I like hiw this claims to have all the arrows but I know of at least serpent arrows that are not listed. What other arrows are in the game that you're not posting?

1 Anonymousover 2 years

Rainbow Stone Arrow. Need the Nomadic Warrior's Cookbook 7. Crafted with 3 Thin Beast Bones and 3 Ruin Fragments. Causes some kind of glow effect when arrow is drawn, on the enemy, and a shatter sound on impact. I'm not sure on the damage in comparison. Seems like it does more than regular arrows?
