A silver arrow is a type of projectile that appears in NetHack. It is naturally made of silver.
Generation
General stores, used armor dealerships and antique weapon outlets can sell silver arrows.
Strategy
Silver arrows can clear a five-lane highway through silver hating monsters, but unfortunately, they are fairly rare—only twelve in a thousand randomly spawned weapons will be silver arrows. Fortunately, however, with maximized Luck even a small stack can last a fairly long time.
History
Prior to version 3.6.0,wielding a silver arrow and stabbing monsters with it did not do silver damage. Nor did throwing the arrow. Only shooting the arrow with a bow dealt silver damage. This was considered a bug by the DevTeam, and it was fixed.
