Arrow
An arrow is a projectile for use with the bow. The character must wield a bow, load the arrows in his/her quiver and fire in order for maximum power. Arrows may be wielded or thrown, but this greatly reduces their effectiveness. It should be noted that crossbow bolts should be fired with a crossbow. It is easy to obtain a large supply of arrows by untrapping an arrow trap. There are a few variations of arrows out there: |

Elven Arrow
An elven arrow is a projectile for use with a bow. It appears as a runed arrow when unidentified. When fired by an elven player from an elven bow, there is a +1 arrow racial bonus for arrows fired.
