Arrows

I have been wondering about arrows for sometime now.  Obviously it appears arrows such as bodkin kind have less displayed damage than say steel arrow, but are more expensive, same goes for ivory arrows.  Which are supposed to be better?  And how can I tell?  From the price of the arrows or from the displayed damage?  Would appreciate if anyone can help with this.  As far as I can tell through usage, high displayed damage ones appears to be better.
 
Go for the higher damage, the ivory arrows were overlooked during a previous update when bows and arrows were tweaked. I suppose they should inflict more damage. You can also use the itemeditor to "fix" this yourself if you like.
 
I would edit the items, but I've not played any version of NE before the current, so I have no idea roughly how much more powerful the Bodkins/Ivory Arrows are compared to the normal ones.

Any chance of a rough guide to the differances? :smile:

Thanks in advance.
 
See it like this this:
the Ivory ones used to be the best by far. And now they're medium* in damage and horrible at how much damage they do for what they cost.

Crank them up into the 40-somethings**. That should do.

*or even below
**Heavy Bodkin have 36 or something, right?
 
I think Bodkins used to be +10 and Ivory arrows were +12 (which got left over in the newer version). Barbed used to be +4... I think... Can't remember.
 
Barbed is at 36 currently,  so copper bodkin maybe 38, steel bodkin 40, ivory 44?   

How do I do a quick fix please?  Which file do I need to edit?

Use the ItemEditor to open and edit the item_kinds1.txt.
 
Glad to serve.

You shouldn't run into any real problems with the editor as it's pretty much self explanatory. Yet I remember someone writing that he couldn't find the values that determine the damage...
