arrows from the first basket.

Though admittedly, once you have a birdhouse up there really isn't a reason to go through all that. The default arrows become incredibly easy to make whenever you do want them, as long as you have the feathers required. The sticks are everywhere.
