Brass or flint Arrows?

[Cockroach]

Flint seem to be better generally but what do you think between the two?

I think bow tier and skill mastery plays into how much damage you do with the bow so it's not cut and dry. You've got to have a considerable percentage of your combat grind in bow mastery.

Are you insane? Why would you ever want to make bronze arrows? It's so time consuming it's not worth it. In bronzes current grindy as hell state I couldn't recommend it unless they reduce the amount of copper needed, give more copper from copper mining or increase the amount of bronze bars you will receive.

In bronzes current state I will most likely never craft bronzes arrows once.

Yah Bronze Arrows are the most economically inefficient arrows you could possibly make.

but where do you get obsidian at earlier stage

Exactly, you'd have to farm bloodbags in the swamp for frost resistance potions to even be able to get the obsidian in a reasonable amount.

Trail of camp fires, stone and wood is easy to come by :)

Fire Arrows incidentally are one of the more economically efficient major arrow upgrades, just don't shoot fire elementals with them, everything else but the Bone Mass and Sea Serpents take good damage from them and a lot of mobs are weak to fire arrows

Oh yeah, i forgot that you could go that route as well :)

Oh yeah Skeletons resist arrows but it doesn't do them any good because even a level 2 skeleton dies easy to them.

Flint or fire IMO. I skipped bronze arrows, felt like it wouldn't be worth the grind to make them.

[FrankyFourFingers]

As of right now fire arrows will be effective against all mobs except Swamp...
Once you beat the swamp boss (don't use arrows on him unless you want a long ass and costly fight, trust me), you jump to obsidian and frost arrows. That'll prob take you to endgame. I still shoot fuling with wooden arrows but my bow mastery is at like 50 or something.

I guess I really REALLY lucked out because on my world seed on the Bonemass Island there's a huge silver vein at the base of a mountain.

The World Map even still said I was in Black Forest when I mined it, so I got all the silver ore I needed and just needed to harvest a couple of wolf skins before I had frost resistant armor.

Also there's a meadow on the other side of the island with a very small mountain, like 90% of the mountain is covered in meadow and it's just a small stretch of snow at the top it's so small, and there's silver in it too.

If I had found that first I wouldn't have even had to fend off a troll.

only arrows i use in the game are wooden obsidian and needle. obsidian and needle are super easy to farm. but for the most part you can use wooden and still do fine. you will be able to 1 shot wolves, drakes, etc. with just wooden arrow backstab.
bow are broken :)

Oh yeah against bone mass I just dug a pit for him but another thing you can do is build kind of a stone cage for him then you can attack him while he's pinned down.

I did the same to the Elder but I trapped him in a wooden fence and shot him from a safe distance, he never even attacked the fence.

Then against Morder just build a stone tower and shoot him from little windows and he can't do anything about it.

I give this advice because some of the bosses are really hard to solo if you don't have a cheap strategy like mine.

fire arrows are my favorite, and flint.

Wood arrows all day.
