A '''golden arrow''' is a type of [[projectile]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]]. Golden arrows are [[Item size (dNetHack)|medium-sized]] piercing [[weapon]]s and have a [[Object materials (dNetHack)|base material]] of [[gold]]. [[Sunbeam]] is a stack of 20 +7 [[poisoned]] golden arrows.<br />
<br />
==Generation==<br />
Golden arrows make up {{frac|9|1000}} of all randomly generated items.<br><br />
One golden arrow will be randomly placed on the second version of the [[Grue's Cavern]] level.<br><br />
[[Captain]]s and [[watch captain]]s that are generated with a [[long sword]] have a {{frac|4}} of receiving 48 golden arrows as part of their starting inventory.<br><br />
[[Neferet the Green]] will be generated with 20 blessed +7 golden arrows, and an accompanying +7 [[elven bow]].<br><br />
Monster casting the [[arrow rain]] spell have a very low chance of generating up to 16 +0 golden arrows, which will additionally receive the [[excoriating]] [[object property]] if being cast by [[Suzerain]] or [[Voice in screams]].<br><br />
[[Hell vault]]s have a low chance of generating golden arrows. Golden arrows generated in this manner have a high chance of being generated with high [[enchantment]] receiving additional object properties.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
Golden arrows cannot be made either by [[smithing]] them yourself or having a [[smith (dNetHack)|smith]] make them for you. A stack of [[arrow]]s or [[silver arrow]]s that is dipped into a [[midas potion]] will be converted into golden arrows, maintaining previous properties such as enchantment and [[beautitude]]. Arrows of any other type will not have their base item changed.<br />
<br />
==Encyclopedia entry==<br />
{{encyclopedia|<br />
I shot an arrow into the air,<br />
It fell to earth, I knew not where;<br />
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight<br />
Could not follow it in its flight.<br />
<br />
I breathed a song into the air,<br />
It fell to earth, I knew not where;<br />
For who has sight so keen and strong<br />
That it can follow the flight of song?<br />
<br />
Long, long afterward, in an oak<br />
I found the arrow still unbroke;<br />
And the song, from beginning to end,<br />
I found again in the heart of a friend.<br />
