===Arrows===
Currently there is only one kind of bow, having a base attack power of 3 and a durability of 150. Bow attack power is added to the attack power of whatever arrow is used to obtain the damage for a given shot.
The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:
* Knapping: Stone arrowheads can be crafted by [[Knapping|knapping]] flint. 
* ''Casting: Arrowheads cannot be made by [[casting]].''
* Smithing: Iron, Bronze alloy and copper arrowheads can be made by [[smithing]], which requires 1 ingot.
** Note: Arrowheads can also be smithed from gold and silver.  


Arrow heads are crafted via [[Crafting#Flint Knapping|knapping]] or [[Crafting#Smithing|smithing]]
Arrowheads are used to assemble arrows in the crafting grid.
