Steel Arrowheads

[Jayce MacLeod]

Having trouble with these. I can make Iron arrows with the appropriate mold and iron. I found the Steel crafting guide, but I cant seem to find Steel Arrowheads. I cant make the mold for them without a single arrowhead, and I'm guessing you can't break down Steel arrows i find on corpses/containers etc single arrowhead? Finding these arrowheads is just pure luck it seems? I'm level 20 if that helps.

Thank you,

first you need a book about them " theRiddleOfSteel " then you need to find the steel arrowhead itself from what i saw in game files it can be found in sportingGoods loot group which is usually asigned to shotgun messiah gun crates after you have both you will be able to make the steel arrowhead mold which used in forge with steel bars/ignots will make more arrowheads

Ah ok, I have the riddle of steel book, i'm just trying to track down this elusive Steel Arrow head. I'll keep a look out for a Shotgun Messiah. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction

Has anyone actually found steel arrowheads? I've been going back and forth between four different Shotgun Messiah's for almost 80 game days now. Find plenty of steel arrows, but not arrowheads.

Edit: It would be nice if you could deconstruct an arrow like you can a round of ammunition.

Good to know they do exist. My team and I loot everything and have yet to find one. Day 55 and levels 35-45

We also have not found the steel arrowhead, but we found over 400 steel-headed arrows.
Please add a "dismantle" option like there is for bullets so we can get a head for the mold.

yah lack of recipe to dismatle them is kinda large oversight since all other ammos can be dismantled to get raw part in ortder to make mold aka bullet tips, casings

At what quality would the bow become better than the crossbow?

never cuz both damage of bow and xbow are not depending on weapon quality(they are catapult class) - they are hard coded into their projectiles and bow projectiles in terms of raw damage ar lower than those of xbow but flaming arrows can ignite target and that might tip the overall damage dealt by xbow but in terms of raw power xbow is more stable

but if we are talking in terms of item durability then bow will be eventually superior crossbow has fixed amount of HP -250 while bow is level scallable 30-600hp if you add some random quality from crafting this woulld mean that at level 20-25 bow will have more HP than crossbow and it will continue to do so and that would mean more arrows shot from bow from that point on.

On our server, we have ~30 regulars who play around the clock and dozens of us want/are looking for that arrowhead and after day 300 no one has located a single one. Is it really supposed to be this rare? We are focusing on the Shotgun Messiah loot, but really this seems kinda overly rare.

[Surmene]

I think the sportinggoods loot group is applied to lockers as well. Either way, just as rare.

You would think the same mold for an iron arrow tip, would also work for a steel one. Just a different metal going into the mold, but the same shape. Ingot molds too. One mold should be fine for any ingots, again the metals used in the mold would define what type of ingot comes out in the end. Maybe too much logic for a video game there though? I dunno...

The steel Arrow Head is found in only one loot group, (sportingGoods) and then in only one loot container.
<!-- shotgun messiah -->
<lootcontainer id="39" count="2,5" size="3,3" sound_open="UseActions/open_chest" sound_close="UseActions/close_chest" loot_quality_template="baseTemplate">
<item group="militaryguns+ammo" prob="0.1" />
<item group="gunparts" prob="0.5" />
<item group="militaryammo" prob="0.1" />
<item group="guns+ammo" prob="0.1" />
<item group="sportingGoods" prob="1" />
</lootcontainer>
To up your chances, edit the loot.xml file; and paste <item group="sportingGoods" prob="1" />
to a few more locations like lockers, munitions crates, secret weapons cache, etc.

I find it ilogical that you cant use iron arrowhead mold for steel arrows. Same item diferent material

This is not true and has already been discussed/addressed in another post: stop posting false info just based on XML reading, not all game mechanics is inside XML you know. Arrow/bow damage do go up with level unless Madmole is making up things.
