The elven arrow is a type of arrow for use with a bow that appears in NetHack. It appears as a runed arrow when unidentified. Elven arrows are wooden and susceptible to rotting and burning attacks.
Elven arrows gain +1 multishot and a +1 damage bonus when fired by an elven player from an elven bow.[1][2]
Generation
An elven Ranger's two sets of starting +0 and +2 arrows will always be elven arrows.[3]
1⁄3 of elven monsters are generated with an elven bow and 3–14 elven arrows.[4]
Strategy
Elven arrows often generate on elves, and are marginally stronger than (standard) arrows. They should be preferred over arrows of the same enchantment, unless you receive a racial multishot bonus for another kind of arrow.
History
The elven arrow was introduced in NetHack 3.0.0.
Variants
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, the Castle has a chance of generating blessed and enchanted elven arrows in the barracks overlooking the drawbridge.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, a non-cursed elven arrow has a 1 in 3 chance of a +1 bonus to multishot - e.g., a player that would normally only shoot 1 arrow will shoot d2 arrows 33% of the time, a player that would normally shoot d2 arrows will shoot d3 arrows 33% of the time, etc.[5] This bonus does not apply to dark elven arrows.
