A '''ancient arrow''' is a type of [[projectile]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]]. Ancient arrows are [[Item size (dNetHack)|medium-sized]] piercing [[weapon]]s and whose [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] is [[metal]]. [[The Black Arrow]] is an artifact ancient arrow.

==Generation==
Ancient arrows do not randomly generate. However, they may still be generated within [[dilapidated armories]]. 
2 stacks of 10 +4 cursed ancient arrows with the [[Object_properties#Morgul|morgul]] [[Object_properties#dNetHack|object property]] will be randomly placed on the [[Mordor Ruins Quest]]. 
The Black Arrow is generated in the lake surrounding the [[Dwarf Knight quest]] home level. 
[[Hell vault]]s have a low chance of generating ancient arrows. Ancient arrows generated in this manner have a high chance of having high [[enchantment]] and receiving additional object properties. 
Monster casting the [[arrow rain]] spell have a very low chance of generating up to 16 +0 ancient arrows, which will additionally receive the [[excoriating]] [[object property]] if being cast by [[Suzerain]] or [[Voice in screams]]. 

==Description==
Ancient arrows cannot be made either by [[smithing]] them yourself or having a [[smith (dNetHack)|smith]] make them for you.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
[ The Arrow and the Song,
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]
