A crude Arrow hardened in a fire. Fragile, but simple to Craft. Only effective against small game.

Overview[]

A Fire Hardened Arrow is a craftable ammunition for the Survival Bow made from a Campfire. It's made from (5) sticks and (5) crow feathers, and provides experience for the Archery skill when landed on a living target.

Fire Hardened Arrows are effective at hunting small game, such as, Rabbit and Ptarmigan which they kill in one hit, and are easier to craft than Simple Arrows. However, Fire Hardened Arrows do not cause damage to large game, such as Deer, Wolves, Poisoned Wolves, Timberwolves, Cougars, Bear, and Moose.

On hitting small game or terrain the arrow will take damage, but on hitting large game they are almost always destroyed. Shots made while undetected which land near a predator will cause them to flee, and direct hits on charging Wolves can cause it to flee (75% chance); making Fire Hardened Arrows more effective than thrown Torches or Stones.

After enough Condition loss or if the arrow strikes a hard surface head on, a Broken Fire Hardened Arrow will be produced.
