Crossbow bolts

[LEGENDnoONE]

No crossbow bolts left, can't beat water monster, can't find any silver to make some crossbow bolts, any help anyone, please

Keep looking. There are bound to be other silver deposits. I remember tons of them around the deep roads. They're frequently found in the X-shaped caverns with water down the middle, and the giant moths. This is a very common room tile, that will be found repeatedly in the deeps.

Edit: Aim for the orange eyes BTW. It only takes 4 shots to kill the watcher, if you hit the eyes

[LEGENDnoONE]

Thankyou, will keep looking

[Norfigrim]

Got a minute? I can craft You some.

You could always make a 2nd world, for harvesting things you need. You keep the same character.

[LEGENDnoONE]

Thankyou, all sorted, upgrade to pick sorted it

Whereas I'm in a situation where I have 2 out of 3 fragments for the crossbow and can't find any statues I haven't fixed. So I've only got a hunting bow. I also don't know how to make Khazad Steel to make the Tier 4 bolts/arrows.

Lucky me.

Oh and the Elven Quarter is quickly running out of trees.

Yeah, it's pretty astonishing that something you need for a consumable such as an arrow would be so scarce in supply and not respawning in any kind. Trees/mushrooms should respawn after a couple of days... I know that world hopping is possible and have done it myself to get more Elven Wood for some chests, but it always feels like half-cheating.

Mushrooms do respawn. I've knocked down a couple of the same ones several times. You can get wood out of any mushroom, even the smaller ones. But yeah, the elven trees do not seem to respawn at all. There are also WAY more mushrooms than elven trees, even if the mushrooms didn't respawn.

The only other resources that I can think of that isn't renewable are some of the gems and natural coal. But you can make coal with a hearth, so it's just some of the gems (such as the gems used to make anti-shadow charms, inconveniently found near shadow vents). Other gems are renewable (there are various ore rocks that respawn and those can drop gems). Possibly resin? I haven't found a respawning rock for resin yet.

Really? The only time I ever saw the Ubasam Wood mushrooms respawn was directly after a patch. I had quite few in the hall where my Lower Deeps mining camp is situated; I cleared the whole hall and not a single one has respawned so far.
